Tennessee Titans Morning Links: Back To The Fundamentals Edition

Kerry Collins isn't expecting a QB change coming out of the bye week... which is nuts to me.
Chuck Cecil spoke-out about the defense's abysmal performance so far this year, but it was NFL analyst Brian Baldinger who hit the nail on the head:
"If you look at what Jim Schwartz is doing with Detroit and now what Chuck Cecil is doing in Tennessee, they are the two worst pass defenses in football (the Lions are 29th). And their commonality is they are not a good pressure team,'
Terry McCormick speculates on whether Cortland Finnegan had a setback in the recovery from his hamstring issues, and down plays reports that the Titans are eager to give Boom King a contract extension (despite the Tennessean report to the contrary).
Follow us through the jump for more fundamental links...
The theme in practice this week is 'fundamentals', which is exactly what they need to get back to...
I 100% don't care what these people think on the subject.
Clifton Brown looks at the case for benching Mark Sanchez, Kerry Collins and Jason Campbell.
Brandon Jones left the Titans for the big-time out in San Francisco, but instead he is still without a catch and looking at even less playing time as Michael Crabtree comes into the fold.
I just linked this one for the hilariously bad title: "Jeff Fischer Has His Titans Under Control"

That last article is ridiculous.
He actually put this line in there:
It’s as if the University of Tennessee’s head coach Lane Kiffin spoke badly about Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, and the two took it out on the lowly Titans

I still think our entire defense would be better…
… if Schwartz was still around calling the plays.
It wouldn’t be as good as last season’s “D” was but I have to think it would be a little bit better, at least…

i think....
its more of Fish wanting to keep his word to KC that he would be the starter, that was the whole reason for the contract extension as im sure ur aware of, that was the worst contract given all season. too too much faith in a qb that, quite frankly, was never really that good his career. yeah he went to the super bowl, so did trent dilfer.

The QB controversy that ain't
Would someone please explain to me why there’s such a hue and cry to have Vince starting? Can he make people stop dropping the ball? Can he make bench-worthy receivers suddenly have sure hands? Is he suddenly going to stop hitting defensive backs in between the numbers?
Kerry Collins is not the problem. Dropped passes, turnovers, and a defense that couldn’t cover a corpse are the problem.

@brandon G - If your key player is underperforming, you have to ask "is it his fault or everyone else's"
all of your points are valid, however, they pertain to other people.
In basketball, if your team has not won a game all year and your starting point guard has the worst shooting percentage, worst free throw percentage, and worst ball handling skills coupled with deteriorating skills due to age: don’t you put in the younger point guard who won rookie of the year and has excelled in the same situation before?
That’s my thought.

Who's underperforming again?
How exactly is Collins underperforming? The quarterback passes the ball, and the receivers catch the ball. Collins is doing his part, the receivers aren’t. If the quarterback is hitting receivers between the numbers, and the receivers drop the ball despite getting both hands on it, how is that a lack of performance on the part of the quarterback?
If the argument is that we’re screwed anyway, so we might as well see what Vince can do, then fine. If the argument is that Vince should be on the field for Wildcat-style plays, then fine. If the argument is that Collins isn’t doing his job, then that’s a load of crap.

False question?
How is that a false question? Quarterbacks pass, receivers catch, unless they’re Titans receivers.
Vince can run. Everybody knows this. And that’s the problem—everybody knows this, which means that everybody will look for it. Vince running can’t cover the deficit in catches made.
by Brandon_G on Oct 22, 2009 4:35 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
everybody.....
does know this, exactly, and the second VY looks to run alot of defenders are going to stop in their tracks and look to shut him down. all Vince needs is that little hesitation for our young, fast and athletic receivers to get open, and with his good passing percentages its likely that he will be able to get the ball to the receivers. it worked with mcnair under dinger, and i think it can work with VY, that’s the type of QB dinger needs to help his system work. i know its preseason but that bomb he did to britt when he was wide open….he was wide open b/c both corners left their position b/c they though VY was going to take it upfield. yeah i know, that was preseason with 2nd stringers blah blah blah, with starters its even more able to work. first string defenses know what VY can do, and as smart as they are, they will know they have to watch VY behind center. not so much the case with KC, they just know they have to cover the WR’s, like hes gonna run it or something? lol

Collins
You’re right & wrong. It’s not just KC. But it’s KC, too. What’s happening is that when they lost that 1st game in Pitt, they all started to hang their heads a little. Then after the 2nd game, they started hanging them a little more. Well….you know the rest. Some teams are very streaky, but unfortunately, sometimes they streak in the wrong direction.

It’s funny to me that a whole bunch of people seem to be clamoring for Vince Young to start like that’s going to be the season-changer. Everybody knows that the defense giving up 600-plus passing yards in a game, a whole bunch of turnovers, and a lackluster offense are the reason we’re losing. Nevertheless, it’s all “KERRY SUX! PUT IN VINCE!”
Just because the guy’s not Payton Manning doesn’t mean he’s terrible and that Vince can fix it all with his legs. Collins isn’t perfect and makes mistakes like every other quarterback in the league, but he’s a long way from this team’s biggest problem right now. That’s my point, plain and simple.

dont let a few vince fanboys throw you. the rest of us want him in because its time for a change, we need to see what hes got, and he can sometimes make plays on thrid down. please point to where collins is playing well. i beg of you. thats what i have issue with. youre somehow saying collins is playing okay. hes been awful. hes overthrowing players, taking sacks, making wrong reads, missing targets, and throwing picks. oh and fumbling without a defender within 5 feet of him. he has been awful. his stats are near the bottom of the league, and theyre not cause by a few drops every game. get of your knees, give kerry back the booze, and realize that its not everyone else whos wrong.

because....
we need a spark, KC will never know what it feels like to play with heart, emotion, and the actual ability to lead a team, things that are needed for our starting QB and things that VY has done for us before. KC goes out there every sunday and looks like he’s hammered(maybe he is) and he plays like it too, yeah receivers are dropping balls, but at the same time theyre catching alot more then when VY played and that alone should render some kind of thought to put him in. this is a man that is committed to playing for us, he has even said he would renegotiate his contract to stay. and why put in KC? his play and decision making (dumb INT’s) have put us where we are now, winless.

KC vs. VY
I don’t recall seeing anyone having to cajole Collins into returning to a game in the last couple of seasons. Heart is playing hard whether people are booing or not.
As far as dumb INTs are concerned, I suggest you look at VY’s TD and INT numbers.
by Brandon_G on Oct 22, 2009 3:41 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
he never said....
he did not want to go back in, yeah it took a little longer than usual, the man said he was just taking a break to clear his mind so that he would make the same mistakes. and that seems logical, to clear your head of any misunderstandings, like ppl booing on the FIRST game of the season (granted he was having a bad game, but collins has had 6 and the sound of those boos are nowhere near as loud as what VY got, for no good reason). and i stand by my dumb INT’s comment, VY’s INT’s on his record are more to WR’s not being able to hold onto the ball, only when the wideouts dropped/tipped balls from VY they ended up in the defenders hands. too many times VY had to chase down CB’s that intercepted balls that were on target but were not held onto.
and in response, maybe you should look at KC’s TD/INT ration from this year.

Brandon you're missing the point altogether.
This team is dogshit. At this point, whoever starts at quarterback is largely irrelevant because we’re not going to tear off 10 wins, and even if we did it probably isn’t enough.
But, no one here can say, without a shred of doubt, that Vince is completely done. A big decision has to be made in the offseason, and we’re not learning anything with Vince on the bench. With Kerry’s awful play, it makes it a no brainer. I just can’t see how things could get any worse.

Agree with you for about 90%
Look, I know I’m taking an unpopular position on this thread. I know the team sucks. I’m not a Collins fan trying to prop up my boy. If he’s gone next season, it won’t bother me in the least, because the guy’s nearing the end of his career and is not the future of this franchise. He’s clearly not a motivator, either, and this team is in desperate need of a leader.
I’m also not saying Vince is completely done. I just don’t think he’s the future. If I’m wrong, then great, I’ll gladly eat crow if it means another 13-3 season and a trip to the playoffs. I just don’t think that’s what’s going to happen.
The 10% of your comment that we disagree on is that Collins is playing terribly. His stats don’t account for the absurd number of dropped passes, something Collins has no control over whatsoever. My whole point here is that heaping blame on Collins when he’s doing what he’s supposed to be doing — managing games and hitting receivers in the hands — is not where the energy should be spent right now.
Like I said above, if the reason to put Vince in is that this season’s basically done, and we might as well see if the guy’s developed since the first part of last season, then fine. Put the guy in and let’s hope for the best. But it’s not going to result in receivers suddenly developing the knack for catching the ball.

thanks for understanding
my specific point (as I’m sure you can read from my other comments) is this:
Collins can’t win the game unless everyone else performs up to par. On the other hand, Vince Young can win the game by himself. Remember his run against the Texans in Texas to win the game?

There's NO Justification for KC to play - the stats don't lie
I don’t recall seeing anyone having to cajole Collins into returning to a game in the last couple of seasons.
If you look at VY and KC’s careers in context of year to year, I’d say VY is ahead of KC. Remember that Collins quit on his team in Carolina and has baggage as a racist?
Even if I grant you that KC v VY in the heart category goes to KC, does that improve his stats this season?
I think when VY threw 9 TDs v 17 Int – there were plenty of drops that resulted in Int. VY didn’t exactly have the talent around him that KC does now either.
Justify this:
31st – completion % – 54.8
3rd most interceptions – 8
29th @ 1st down % – 28.4
31st – QB rating – 62.0
At some point, Fisher has to face facts – the stats don’t lie. KC SUX!
Vince Young could make more than 28% by running on 3rd down alone!

Baggage
I’m not saying that the receiving corps didn’t suck when Vince was starting. They dropped (and still drop) a whole lot of his passes, too. Our receivers in the last few years couldn’t catch the flu. What I’m saying is that replacing Collins with anybody, Vince or otherwise, won’t fix a bunch of receivers with the dropsies.
As far as the heart argument is concerned, I’m not going to accuse either player of having a whole lot of it right now. Kerry Collins has had his personal problems, and so has Vince Young. My comment there was directed at the suggestion by kg_2005 that Vince is just waiting to explode onto the scene. As a Titans fan, as long as Vince is on the roster, I hope I’m wrong and the guy takes the team to a Super Bowl and wins MVP doing it, but I just don’t see it happening.
Joy Kat below is right: we need to be looking at QBs in the draft. After all, we’ll probably be positioned well enough to get an excellent pick.
by Brandon_G on Oct 22, 2009 4:13 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I see your point but I this one stat is enough justification for me
29th @ 1st down % – 28.4
When forced into a 3rd down, KC can only advance the ball by throwing.
VY can keep a drive alive with his legs.
There’s probably at least 2 games this year that if we could have kept drives alive, we win. The defense isn’t on the field more and our rushing game is stronger when we convert 3rd downs.
VY is a playmaker and that’s why he was able to overcome a weak receiving corp when he played. KC is not a playmaker, so if no one else shines, he suffers.

Good point. Wildcat, anyone?
Absolutely, Vince can keep a drive alive with his legs. That’s why I mentioned Wildcat-style plays above, but the Titans don’t seem to want to do that for some reason that I don’t understand. I think that getting Vince into the game is a good idea, but I don’t think throwing Collins under the bus is necessary.

We have the skill players to run the wildcat
I dont believe our O-Line could take the abuse. Mawae is on his last leg, Scott hasnt been asked to run-block a whole lot in his career, and honestly I just dont think we have the coaching staff to run it.
You are right that Collins isnt whole-heartedly responsible for the offensive woes because at one point this season I wasnt sure if our right tackle knew what the line of scrimmage even was, or how to line up on it. Vince isnt the answer to this season, because there is no answer for this season. Just ask Jeff Fisher.
There have been several times this season that I have found myself screaming profanity at Collins through my tv screen, especially on third down. I think this is a definite link to what everyone is saying about VY using his legs. Pressure KC on third down, and he throws it to the waterboy. Pressure VY on 3rd down and he will atleast scramble(sometimes to the 1 yard line before fumbling), but he extends the play.

Lightweight defenses
I guess, then, that it’s a good thing we’re not playing any defensive powerhouses for the rest of the season, because we’d otherwise likely wind up right back….ah, hell with it. Nevermind.

VY....
has made defenses look like s**t before, and thats when he was younger. it looks like hes gotten smarter since then, so whos to say he wouldnt be able to at least pick up some yards. you cant say defenses are just going to shut down VY’s running, if i can see peyton (and all these other non mobile QB’s) pick up some decent yards when he does tuck the ball, i know VY has a very good chance to make an impact.

and if you....
look at the preseason, b/c thats the only playing time he gets, his footwork has gotten much much better, as with his overall game. and if everybody hasnt noticed that, then they need to get their eyes checked.

if your whole...
thing is about WR’s dropping balls so no QB is the answer, then why not put a QB in the game that CAN STILL use his legs to move the chains. and i dont care if ppl are “that was in college”, yeah yeah yeah, skills like that just dont leave a player. he struggled at texas first, and then the game slowed down for him, and his final record at texas only had 2 losses. and VY is a decent passer i believe his percentage completion is higher than KC’s career wise, granted KC has played longer but you would think he would have a higher one if he was such a great passer as ppl seem to think he is. theres no real evidence to know if VY gotten better and theres no real evidence to see if he’s gotten worse, because he hasnt had the chance to play in real games. give him the chance and see what happens. nobody knows for sure.

If KC isn't an effective game mangager, he's nothing
why play KC to see if he can get better? HE’S HAD 16 YEARS TO PROVE HE SUX!

Kerry Collins has had a poor year.
Even though Collins is not doing great he is the lesser of two evils. Defense is the bigger issue and hanging on to the ball. If those two things get corrected, and the defense is a giant issue, then sure the Titans will start winning some games. They do not have the personnel to win a lot of games this year and a new QB in the draft is a high priority.

From titanmama - link to Tennessee blog - Manning response to jersey gate
We, the hometown fans of the TN Titans are TIRED of wearing f#$ing Houston Oilers jerseys, we are tired of the coach DELIBERATELY sabatoging this season so he won't have to admit he f&#ed up, and we are tired of being lectured by the all knowing media about football, when they don’t know a doggone thing more about it than we do.
Jeff Fisher has been telling the fans of Nashville all year to shut up because he knows what he is doing . . . well so far coach, it looks like you are full of sh!t.
But that’s just me.
One of the funniest I’ve read so far.

When Did They Start Allowing Weapons In The Locker Room?
Asked about what they are working on, the Titans used words like fundamentals, basics and fixing mistakes. Tight end Bo Scaife didn’t parse phrases himself.
“It’s a secret,‘’ he said when asked about this week. "Big secret. G-4-5 classified.’’
Can’t you share a little bit?
“If someone in here finds out I told something, I’m going to get fined or stabbed,’’ Scaife said.
