Tennessee Titans Morning Links: Mel Kiper Is Back In The Saddle Edition

09000d5d80c22de8_gallery_600_medium

Tennessee_titans_30x21 An Insider subscription is required (and honestly worth it during draft season... even if you cancel it in May), but Mel Kiper's first full 1st round mock has us taking Georgia Tech DE Michael Johnson.  At 6'7" and 260 lbs with great speed, he sounds like a guy who could really benefit from playing with Kearse for a year or so.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 In other draft news, be sure to check NFL.com for updates from this week's senior bowl.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Lions fans seem to be pretty rexeptive to Jim Schwartz.  Gunther Cunningham?  Not so much...

Tennessee_titans_30x21 With Gunther gone and Herm Edwards seemingly hung-out to dry, are he Chiefs laying the ground work to bring in Mike Shanahan?

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Hey Cleveland: Chain of Command.  You're doing it wrong.  Coaches shouldn't be hiring GMs unless said GM is just a salary cap guru and the coach has the actual personnel power. 

Tennessee_titans_30x21 While the ASPCA is a much better organization and not founded/run-by total psychopaths (full diclosure: my fiancé and I donate to the ASPCA), PETA kills them in the scathingly-funny-press-release department.  Here was their response to hearing that Vick will try to re-enter the NFL:

"Commissioner Goodell knows that he has an obligation to the league and to millions of fans, including children who look up to ballplayers as idols, to make sure that Michael Vick is mentally capable of remorse before he can touch, let alone wear, an NFL uniform again."

PETA is urging that Vick undergo a brain scan and a full psychiatric evaluation.

First person to say the Titans should give Vick a shot is getting shunned for 3 years.

Hey AJ Hawk! How does CJ's ass taste?

I remember watching Michael Johnson during the Peach Bowl and thinking how good he would look in Two-Toned Blue. The guy is a beast.

Where were you when Alge fumbled? I was in 339, hatin' Music City Miracles!

Poor Detroit and KC

Matthew Stafford and Mark Sanchez are not the answers.

Maybe if they could sit and watch, but both will certainly be thrown into the fire before they are ready. One of the biggest indicators of success for young quarterbacks is whether they leave early from school. That extra year of learning is huge (see Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco). And, aside from all that, I’m just not that impressed with either of those two quarterbacks.

Andre Smith is good.

IMO, Detroit needs a mid-priced veteran not a project

they need to start winning some games like now, and a rookie isn’t the way to do that.

Where I was raised 2 + 2 = 3rd and 6.

I just realized they have the 20th pick as well

from the Roy Williams trade. That makes it way more likely in my mind that they keep it unless somebody is willing to pay premium price for it.

I don't see any way Kerry would bite

but a Derek Anderson, Sage Rosenfels or even Daunte Culpepper would be better solutions for them than a rookie…

A DE?

I would be surprised if we pick a DE, but I guess anything along the Defensive Line is a good choice.

Especially is we can find a LB or a CB in the later rounds.

As much as I would like Michael Johnson

Don Banks’ 1st Mock Draft gives me the chills.

I would love for that to happen

but there is no shot Buzz.

Why bother...

…trying to figure out what the Titans will do in the draft? I mean it’s fun I guess but I never even heard of CJ until the Titans drafted him. “The Titans draft… Chris Johnson, running back… um… who.. wtf??”
I will be watching the draft but speculating who the Titans will draft is like trying to guess who will be in next year’s superbowl. Fun I guess but a crap shoot at best.
I will guarantee that they will never draft a receiver late in the first round. Won’t happen. Not with Fish running the show. See: Tyrone Calico…

by Titan9 on Jan 22, 2009 12:32 PM CST reply actions  

Worst part is

Calico really showed some promise until Roy Williams blew-out both of his knees on a horse-collar tackle. He was trash after that injury.

I got an idea!

Who is better, Kerry Collins or Vince Young?

Go!

This is old, but thought I'd post it anyways...

Considering all the Chris Mortensen “reports” we’ll start hearing over the next few months…

by SuperHorn on Jan 22, 2009 1:22 PM CST reply actions  

Man that title runs through my head every single time Mort 'reports' something...

because that’s exactly what it seems like.
