Please, please please let Colin McCarthy make some plays at MLB on Sunday. I would be so thrilled if he managed to unseat Ruud, who looks like he could miss Sunday's game with a groin injury.

 Mel Kiper tabs Akeem Ayers as a rookie who could have a breakout second half to the season. He hasn't had a lot of breakdowns, but he hasn't made plays on the level we all expected either. Improved play from Ayers could help get this defense out of the gutter it's been wallowing in for far too long now.

 Donnie Avery is still looking for his first catch as a Titan, and it very well could come on Sunday as Hawkins and Washington suffer through injuries. A few big plays from Avery could give the passing game the breath of fresh air we need if we're going to salvage anything out of this season.

 Just to be sure, Mike Munchak made it clear that he has no interest in the (essentially) vacant coaching position at his alma mater, Penn State.

 Looks like Wyatt is putting on the charm for Munch...

 Are the Colts more likely to go 0-16, or the Packers go 16-0?

Former Titan Rennie Curran has changed his representation, and is apparently working out for NFL teams.
