Tennessee Titans Morning Links: Texas Purge Edition
BREAKING NEWS: the Titans have traded Vince Young, Bo Scaife, Michael Griffin and Ahmard Hall! (editor's note: What the hell???!??!) to the Raiders for JaMarcus Russell. Seems like nobody knows what the hell is going on, but Jim Wyatt is calling it the Texas Purge because all of the players were Longhorns in college. No clear reason is given yet as to why all of the players were cut seemingly out of the middle of nowhere, but Vince Young has called a press conference and is expected to speak later this morning.
On a more serious note, Leroy Harris is locked-in as a 2010 starter, and Jim Wyatt caught up with the O-line's newest starter during OTAs. The only mystery left is if he will play left guard or center:
Munchak said if Harris starts offseason practices at left guard, that's where he'll remain. He wants Harris and the other linemen to get comfortable. Then the biggest challenge might just be playing a full NFL season for the first time.
Legendary Titans scout C.O. Bracato was at the Texas pro day to scout Sergio Kindle, among others I'm assuming. Bracato predicted Kindle to be a pass rushing specialist. Not much to do with the Titans, but Texas star and BCS Championship Game softy man of indomitable steel, machismo and grit Colt McCoy nailed his pro day workout by all accounts.

Local product and Troy-alium Levi Brown is working out for the Titans along with Central Michigan star Dan LeFevour. Brown could be just a courtesy look since local players don't count against a team's total number of allowed visits. LeFevour is a guy that I'd love to see the team take a flyer on if he tanks a few workouts and plummets to the fourth round.
Another Titans reports from the post-McCormick era at the City Paper, and look who it is: David Boclair.
PFW looks at the role lateral agility plays in the scouting process, as these days more teams value a good shuttle time than a blistering 40. THey also list the relevant measurements for hundreds of draft prospects.
Joe Jurevicius won some key motions in his case against the Browns for ruining his career. Apparently just showing his picture in Browns uniform was enough to win the sympathy of the judge, but Jurevicius's legal team had to wade through the minutia of the CBA to see if the Browns were liable of his dangerous staph infection.
Happy April Fools day, people. Send real links for consideration to mcmaugustwest@gmail.com!

My only fear on the Fisher thing is that people might get excited
it’d be like calling my mom and telling her my fiancee is pregnant: she’d be disappointed when I said April Fools, not laughing!

Tell me about it!!
I’ve already got a MOB a people who want my head on a stick for the Vols joke. But like they say"every good joke has to piss some people off" but the pregnant thing would be a bit harsh.

I'm fine with the caption b/c it is pretty funny
but I will not let you call Colt soft and get away with it. That’s complete horseshit and you know it.
Do you mind if we dance with your dates?

I can't believe Texas fans aren't livid with him quitting in the Championship game
Cause his Daddy didn’t want him to hurt his draft status.
I would be infuriated.

Fire Jeff Fisher.
Some are, but I'm in the other camp.
I believe if he could of played he would have. I don’t think he quit. He wanted to be out there. And the draft status argument never made sense to me. If he would of played hurt and had a great game his stock probably shoots up to mid-first round or even better and he probably makes a lot more money than he will now.

I changed the description just for you guys :-)

We would be were that remotely true
Seriously, please provide any evidence that shows that the reason Colt didnt play the rest of the game was due to Dad’s orders. His Dad and he were playing catch in the locker room in the 2nd quarter and he was having trouble hittting him from 7 yards away, his entire arm was dead. Here’s an experiment for you, sleep on your arm all night tonight, wake up in the morning and go out see how you fare against the Tide’s D. Longhorn fans would be wicked pissed at him if that were the case, but it isnt, and I guarantee you can’t back your ignorant statement up with any evidence.
