Is that really a big deal? Who amongst us hasn't wanted to punch Brady Quinn in the face? I actually think he should be rewarded for that.
I am good with my defensive lineman having a little bit of a nasty streak. It is necessary for a guy to be effective in the trenches.
If he does clash with coaches here, it will be interesting to see how Mike Munchak handles it. We knew what to expect from Jeff Fisher when clashes happened. He would say there was nothing to it publicly and punish behind closed doors if he thought it was necessary like he did to Jevon Kearse back in 2009 while still saying there was no punishment.
I see Munchak dealing much the same way publicly, but I expect it to be clear when he has disciplined a player. He won't play the same mind games that Fisher did.

Wish he had him earlier. May be he would have done the same to Vince.

you know Brady deserved it
I’m an early bird and a night owl. So I’m wise and I have worms.
BOOM! You've been pharmacisted!
I said this on the eariler post about him...
but I will say it again. I think I have a new man crush. Hopefully he spreads that mean streak throuhout our defense.
I wouldn´t worry about that punch.
He won´t have that opportunity here, nobody wants to start a fight with the Velociraffe!
Has anyone noticed
that the other teams blogspots are boring as shit compared to MCM? Greatest place on webearth.
I still want to punch Brady Quinn in the face
fuck that dude, I am glad this guy is on my team!

No doubt....it sounds like the D just got meaner.....
but what about the O-Line? Am I the only one that’s concerned? I’m thinking maybe Matt Light (LT)….or Olin Kreutz ©….or…..if they could get Deuce Lutui (G) to go on a diet…or put it in his contract that if he hits 400lbs. he’s on the bench….is anyone else concerned?

I am not as concerned as others are
I think a lot of the offensive line struggles was due to Amano at center and Harris at guard (and Amano getting that huge contract to begin with).
I also think a change in offensive strategy will help as well, such as not running CJ up the gut 10+ times a game.

No need to get happy over big names
Matt Light is not needed because both of the TItans starting tackles are better. Olin Kreutz is a guy I’d love to see starting at center for the Titans. We were sorely lacking at the center of the line last year and Kreutz is a strong, savvy veteran that would immediately boost the line strength and football I.Q. I understand we aren’t cutting Eugene Amano any time soon so at the least he could move back to guard and be less of a liability playing next to an actual center.
Yep. Smith has a mean streak.
Dont you remember him being the nutcracker last season? As far as clashing with coaches.. he seemed the exact opposite in KC.
after he punched Quinn in the face...
did he say “now i’m done”

Supposedly...
Cheifs fans are really heart-broken that the Titans got Smith. So we now have fans in the Seattle area and KC? I think things are looking up…
BTW long time Titans fan from Toronto here! This is my first time posting and I look forward for some intellectual Titan talk with all of you.
I don't see this whole punching thing being a problem.
Munchak will simply punch back, no? Then, when whoever he punched eventually gets up, Coach’ll dust off his Hall of Fame jacket and tell whoever he punched to sit back down and shut up. Presumably teammates will be there to help hold said individual upright.

My question is......
can he make the QB sing like Michael Jackson?

As a lifelong Chiefs fan that lives in Nashville
I’m really hating that the Chiefs didn’t manage to re-sign Smith.
But I’m pretty happy he went here, so at least I’ll still get to see the guy.
He’s a great addition to the Titans. He certainly isn’t a problem for the coaches, or at least he wasn’t in KC. If anything, he was the opposite.
Sure he’s mouthy as hell on the field, but more in a good natured, trash-talking / bullshitting kind of way. He plays hard, he’s versatile enough to fill DE / DT / NT, and he’s learned a lot under Romeo Crennel both in CLE and in KC – and Romeo’s one of the best in the business at developing D Line.
This is a solid pickup for the Titans, and I really wish we had him still in KC.
The Chiefs and I have mutually agreed on this decision and although I look forward to continuing my career, I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Kansas City.
