Tennessee Titans Daily Links: Brought To You By Johnson & Johnson Edition

Is Mother Nature out to get the Titans? Last year she flooded the stadium, and now she's sent a cold snap that's keeping the temperatures in Nashville in the 60's all week while the Titans prepare for a game that will take place in the humid, 90-degree heat of north Florida. I don't think it'll be a huge concern, but it'll be interesting to watch if the Titans have more issues with cramps and fatigue than the Jags suffer. The Titans are going to open the season with a backfield duo of Johnson & Johnson. CJ and Quinn Johnson are working to establish as much of a rhythm as possible while Ahmard Hall is suspended. The fact that the team spent a future draft pick on Quinn makes me wonder if he gets the chance to stick around as a short-yardage specialist or pure blocking FB once Hall's suspension is up. I don't think he's got a shot of replacing Hall, but I'm a little curious as to why we spent a pick on a rental FB when there were numerous blocking FBs cut the same day that won't cost a late pick.
Paul K catches us up-to-date on why David Garrard was jettisoned in favor of career journeyman and experienced clipboard jockey Luke McCown. If you want the real inside scoop, be sure to join us for MCM Radio tonight, when alfie from Big Cat Country will join us. PFF previews the Titans, and it's more solid work from Khaled Elsayed. I don't agree with everything here (I still say Ruud > Tully for this scheme, especially), but it's well thought out and thorough. Jim Wyatt previews the depth chart heading into the season opener. No huge surprises here, but it appears that Jason McCourty won the starting CB spot opposite Cortland Finnegan, though he should be the other outside CB when we're in the nickel. Also, Derrick Morgan will be the back up to Hayes while the former first round pick tries to get his knee right. Lions DC (and former Titans LB coach, btw) Gunther Cunningham doesn't know why we let Stephen Tulloch go. Maybe he's just so old he's confused about how to play the DVD with Tully's game tapes on it.

I think the trade for Johnson
definitely makes it a possibility that Hall will be replaced. Unless it was like a 2016 7th round pick

When do we find out what that pick was?

Isn't Hall only on a one-year deal?
Or maybe it is the last year of an expiring deal, I can’t remember.

Possibly competition for Hall as well...
like Mr. Burgundy said, he’s only signed to a 1 year deal…
Quinn Johnson sounds like a beast of a FB 6-1/ 250 pounds
as much as I love Sarge, I would be really disappointed if we dropped Johnson after Hall comes back.

I think we Franchise Hall
It’s not like Johnson fits our running back situation at the moment, we may retain him for a while and then work him in… especially if Harper pans out as our #2 in the future
Collins gave us the best chance to win ma ballz
Why would you franchise a FB?
I hate to say this cause Hall is a great guy…but FBs can be pretty easily replaced.

It's not that simple.
FB is a dying position, and increasingly difficult to find with the spread concepts at the college level. Sarge is a fantastic blocker, and an important role player in the I-formation. I suppose it’s possible that Quinn Johnson can step in and help, but Hall is one of the best in the league at what he does. He will not be easily replaced.
I am kidding.
Clearly.

I think the team likes what Quinn Johnson can do and…
… they intend to keep him on the team for a while if he plays well.
He’s young so maybe they are thinking of replacing Hall after 2011…

McCourty winning the CB spot doesn't surprise me.
He won it last year before Verner came in and made the most of his opportunity when McCourty got hurt. I’m extrapolating a little bit here, but can we consider McCourty as having “first-round talent” since his twin brother displayed it? Or is that going too far with the twin comparison? Also, he and Verner are both ultimately going to see the field plenty with the amount of nickel we’ll play, it’s a matter of semantics here with him being the starter.

Twin comparison might be a stretch
At least off the top of my head I think of Brook and Robin Lopez of the NBA. Brook is a beast for the Nets and Robin is like the tenth man in the rotation in Phoenix

Yep, I'm curious to hear his opinion.
I read back through some of his stuff and he seems to have been beating the drum for a while that Garrard was terrible and should/will be cut. I still can’t fathom how they think McCown is a better option than Garrard.

Coverage is a secondary responsibility of the MLB position.
Primary is providing run support and, in that regard, Tulloch was exceptional.

how far did that get the defense last year?
He was a tackling machine but the D was still shredded.

I'm not the biggest fan of Tulloch, but you have to give him credit on his run defense.
And the defense being “shredded” was due to a multitude of issues, it’s hardly fair to put that on Tulloch.

He's the "anti-Tulloch"...poor against the run, and solid against the pass.
IMO, the primary responsibilities of the MLB should be the main concern (tackling/run support), and coverage responsibilities should be secondary, unless you’re running some kind of Tampa 2 variant (we aren’t).
