Tennessee Titans Morning Links: Consolers Of The Stupid Edition
Last year Smash and Dash split the carries at a 60/40 clip. This year it's more like 75/25 so far. Now I know there's been a lot of talk about the lack of consistency in the run game, but CJ's big runs are being wasted as well because Kerry and (at times) the receivers can't capitalize on the swings in momentum he provides.
I swear it's like we're living in the friggin' Twilight Zone (which for those of you under 15, has nothing to do with angsty-vampire-abstinence-parables).
Blaming our 0-4 start on some curse related to the terrible towel is like blaming an earthquake on throwing salt over the wrong shoulder: it's a convenient way to console the stupid.
(Also in non-Titans news some amy have not heard yet, assaulty-WR Braylon Edwards is now a NY Jet)
Follow us through the jump to see what record Peyton is trying to break against us...
I have no idea why Paul Kuharsky picked this play, out of all the pivotal ones from Sunday, to break-down in-depth...
Peyton Manning is trying to become only the 3rd QB in history to start an NFL season with 5 straight 300+ yard performances. Even if we win, I'll almost guarantee that he hits that mark against our porous secondary.
ESPN Page 2 revises a bunch of NFL logos (ours included) to reflect their losing ways, with mixed comedic results.
MC Hammer is now trying to bring some sense of normalcy to the Crabtree-49ers mess. I would never kid about something like that because, frankly, I'm not creative enough to dream it up! [Update: Crabtree has finally signed a contract with the 49ers.]
Dumping on the celebrity worship of Tim Tebow is always a good way to get me to read, especially when you wrap it up with this gem:
People worship Tim Tebow because he's a symbol of white racial angst.
Agreed, and It isn't Tebow's fault

It was hilarious.
I also rather liked the gray-haired & stubbly Vikings logo.

I completely agree
but CJ’s big runs are being wasted as well because Kerry and (at times) the receivers can’t capitalize on the swings in momentum he provides.
I completely agree with this, CJ may not be doing as good as last year, but the defense does not need to worry nearly as much about the pass game anymore so they can focus on him. Our run game can put 8 in the box, but Collins needs to capitalize.

huh? Not doing as good as last year?
CJ leads the NFL in rushing right now:
Total Yards
CJ – 434
Adrian Peterson – 412
YPC
CJ – 6.29
AP – 4.9
Granted some very long runs contribute to that, but I think CJ is having a good year so far.

How exactly is CJ not doing as good as last year?
Where did August even say that?

Was anyone else disgusted by Chris Johnson's hair on Live with Jeff Fisher last night?

disgusted seems a little strong, no?

Remember Drew Bennett always looked like he just rolled out of bed with that mop he had
He still looks like that on ESPN First Take. Many years ago I used to sport a pony tail so I’m all for these kids letting their “freak flag fly”. I’d rather having them express themselves that way instead of running around with a posse that shoots up strip joints. I have no problem with how CJ wears his hair.
The play that PK critiqued was pointing out the Michael Griffin problem that is dragging this team down. He plays 3 yards off the receiver. That’s not covering someone.
Peyton Manning must be licking his chops this week.

I don't want it to sound like I'm a Michael Griffin hater
I loved him last year. It’s just that he looks like he’s lost out there this year.

youre referring to KC
when you talk about expressing yourself through guns, gangs and strip clubs right?

Not at all. He looked homeless!! How could a millionaire let his hair get that gross and go on television?

Yes, what a horrifying outrage a millionairre doesn't make his hair look the way I want it to look

Let me make sure I have my facts straight
We’re 0-4, and our big concern is what people’s hair looks like. Is that right??

I think if CJ cuts his hair we'll run the table.

CJ and I have a deal
He doesn’t tell me how to wear my hair, and I don’t tell him how to wear his.
by JimR on Oct 7, 2009 1:23 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions 0 recs
we have the exact opposite agreement
i have a faux-hawk for him, and hes greasing and growing out his hair for me. so its on me. sorry republicans.

I was completely kidding.
I couldn’t care less what he wears, what he looks like, his hairstyle, what he tweets about, etc…

I think Lendale should start
Let Lendale wear down the defense.
I think it should still be 60/40 with the majority going to CJ but I would put him in when the defense is catching their breath.
What would be wrong with both of them in the backfield at the same time for some sets? CJ could go in motion for a wheel route or quick screen.

I think Dinger thinks
that putting them in the backfield at the same time is an illegal formation.

Does anyone have the stats on how long it's been since KVB has been productive?

about a year I'd guess
didn’t he get hurt around this time last year? He hasn’t been anywhere near that level since.
