Tennessee Titans Tuesday Camp Linkage

Terry McCormick's camp confidental. Not only is Crumpler making plays on the field, he is helping Vince Young get his head out of his butt when he isn't playing well. Everyone knows that I am a big VY supporter, but I am sick of his pouting. We were all touting his leadership coming out of college and in his rookie season. Last year he was sulking on the sideline every time something went wrong. He has got to get past that if he is going to be successful in this league. /rant

The Titans Radio recap has more praise for Crumpler mentioning he had 3 TD catches during team drills.

Another reason to get excited about Chris Johnson.

A nice piece on Stephen Tulloch. I would love to see Tulloch in there as the middle linebacker, but he won't get that shot until he proves that he will be in the right spot 95% of the time. The coaches are going to go with Fowler, even though Tulloch has more talent, because he knows his assignments and plays them on every play.

The Tennessean practice report from that includes more high praise for Jacob Ford.

I don’t really need any more reasons to get excited about Chris Johnson. But I’ll take it anyway, I love reading the quotes from other players reacting to Johnson.

More on Johnson

At some practices, defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz screams “square him up” more often than anything else, and he’s not talking about LenDale White or Chris Henry.
“It’s hard,” Schwartz said. “Once the pads have been on, guys have been lighting some people up pretty good—except for him. And it’s not that they are not trying, it’s just that he’s slippery. He can glide, he can cut in a hurry and it puts such more stress on your defense as far as angles and things like that. You can’t be sloppy at all when you have an explosive player like that.”

This morning, Johnson took a pitch and went to the left sideline, turned the corner in a flash and was gone, with no pursuers closing to the sideline fast enough to be able to get him out of bounds. In a lighter practice in the afternoon he collected a little looped pass, sidestepped pursuing linebacker David Thornton, and ate up a chunk of yardage.
