This was the toughest one yet. The Titans have until tomorrow at 4 p.m. to be down to 53.

Alge Crumpler, Bo Scaife, Jared Cook, Craig Stevens (4)

Michael Roos, Jake Scott, Kevin Mawae, Eugene Amano, David Stewart, Leroy Harris, Mike Otto, Troy Kropog (8)

Kyle Vanden Bosch, Jevon Kearse, Jacob Ford, William Hayes, Dave Ball (5)

My only question of this is why would we keep Allred over Fowler?

Was wondering that too.

I agree that, to whatever extent possible, they’ll likely try to manage this CB thing via the Practice Squad. But if they actually cut Fowler, well, that’ll be quite a fall for a guy who was a pretty big part of the Defense just a little over a year ago.

Might be right..

Jimmy, you may be right about Allred over Fowler.

Fowler has been terrible this pre-season

and Allred is younger and does a lot more on special teams

Good Prediction...

I’d say that hit it very close. Like you said, there’s going to be some tough calls. But, I don’t know if they put Fowler to the squad be Allred.

Sorry..

I meant I don’t know if they’ll cut Fowler before Allred.

we better add another CB.

Tough decisions to be made

I see Larry Birdine making it but at the expense of who, I don’t know.

He has been making plays

but I just don’t see where he fits. They aren’t cutting any of the 5 DEs listed, and I can’t see them cutting 6.

I'm starting to think that L. Hawkins could get cut.

That is my thoughts too..

I agree that he could

The problem is they need bodies there. Now if there is a receiver out there they like, he is the first to go IMO.

Isn't it possible..

That they may just look to Mark Jones to fill Hawks spot, and just keep 5 WRs. Like if they decide to go with 3 QBs.

by J3G77 on Sep 4, 2009 12:29 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

I'd prefer 3 QBs than keeping Hawk and 6 WRs

Have we ever gone 5 wide before?

Even if they did go 5 wide...

…they’d have CJ and Scaife or Cook in at least two of the spots.

I doubt Jones makes it if they keep 3 QBs.

If they do that, I look at Ringer as the most likely Returner.

Ouch!

Bet he was surprised! After last night, I though for sure that he’d kept his job.

Yeah, so did I..

Surely to hell, they’re not really going to chance putting Britt out there to return punts. How stupid would that be. Not that he wouldn’t be great doing it, but he’s too important to us.

by J3G77 on Sep 4, 2009 1:21 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

nah

you’re more likely to se Tuff Harris (if he makes the cut, and I think he will) than Britt back there.

who's the KR now?

without Jones surely they won’t put Britt back….so Ringer maybe??? If they only keep 5 CBs it certainly wouldn’t be Mouton, being short at that spot already….ugh, why didn’t the Titans re-sign Carr?
