Keith Bulluck signs with the New York Giants

Keith Bulluck signs with Giants

The Titans clearly didn't want him, so enjoy New Jersey, Keith.

It’s time for Titans’ fans to start singing some Hall and Oates. He’s gone. He signed with the New York Giants today.

What is left to say about Keith Bulluck’s legacy? He was the team’s post Super Bowl first-round draft pick. You can get a bargain at the end of the first round or you can get Dimitrius Underwood. Bulluck played for ten seasons in Nashville and before last year’s ACL tear had missed one game in his career. He was the team’s defensive leader. Between 2002 and 2006 he had almost 700 total tackles. Don’t forget that he was Mr. Monday night as well.

There has been endless speculation about Wes Welker’s recovery from an ACL tear in January. Bulluck tore his ACL two weeks prior to that. Is he going to play in 2010? I guess the Giants think so. The Titans don’t, and I think he was gone before the injury.

Veteran leadership is in short supply on the defense. Tony Brown, Stephen Tulloch, and Chris Hope are going to have the be the guys. Will Witherspoon is a space-holder. Rennie Curran seems like the heir apparent. Just like when Vince Young signed with the team and the high-end speculation for his career would be to become another Steve McNair, we can hope that Curran becomes another Keith Bulluck. The team could use one.

Chris Johnson needs a RB coach the way Albert Pujols needs a hitting coach. Kennedy Pola, former Jaguars running back coach, took the place of Earnest Byner just a few months ago. Is Byner now on speed dial? In typical Lane Kiffin fashion, he stole Pola away to be the USC offensive coordinator, because when you have a chance to coach a disgraced college program instead of the best running back in the NFL, you do not hesitate.

Lane Kiffin would break up with a girl via text, if she’s lucky.

A Tale of Two Titans: Overheard Conversation Between Vince Young & Myron Rolle

June 14th, 2010 by Drubaru | 2 Comments | Filed in AFC South, Tennessee Titans

They were separated by 27 points on the Wonderlic test, but sometimes it takes a surprising mix of elements to create the right chemistry in a locker room.

Where the magic happens.

The following is a transcript of an actual conversation* between QB Vince Young and rookie safety Myron Rolle recorded at 7:02 a.m. on June 14, 2010 in the locker room at Baptist Sports Park’s Titan’s training facilities:

[sounds of equipment being jostled]

VY:  Hey, what’s up.

MYRON:  Vince!  How’s it going, man?

VY:  You haven’t heard?

MYRON:  Heard what?  I just got off a plane.  I was finishing up some degree requirements at Oxford.  I would of come back tomorrow, but I wanted to make it back in time to swing by the children’s hospital before little Becky goes in for more chemo.

VY:  Right.  I guess I had kind of a rough weekend.

MYRON:  Uh oh.  Let me guess.  Too many charity events?  I know how that goes.

VY:  Not exactly.

MYRON:  Oh, I know.  You’re stressing about the realignment of the Big 12.  You’re worried about how the potential loss of revenue could impact the academic integrity of the University of Texas.

VY:  Um…

MYRON:  I know how you feel.  I gave my OTA workout check to Florida State’s biology department, but I always wonder if I could of given more.  Sometimes I feel so selfish.  Do I really need a two bedroom apartment?  Do I really need to order that appetizer at dinner?

VY:  Florida State got biology?

MYRON:  Look, don’t stress.  Just think about your beautiful girlfriend that you love and your beautiful child on the way.  Think of how blessed you are.  Amen?

VY:  Yeah…

MYRON:  So, what happened this weekend, for real?

VY:  I hit a dude at a titty bar ’cause he made fun of UT.

[awkward pause]

MYRON:  Were you there to…drive an intoxicated friend home?

VY:  Naw.  I wanted to see some titties.

MYRON:  Okay.  So you just didn’t think, reached back and punched some dude because he disrespected you?

VY:  You think I’m a asshole, huh?

MYRON:  (thinks)  Actually, I think you’re exactly who I want to go into battle with.

VY:  My dog.

[They fist bump.]

VY:  You wanna come out tonight?  Me and Nate gonna cruise 2nd Ave.

MYRON:  Hell no.

[Myron jogs out of the locker room.]

VY:  Smart dude right there.

KENNY BRITT (walking by):  No, duh.  He’s a Rhode’s Scholar.

VY:  A what?

*okay, maybe the recording was a little fuzzy and I couldn’t really hear what was said, but I’m guessing this was pretty close.

Vince Young Cited in Brawl

June 14th, 2010 by Dark Magik | 2 Comments | Filed in Tennessee Titans

VY does not take kindly to people speaking ill of the Texas Longhorns. Let it be known that if you see Vince in public you must keep your Horns in an upright position. (video included)

"(Left) Hook 'em Vince"

LenDale White Released

May 28th, 2010 by zach_law | No Comments | Filed in Tennessee Titans

When the Titans traded LenDale White to the Seattle Seahawks to move up less than ten picks in the fourth and sixth rounds of this year’s draft, and they had to throw Kevin Vickerson in the deal, fans were curious. Surely White was worth more than pretty much nothing. He was a useless tequilaless player last year for the Titans, but he had a 1,000-yard season and a 15 touchdown season. Not a lot of NFL running backs have that on their resume.

Now we know. Titan fans were a little bitter when LenDale appeared to be actually working out this offseason, not just quitting hard liquor. The Seahawks released White today, and he’s allegedly facing a four-game suspension for substance abuse.

LenDale, at least don’t go all Brian Cushing on us and admit what you did.

Expect to hear rumors of the Titans re-signing White. This will most likely end the same way as the Albert Haynesworth rumors. The Titans are better off by moving on.

LenDale White is released. Insert raucous laughter.

LenDale, report directly to the bar. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.

Albert Haynesworth abandoned the stripper he impregnated (allegedly)

I am so glad the Titans didn’t resign this whiny asshole.

Will the 2010 Titans be better or worse than last year?

May 19th, 2010 by Rogersworthe | 8 Comments | Filed in Tennessee Titans

It’s the question every fan except New Orleans Saints fans are asking. Some have more realistic shots than others to hope. I find this question much more valid for us Titans fans than I do for Texans fans, who obviously peaked last year and now will come crashing to earth after a steroid induced 9-7 high.

This is obviously fan optimism here, but I think the Titans will be better in 2010 than in 2009. Here’s why:

  • Vince Young: This is the #1 reason. I think Vince will be very good this year. I expect something close to 22+ TDs and less than 10 INTs from him this year, and I don’t think that’s ridiculous. If Vince has a good year, I think 10-6 is in the bag.

    Expecting big strides from VY

  • Better Receivers: (more…)

Coach Fisher: The Most Uninteresting Coach in the World

May 18th, 2010 by Drubaru | 6 Comments | Filed in AFC South, Tennessee Titans

What is this man thinking? Is he thinking?

Cue Dos Equis commercial music.  Slow zoom in on—

Coach Fisher, pre-playoff beard.  He is sitting around a table deep in the war rooms of Baptist Sports Park, surrounded by Vince Young (bobbing his head to his iPod) and Dinger (staring disgustedly at Vince).  Coach Fisher’s face shows a man either deep in thought or completely void of thought.  It’s hard to know.

VOICE OVER:

He has held the same job for sixteen years.

He has held the same wardrobe for sixteen years.

He goes to church, but not too much.

He likes most foods.

There’s nothing that happens to him in Vegas that really needs to stay in Vegas.

He’s never the life of the party, but no one minds that he’s there.

He wins some.  He loses some.

His favorite band is U2.

He is – The Most Uninteresting Coach in the World.

Coach Fisher holds up a mug of beer.

COACH FISHER:  I don’t always drink beer…but when I do, I prefer Bud Adams.

Close-Up.

COACH FISHER:  Stay thirsty, my friends, for a Super Bowl.

Vince Young Gets a Real Agent

May 13th, 2010 by zach_law | No Comments | Filed in Tennessee Titans

I like the line at the end of the Vince Young signs with agent Tom Condon article that states “He was named to the Pro Bowl after guiding the Titans to eight wins in the final 10 games.” That sentence could also read “He was named to the Pro Bowl after eight out of the 10 quarterbacks selected ahead of him declined.”

That being said, Tom Condon works with the Mannings, and seeing how many commercials the two are in, this is a move with no downside for VY. Elisha Manning in particular has the acting chops of a young Jessica Simpson.
