Tennessee Titans Daily Links: Step Anywhere But Down Edition

If you’re going to make a list of 5 Titans who need to step up, Jerry Gray and Michael Griffin sure as hell better be on the top of that list…

Congrats to Chris Johnson and the offensive line on putting together a good enough effort on Sunday to win CJ the AFC Offensive Player of the Week award. Now lets do it again!

The Titans finally filled the roster spot that opened up when Zac Diles hit the IR by signing a linebacker whose name is familiar in the AFC South: Xavier Adibi. Drafted in the 4^th round by the Texans, and coached by current Titans LB coach Frank Bush, Adibi was a stud linebacker at Virginia Tech who never really established himself as a reliable starter in the NFL. Adibi was in camp with the Bears this year, but failed to make the final cut despite a great performance in the preseason finale.

As Jimmy noted on MCM Radio last night, the Titans released WR Vidal Hazelton from the practice squad and signed rookie Center from U of Miami (FLA), Tyler Horn.

Jason McCourty is the Titans’ new NFLPA representative, replacing Jake Scott, who had held the spot since Kevin Mawae was not invited back to the team.

As the trade deadline draws near, we’re left wondering why they even have a trading period during the season since nobody ever uses it anymore.

Former Titans undrafted free agent signee DJ Woods (best remembered for his awful bright green neck tattoo and a bad fumble on a kick return against the Cardinals this preseason) is close to catching on with the BC Lions of the CFL.
