Tennessee Titans Cut Four Players Including Mark Jones and Paul Williams

PrintThe Titans have already started to trim the roster down towards the required 53 with four cuts this afternoon. The number doesn't have to be 53 until tomorrow, but the Titans started today by cutting return man Mark Jones, wide receiver Paul Williams, offensive lineman Jason Murphy, and wide receiver Phillip Morris.
Obviously Jones is a bit of a surprise to me because I projected him to make the 53 man roster this morning but nothing earth shattering so far. I have no idea who they are going to use on punts considering the only three people they used in preseason to return punts were Chris Davis, Ryan Mouton, and Jones.
[UPDATE]- Scout.com is reporting Casey Cramer has been cut as well.
[UPDATE #2]- Rocky Boiman and Josh Stamer have also been cut.
[UPDATE #3]- Demarcus Faggins- HE GONE!
[UPDATE #4]- Tuff Harris and Nick Schommer gone. They are killing my 53 man.
[UPDATE #5]- Fernando Velasco out.
[UPDATE #6]- Playmaking tight end Mathew Mulligan released.
[UPDATE #7]- The most famous preseason punter in NFL history, AJ Trapasso has also been let go.
[UPDATE #8]- Shake's boy Mitch King will not be joining the 2009 fun.
[UPDATE #9]- Tanard Davis the latest casualty. We don't need no stinkin corners.
[UPDATE #10]- Cory Lekkerkerker no mas.
[UPDATE #11]- Rodney Ferguson II gone. That's 17 today. 5 more cuts to make.
[UPDATE #12]- LaJuan Ramsey and Ryan Durand cut.

I'm SHOCKED Mark Jones was cut!
After last night I actually felt better about our returners due to him.

Madden 10 is wrong
they had Jones as the Titans returner

I'm surprised he was too.
The Nashville city paper site was annocing that Boiman and Stamer was going to be released.
WHY IS CHRIS HENRY STILL ON THE ROSTER????
Sorry about the all caps, but damn I thought he’d be gone before now.
Theory:
Trying to get a pick – any pick -in exchange for a former #2?

So... the Bengals?
They apparently only have 1 full-time guy on their scouting unit.
And they’re terribly managed, so they could make a mistake like this.
You underestimate just..
…how much some coaches think of themselves.

Yeah..
That same type of thought is how we ended up with him. “Oh, with his physical ability, we can teach him to hit the holes.”
Exactly.
Never underestimate how much some coaches think of themselves.

I'd love to hear a coach say we couldn't get the most out of a RB...
Music City Miracles blogger and official Jon Bovi tour manager.
I didn't know it..
…but he has a 420,000 dollar of guaranteed money clause in his contract, released or not. I say cut him anyway, choke on the money and save a roster spot, but who knows what they’ll do.
They are always talking about
how good they are at cap management, so you know they have the money to eat it.

Faggins is another surprise...
maybe Fish is finally ready to pick some young guys over tired retreads veterans.

Tanard Davis is jumping up and down right now

or maybe not
"I finished the game. In my mind, if I finished the game, I can play next week." - Steve McNair RIP
But who...
..returns kicks and punts now?
This was a heck of a problem prior to Pacman, and going from Carr to, well, who-the-heck-knows leaves me a tad concerned.
I hope all of the questions just work themselves out (Return game, secondary depth, WR situation), but I’d hate to lose out on a great season based on indifference or overconfidence when it comes to those issues.

Faggins cut and I'm a little relieved.
Did ya’ll ever read what they had to say about the guy over at Battle Red Blog? It made Reynaldo Hill look good by comparison.
Over/Under: Ringer our retun man?
He can probably pick it up, and he has good hands, good vision, and decent speed.
I'd say it's a lock, unless they get somebody else off the waiver wire...
Music City Miracles blogger and official Jon Bovi tour manager.
looking like it
we’re too good to rely on so many unproven guys for important depth spots… at least that’s always seemed to be Fiher’s M.O.
Music City Miracles blogger and official Jon Bovi tour manager.
Should not have cut Mark Jones unless they are making Ringer return.
Also, Faggins being gone is good because hes medicore, but wed better get some dang corners.
Who doesn't want to be a promiscuous dope fiend?
Maybe our elusive kick returner
is still technically on someone else’s roster…
Music City Miracles blogger and official Jon Bovi tour manager.
Oooh.
That would be a nice “waiver wire” pick-up. Doubt he gets cut, but hope he does.

Could we make all our cuts today?

by Aditya T (smashville) on Sep 4, 2009 3:33 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
I think they will...
so they can focus on who’s going to be available
Christie kicks it high and short...Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25...He dishes it back to Wycheck...He throws it across the field to Dyson...

You know..
For a team who was said to have a bunch of tough decisions to make, they’re making them pretty fast, and making them look easy in the process, lol.
I know I will get slammed for saying this...
but I hate to see Trapasso go. I know there is no way we could sacrifice an important depth spot to keep him and I think letting him go was probably the only option, but damnit I liked the guy. He isn’t as good as Craig by any means, but I think Craig will be retiring soon and we could have done worse replacing him.
I think someone will pick him up, even if it’s just for a practice squad. With the headlines he made this pre-season he will be watched.
Well...
…Fisher tends to live and die with veteran kickers and punters.

Who on the bubble didn't get cut?
Chris Henry obviously.
What wr’s are left?
Who are then the primary backup db’s?
by zackmann on Sep 4, 2009 3:53 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
right now
mouton and cary williams
"I finished the game. In my mind, if I finished the game, I can play next week." - Steve McNair RIP
The front office has got to have somebody in mind on another no roster. No way we go into this season this thin at corner.
You know, unless I’m wrong, and we do, and for some reason keep like 7 offensive backs on our roster. Hey, it could happen, Henry, Little, and Ferguson are all still on the roster. Right now by my count we still have 2 FBs (Hall, Ferguson) and 5 RBs(Johnson, White, Ringer, Ganther, Little, Henry) still around. After so many cuts in other places, you would think we’d have seen a couple of those (coughcoughhenrycough) gone before now
Paul williams
We all knew it was a mistake to begin with. Ugh. The titans have made some great picks the last few years and some really bonehead ones. Quite a contrast.

Mulligan!
Can we get a do-over?
Yuck, that was terrible. Just gonna press delete here…oops

yeah
when he signs for another team and burns us…
He comes from Lerk, a country
who’s language contains only 4 letters. It’s just north of Norway on the Erkerlerker Peninsula.

The Titans just have to cut him
just too many Ks in his name
"I finished the game. In my mind, if I finished the game, I can play next week." - Steve McNair RIP
Originally..
I would’ve said yes, without question. But, with the way things have been going today, who knows. I think he will though.
if he gets cut
Birdine is in
"I finished the game. In my mind, if I finished the game, I can play next week." - Steve McNair RIP
I don't see...
Bryan Pride on the list. Is he safe to make the team,
"I finished the game. In my mind, if I finished the game, I can play next week." - Steve McNair RIP
What are the chances of VY getting cut?
I just increased the potential number of comments on this thread to +100
"I finished the game. In my mind, if I finished the game, I can play next week." - Steve McNair RIP
So I'm guessing McCourty is safe....
I mean unless the waiver wire has a better option he looks to have made it. That would be two rookie CB as the Titans backups and one of those guys is the nickel back?
I think Patrick Ramsey and Rodney Furgeson are the next to go

Perhaps
they have been secretly training our rb crew at defending passes….
sorta relieved to see faggins cut, he looked pretty mediocre, but with davis getting cut as well i’m concerned we may have to press t-rac into service at corner at some point.
T-Rac
never misses tackles
Christie kicks it high and short...Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25...He dishes it back to Wycheck...He throws it across the field to Dyson...

Chris Johnson just got cut...i was worried about this ,,,it looks as though
we have gone to the Broncos school of thought…“Hey everyone lets get rid of our most talented players”
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.
-Bob
Now King will sign with the Colts and destroy you all
It's not just your perceptions that can be wrong. Even your memory is often incomplete or possibly flat out wrong.
3 more cuts. My guess
1. Chris freaking Henry
2. Patrick Ramsey
3. Dave Ball
