Titans QB Matt Hasselbeck Misses Practice

by Jimmy on Dec 14, 2011 3:07 PM CST in Tennessee Titans News

Today's practice just ended, and all of the local beat guys are reporting that Matt Hasselbeck did not practice today because of the calf injury. It was pretty much expected that he would miss today's practice. The real story will be if he can get out there tomorrow or Friday. He probably will not play on Sunday against the Colts if he can't practice at least one day this week.

Mike Munchak said after practice that he expects Hasselbeck to play until he sees otherwise. It is not surprising to hear him say that because he doesn't want to give the Colts an indication of who is playing this early in the week. Munch also said that the game plan would be pretty much the same regardless of who which quarterback plays. That probably isn't true.

Jake Locker was also limited with sore ribs, but there is no way he is going to sit out with that. I guess that means that Rusty Smith handled most of the snaps in today's practice. The Colts are pretty bad this season, but are they bad enough that RUUUUUUSTTTYYY could beat them? Probably not.

OK 100% not going to happen

but how awesome/hilarious would it be if Rusty came in and won out, and then led us to the super bowl?

lol

I remember before he actually played how many of us thought he had quite a bit of potential. I guess that’s because all we had to compare him to was Vunce and Kerry.

Personally I thought he would suck.

I don't care what anyone says...

Indy’s chances of beating us with Jake @ QB are far greater than them beating us with a healthy Matt Hasselbeck under center. I’ll take the guy who got us to 7 wins over the guy who ‘almost’ won 2. Indy is hoping Jake starts, I’d be willing to bet on that….

I didn't miss a down...

Jake played really well against a defense that prepared all week to defend Matt Hasselbeck. He nearly got us the win. He played well in Atlanta too, against a defense that prepped for Hasselbeck all week. However, he didn’t seal the deal in either of those games. Hasselbeck has been an essential part of this teams success. He made big time plays to pull out close wins against Denver & Tampa Bay. He picked apart one of the best defenses in the league week 2. He got us to 7 wins with next to no running game. He is one of the only reasons we have a pulse in week 15. Matthew deserves to start if he’s healthy enough to be effective….
