My intentions for the 2011 Titans


The smartest thing for us to do at the QB position is keep VY at least until his contract is up, this is to minimize paying him a lump sum of money while he plays for another team. No team is going to trade for VY when the team has already announced to release him anyway. Releasing VY is going to cost us more money than firing Jeff Fisher did. So how do you intent on bringing in good coaches and players and high draft picks through the draft if we are wasting money paying people to leave?

This is why I say keep VY as the starting QB, let Kerry Collins go because he’s not any form or fashion part of this teams future. Sign a new QB to at least start learning the play book along with whatever system the new coaching decide to bring it; then see if Jeff Fisher was really the reason VY had so many personal issues. If VY still has issues and doesn’t play well then don’t resign him the in 2011. This way we won’t have any ties left to him.

I like VY but at the same time I love my team and want them to do well, sometimes I’ve gotten very frustrated with what have went on as far as the organization goes; but when the smoke clears it all comes down to what works for this team and not what the fans want.

This is how I think our roster should look next year.

Listed starters through bottom of the roster:

QB- VY, Rusty Smith, Rookie QB (either 1st or 2nd round guy)

RB- Chris Johnson, Javon Ringer, Stafon Johnson (he’s still on the roster) along with Herb Donaldson but he can stay on practice squad.

FB- Arhmad Hall

TE- Jared Cook, Bo Scaife, Craig Stevens and maybe a Rookie TE (lower rounds)

I’m skipping O-line because that takes a lot more time to analyze (I would draft an Offensive linemen and also try to strengthen the position through free agency.)

WR- Kenny Britt, Randy Moss, Nate Washington, Damian Williams, Marc Mariani, Lavelle Hawkins (Hawkins uses by game basis)

DL- Jason Jones, Tony Brown, Sen'Derrick Marks, Jovan Haye (Unless Hayes contract is up then I would say let him go and draft a Rookie 2nd or 3th round)

DE- Derrick Morgan, Jason Babin, Jacob Ford, William Hayes, (Dave Ball if possible)

LB- Will Witherspoon, Stephen Tulloch, Gerald McRath, Tim Shaw, Colin Allred, (Then draft two LBs preferably One High and one mid round.)

 CB- Cortland Finnegan, Alteran Verner, Jason McCourty, Draft one high round CB Preferably 3rd or 4th and if possible look for another late round)

S- Michael Griffin, Chris Hope (replace him soon as possible with one of the proven younger safeties) Vincent Fuller, Nick Schommer, Robert Johnson (Hoping either Schommer or Johnson replaces Hope.)

Return Men- Marc Mariani and Yamon Figurs (Preferably they take turns on Kickoffs, but Mariani runs all punts)

Kickers remain the same.  Rob Bironas, Brett Kern  

To me this is the roster that will save us the most money, and allow us to see the potential of our new coaches. Good coaches could make this roster work!

Your gonna get alotta heat on VY, but i agree.
also

TEs, we have a TE on the practice squad: Riar Greer

Wrs, if we keep Randy we wont get a comp. pick

DTs, Haye needs to be gone

LB you wouldn’t keep bailey? What about Rennie and maybe even Patrick Trahan who could be our TE defending problems

RS: Agree, but have who returns kicks as to what side of the field the ball is kicked to

Hey Look, a One line Signature.

Putting all feelings aside about VY

This is our smartest move with the QB situation.

But as said before, you(we) are going to get a lot of heat for saying that.

Do you have something personal against me?

I notice you personally calling me out a lot. Personally, I really dislike Vince Young. Probably a bit of hate but it’ll surpass. I will always dislike him though. Trying to set personal feelings on the player aside, there is a boatload of evidence as to why I never want to see him in a Titan jersey ever again. If that makes me a hater, so be it.

Dude, hate is such a strong word

People HATE people who murder their family members.
People HATE people that rape their daughters.
People HATE people who savagely attack a mentally ill person for no reason.

I don’t think I can ever HATE a football player because he didn’t pan out on my team. (That’s redicolous.)

For you to say that there is probaly a bit of HATE there, I mean, did Vince personally do you something? Did you go up to him for an autograph and he spit on you and told you get out his face, and while you were walking away, he ran up behind you and kicked you in the ass?? I mean cmon. If he didn’t do any of those things, I don’t see how you can HATE someone.

No way VY Gone

Keeping VY will only make his head and ego bigger and then you will make the team wonder who really runs this team and who is in charge. The best thing get a QB start over get so/so veteran like Pennington,Collins or Hasselbeck somebody cheap you can get cheap for 2 yrs then start Stanzi , Ponder , McCoroy or Dalton. But use the #1 for a LB that can bring some leadership on the defense. I hope Munchak gets the job and bring in Mangini to run the D and switch to a 3/4 and can recomend a D-Line couch .

So, basically same as last year, right?
The smartest thing for us to do at the QB position is keep VY

Ugh, not starting out good here, but this was to be expected.

No team is going to trade for VY when the team has already announced to release him anyway.
You meant to say “he’s not worth the huge money and drama, and has major perception problems regarding is ability/dedication to learn a complete playbook and prepare to the level expected in the NFL”. Right?
So how do you intent on bringing in good coaches and players and high draft picks through the draft if we are wasting money paying people to leave
Bud’s perceived “stinginess”, whether accurate or not, is not related to not having the money. Any buyouts, etc are not going to affect the potential.salaries of incoming staff or players.
This is why I say keep VY as the starting QB, let Kerry Collins go because he’s not any form or fashion part of this teams future
Agree with Collins packing it in, but I think it’s already been made pretty clear that VY is in the same boat.
Sign a new QB to at least start learning the play book
Obviously, and more than one. Rusty = struggle and may be able to hold onto the 3rd spot if he’s lucky. Playbook doesn’t matter. All QBs will be learning a new one.

Now for the “meat” of your post:

— INSERT 2010 TITANS ROSTER HERE —
Not sure what to say about the roster. It took more time to type it (or copy paste) than to think about it, right?

QB: Already discussed the wrongness of this.

RB: Sure

TE: No way in hell Bo Scaife is still on this team in 2011. Most overpaid TE in the league, and given your concerns about the finances of the team…no way.

OL: Guess we skip this one because it’s not sexy, thus EAPN hasn’t told me who it should be yet.

WR: Congrats, you made a change (sort of). No Gage I agree with. I doubt the Hawk will be there either, unless of course this is another case of Fisher “not allowing him to succeed”. Randy Moss will also not be with the Titans, unless he’s the WR coach ;)

DT: I doubt Tony Brown is ever healthy enough to be a major force again. I don’t see him starting or even on the roster next year. Haye is out. Nonexistent.

DE: I would be very surprised to see Babin here next year given what has gone down. Plus he is a free agent coming off a career year. $$$ but worth it? Maybe not. Same, to agree with Ball. Sure it’s fun to yell BALL SACK!!1 but he really isn’t that great. Ford struggles at everything expect blindly rushing the QB, and even with that, not so stellar.

LB: They all were pathetic. Maybe Spoon stays. McRath may be a backup. Curran will get a shot. The other guys are special teamers so who knows.

Secondary: Same, same, same. Keep Hope??? WTF datboy?

Ugh, I’m tired of this. You know the rest. We are going to see A LOT of new faces next season @ BSP. Accept this. Embrace it. Move on.

To me this is the roster that will save us the most money, and allow us to see the potential of our new coaches. Good coaches could make this roster work!
The goal is not to save money. The Titans will spend money. Why replay 2010? It was all the coaches’ fault though, right?

Can't wait until Vince is officially cut so we can stop rehashing this.

One thing’s for sure, if after all we’ve seen from Vince you still think he’s our best option at QB then I’d agree, trying to change minds is a wast of time. Apparently you guys think that not only is the entire sports media complex, and the entire Titans management under the control of the grand Fisher conspiracy, but so is Kevin Mawae, Warren Moon, and apparently a whole host of current Titans players. But hell, what do they know?

Until you start showing solid evidence on players that don’t want VY here…. you reply is bogus! Mawae yea but Moon didn’t say that VY should be released or cut! You must did not grasp the concept of my post! The purpose was to keep as many players as we can and strengthen through the draft! Wasting money cutting people does not help our team! Honor the contracts and if they don’t show promise then don’t resign them! Too easy! Whether you know it or not this team enjoys playing together and with new coaching staff they could show promise in 2011 give the guys a season without JF choking the life out of them! We are still drafting in new players and that will strengthen whatever positions that don’t prove themselves including VY at QB. Hell if he can’t prove himself under a new QB then he’s gone in 2013! Regardless of how people feel about VY this is a scenario that will be thrown out there!

Simple Reply!

Keeping VY will only make his head and ego bigger and then you will make the team wonder who really runs this team and who is in charge. The best thing get a QB start over get so/so veteran like Pennington,Collins or Hasselbeck somebody cheap you can get cheap for 2 yrs then start Stanzi , Ponder , McCoroy or Dalton.
Seems here you will say anything to try and make VY look like the bad guy. For one all the things VY went through was with the old coach and everyone knows that not every coach has the same effect on players. So with that being said I believe that your comment does not support your opinion. As far as all of VYs personal issues and things that went on with JF, no one will truly know unless they were in the middle of the situation. With that being said there are many that take VYs side and many that take JF side. It’s obvious that when you have coaches within the situation saying that it wasn’t all on VY then that has to amount to something. But that’s a whole other ball game there and if you have followed the entire VY situation then you should know who said what and who supports who as far as all that goes.
Why would you waste time and money bringing in another broke arm QB to throw into the starting role, and allow him to under throw passes to our elite wide outs? I admit VY made some messed up decisions off the field, but his on field decision making skills have improved extremely. Look at Big Ben for example, he has a tone of SERIOUS off field issues and yet the only thing that has kept him from starting was suspension. That is how you support your player for his on the field performance, and on the field performance is what matters in football, especially when the player has not broken any laws!
No team is going to trade for VY when the team has already announced to release him anyway.
You meant to say "he’s not worth the huge money and drama, and has major perception problems regarding is ability/dedication to learn a complete playbook and prepare to the level expected in the NFL". Right?

First off, I meant what I said. Reason why a coach won’t trade for VY is simple: Why trade for a guy and take up his old teams’ debt when they plan on letting him go anyway? If they just be patient and wait for the release they will be able to sign him for what they want to sign him for without the hassle. Just like shopping "if you can get it cheaper at Wal-mart then why over pay at K-Mart?" Same situation we are pulling on Chris Johnson, he’s a 2 elite running back but are we paying him an elite salary?
Agree with Collins packing it in, but I think it’s already been made pretty clear that VY is in the same boat.
Actually, VY was not in the same boat because Bud Adams still admitted that he wanted to keep VY. He basically put his feelings aside and tried to do what he felt was possible to keep Jeff Fisher happy. But now that Fisher is gone that changes a lot and it doesn’t take a scientist to notice that. As long as VY is still on the roster he is still an option for this team. Only time will tell.
Not sure what to say about the roster. It took more time to type it (or copy paste) than to think about it, right?
Actually I did a little of both, but considering I pretty much know the playbook as well as the back of my hand I pretty much free styled it until I got to some of the confusing names.
QB: Already discussed the wrongness of this.
Already addressed this above.
RB: Sure
Glad we agree on something.
TE: No way in hell Bo Scaife is still on this team in 2011. Most overpaid TE in the league, and given your concerns about the finances of the team…no way.
Scaife was a franchise tag, his contract can be adjusted to fit his performance considering he become #2 behind Cook!
OL: Guess we skip this one because it’s not sexy, thus EAPN hasn’t told me who it should be yet.
Actually, the O-line situation is sticky and takes time to figure those guys out considering the amount of times they were moved around this season. It’s funny you left out that I said draft a Lineman and strengthen through free agency!
WR: Congrats, you made a change (sort of). No Gage I agree with. I doubt the Hawk will be there either, unless of course this is another case of Fisher "not allowing him to succeed". Randy Moss will also not be with the Titans, unless he’s the WR coach ;)
I also kind of agree with this, but any coach with since would know that Randy Moss isn’t washed up!
DT: I doubt Tony Brown is ever healthy enough to be a major force again. I don’t see him starting or even on the roster next year. Haye is out. Nonexistent.
Brown is still a good DT that’s why I moved him to #2. We have a 4-3 defense so they would be shuffled pretty often anyway. I also admitted that Haye should be gone if his contract is up.
DE: I would be very surprised to see Babin here next year given what has gone down. Plus he is a free agent coming off a career year. $$$ but worth it? Maybe not. Same, to agree with Ball. Sure it’s fun to yell BALL SACK!!1 but he really isn’t that great. Ford struggles at everything expect blindly rushing the QB, and even with that, not so stellar.
There is no way to know if Babin will be here or not, but I do know that he is playing in the Pro Bowl and that says volumes. You think a new coach would want to let a pro bowler leave the team? Really? To me Ball doesn’t matter but I threw him in because I know a lot of fans here still love the guy plus he has been a decent back up considering the number of times he has been involved in big plays.
LB: They all were pathetic. Maybe Spoon stays. McRath may be a backup. Curran will get a shot. The other guys are special teamers so who knows.
I think a good Defensive Coordinator would strengthen this group.
Secondary: Same, same, same. Keep Hope??? WTF datboy?
Secondary, Secondary obviously you didn’t read when I said that Hope would be on the bench soon. Yes he needs to be replaced but he is still a veteran that can team the younger guys. I think his biggest down fall has been his speed and coverage skills, but that doesn’t take away the years of knowledge that he has. Hell he was pro bowl in 08 for god sakes!

It was your first point, not post

And I apologize for my rudeness.

However, I just can’t understand why people still want VY around. Is it a generational thing? Is it like, the old timers don’t like him but the youngsters do? They guy dissrepects those around him, wants out of games when he gets booed, gets hurt all of the time, can’t learn the playbook, doesn’t put in the amount of time needed as a QB, and acts like all of this is everyone else’s fault. In my opinion, his winning record is deceiving… and I don’t think this team is better off with him on the roster.

You make a point that the smartest thing to do is keep VY as our QB because we would be wasting money otherwise. Also, that wasting money this way would hurt our chances of hiring qualified coaches. I disagree with these two points. So I will state my case as thus. I say you are wasting a roster space with this guy, which is more important at this time than the money. Bud can pay it, don’t worry about that. If we keep him and he wins 9 games, then what? Re-up his contract for more money? Tell the world, “hey you can be a total crap-weisel here and we’ll reward you.” If we keep him and draft a QB to learn under his brilliant wonderlic tutilige, what is he going to learn? How to not call plays in the huddle? So now the coaching point. I can see how the interview would go. Let’s step into Bud’s office for a little listen:

Bud: “Ok, so if you want the job then you are going to have to play a crap-weisel at quarterback. We’ve designed a scaled back version of the play-book for him. There are three pass plays so it’s easy to remember. Long pass, medium pass, and short pass. Don’t worry though, he’ll only stay healthy for about 8 games. Also, if he doesn’t like you, I’m probably going to fire you. You interested?”

Bill Cowher: Doesn’t say a word, but strangles Bud Adams with a terrible towel.

you do have some valid points..

But there’s no way I’m going to believe that VY was winning NFL games without knowing the playbook, and its foolish to say something like that. It doesn’t matter how good you are your not going to beat NFL teams and read defenses without knowing something.

Every said that the Seahawks were average but they made the playoffs and beat a good saints team! Teams are teams and there is no such thing as luck in football! A lot of our loses weren’t blowouts but simply loses by margins of 3 points or so. Just like the Bills, they were losing games by few point deficits also so I wouldnt call them a bad team they just need to work on finishing games. Any team can beat you if you give them the chance, this is the NFL.

Somehow this went from an evaluation of the team back into a VY lovefest/bashing fit as usual. like I said, I will just be happy when the day comes when we are past all this.

just shows that the majority...

Only care about the Qb position. I don’t blame its one one the most important positions on the team.

When the most important positions are filled first

Why worry about a DT or LB when we need a QB, HC, DC, and position coaches?

by Tyler George Nilson on Jan 29, 2011 12:07 PM CST up reply actions  

I stated once before...

That the coachs need to get signed before any players are. And if the HC believes he can make the guys on the roster work then I’m sure thats what he will do, that does include VY! It really doesn’t matter what is said as of now but once that new HC comes in and meets the players he will then make that decision.

The coaching positions are obviously the top priority of the front office right now

The point of this post is to evaluate our needs on Roster (who’s stays, who goes, who is expendable)
I think REGARDLESS what happens on the VY front, veteran presents is a must at QB. That being said, I don’t believe any QBs in the draft are worth the 8th pick so we should focus on LB/DT/DB or best player available. Look for a QB in the second or third round or possibly look to address this in next years draft.
I would really like the Safety position address early in the draft or free agency, but now that Fisher is not here HOPEFULLY we’ll beable to pick up someone that isn’t on the downward slop of his career….

As for the other positions

I don’t see Babin coming back. I’m not so sure that it would be a good idea to bring him back anyway. I think he was a product of the Washburn system this year. If we spend big money on him now, I think we’ll be regretting it by week 4 next season.

Will Witherspoon is our only LB that should remain a starter, in my opinion. I can live with Tulloch if we have no better options, but McGrath is not starter material.

Everyone is ready to give up on Chris Hope… but I still have hope. See what I did there? For whatever reason, I still think he’s got something left in the tank.

On the offensive side of the ball… Moss can’t be resigned. Take the comp pick… 3rd round, 4th, 5th…whatever. It’s more valuable than having Moss on the sidelines at this point. Also, I would be absolutely shocked if Scaife was resigned. I’m not sure that Cook is the long term solution as our number 1 TE… he’s more of a WR/TE hybrid… but Scaife just doesn’t bring much to the table. We could use a solid C… that was evident this year. LG needs some work, but I think the tackles are fine.

Someone mentioned Tony Brown not really being an option anymore. It’s a shame cause he’s pretty good, but I think it’s true. I don’t think we should count on him playing at all next season.

If I were to put my position priorities for the offseason in a specific order, I would go like this:

1. OLB (draft)
2. C (draft)
3. QB (veteran free agent and a 2nd or 3rd rnd draft pick)
4. DT (draft or free agency… but not Haynesworth)
5. DE (draft or free agency… but not Babin)

Oh, and please please please resign Ahamd Hall.

Keep the Hope for Chris!

Everyone wants LB & or DE first. I want CB!

I am aware Babin, Tully, & Probably Scaife will be gone. If I was able to retain one player for the future; it would be #84. The idea of having the best RB (#28) & WR (#84) of all time playing at the same time (If Dinger knew how to get Randy open in space!) It would be bad for us to lose Tony Brown… Who cares about the Comp pick; we will waste it on some WR like Damian Williams anyway…..!

So keep Chris Hope and Damian Williams is no good?

Idiot.

If only vy was the type of guy who would take on the challenge of drafting a qb

But I’m guessing he’d be pissy and feel slighted rather than have a kolb/Vick thing and try to push each other

by mattd97 on Jan 30, 2011 5:19 PM CST reply actions  

WOW

I think some of you guys ate paint chips as a child. The reason people are always talking about VY is because he was a high 1st round pick it’s been 5 seasons and he still doesn’t know the whole playbook and has difficulty with his reads? That’s plain unacceptable, the NFL is changing and it’s becoming a more QB driven league than ever. If you don’t have continuity at the QB position, then your team will not succeed period. VY is clearly not our guy and we really can’t wait until 2013 to get another guy, now is the time to act while we’re in this rebuilding process. Vy does not have the skillset to take us any further than wild card at best so, lets draft/sign a guy that can. I honestly think at this point that Marc Bulger would be better for our team than VY is/was.
