Tennessee Titans Daily Links: You May See A Dumpster And A Fire, But This Isn't A Dumpster Fire Edition

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Jay Glazer reported yesterday before the game that some players in the Tennessee Titans locker room where none to thrilled with the fact that Vince Young decided not to stay around and get treatments on his ankle over the bye week so that he could go to Austin for the opening of his new steakhouse. Young wasn't required by the team to stay in town, and I have serious doubts that anything other than time is really going to help his high-ankle sprain. Still, it's not a good sign that people within the locker room are talking about it to people outside of the locker room. I'm not reading too much into this story at this point, but it's worth keeping an eye on it.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Here's what Fisher said when asked about the decision to start Kerry Collins over Vince Young:

(On if Vince Young was close to be the starter today because he was feeling better)
"Yea, he was close. We wanted to give him another week, [because] we didn’t want to have any setbacks. We didn’t want to reinjure the ankle and then have the case where he was setback for another two, three, four weeks. So that was the thought going in [and] that is why we made the decision. Fortunately he came through it. He was moving around, ran around, [and] played hard. I would have to say he will probably be a little sore over the next couple of days, but he is back and ready to play."

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Looks like it's going to take a little longer for the Titans to work in Randy Moss than we hoped. The unfair part of the stats chronicling Moss' debuts with new teams is that the only time one of those debuts was a mid-season situation was with the Vikings, and we all know Brett Favre doesn't follow game plans, read defenses or try to rind open receivers. He's more of a eff-it and chuck-it type QB... that's why he's not a good football player anymore. This week Vince should have a full week to work with Moss, and I get the feeling those two will be doing the extra work outside of practice that Vince and Britt have done for the past year.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Check out last night's MCM Radio here.

Jump for more on Randy Moss and the gaping whole in the middle of this defense...

Star-divide

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Still sucks. At some point this defense is going to have to cover the middle of the field and find a way to cover a TE, even if it's by putting someone like Fuller/Hope/Verner on him and taking the hit in run defense.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Fisher said Moss was too tired for the final play, which is a stupid thing to say even if it's the truth.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Chris Johnson credited his 6.9 YPC performance to the effect Moss had on the Dolphins defense. So, at least Randy was able to help us out in some way.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 The New York Times' William Rhoden profiles Vince Young and all that he's done for Steve McNair's kids.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Kerry Collins' calf injury could prevent him from going back out there and floating terrible passes with his wrecked throwing hand. As such, expect to see the Titans reach-out to Chris Simms, though UT fans are more interested in seeing if Tyler Bray has an older brother... Patrick Ramsey was an obvious choice as well, but he's rumored to be the Dolphins first choice.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 So we dropped a bad one to the Dolphins, and it sure does still suck. That being said, I still think this is a 10-6 team, and here's how they get there:

Stomp Washington in a bounce back game, finish the sweep with Jax, sweep Houston, split with indy, and they can still drop the KC game as the remaining disappointing performance on the schedule.

Did Simms somehow outplay Rusty Smith during camp?

‘Cause at this point, I think I’d prefer to see what the rookie with the cannon-arm can do to either KC or Simms. I mean, he can AT LEAST heft up a jump ball for Moss, and that’s MORE than either of those other guys managed yesterday.

Me too.

Rusty is third on the depth chart. If he’s forced to play, I wouldn’t move Simms ahead of him. Let’s face it, our chances of winning are slim with both Simms and Smith, so you might as well play the rookie.

Let's look at it this way:

a) He’s a late-round rookie.
b) Throughout the season he’s had limited reps at practice.
c) He’d be going up against some extremely tough competition, with 5 divisional games coming up.

That is not a formula for success. Too often fans fall in love with the third stringer, thinking they’ve got the next big thing. In reality, that’s almost never the case.

I thin it's more so a case of how terribly Simms has played here when he got the chance

there’s no upside there, so at least with Smith there’s a chance of some upside, even if it’s remote.

I just wanted to illustrate to rothbard that if Smith or Simms is forced into significant playing time, this team probably won’t win many games.

but to say we autofail if he has to play is a little premature. I put no stock in draft position whatsoever. 1st round QB has a lot of total failures too. Point b I think is the only point that matters.

You really need to read carefully because you just said what I've been saying.

If forced to play a third stringer, it should be Rusty over Simms because he has potential for the future. That being said, this year if either of them get playing time this team is not going to win games.

Football Outsiders did an exhaustive regressive analysis that coorelates college football statistics to NFL success.

Leading indicators were starts and completion percentage. Rusty wasn’t impressive (relatively) in either category.

How can an opinion be wrong?

Sorry trac, you aren’t the official arbiter of truth. Forum bully doesn’t impress.

Statistics don’t prove anything except the very thing they a describing. e.g. I have a 50% completion percentage of last 100 throws. That proves exactly that. That I have 50 completed passes in the last 100 throws, and nothing more. It simply does not prove that I will continue to throw at that rate in the future. That would be numerology. Sure it may allow one to make an “educated guess” about future performance, but that’s it.

People change, learn, adapt, grow. They aren’t mechanistic robots whose future performance is locked in stone, and fully determined by the past.

Good Lord.

How does every post you have end up like this?

Your ex-post/ex ante distinction has no relevance. Mel Kiper’s opinion was still wrong “ex ante”, even though we couldn’t evaluate it at the time.

That’s the last I’ll address in this post, because this is coming dangerously close to the abstract conversations that I find myself having with my 5 year old nephew. The distinction is that his arguments tend to have purpose. Like, proving some sort of superiority by claiming that he’s the fastest 5 year old on the planet. While, you seem to just want to argue about nothing.

I'm just trying to find out

what makes an opinion wrong, since that is what I’m accused of having: wrong opinions. An opinion isn’t an argument and doesn’t attempt establish any fact beyond: I believe X to be true. It’s not a statement in regards to whether or not X is actually true.

What?

When you give an opinion “I believe X to be true,” you are NOT establishing the simple fact that you believe X to be true; that much is obvious. You are PROPOSING that X is in fact true, and if X is not true, then you are wrong. You might want to take a philosophy class.

And opinions, at least ones worth any salt, are based upon arguments. Some opinions are indeed difficult to flat disprove, but we can still evaluate their arguments to see if they are valid. For example: You argued that the passer rating was worthless and trumped up yards per attempt. This was easily shown to be clueless since ypa is included in the passer rating formula. Perhaps there are other good arguments against the passer rating, but nonetheless, that was enough to show that your opinion on this matter was pretty much worthless.

Who said I was simply stating

my opinion about the QB rating. Here is an opinion: “QB rating sucks ass”. That statement has no value besides establishing that I believe the QB rating sucks ass. Now, yeah, I went on to argue the why, and there you can of course say I am wrong on the facts and such.

If you can remember correctly, I have already conceded to you the zinger of “oooo ypa is the same”. Not sure what you gain by trying it again.

As for my opinion being worthless. Sure it’s worthless to you, as is yours to me. So what? There is no objective determination of the “worth” of opinions. Value it if you want, or not. Who cares? No skin off my back.

I don't know about the chances of winning one way or the other. But...

They cut Blount and have carried Smith on the roster all year. They should play him at #3 if he’s gonna be the #3.

Fisher start Kerry over Vince yesterday

was a perfect example of Fisher logic, ie : trying not to lose (Vince MIGHT re-injure his ankle) rather than playing to win (playing the best QB).

You may be on to something here.

Before the game I was in favour of playing KC, because I didn’t want to risk injury to VY. After watching the game, one player looked more injured than the other, and it sure wasn’t the guy that came off the bench.

Whatever

he did, it worked. He was moving around in a way that was the most natural for him that I have seen all season. At the begenning it looked almost like he was making himself stay in the pocket and taking sacks. And when he moved, it looked stiff and awkard. These last two games he has looked comfortable moving and coming out of the pocket.

by MrHayes on Nov 15, 2010 12:16 PM CST reply actions  

This has me worried:
Jay Glazer reported yesterday before the game that some players in the Tennessee Titans locker room where none to thrilled with the fact that Vince Young decided not to stay around and get treatments on his ankle over the bye week so that he could go to Austin for the opening of his new steakhouse.

Glazer’s usually bang-on with his reporting. The fact the some in the locker room are upset with the QB is not a good sign moving forward, especially if VY misses more time due to injury. Definitely something to keep an eye on.

What I am saying

Is that the Glazer’s report looks like speculation on his part and if it is based in truth then no one in the Titans locker room should be questioning anyone else on the team. It was obvious from his play (when running, not throwing) that his ankle didn’t need an extra bye week treatment so the point is moot.
And I am definitely not apologizing for VY this week, he sucked right along with the rest of the team.
If the locker room is splintering then who is to blame? Vince for going to Austin and not getting extra treatment on his injury or Fisher for playing QB roulette every other week?

by Titan9 on Nov 15, 2010 12:53 PM CST up reply actions  

The issue is some players might be questioning VY's dedication.

I’m not saying this is truth or fact, but going off Glazer’s report, perhaps doubt is in their minds.

thats really what it is

and the only thing to worry about. do important locker room players wory about vince’s dedication. because lets be honest – its a non-story. if the team really wanted him there, they wouldve asked him, and he wouldve stayed. its not like the titans are a girlfriend and are suggesting vince stay in instead of going out with the guys, theyre his boss. theyd say ‘stay here’, and hed say ‘ok’. the only shred of intrigue is other important players opinions on teh matter

No see now we're "assuming" that Glazer is trying to create some big news.

His job is to report what he hears, not make stuff up and say it live on national TV. Given his outstanding track record of reporting news, I’d say this bears watching.

VY didn't start because Fisher thinks he can win with Collins

So, if there’s any doubt on VY’s health, then Fisher is going to sit him and play Collins.

This is a typical Fisher move…stick with the veteran instead of take a chance with a young playmaker. We saw it last year with Harper vs Hood, we saw it yesterday with Gage vs D Will / Hawk and Scaife vs Stevens / Cook.

Note that nearly half of the pass attempts yesterday went to Gage and Scaife. Yeah, we are going to win a ton of games when those guys are the primary targets.

I can only go with the information and history I have. You're right, it's not a definitive fact.

I had a comment on this in an earlier thread

But we cannot and should not automatically assume that Fisher is going with the vet over young “playmakers” because of some sort of bias. At what point do we say, hmm maybe Williams, Hawkins and Cook need to prepare themselves better to play? Maybe its on them to show the staff throughout a week of practice that they are the better players? Now obviously Fisher and Co. should get criticized heavily if they draft these guys and can’t prepare them well enough to play, but let’s not act like Hawkins and Cook are going to be the next Rice and Gates, and its just Fisher holding them back.

If

it did happen, it was handled in-house and we might not hear anything about it. If someone was dissatisfied with it, then Vince did the appopriate thing and shut him(the reporter) down. Let the players and coaches hash that out. Both of the quarterbacks got reps with the first team. It was not something that caused this loss.

FWIW, this is from Jim Wyatt's article:
When a reporter asked why he didn’t stick around Nashville to rehab his ankle during the bye week — excused by Coach Jeff Fisher, he went home to Texas for a long weekend — Young said: "Whatever information you got you have to talk to them because I don’t know what you are talking about.’’

at 5-4 you have about a 50/50 chance of making the playoffs. In 2007 we were 6-5 and 7-6 which are far worse than 5-4 and got in. Our schedule sets up nicely for a potential run, especially home at the Jags and then home on Thursday to the Colts.

Will 5-1 in the division yet be 10-6 overall

win the division? Cause I doubt 10-6 with our current 2-4 against afc opponents will win a wildcard with such teams as NYJ, BAL, PIT, NE, KC and SD all heavily competeing for their divisions and/our wild card

We also have another non-division game to go still.

We’re not out of it yet. We need to start taking care of business, and it will depend on how many and more importantly which games we drop.

If we go 5-1 in the division, we will win the south. 4-2 will win as well provided we split with Indy.

There are no easy schedules in the south and the Colts will lose games going down the stretch (next week at New England and San Diego always beats them). That is 5 losses. If we split with them that is 6 losses. Best division record the Colts can manage in that scenario is 3-3. Our 10-6 will beat theirs because of our division record.

This time next week

We wil be discussing how the Titans are back in first. Colts will lose to the Pats, Jags will lose to the Browns and down here the “tourist”(cause they only show up a few times a year)-Texans will get stomped by the Jets and more importantly we shake off this feeling on those Skins! Atleast i hope so! Go Titans!

Sad?

That looks like a good week. The kind of week that could vault the Titans to Afc South champs and a home playoff game.

About the Jay Glazer report

From Wyatt tweeter account:

Fisher said young was excused from rehab during bye weekend. No issue #titans

Still stoked about these Titans..

I’m still pumped for the season and the Titans. One game out of 1st? Randy Moss? Healthy VY? I’ll take it with 7 games to go. After 0-6 last year it’s going to take a lot more than a 2 game losing streak to bum me out. Looking forward to next week and beyond.

Good point

This time last year we were 3-6.

ehhhhhhhhh
He’s more of a eff-it and chuck-it type QB… that’s why he’s not a good football player anymore.

What the? So is that why he holds so many records or is that why his team has a losing record this year… or uhh… what do you mean? Might be the most unfair/untrue statement I’ve seen on MCM :)

maybe, all of the Above!

How to get a Fisher Moustache.( A list of directions to Moss)
1- Pull your 84 Jersey out
2- Take the Ball Deep, and Take the Top off the Defense (Don't worry, if you can't get to it, nobody can get to it).
3- Clap once.
4- Say what you wanna say.
5- Ask if you said anything stupid that day.
6- Don't Shine Shoes! or Take Ankles.
7- If they ask why and complain, Tell them "Moss This, Moss That, MossThis MossThat.
8- Tell them that you'll come out and play today, ok Moss?
9- Your are Human and you do have Emotions.
10- Remember this is gonna be a fun ride.
11- You're Home now.

TE

After seeing Scaife caugh up the ball, I’m wondering when it is time to start letting Jared Cook get some more playing time. Im a huge fan of this guy and we did trade up to get him, but havent used him at all.
