PrintTennessee Titans rookie LB Colin McCarthy mentioned on Twitter earlier today that he would answer a few questions if anyone had any for him. He was nice enough to answer three of the questions that I asked him.
McCarthy is another guy that I am really excited about from this draft. He is a big LB that, as he mentions in one of his answers, can play all three linebacker positions. Jerry Gray said he wanted versatility, and he got that in McCarthy.
My questions and his answers after the jump.
What is your greatest strength as a LB?
my versatility. Being able to play all three LB positions and my passion for the game. Love to play and want to be great!
What do you think is one part of your game you will have to step up at the next level?
Footwork for sure. No false steps. Getting my pre-snap reads run pass and then read and react. Go when you know.! Get to the ball
Who was your favorite player when you were a kid?
Brian Dawkins with the Eagles

Honestly
I am really looking forward to him getting on the field. With some proper coaching our LB crew could have some great years ahead. Bring back KB – Curran, McRath, McCarthy are young and have a ton of potential :)
No love for Ayers?

Maybe when this lockout ends....
Or maybe I do....

Was this enough for him to get a little MCM Karma?
I sure hope so.
"Do the Titans have a miracle left in them in what has been a magical season to this point? If they do, they need it now. Christie kicks it high and short. Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25; he dishes it back to Wycheck; he throws it across the field to Dyson. 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, endzone...touchdown, Titans! There are no flags on the field! It's a miracle! Tennessee has pulled a miracle! A miracle for the Titans!"

Since this one picture of McCarthy has been posted several times already, I want to point out one thing
UVA only won 4 games last year, but this was one of them! He’s probably making this tackle in Matt Snyder after a 10 yard catch for a first down. Go Hoos!
Also, if you love awesome tackles you should click here for the game’s best highlight.
Go Titans! Go Magic!

Go Hokies!

Excuse me, we do too win games. 4 times last season, 3 the year before that!
You watch, though, Mike London’s taking us places.
Go Titans! Go Magic!

Sure we will. Within the next two years. Mark it down.

Yeah we also lost to Duke for the third straight time. Believe me, I know we sucked.
But things are going to change. We’re getting more in-state talent and improving, but Tech’s already gone as high as they will go. And how much longer is Frank gonna be around?
Go Titans! Go Magic!

Man you get great recruiting classes ALL the time, you can't do anything with them.
Also, as high as we can go? I guess going to a BCS bowl literally all the time is pretty high, but if we ever go undefeated one of these years we will get a shot at the title. Frank is also not near retirement as far as i know.

Oh it's not personal at all. Just having some fun
You have to admit, building a national championship trophy case when you’ve got nothing to put in it is pretty damn silly.

I think it gives a team motivation.
Pretty damn silly is thinking you have turned it around when you won 4 games last year.

I never actually watched them play, I assume they were pretty freakin’ bad last year, but they’re finally making a big push to recruit their area, the team that controls Virginia Beach and the surrounding areas is the team that will control the rivalry.

They have had good recruiting classes for YEARS.
And simply can not put it together. VT may not have won any titles but we win the ACC almost every damn year and we beat UVA as well.

this is true, but then again, it is the ACC, not exactly a conference that’s known for it’s excellent football teams, at least not on the same level as the Big Twel10, Pac 10 and SEC. VT blows UVA away in the recent past, but I’m not sleeping on them for the future.
for the record, you guys snagged a running back named J.C. Coleman who projects to be an animal at the next level, so enjoy that.

Its known for having 2 excellent football teams.
VT and Florida State. And i’ll sleep on UVA until they can show me they muster more than 6 wins with a top 5 recruiting class.
I don’t worry about VT, because our football team is actually football minded. UVA guys go there for other reasons it seems.

you’re a UVA grad? I don’t know how much you follow their recruiting, but the best player in my school’s history recently committed there, watch for Darius Jennings to be a force for you guys in a couple of years.

Current student, just finished my third year.
And yeah I follow recruiting pretty closely, so not only am I aware of Darius Jennings, but he is probably the one player in our incoming class that I am most excited about. Kid’s got serious speed and moves if his YouTube highlights are anything to go by.. can’t wait to see him on the field for us next fall!
Go Titans! Go Magic!

That's awesome... I get the feeling he'll be a good fit here
He was only rated as a 4* player by Rivals & ESPN but I have a feeling that had a lot to do with him not coming from a major talent-rich area like Florida or Texas. Everyone who follows UVa football is thrilled to have him on board.
Go Titans! Go Magic!

yeup, UVA is recruiting my area hard, the DelMarVa peninsula is going to be your main pipeline. it’s funny that that area and Pennsylvania aren’t considered talent rich yet, Don Bosco is back to back Natl. champs and threatening again this year, MD has three teams that can go toe-to-toe with anyone in GC, Dematha, (well, not so much anymore…) and my school Gilman.
as for Virginia, it’s my dream school in terms of a football/academics combo. here’s hoping…

That's great! It really is a great school for striking that balance between athletics & academics
Football & basketball had a rough patch the last few years but we’re recovering with new coaches, and across the board we’re great at other sports. Lax just won the national championship and we’re the #1 overall seed in the college baseball tourney right now, so hopefully that ends well.
I’m guessing you’ll be applying this fall?

yeah, your boy Stanwick’s got a brother in my grade, he’s got a pretty sick shot too. for lax you get Ryan Tucker from us, he put the team on his back this last year to win the ‘ship, so that’s a huge signing.
next year actually, but visits start this summer.

oh, and the state of Virginia is a beast on it’s own. Oscar Smith is going to be scary this year.
