Tennessee Titans Morning Links: Note To All, We Didn't Design MCM's New Look And Feel Edition

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Even more important than having VY back at the helm was the secondary being back at full speed, and maybe even better than full speed since it didn't feature Nick Harper.  And there was one interesting thing about Finnegan's performance that I didn't even think about, but remembered it after Jim Wyatt pointed it out:

Finnegan moved from his normal right side of the formation over to the left side, usually manned by injured Nick Harper, and said he hopes the move might be a permanent one.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Coach Fisher likes what he saw out of VY on Sunday, but now the focus is to get out there and do it week in and week out.  The key to that is making sure the team doesn't get ahead of themselves and act like they're 6-1, not 1-6.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Case in point: discussions regarding who is the worst team in the league still pop-up when you search Google News for 'Tennessee Titans'.

Follow us through the jump to find-out what personal best Vince Young achieved on Sunday...

Star-divide

Tennessee_titans_30x21 For the first time in his career, Vince Young didn't give up a sack or an interception on Sunday.  Some of that is a testimony to the outstanding game the O-line played, but Vince did a good job moving around and escaping pressure to stay upright as well.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 PFW takes a look at the young playmakers who are flourishing across the NFL, and Chris Johnson is right near the top of the list.  They compare his playmaking abilities to that of a young LaDainian Tomlinson, which I think just about any team would take in a heartbeat.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Some people who are openly not on VY's side need to realize one thing: yes, Vince only had 125 passing yards Sunday, but we had 305 yards rushing for a total of 430 yards.  No team in the league got much more than that total, so lets not blame VY because Chris Johnson was eating up huge chunks of yardage on drives where Vince would've otherwise been driving down the field...  I'll bet that if you go back and look at games where a team runs for 300+ yards, they don't throw it for 200 as well.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 As happy as the team was with Chris Johnson's long runs, that's how upset they were over the terrible tackling that lead to MJD's two monster TD runs.  On both there were guys in position who just didn't close the deal.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 The 49ers played a tough game against the Colts last Sunday, and now they're looking worse for the wear: LT Joe Staley, CB Nate Clements and a few others will all miss Sunday's contest.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 No real news here, but I wanted to point out that National Football Post has snazzy new team pages where fans can vote on approval polls for coaches, assistants and GMs.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 T-Rac's Possee has declared this VYVW: Vince Young Victory Week!  While we all share the enthusiasm, I'm hoping we don't all share the same... shall we call it, physiological effect?

On the NFP Titans page -

why is Ryan Mouton listed as a passer?

GREAT NEW LOOK!

Hey really digging the new look easier to navigate. Still a little cluttered but better than before. Thumbs up!

Ok time for a question regarding Harper………..

Is there any real case to be made about bringing him back into the line up?

Seems to me like Hood is looking for a new job and if he keeps doing what he did Sunday then let the man play!

Thoughts?

my thoughts exactly

i saw some sure tackling a foot speed i liked with Hood, and that i havent seen from Harper

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you.

I agree too

CBs, like RBs, seem to be the position where you go from having it to being awful in the blink of an eye. The second you lose a step, you’re dead as a CB and Harper obviously has.

T-Rac's a great fan

but somebody needs to let him know that he’s giving us waaaaay too much personal information. :-)

I think he meant...

that he has built some sort of shrine or statue or something like that.

It just shows I'm a true fan

All the rest of you are fake fans.
