Tennessee Titans Morning Links: The Ghost of Bum Phillips Edition

The Broncos claimed Calvin Lowry off of waivers Sunday.  There's no confirmation to the rumor that when the Broncos tried to contact him, Lowry was juked-out by his cell phone as it vibrated on the table.

 A feel good piece on the Titans' final cut survivor, David Ball.

 Chris Johnson is chomping at the bit to hit the field.  In other news, LenDale is proving to be the Titans' quote machine this year:

He will lie on the bottom of piles where linemen whose weight rivals refrigerators are in no rush to get off his back, his legs, his chest. When Johnson tries to get up, some defenders will push him back down. They will talk to him. Their words will not be encouraging....

 

It doesn't mean you have to let them boss you around when you have the ball in your hands," said fellow running back LenDale White...

 A quick rundown of cuts across the league... anyone else stunned that Willie Anderson was cut by the Bengals?  Guess he should have hit somebody or gotten a DUI.

 In our daily Paul Kuharsky update, he answers readers' questions on the Titans, Vince Young and Jeff FIsher as Obama's running mate.  He's also got thoughts on Chris Henry:

On Henry, I have to say [he's just hanging around because he was a 2nd round pick, not because he earned it]. I think his 2009 replacement may all ready be on the roster: Rafael Little is rehabbing a knee injury suffered at the Senior Bowl and is on the Titans' non-football injury list. (Yes, it was a football injury but not in football with the Titans, who signed him as an injured undrafted rookie out of Kentucky.)

 Former Titans receiver Courtney Roby made the final cut with the Colts.

 ESPN breaks down each team's schemes... if you say that 3 times in front of a mirror the ghost of Bum Phillips appears.
