Vikings vs. Titans Bullet Point Recap

PrintAfter the jump I have posted some of my thoughts while watching the game. I thought overall it was a pretty good first outing for the new staff. I am really excited about this rookie class. A lot of guys making some big plays.
- Lavelle Hawkins with a couple of much needed catches
- Jamie Harper needs to hit the hole. He is a big, punishing guy, but tonight he was running the ball timidly, and I am with Eddie, he can't step out of bounds on the run up the sideline.
- Jason McCourty looked good on the deep ball to Bernard Berrian. He ran step for step with him and broke up the pass.
- Troy Kropog didn't do anything to help himself with the whiff that allowed Jake Locker to get hit in the mouth.
- Jared Cook looked really good tonight. If he plays well this year it is really going to make Jeff Fisher and Mike Heimerdinger look like fools for not finding ways to get him on the field last year.
- Nice play by my boy Jurrell Casey with the forced fumble. We have two rookies on this defense that are going to be impact players.
- This was a preseason game and I got up and sprinted around my living room on the throw from Locker to Yamon Figurs.
- Great anticipation by Jordan Babineaux on the pick. Robert Johnson, Nick Schommer and Myron Rolle were not happy to see that.
- I am really excited about this class of rookies. Big plays tonight from Locker, Ayers, Casey and Zach Clayton.

Thought the same thing about Fisher
when I read Jimmy’s comment about Cook. I was a fan of Jeff for years and years, and I’d rather look forward with optimism rather than backwards with bitterness — but Jared has serious talent, and it was really a shame that he wasn’t utilized earlier.

start Hasselbeck
the only thing that will make Locker start is an injury to Matt or the coaching staff deciding that the only thing that will continue Locker’s development is starting. Week 1, there will still be a lot that Locker can do to develop without starting, no matter how well he plays.

the only rookie im disappointed with is.................
When asked how im so insightful in the ways of football. I tell the MCM
Ok I'm sorta drunk but here is what I thought:
1) Defense is ahead of offense
2) Defense IS NOT GOING TO SUCK THIS YEAR!!!11
3) Very, very few penalites. Wow, this is a nice change
4) I’m not worried about the offense. Had a couple of miscues, but shit Hasselbeck had what, a week of practice? I’ll start worrying if they do that shit in the 3rd or 4th preseason game
5) Hasselbeck != Collins. Please tell me the last time you saw Collins run a rollout
6) I was surprised in how early they pulled Ringer. Expected to see much more carries from him (HOLD ON TO THE BALL RINGER!!!1 WTF)
7) Locker = straight up legit. What’d Wyatt tweet? His passer rating was >140? (Yes, I’m aware of my sig, but still)
8) KLUG!!!!11
9) Agree w/Jimmy and Eddie, Harper needs to turn up field
10) Rusty is not good
11) TITANS ARE BACK BITCHES!!!!11
I’m sure there is more, but I’ll remember those later. Was great to see the Titans in action again, and not be miserably disappointed. I had a bad feeling last year after watching the preseason. Not this year! Wooooooot!!!11

We were a bottom ten team last year because
What was left of the QB-Coach chemistry on the Titans was disrupted, which made the entire locker room chemistry fall apart.
We lost Bulluck, the defensive leader on the Titans team. The QB is the leader of the offense: We had total instability at the QB spot for an entire half of the year last year. Remember, before then, we went 5-2, including an impressive win against the Cowboys and Jags. Not to mention Jeff Fisher’s coaching decisions weren’t the best (Punting on 4 and 1 with the game and post-season on the line against the Colts; Not putting Britt and Moss on the field at the same time, etc.) Not to mention our defense relied heavily on the effectiveness of our offense, so once our offense starting flailing around, our defense began failing fast.
Last year was a disaster, plain and simple. That’s why Bud Adams and company had to start over. The team blew up. Now it’s a new beginning.
If this team can make up for the lost off-season and gel together, then I’d say we won’t be a bottom ten team this year.

our best receiver is injury prone, we’re playing the AFC North, the NFC South, and the Colts twice, and perhaps most importantly, we have an aging and mediocre quarterback as the starter who was brought in to teach Jake Locker how to play.

Locker, Ayers, Klugf, Casey, and Clayton all played very well.
I only saw 2 passes from Locker that were really inaccurate, and one of them was snared by Cook.
Our defense looked very good, albeit in a preseason game. Our offense had a nice tempo and rhythm to it.
Overall it’s the kind of preseason performance you want to see. I’m not ready to say playoffs yet, but i think we aren’t going to be a train wreck like last year.

The Cook throw was nice
Maybe a little high, but I wonder if they don’t aim to throw him the ball high, in order to take advantage of his height. The Mariani throw seemed to be sort of a miscommunication. Either that or it was REALLY FAR OFF. Locker threw where Mariani would be on an out, and Mariani turned in.

It was a throw that sailed on him, Cook had to use all of his vertical for that one.
There’s throwing high and then theres that, imo, but i could be mistaken. I think 2 inaccurate passes out of him is much less than everyone is expecting, considering thats his apparent Achilles heel. His mechanics seemed very solid, and he is definitely money of the right roll out.

Taking note of Locker's accuracy in this game
is not blind optimism.
So I don’t see why you brought this up in a discussion with Bonzos.
You didn’t see Carlostable’s declaration that this was the beginning of a dynasty earlier, did you?

But Fisher ran crazy stuff in the preseason, too.
That said, I’m absolutely thrilled with what I saw from both sides of the ball today.
"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!"

im am impressed with the titans performance tonight but the best part was...
NO INJURIES!!! that i know of anyways. klug showed that he is the real deal and ill be pissed if he gets cut over someone like haye. gage showed how badly he wants to get cut and lavelle showed how much he wanted to stay with this team. mariani was surprisingly average of course he was never fully open. i will also be pissed if babineaux gets cut over hope. and hasselbeck and locker both looked good enough to be starters. is it also possible for yamon figurs to make the cut? i doubt it, but that td catch was nice, he torched the d on that one.
Klug is not getting cut
Switch Britt w/Gage and he would have caught that Hasselbeck throw.

nah but I hear they want Pudge so they can do it all over again.
what in the name of fuck is efficient about batting a guy with an OBP of .340 on a legitimate contender or refusing to switch positions despite killing the team’s defense by staying at a prime defensive position? how in god’s name is he one of the best infielders of his generation when every metric in the book tells us that he sucks?
I’ll admit, Derek Jeter used to be a very good hitter, I have no problem owning up to that fact, but to say that he was better than A-Rod or Ripken or Wagner or Yount would be flat out wrong.

sorry, batting a guy with a .340 OBP as a LEADOFF man on a contender? why not Gardner? why not Granderson? there is no shortage of better alternatives on that team.

Seriously?
Did you watch sportscenter from the beginning? The Titans highlights were the second shown after Browns/Packers. You’re really grasping at straws to find a way to be angry at ESPN.
I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
I didn't watch SportsCenter from the beginning.
And I’ve been angry at ESPN since they agreed to launch ‘The Decision’ and became the full-time LeBron network for basketball. Before then, it was only a mild annoyance because of their blatant Favre-Manning favoritism.

That’s the only replay i’ve been able to see. And I’m telling you, Locker is the only qb the Titans have ever had that can make that throw on a rope. Not Mcnair, Neil O, Volek, Vunce, Collins could make that throw in that fashion. It was pretty awesome and I hope the kid keeps up the great work.
