Earlier in the week I wrote about this being a chance for vengeance, and at least one Titan agrees with that sentiment: Sen'Derrick Marks. Marks could be in the middle of a break-out end to the season with the loss of Tony Brown, but instead he's probably going to be hobbled thanks to a few cut blocks thrown by the Texans. Marks is ready to get some revenge on the field Sunday, and hopefully we can expect a big effort from the 2009 second round pick.
Fernando Velasco is happy to be starting, but has a sad that it came at the expense of Eugene Amano. If Velasco balls out the rest of the way, you could see Amano move back to guard next year, bumping Harris back to the bench.
Newly-signed DT Malcolm Sheppard was a beast at Arkansas last year, but hasn't gotten a chance to prove what he can do in the NFL. There's a very good chance he is active on Sunday, so hopefully he can be our payback for letting Antonio Johnson be signed off of our practice squad by the Colts. But hey, at least we kept Donnie Nickey.
Jump!
Chris Johnson was named one of the best game breakers of the 2000's by a Yahoo! contributor.
Earlier in the week it was Bo Scaife, and now Chris Johnson is hinting at a possible schism in the locker room:
"I know guys on this team are still behind him and support him."
—RB Chris Johnson on whether deposed QB Vince Young still has support in the locker room.
Darren McFarland previews Sunday's game.
While all of the focus from the outside may be on the fight between Cortland Finnegan and Andre Johnson, Finny should be focused on winning the battle before the whistle blows.
And finally, a little bulletin board material:
HOUSTON (AP)—Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub is having a little fun at the expense of teammate Andre Johnson, placing a life-size cardboard cutout of Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa from the movie "Rocky" at the receiver’s locker.

You sure do make it hard not to talk about Voldemort
This schism though is really bad for the team.
Someone needs to tell Bud that Voldemort was the villain.

That's because the players want to win and VY gives them the best chance
They probably also empathize with VY having seen how Fish treats him…

I will attempt not to bring up old arguments here, but I will say
You should go ask Kevin Mawae how he feels about our QB.

I find it hard to believe that Mawae, a former Titans leader in the locker room for several years
is the only Titans player having those thoughts.

This divided in locker room is relevant news in the world of the Titans
there for should be brought up. It’s become bigger then just what’s going on with The Nameless and Fisher.
And Mawae isn’t on the team anymore, so I don’t expect for him to know whats going on in the locker room this season, there for I don’t consider his opinion of the situation all too relevant. Me thinks he’s a little bitter for not being picked up anywho…

Yup

He is no longer on the team and is not part of the current locker room
Current players know much more about the situation than does Kevin Mawae…so I am much more interested to hear what CJ or Bo Scaife of KB18 have to say…that is up to date info based on current observations…not Kevin Mawae’s opinion from the past
I'd be more interesting in hearing the opinions of some of the well-respected Titan vets
Scaife? Nope. Britt? Nope. CJ? Ya (though I do think his opinion if fairly uneducated).

What’s uneducated about playing on the team and being in the locker room, and having your own opinion about what’s going on.
I wouldnt disregard the opinions of the two best players on the team. If strength of opinion is based on success, and not other criteria like gpa or oratory skill

They are fucking Titans all of their opinions are respected and are directly involved in the situation, as apposed to Mawae who you only agree with because it fuels your own opinion.

No I’m listening to Mawae because he played for 16 years and I think he’d know a thing or two about QBs, considering he has worked closely with several of them throughout his tenure. Seriously if you’re going to try to paint me with a large hating brush go ahead but keep it to yourself.

Also as far as Cj and britt goes, they are one of the few bright spots of the titans, and the future success of the team will depend on them, not Kevin mawae who isn’t even here. I

do we have well-respected titan vets anymore?
i thought we gave all of them dishonourable discharges
With all due respect...
Scaife is probably He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named’s closest friend on that team, and with the Texas connection is not exactly an impartial observer of events.
I would be most interested to see what someone like Michael Griffin would have to say about this. I know he played at Texas as well, but he doesn’t seem to still be stuck up in all that or running around with all the other Texas guys on the roster. Moss would also be very interesting to hear as an outsider who came in right after all that went down.
I have many leather-bound books, and my apartment smells of rich mahogany. And there's this awesome Chris Johnson Fathead over the wood paneling. Seriously, it's kind of a big deal...
by ronburgundy7427 on Dec 17, 2010 1:31 PM CST up reply actions
When Griff was asked about it all he was very much trying to dodge the question
Just saying that’s between Coach and The Nameless. I understand Scaife’s opinion doesn’t hold much water, but I think KBv2 and CJ’s are pretty important. Moss really hasn’t had a whole lot of time to work with The Nameless so I wouldn’t really take that into consideration I guess.

I didn't care for it
It seemed like it would have been a great ending if they had maybe used the time in the final season to answer some questions we all had. Instead the final season felt almost like a totally different show… I felt like I was on an Indiana Jones ride as apposed to a LOST story.

The hell with Kevin Mawae.
What he did is so chicken sh*t.
To put it into context, if a local business journal/college paper/trade journal, etc came up to you and asked for a quote about a colleague, would you throw him/her under the bus even if you disliked the guy?
No, you wouldn’t. Because, you, WTF, aren’t a douchebag. Kevin Mawae is. Period.
It’s unprofessional, regardless of his opinion of VY.
Going over the people that have had issues with VY in his career that have spoken out about it:
Keith Bulluck (2008), Jeff Fisher, and Kevin Mawae.
That group consists of some beloved Titans leaders for the past few years. Was Mawae’s comment unproffesional? Probably. But is his opinion neccessarily off-base because of that? I don’t think so.
Someone needs to tell Bud that Voldemort was the villain.
by WinnipegTitanFan13 on Dec 17, 2010 12:14 PM CST up reply actions
No doubt what he said was genuine, but he's a year removed from the organization and making statements without all the pertinent information (ie. absent from the locker room this year).
He did this knowing full well that his statements would make headlines. I just think it shows a lot about the guy’s character.
As for Bulluck, he’s tune changed as well. Though, I think that’s what you were saying with the (2008) caveat.
To elaborate.
I think there’s a hint of irony that Mawae is acting like a child, slinging mud at an old teammate, and at the same time saying that Vince needs to grow up.
I'm not supporting the way he did it.

by WinnipegTitanFan13 on Dec 17, 2010 12:26 PM CST up reply actions
I know.
I guess what I’m saying is that you should take it for what it’s worth.
What Mawae is saying is genuine in the sense that he means it, but it reeks of an opinion fueled by anger.
Would his anger not be directed at the coaching/management rather than the QB?

You missed.
He SHOULD be mad at the coaching staff. He has no reason to be mad at Vince Young. So, why is it that when he speaks of Young its fueled by anger?
Someone needs to tell Bud that Voldemort was the villain.
by WinnipegTitanFan13 on Dec 17, 2010 12:36 PM CST up reply actions
Why would he be speaking out against a coaching staff/management if he's hoping for a phone call to come back?
Or if he ever wanted another job in the NFL? I’m sure he chose what he wanted to say carefully.
InVINCEable
by StPrattrick on Dec 17, 2010 12:39 PM CST up reply actions
So his line of reasoning is
That his best chance at signing with a team like the Titans, is to call out the QB who may very well be back next year?
Someone needs to tell Bud that Voldemort was the villain.
by WinnipegTitanFan13 on Dec 17, 2010 12:44 PM CST up reply actions
No. He was in an interview and chose to call out his former QB
That was his poor choice like Superhorn said. He chose not to call out his former management (which I would guess he has some sour feelings towards, because they chose to go with a less experienced Center over him to which now he doesn’t have a job anywhere) in hopes that one day he might think he has something left over in the tank to play again. No one is going to pick up an over the hill center that’s calling out his former coaching staff + is involved in the NFLPA.

Tell me again
how calling out Young improves his chances of getting a contract with the Titans?
Someone needs to tell Bud that Voldemort was the villain.
by WinnipegTitanFan13 on Dec 17, 2010 12:55 PM CST up reply actions
Who cares how it improves his chances of getting a contract with the Titans?
I don’t even know if that’s what he’s trying to do. Why are you even running with what i’m saying when I don’t even know what his reasoning is? The Nameless is a controversial QB maybe he just wanted to get a head line. Who cares really?
InVINCEable
It may be.
I can’t really answer that question without all the pertinent information. Ie. What are his past conversations with Fisher? Were Fisher’s hands tied because of Mawae’s NFLPA involvement? Does Mawae not want to throw Fisher under the bus because he wants to play again in the NFL?
There is a laundry list of reasons Mawae wouldn’t throw the coaching staff under the bus.
But
There is not a laundry list of reasons Mawae WOULD throw Young under the bus. What would be his motive? He’s certainly not going to be back on the Titans, and that was evident before these comments- so its not like he’s using these comments to leverage into a contract. What anger is he channeling towards Young, and if the anger is there, is there a plausible reason WHY he’s speaking out? Frankly from what I know, he doesn’t have a reason to ‘get at Vince’ which makes these comments quite relevant.
Someone needs to tell Bud that Voldemort was the villain.
by WinnipegTitanFan13 on Dec 17, 2010 12:42 PM CST up reply actions
What are you getting at here?
I don’t know how this has digressed into some sort of psycho-analysis of Mawae’s motives. Whatever they were, it doesn’t change the fact that I think he should have kept his mouth shut, much like I would keep my mouth shut about former co workers I may have issue with if pressed by a local business rag.
From your above comment:
What Mawae is saying is genuine in the sense that he means it, but it reeks of an opinion fueled by anger.
Mawae’s opinion of Young cannot reek of being ‘fueled by anger’ if there is nothing to fuel the anger towards Young in the first place. He has no reason to be angry at VY, yet somehow his comments are viewed as an attempt to attack him. Therefore, it is likely his comments are not fueled by anger.

This isn't me supporting Vince.
What Vince did was wrong. None of this changes that.
Kevin Mawae is acting unprofessional AND Vince acted like a child this season.
Those two sentiments are not mutually exclusive of eachother.
But you're still not seeing my point.
Why is it that any player opposing Vince Young clearly has a personal agenda and is taking it out on Young with their comments?
At some point, you have to recognize these players may be right.

by WinnipegTitanFan13 on Dec 17, 2010 1:22 PM CST up reply actions
No doubt. I said above ( or maybe it was below) that he may be right.
I just have a hard time thinking that a former teammate would come out and say this about someone if they liked them. Do you disagree that it seems unlikely that Mawae would say this AND like Vince young?
Right
Mawae never said anything about him while we was playing with him for the past 3 years. Never said there was a problem prior to this. So why does he chose now to air the dirty laundry?
InVINCEable
I do not disagree.
However, that’s the way it is with players. See Scaife, Bo. But when Kevin Mawae’s opinion carries a lot of weight, whether you like that or not.

by WinnipegTitanFan13 on Dec 17, 2010 12:23 PM CST up reply actions
Wrong...no one hates Mawae
The argument is simply that his input in the current situation is just his opinion based on PAST experiences…we are concerned with what CURRENT players have to say on the CURRENT situation
We?
I can only speak for my self.
And, this opinion is only based on new information. How is that any different from you changing your opinion of VY based on new information you have?
My opinion of Vince Young changed as a result of several incidents this past year.
I’m not sure Kevin Mawae stating his opinion warrants such a reversal. Its not like it changed the fact that he was a leader on this team last year. I know he isn’t on the team now, but its likely that he has plenty of friends still on this roster.

Let me put it this way.
Just like you and I wouldn’t want Vince quarterbacking this team if he continues to act the way he has this year, I also don’t want a guy that’s going to throw his teammates under the bus. That’s not what leaders do.
Perhaps that's why we're hearing about this now rather than last year?
As a leader on this team last year, he kept his mouth shut.

by WinnipegTitanFan13 on Dec 17, 2010 12:34 PM CST up reply actions
OK.
Doesn’t make it much better in my eyes.
Again, no one in their right mind is going to verbally bash coworkers while at a company, and only a vendictive douchebag would throw a co worker under the bus in print after he left a company. It’s just not what successful, productive members of society do.
He has every right to do what he did. There may be some truth to it. The point I’m making here is that I’m disappointed by his actions, regardless of his history with our former quarterback.
Correct
If he didn’t care for The Nameless he would have just not commented on him, but what he did was was throw his old starting QB under the bus for no reason other then to get his name in the headlines. No one cares about what Mawae has to say anymore and why should we? If he wants to talk about the “good ol’ days” of riding CJs fame into a 2000 yard season, awesome, but what does his opinion have to do with what’s going on this season in a locker room he is not involved in?

by titansfan4ever on Dec 17, 2010 12:06 PM CST reply actions
I completely agree that Mawae shouldn't have spoken up about "you know who"...
since he doesn’t play for the Titans (or anyone else) this year. However, we don’t really KNOW how non-current his information is. It’s completely conceivable that some of the current players are still in touch with him (a former teammate and current NFLPA President) and are sharing their feelings/concerns with him on the subject. Just throwing that out there.

Regardless of feelings on Fisher and this coaching staff, the head coach is the top dog. I don’t want a locker room where the players are mouthing off and have the attitude of “We’re in charge.” That just leads to being the Bungles, Raiders and Cowboys.

There is a double standard when it comes to Young, and deals with his fans.
When somebody publicly supports him, that player is praised. When somebody publicly opposes him, that player’s view is immediately discounted.

I respect CJ and Scaife’s opinion because they are in the locker room, I don’t respect an old center that is no longer in the situation opinion because it’s not relevant to whats going on this year. I think that’s pretty easy to understand.

Scaife's opinion is biased.
You have to consider the support for him maybe be because of their friendship.
We have to realize that the locker room is just exactly like Music City Miracles
You have 4 different groups:
1. The players who want Fisher to stay and Young gone
2. The players who want Young to stay and Fisher gone
3. The players who want them both gone
4. The players who want both to stay
And I guarantee that Kevin Mawae is much more connected to that locker room than you think he is.

A veteran, probably HoF center, at that.
Centers read defenses, too. They’d likely know better than most other players if their QB made poor decisions based on their own reads of the defense.

Someone needs to tell Bud that Voldemort was the villain.

I know.
I disagree with Fisher on this. Young is a polarizing figure, and I don’t think our locker room needs to get even more split up.

^ This.
I have many leather-bound books, and my apartment smells of rich mahogany. And there's this awesome Chris Johnson Fathead over the wood paneling. Seriously, it's kind of a big deal...

I think a franchise QB should be in the locker room regardless
It is about time he showed up. That’s one thing that hasn’t sat well with me.
InVINCEable
If there really is a split in the locker room
then I’m not sure how him being there is going to help. Maybe if he brought coffee and donughts for everyone. That always brings a smile here at the office.

I'm just saying from franchise QB point of view. Assuming none of this BS wasn't going on
That he should be there. You can sure as shit bet Pey-Pey would be there even if he was on IR.
InVINCEable
Excellent point
Must be nice hanging out in Texas while your teammates are getting hammered every week.
The least he could do is show up and stand there on the sideline….or at least be in the stadium.
Official MCM Hater!
Right
Again, who knows whats going on behind the scenes, but it never sat well with me that the starting QB wasn’t there. A great QB is there in the good time and the bad regardless. <<<< That is what is going to make his team respect him.
InVINCEable
It's a shame he's still having to earn it.
You’d think for someone who just wins, he would’ve already won everyone’s respect on the team by now.
That way, he won't be the guy that had a meltdown & cussed out the coach...
he’ll be the guy that brought coffee & donuts for everyone!!

theyre saying
he was there to let the trainers look at his thumb, they said he was hugging the players and declined any comments before heading into the training room.

And it's only going to get worse.
Once the offseason hits and decisions have to be and are made…I can only imagine what’s going to be said here.
