Tennessee Titans Morning Links: Return Of The Hawk Edition

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Yesterday Jimmy asked how we feel about the game Sunday, and I think Ryan Fowler said it perfectly:

"Quite honestly, I hope they all do well," Titans linebacker Ryan Fowler said. "But I certainly don't want them to start that streak with us."

I can't imagine what the Texans players and their fans have gone through over the past week or so (though I've heard the stories and seen the effects Ike had on my beloved Astros), but I hope they're at least in a place where football can be a healthy distraction.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Big thanks to gramsey712 for passing along a good preview of the Titans-Texans game by The Sporting News.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 How anyone could write this piece without bringing up how cupcake the first half of our schedule is, I'm not sure, but it's sure nice to see the Titans staying focused on winning the game that's in front of them while everybody else tries to distract them.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 A great read on the vocal leader of this defense, Keith Bulluck, and his 100th consecutive start for the Titans.  If you've never read his life story, you really should... here's a good place to start.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Justin Gage, our only really reliable WR, hasn't practiced in a few days, but there is one upside:

With Gage out, rookie wideout Lavelle Hawkins continues to become a bigger part of the offense. He was inactive for the first two games.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Terry McCormick relays a tradition Jim Washburn has passed down to our defensive line for years: The Chain.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Boom King (Vanden Bosch) has made it his mission not to be the weak link... I'd say he's been might successful if that's his goal.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 If you're going to the game Sunday, the Titans are participating in a charity drive that benefits our soldiers at war.  All you have to do is bring your old cell phone; AT&T will have it recycled and the proceeds will go towards buying soldiers pre-paid phone cards to call back home.

Looks to be a great game on Sunday, can't wait to see it.

The Titan defense is the heart of this team and should be able to contain the Texans offense. It would be great to have 3 wins after Sunday, but the team cannot afford to be complacent and I don’t think they will be.

100 starts in a row

Is impressive, especially on the defensive side of the ball.

Congrats to Bullock. Maybe the most underrated player in the NFL.

Fisher on the Dan Patrick Show

“Young will be back sooner rather than later.”

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/danpatrick/streamingaudio/

Good interview that gives a little more perspective from Fisher himself…no “media spin.”

More.

Fisher may put Young into the coaches box on Sunday.

This is a great idea of they do it. He can learn from Heimerdinger as the game goes on.

'Dinger is always on the sidelines.

Michael Roos doesn't eat pitas because NOTHING BREAKS THE POCKET ON HIS WATCH!!!

Realized that after I posted

Figure they can put the QB coach in the box. And, though Dinger might be on the sidelines, he could still talk to VY through the headset…wishful thinking.

by SuperHorn on Sep 19, 2008 11:46 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Agreed, but I think they're really wanting VY to watch from a distance how Kerry carries himself...

because no matter what happens on the field, Kerry is a consummate professional on those sidelines. That’s what VY never really got to understand and learn from because was played so quickly.

I'm not sure they quite trust VY in front of the media yet.

p.s.

I’d kill for there to be a delete/edit button on comments because I hit ‘post’ way too quickly all the time!
