Tennessee Titans Daily Links: Who Doesn't Want To get Better Next Season? Edition

My guess is we'll see a version of the article by John Glennon we got yesterday on Akeem Ayers for everyone from last year's draft class. Here's the Byron Stingily edition, covering the talented rookie's complete absence from the field last season as he continues to convince coaches he's a project worth investing in.
David Boclair makes the case that some, if not most, of Chris Johnson's struggles can be blamed on the absence of Vince Young. While Vince's skill-set (when he had his mind right) certainly made defenses play him in a way that was advantageous to any running back, CJ is certainly more than capable of putting together great years no matter who is in the pocket. If this mobile QB idea does help CJ as much as Boclair, and others, think it does, then that's all the more reason to start Locker next season.
There's no way the Texans are moving Matt Schaub to make room for a still-limp armed Peyton, just as there's no way Schaub sits down in the prime years of his career. This one ain't happening.
Dan McLellan says the Chargers should be targeting Jordan Babineaux.
PFF takes a look at the top veterans over the age of 30 who are headed for free agency.
Sounds like Stanford Routt's visit to Buffalo went well, but he's still scheduled to visit the Titans, Chiefs, Texans and Cowboys over the course of this week.
Wes Bunting takes a long look at Georgia Tech WR Stephen Hill, who could be the draft's biggest big-play receiver.
It's already been covered on the site, but in case you missed it, Marcus Robertson has landed with his old boss in Detroit and Chuck Cecil has reunited with Fisher in St. Louis. Interesting to note that both guys landed in positions lower than they left Nashville with...
For those of you that one guy interested in local judicial elections Jeff Fisher endorsed divorce attorney Mike Binkley for judge in Williamson County.

"Peyton is definitely interested in possibly coming to the Texans."

It doesn't matter where Peyton is Interested in UNTIL
IND releases him as under NFL rules, no team can trade a player whose contract has expired. IND will resign Peyton on the day of the deadline & still draft Luck.
The only thing worse than Peyton staying in IND is going to HOU or JAC!!!!!! I would rather him go anywhere, PIT/ BAL/ NE, anywhere else but HOU or JAC!!!

Looks like he eats people! Kinda hard to make the starting line up with 3 pairs of shoulder pads.

Why do people forget that Chris Johnston played MUCH better than he did this year in 2008 and early 2009 with Collins?

"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!

LOCKER>Hasselbeck>Vunce>Rusty Smith>collins!
Let it be know the last QB above should have NEVER been wearing our colors!
I think IND learned the same lesson last year as Dan Orlovsky performed better!
Any RB looks better with collins behind center…

I am not sure if you guys have read this, but it's an old article (October 2011) regarding Damian Williams.
http://mattwaldmanrsp.com/2011/10/03/crossing-the-divide-titans-wr-damian-williams/
It talks about how players face a “divide” when they enter the NFL between the off the field stuff and the gridiron itself, focusing on our very own, Damian Williams.
The writer mentions that Williams has all the tools to be a successful WR in the NFL. In fact, he mentioned that Williams could resemble a “Donald Driver” type of player in the NFL.
I think the writer is correct in that Damian may be suffering from over thinking the game, and this may account for some of his inconsistency. I just hope that between him, Britt, Washington and Cook, that they can give us a solid receiving corps that can threaten opposing defenses. They all have the talent to do so, but we just need to see some consistency (and for them to stay on the field). I think that the coaching staff trust all of them and this offseason will be huge for each and every one of them to show that they can definitely make a solid and consistent impact within this offense.

I think a solid off-season will cure a lot what is wrong with this team.

It is especially big for our receivers, cause they obviously have the talent, but we just need them to show up for every down.
Unlike our other position needs, like DE, OG, C, we just don’t have enough talent there.

I think a solid off-season at DE for JJ and Capt. Morgan will help them significantly.

I think a healthy offseason/season will make a world of different from Morgan.

I don't think JJ is returning, though I would love for him to come back as a DT.
by infinitystealth on Feb 14, 2012 1:16 PM CST up reply actions
Talks have already begun with him
I think we have a good chance of bringing him back.

Yeah, I just don't know how he'll fit into our scheme.
He doesn’t fit the mold of a bigger DT that Jerry Gray wants right now, which is why we had switched him to a DE spot. I think that JJ will want to start for another team rather being a situational guy, which is what we will probably use him as if he does return (like Klug). I also think that another team will throw more money to get him than us, as he was productive as a DT and a pass rusher, which is a premium in the league.
by infinitystealth on Feb 14, 2012 1:41 PM CST up reply actions
My argument to him would be: as a situational DT is where he has shown his most success
when he was a starter, he got worn down and/or injured pretty quickly.

Re:

I haven’t had a chance to watch this kid, but, in general, I think there can be some value in kids coming from Paul Johnson’s offense.
Two reasons in particular:
1. There may be a freak talent just waiting beneath the surface that hasn’t had a chance to show itself.
2. They have to be excellent blockers to start in that system.

They are almost always big play receivers too.
As Georgia tech is all about running or throwing it deep.

It may turn out that we have at least $45 million in cap space now
thanks to the new CBA rule that allows teams to rollover their unused cap space from last year.

Here's a good article on Hawkins from Mike Keith.
http://nfltitans.wordpress.com/2012/02/14/hawkins-return-is-a-win-win-for-titans-offense/
In our final production of meeting of 2010, offensive coordinator Chris Palmer praised several of the Titans’ receivers for their improvement during 2011. Palmer heaped lavish praise on Hawkins because of number 87′s improvement throughout the season.
Chris Palmer was proud of Lavelle Hawkins.
I imagine “2010” is supposed to read “2011.”
