Tennessee Titans Daily Links: Less Than Formal Edition

John Glennon has a piece on the informal workouts being spearheaded by Chris Hope, Cortland Finnegan and Craig Stevens. The 'less than formal' workouts are aimed at making up for the offseason training program that was scheduled to start yesterday, but is on hold while the players and owners act like douchecanoes. Yesterday's practice consisted of just those three, but they're expecting as many as 15-20 Titans to start practicing with them at Father Ryan High School. It's worth noting that anyone who takes part in those practices is taking a bit of a risk because any injuries sustained won't be covered by the NFL's usual health insurance plan. The workouts are being guided by Franklin, TN-based trainer Scott Reall. Glennon also points out that small groups of other Titans have been working out together in various places. Auburn alum and current Titans disappointment Sen'Derrick Marks has some words of advice for, and thoughts on, Nick Fairley. Marks shared a little of what he has struggled with since being drafted, and where Fairley might struggle at first:
"A lot of guys are much older," Marks said of the veterans against whom he competes every week. "These guys are very smart. I watched Nick this past season and a lot of the things he did at Auburn probably won't happen next season. In college, it was like nobody knew how to block him.
"Up here, the majority of them are not going to shoot their hands up (and allow defensive linemen to make a move). They let you bull-rush them and then they bury you, because the majority of them are 340, 350 pounds. They're so smart with what they do."
Wes Bunting, who has been so much more insightful and thorough with his draft analysis than anyone not named Mike Mayock it's ridiculous, breaks down the draft's top prospects into tiers. This is a must read, as it probably most accurately mimics the process teams go through as they rank guys on their draft board.
Mike Brown, the ruiner owner of the Bengals, still says he isn't trading Carson Palmer, even though Marvin Lewis has been making statements about the franchise moving on at the QB position.
Sounds like pretty soon the Titans may not be the only professional football team in Tennessee:
... the UFL has had discussions about adding a sixth franchise in Chattanooga, Tenn. Former NFL veteran assistant Jim Bates and his son, Jeremy, who was offensive coordinator in Denver and Seattle in recent years, are candidates to land there, sources said.
Paul K takes a look at how the AFC South's CBs fared in the FO article I linked yesterday and found something I didn't: Alterraun Verner ended up a very solid 20th and 15th in the entire league YPC and YAC respectively.
A study that was published in the Quarterly Journal of Economics draws a connection between NFL upsets (as determined by Vegas odds at kick-off) and temporary spikes in domestic violence. The study noted that the spike can rate from 8% for a regular upset-loss to as high as 20% when the loss is to a rival. Pretty disgusting stuff if the data holds up to peer review.
PFF looks at some common misconceptions created by completion percentage, and includes more evidence that soon to be fomer-Titan Vince Young was one of the worst short-passing QBs in the game. This is why we couldn't have a screen game, folks.

Meh. That shouldn't get in the way of taking him with a top 10 pick.
The way I see it, all of his deficiencies can and will be coached out of him in the NFL. That hardly ever works, but we’ll make things different this time. Besides, did you see his pretty blonde hair and piercing blue eyes?

Cam Newton for Pres.

I’ve always thought he was going to be a good DT, just hasn’t gotten to climb out of the crowded depth chart and for some reason we keep giving Jovan Haye chances to prove his worth…

Meh, he also points out that there are different kinds of "mobility", using Manning as an example.
If we’re talking taking off and running, I’d rather not have that. Mobility is fine by me, so long as it’s not an “athletic” QB who is more inclined to run than go through reads.

'mobile in the pocket' doesn't mean Mike Vick/VY's early years
and the thing about mobile QBs scaring teams is only valid if said QB can get it done in the pocket as well.

I thought this part pretty much explains what he's searching for
The most important thing is to know where the protections are. But if you can run and extend plays, that’s better.
"You see teams now with all these exotic blitzes, if your quarterback can run, he scares the heck out of them. Because he can take off and make a big play.’’
Hopefully going the direction I thought we were at the beginning of last season…

yea
Fish would have said:
Well I think it’s important to evaluate each aspect of the game when looking at drafting a quarterback, specifically so high in the first round as where we may look to see who the best player available may be. It is critical the QB be able to make all the throws, and that he have a deep understanding of our playbook and what we want to do. It is especially important to be able to put poiints on the board. So it is safe to say there are a few guys that fit in to what we are looking for. It will come down to who is available at our draft slot and if it fits within our offensive philosophies."

I actually enjoyed the video breakdown at the end of the article
Munchak said what I expected him to say…pocket mobility is key, if you can run for 1st downs, then great but you have to at least be mobile in the pocket.
The video breakdown at the end of the article highlighted Gabbert’s lack of pocket presence…it is the thing that scares me most and what killed other “talented” guys like JP Losman and Kyle Boller. If you can’t feel the pocket, step up, and go through your progressions, then you are not going to be a good NFL QB. And, Gabbert doesn’t have that…period.
by shawneriksmith on Mar 22, 2011 3:44 PM CDT up reply actions
woo-hoo!
so has Munch unofficially eliminated Gabbert and Mallet through his interview? Me thinks that. Now me hopes we don’t take a QB til round 2 or 3.

by MarkusInSaratoga on Mar 22, 2011 4:55 PM CDT up reply actions
I don't know what Munch thinks
But, I think Mallett has good pocket mobility. He moves up in the pocket well…he is definitely not a Vick-type runner, but he has good pocket presence.
I think the QB with the best pocket awareness is probably Ricky Stanzi…he avoids the rush very well and delivers balls right before the blitzer gets to him.
Gabbert is the worst in terms of pocket awareness…
So, we’ll see…it will be an interesting draft!!

Wow, wonder who this Thorchak quote was directed at:
"First, you need to find that quarterback who can handle the ups and downs of the games. And at the line of scrimmage he can get you out of bad plays.
“Defenses are trying to do so many different things these days, so you have to have the ability to make checks at the line of scrimmage to get out of plays.

Re: Bunting
What is the point of that article other than "yay I wrote these names down and put them in arbitrary "tiers""?? He didn’t give a single reason for any player being where they are. E.g., current man crush prospect Dalton: What is his “deficiency of skill in an area that will never be overcome”? Not saying there isn’t one, but are we supposed to just magically know what it is?

Interesting you say that
From what I heard Ponder’s deep balls looked good at his pro day. Supposedly his shoulder was hurt his senior year but is healthy now.
Also, about arm strength. I heard it said that QBs in the past have improved their arm strength as they bulked up due to the harder work and strength trainers in the NFL.
Seems like getting stronger might take a year or some months but isn’t impossible to do.
Rodgers too.
Arm-strength was a big question for him coming out of college and look at him now.
I be tossin' and flossin', my style is awesome
Causin' more family feuds than Richard Dawson.
We tend to forget these guys are young 20-22 year olds
They will get stronger, especially with training and coaching.
And, I think Ponder’s arm strength was affected by him playing through injuries last year…if you look at 2009 film, then he has plenty of arm strength.

I have no college allegiance (well...Belmont excluded), but even as an impartial outsider to UT, he strikes me as an idiot.
Does he have incriminating photos of the UT chancellor to be able to still have his job after the Fulmer firing mid-season, Kiffin fiasco and aftermath, and now this? I would think most ADs would be gone after any one of those, but especially three.

However I don’t think you can blame him for Pearl (other than giving that absurd interview right before the tourney started, but this UT team was DOA) because I think UT basketball fans would take 6 tourney appearances and getting with in a free throw of the Final Four last year, no matter how rough the NCAA penalties are (and they’ll be softer now that Pearl is out).
I mean, it’s UT: their fans don’t give a damn how much their guys cheat as long as they don’t get caught!

I actually feel exactly opposite
Fulmer needed to go and the only thing I hated about the Kiffin hire was the absurd contract and buyout situation, and we should have kept Pearl until the NCAA told him he was banned for life. Tennessee basketball will not recover from this.
I think Lane Kiffin is the only coach
who I’ve ever seen get hired somewhere new for doing worse than he did at his old job.
well, not entirely true, but you get the point. he made UT’s offense a lot better but I really don’t see how a 5-15 record in the NFL warrants getting a job offer from one of the more prestigious programs in college sports, nor do I see where a 7-6 season warrants a call from a program already in the hole for multiple violations and in the middle of a dynasty hangover.

I think he would've been
he can do X’s and O’s with the best of them and the players obviously loved him. this move has set the team back probably a good five years at the least from being competitive again. with Bruce it was kind of just a matter of reloading on a steady stream of high-caliber recruits but now that he’s gone I can’t imagine any of them are going to want to touch this program with a 10 ft. pole.

Comlpetely agree.
They could have ridden that out, and Pearl can win games than most with inferior players that a lot of other guys couldn’t. Still, glad to see the road get easier for the my Vandy Peeps… that’s my new nickname for our soft-as-shit basketball team.

Stallings is where Fisher was after the Baltimore playoffs loss
The lack of tourney wins since making the Sweet 16 years ago isn’t setting well, but he’s gotten us to the point where we’re making the tournament pretty much every year. Adding to it: getting knocked out repeatedly by inferior opponents, good players like Demare Carroll and Kegan Bell defecting after one year because Stallings is too ‘abrasive’ and very unemotional teams.
He’s taking a lot of hits, but he’s no where near the hotseat. He’s still made 2 Sweet 16’s in the past 8 years and has gotten Vandy to the tournament on the regular. That’s not easy to do.

Yup
Carroll actually left after his sophomore season when his Uncle became the coach at Mizzou. Apparently Carroll’s relationship with Stallings made that one a real easy call. We could have been a berserk team if Carroll had stayed.

I thought so
Memphis had Rose and was #1 for awhile, UT knocked them off and had the #1 spot for a couple of weeks, it was a good year for the state of Tennessee.

Hope's Jersey
I like the look of that practice jersey Hope is wearing in this story – all light blue with navy outlined white numbers. Would like to see a variation of this as a game jersey…
