Tennessee Titans Daily Links: This Sunday The Mossiah Shall Appear Edition
Mike Heimerdinger spoke with the media yesterday and seemed to say Randy Moss is a natural fit in the offense we already run, so we should see big production without many adjustments to the X's and O's. I'll agree with this for a lot of the reasons I laid-out yesterday: Moss has been stuck in a roll as a deep ball specialist for teams that are dink-and-dunk down the field (except in 2007) for the last half of his career. With the Titans, he'll have all the play action and deep routes he can handle, because we don't thrive on the short game, we live by the big play right now. is he's motivated enough to run some post/corner/deep-in/deep-out routes then the sky is the limit. We don't need him to run short routes, because we do that with TE's and backs, plain and simple.
Clay Travis dubs the Titans newly acquired WR The Mossiah, and starts the clock on former Titans safety, and Travis' radio co-host, Blaine Bishop after he swore to grow a Jeff Fihser mustache if the team acquired The Mossiah. Travis also recaps the tortured history of Titans WRs in the gap between the year we passed on Moss to draft Kevin Dyson through Britt's ascension this season.
Chris Johnson could be, and should be, the happiest Titan when it comes to the arrival of Randy Moss, but Vince Young should be a close second:
Vince Young has been great overall this season with play-action passes (thank you CJ) with a 151.2 passer rating on just 29 attempts.
But since 2008, Titans wide receivers have only two more catches out of play-action that Randy Moss has by himself in the same span:
• Moss has 43 catches for 862 yards and eight touchdowns on balls that average 20.9 yards in the air.• Titans wide receivers have 45 catches for 878 yards and four touchdowns on balls that average 17.1 in the air.
Follow us through the jump for the latest on Moss and more...
I have no idea if the caterer Moss embarrassed in Minnesota is any good at cooking, but it sounds like he's pretty savy when it comes to business and promotion...
If you're like me and drafted Randy Moss for your fantasy team, then you know he's been killing your team since the first few weeks. The move to the Titans should raise his stock for sure.
Online betting service Bodog has released some over/under related to Moss' production now that he's in Nashville.
Right team, right time.
When the Titans take the field against the Redskins on November 21st, they'll be celebrating Veterans Day full tilt. That same week Marine vet. Ahmard Hall will lead a group of players to visit soldiers at Nashville's Veteran's Hospital.
The bye week is a good chance to glance at this year's most notable draft prospects, and Wes Bunting has a list of guys you'd be wise to not hype-up if you haven't heard anything about them since April, when they were the kings of the returning NFL Draft prospects...
Titan Sized takes a look at Rennie Curran, who will be seeing more playing time now that Jamie Winborn has been put on IR.

i was gonna ask when we ever throw a PA pass after your first paragraph
but then you answered it with your 3rd – rarely. hopefully moss gets us to open up a bit more, and not just passing the ball more cause we have been doing that, but with running some more PA stuff, screens to his opposite side, etc etc
In all honesty
I they really limited the play action passes with VY sometimes because it’s tricky for any QB to make reads, take the snap, turn his back on the D, then make the snap read when he wheels back around after the fake. As a result, probably half of those PA passes are on roll-out bootlegs where he only has 1-2 routes that are really going to be there.

"What if I was Peyton Manning?"- CJ to the ref after they picked up a personal foul flag for a late hit on him.
And I'm thinking Heywood Jeffries, too.

Don't think he will be wearing an Oilers Jersey

but if he were....
we’d have to also mention the one and only billy “white shoes” johnson. i think in homage randy should wear black shos (since titans wear white already) and be dubbed randy “black shoes” moss

There don't seem to be many stand-out QB prospects for the upcoming draft
Other than Kellen Moore and Andrew Luck, all the QBs that were being hyped up in pre-season have really underwhelmed.
We might have a draft where only 1 QB goes in the first round.
Go Titans! Go Magic!
"Hey, Becky... I got f***in Snapples"
If Vince keeps carrying players like that it could put a lot of strain on his injured ankle...
oh wait
I'm no super-genius... or are I?
Concerning the picture above
Now that’s how you show your RB how much you appreciate him. Question is…..will he be carrying Moss on his back anytime in the near furture?
