Tennessee Titans Morning Links: Bocephus Edition

Bocephus just wrapped up his shoot for the MNF theme song, marking the 22nd year he's asked the world if they're ready for some football. No camp work for Chris Johnson means lots and lots of valuable carries and practice reps for the unproven Javon Ringer. So, at least CJ2K's absence has a little bit of an upside, because we're going to need guys like Ringer, Blount and the rest of the depth guys ready to rock if anything goes south with CJ2K. Otherwise, we're a ticking time bomb.
This week will be the last minicamp before training camp starts up at the end of next month, and Jim Wyatt says the focus us on the passing game.
So yeah, it stinks that CJ2K is going to hold-out for most, if not all, of training camp, but it could be worse: he could be missing camp because he broke his arm playing flag football like Panther's WR Steve Smith.
PFW looks at the world's least surprising divorce: the one between Big Albert and the Redskins. YOu don't have to be a psychic or a relationship counselor to tell that one was probably doomed from the start, and now the two sides are engaged in a War of the Roses-style deathspiral where the only thing that's sure is that everyone loses and everything burns.
Oh more good news on Albert: he's being sued for $2.4 million for a loan he took out AFTER he got $32 million from the Redksins. Somebody explain that one, please.
The Titans aren't the only AFC South team missing an offensive star for the moment: The Texans' Owen Daniels is skipping the beginning of mandatory mini camps.
So, the question is, just how close to death are the Jacksonville Jaguars? It's starting to sound mighty, mighty close.

If the Jags end up moving
Will they realign divisions? Or will everyone in the AFC South have to go to LA?
Ain't no time for hesitatin'
All you got to do is groove

I was just thinking the same thing
The most logical move would be realignment, considering California is so far away from the other AFC South teams. Plus if they did move to LA that is a lot of flying if they’re going to have to go to Tennessee, Indy and Houston at least once for each team.

I asked AFC south blogger Paul Kuharsky about this a few weeks ago
dont remember exactly what he told me but he said something about Kansas City or maybe St. Louis coming to the division to replace Jax
Los Angeles Jaguars?
Maybe they would pull a Bud Adams and change the name.

realingment
maybe they’ll move the L.A. Jags to the NFC West & put the Lambs in the AFC South. That would make sense.
more sensibly...
Wouldn’t it make more sense to swap the AFC West for the Chiefs? Not to mention that would give us 2 guaranteed wins every season for the foreseeable future!

hey now..
we will see this season..yall whooped us last time but we are on the rise to being a better team in the next few seasons
Ah Hank
never leave us
REAL SOVIET DAMAGE!!!!!

I got to see Hank in KC
Loved it! Great guy and hes still rowdy as hell. he was telling stories about DT in KC and he sunf MNF ! :)
More "news" from PFT
Vic’s been sounding the same alarm for the last 5 months about this being the make or break year. The news item was the scrimmage being for season tix holders only. The Jags have been on the brink in attendance terms for at least 6 years. It’s just that they’re finally doing something about it now.

C.J. and Haynesworth
whether or not C.J. has a broke arm or not doesn’t really matter. he still isn’t there. And it makes sense for Haynesworth taking out a loan. i cant stand the guy, but he is obviously trying to build credit lol.
Johnson's Absence May Be A Good Thing
The guy rushes for 2000 yards and has 50 catches, and the Titans were talking about getting him even more involved? Please … what are they trying to do, wear the guy out? Now I wouldn’t mind seeing the Titans throw some screens to the guy, but that’s about it. Johnson needs to be used LESS, not more, so he will have about 6 or 7 more good years and will have a smaller chance of injury. I know that sounds strange to the franchise that gave Eddie George all those carries in 1999 and 2000, but it needs to happen.
The Titans are giving Justin Gage $15 million, Nate Washington $25 million, Bo Scaife the franchise tender, used a #1 pick on Kenny Britt, a 2nd rounder on Jared Cook, and 3rd rounders on Lavelle Hawkins, Damian Williams and Paul Williams, plus have Javon Ringer and LeGarrette Blount as backup RBs. They need to get THOSE GUYS more touches, or go out and get some guys on offense who can contribute.
THEY GAVE GAGE & WASHINGTON a total of 40 MILLION!!!
when they won’t even be starting WRs by 2012!!!!
& they won’t even give CJ2K 30 million! Let’s pay players who suck like they are worth something to us & let’s not pay the over-rated players CRAP.
I think Bud just wants to sell out tickets. Who cares if we go to playoffs or make it to the bowl. As long as well SELL OUT TICKETS & have winning seasons BUD DOESN’T CARE….
Wake up folks!

and they might just move LA to the afc west and bring KC to the south
makes sense for everyone
rivalry...historically i guess
but I think the chiefs would just make new rivals. texans chiefs could be good. a little carover from the big12(10)

eh to us in the West the Raiders and Broncos are huge rivals it just wouldnt be the same..
I do agree it would be a good rivalry between us and the Texans though.. If they where to move to LA I dont care how it goes down as long as the West is left alone… I say move the Jags to the NFC and the move the Rams to the AFC and move them to the South. That will never happen though…
NO!
Kansas City will be a threat in 2 years (Berry & Dexter); Bring Denver so we can kick McDaniels tail every year!!!

your coach/ GM knows how to build...
I am weary of Jeff & Mike…(especially Mike whose only GM experience includes Seattle)
by titanwarrior1 on Jun 22, 2010 2:38 PM CDT up reply actions
thank you I hope your right about our team
I honestly dont know much about your GM but Ive always thought Jeff Fisher was a good coach. I am excited to see us play you this season though we both have very fast RBs and I want to see how far behind JC is from CJ
I had Charles on my FFL team last team
He could be one of the last great Power Runners. But it’s good you have Dexter & T. Jones because that shoulder is going to be a lingering problem this year when he puts his head down.
by titanwarrior1 on Jun 22, 2010 2:45 PM CDT up reply actions
yeah he actually had surgery on it this offseason
hopefully it helps him and helps his fumble problems he did have.. I think Dexter will be a big playmaker
Huge Potential 4 Dex but shhhhhhh!
You don’t want your competition blanketing him already.

SA! come to SA!
even those chances are extremely slim

I predict the next franchise will be called the
Las Vegas Storm (which should be from the Jags)
the L.A. ________ (from STL, of course)
Phoenix & Canada could use some franchises too right!
by titanwarrior1 on Jun 22, 2010 2:41 PM CDT up reply actions
Do they not?
You know of any other metro cities that needs a NFL team?
by titanwarrior1 on Jun 22, 2010 3:17 PM CDT up reply actions
No, I agree!
I think Phoenix needs a team real bad!
You know what! They could stick it in Tempe! That’s not very far away!
They could even go to the Super Bowl. Maybe play the Steelers!!!!
And since it’s so hot, they could build a stadium with a roof, and maybe where the field could be rolled outside!
WHY HAS NO ONE THOUGHT OF THIS?????

good one
Maybe i should have stated Salt Lake City, UT or Augusta, ME instead of the Cardinals ’ city. My fault AZ, their success has been so pitiful (1 year); I forgot their NFL franchise even existed.
There are some that like to kick a dead dear (G) & there are others who like to ignore the dead carcass. You could just stated CARDINALS; but no, you like to kick the dead deer!
by titanwarrior1 on Jun 22, 2010 3:35 PM CDT up reply actions
Actually, they have had plenty of success
My grandfather played on the 1947 Championship team. And also in the Championship game in ’48.
They have been good before. But so have the Lions for that matter.

Portland, OR
Pretty sure last I looked that was the largest metro area aside from LA without an NFL team.
And with the NFL’s stance on gambling there won’t be a team in Lost Wages.
itll be annoying when toronto gets a team
because when the raptors came in it became illegal to bet on the NBA, and i need to be able to gamble on the NFL every sunday. i guess thats why we have the internet.
TX already has 2 teams, sorry SA
Buloxi Badgers!
bullshit Texas is big enough
however SA isn’t the right city for an NFL team, plus there are too many Dallas fans in SA anyway so it would have a very small fan base not including the ones that came with the team. If anywhere I would say Oklahoma

Vegas
yeah, I said it. Quit being sissies and put a team in Vegas. They have more residents than Atlanta, Miami, Oakland, Kansas City, St. Louis, New Orleans, Tampa, etc. and gambling is so regulated there that the industry wouldn’t allow corruption to creep in. It’s a good TV market with no close competition. Plus, Vegas is overflowing the corporate dollars and expendable income the NFL loves.
LA is a mess when it comes to pro football, and the state is so broke they don’t need to be throwing money at yet another pro team.

Las Vegas Goodfellas…….
REAL SOVIET DAMAGE!!!!!

Thier colors could be Black & Red
Why not Las Vegas Mafia? Goodfellas doesn’t sound scary/ aggressive to those that haven’t seen the movie.
by titanwarrior1 on Jun 23, 2010 4:13 PM CDT up reply actions
Because Las Vegas Mafia is taken
The Coach is DeNiro
OC is Liotta
and DC is Pesci
