Posse Review: Titans vs. Colts Week 5

October 12th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | No Comments | Filed in Posse Review

Well…. at least this loss was expected. However, it was still frustrating and very disappointing. This team is very bad and not going anywhere.

Griffin has had this view of Receivers all freaking year

Permanent Problems

  • Quarterback: I understood the loyalty to McNair back in the O’Donnell days, but I do not understand the loyalty to Collins now. He isn’t the QB of the future and he isn’t the QB of the present either. How many losses before Fisher figures the Titans have blown enough games to just play for next year?
  • Secondary: This was to be expected so I won’t say much on it. However, I still don’t understand what has happened to Michael Griffin.
  • Mike Heimerdinger: I still fail to see where he is taking this offense. Most talent ever yet way less production. He can’t seem to get in his head Lendale needs the ball more. All signs point to it. The Colts defense is fast, but has been proven to to give up big yards from punishing runningbacks who run North and South very well. THAT’S LENDALE WHITE YOU DOUCHE BAG!!!! FIGURE IT OUT!!! HOLY CRAP YOU ARE DUMB!!!!
  • Stupid play: It’s become a pattern. A bad, bad pattern. Every time the Titans get a chance to take a lead, tie a game, or even bring a game close, they get a turnover. How does this continually happen? At some point, it isn’t just bad luck anymore.

My Doghouse

  • Nobody makes my doghouse, because at this point, everything just feels like a permanent problem.
  • How the hell does Lendale not get the ball on 3rd and 1? How? HOW??? HOW!?!?!?! I WILL WATERBOARD HEIMERDINGER FOR ANSWERS IF I HAVE TO!!!!

A Few good things

  • Rob Bironas: At least he is back.

I think, as did many other Titans fans, that this game was going to be a loss after that Alge Crumpler fumble. The defense held Peyton Manning, the Titans get the ball, look crisp on offense, Collins is throwing good passes, then Crumpler fumbles and Peyton starts a few yards outside the Red Zone and does what he does there: scores a Touchdown. It killed the chances for the Titans to play downhill, run the ball, kill clock, and NOT PLAY FROM BEHIND. The Titans haven’t been able to play ahead this season due to the pass defense, but also due to untimely turnovers. At some point, when it happens over and over, it is more than luck. I don’t know what it is because it’s a different type of turnover every time. A fumble, a muffed kickoff, an Interception, muffed punt, fumble again, and probably something next week. I don’t know.  But whatever it is, the Titans need to get it under control, or winning a game will be a long time coming.

Top 10 Titans: Tight Ends

August 19th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | 2 Comments | Filed in Top 10 Titans

So here we are again with another Top 10 Titans list, and we have moved to Tight Ends. This list with hopefully be more impressive than the last two, which were Top 10 WRs and Top 10 QBs. Those are rough lists. Let’s see what we got in store for our Tight Ends.

The rules stay the same, to make the list you must have played for the Tennessee TITANS, not the Tennessee Oilers, not the Houston Oilers, and not the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This means only stats from 1999-now count. That means many of Wycheck’s best seasons do not count towards his status on this list.

  • 10. Brian “The Brain” Natkin – Mr. Natkin has the honor of being the 10th best Titan TE (shorthand for “Tight End”. Make a mental note) in history. His stats? 2 receptions for 42 yards and 0 Touchdowns. His nickname? Something he called himself so people would think he had some sort of worth on this team.

    Who doesn't remember the Brian "The Brain" Natkin era?

    Who doesn't remember the Brian "The Brain" Natkin era?

  • 9. Ben Hartsock – 18 Recs for 206 yards and 0 TDs before bolting for the big money in Atlanta. What a traitor.
  • 8. Alge Crumpler – While definitely not this low in terms of overall career, his numbers as a Tennessee Titan place him at this spot. 24 Rec 257 Yds and 1 TD doesn’t cut it for any higher. However, some of the people ahead of him on this list took several years to compile slightly better numbers. (more…)

Trading for Cutler

March 16th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | No Comments | Filed in Rest of the NFL

So, Titans fans are buzzing over this Cutler being a cry baby talk and potentially being traded. Everybody wants Cutler to be a Titan. So I decided to put together a list of the best offers we could get for Cutler. Any additional recommendations are welcome.

1) LenDale White for Jay Cutler – Lenwhale works out in Denver, Cutler lives in Nashville. It makes both players lives more convenient, which is really what the NFL is all about. Conveniencing the players. Also, Denver no longer has that proven “plug any player in, including a white guy who was 3rd string at Arkansas and they can be a pro bowler” system so they will need a proven commodity in Lenwhale. I mean, he is a great goalline back, and has great break away speed. Just ask Kansas City.

2) Vincent Fuller for Jay Cutler – Well, D’r'e B’l'y (I forget where the apostrophe goes so I covered all my bases) retired or something, so they need a guy to replace him, and Vincent Fuller will get burned about half as often as D’r'e B’l'y. In fact, B’l'y gave up 38 touchdowns last year, so if Fuller cuts that in half to 19, then Chris Simms throws 17 TDs for the Broncos, thats a net over Cutler and B’l'y’s combined stats (24 TDs thrown to 38 TDs given up for -14 TDs) of 12 TDs, as the Simms-B’l'y combo is good for -2. It’s a win-win!

3) The Rights to Redskins Compensatory Picks for Jay Cutler – We all know we are going to get some picks from the moronic Redskins for tampering, and what do Belichek disciples treasure most in this world? Draft picks. Who knows, maybe another “Tom Brady” is waiting in the wings in the 6th Round? OR a Matt Cassell, which is who McDaniels wanted anyway. How lucky for him this worked out.

4) Alge Crumpler for Jay Cutler – The AFC West may suck ass, but they have some awesome Tight Ends in Tony Gonzalez and Antonio Gates. In this Nuclear Arms Race for super-athletic top Tight Ends going on in the AFC West, Alge Crumpler fits in perfectly (he’s a workout monster!!!!) and puts Denver on the map. Competing in the Tight Ends Race brings Denver back to respectability, and a young, talented, franchise QB is a worthy price to pay.

and finally, the best trade, a complete win-win-win-win on all sides for the Titans and Broncos and players involved is:

5) Vince Young for Jay Cutler – This trade brings Dever a QB who is young and talented like Jay Cutler, but doesn’t have the emotional issues. Since arriving in Tennessee, Vince Young has been a paragon of leadership, acting like a heady veteran of 10 years since Day 1. Cutler, however, has been a mal-content and a whiner. McDaniels, a very young coach, needs a leader like Vince Young to help solidify his locker room here at his first job. Jeff Fisher, however, is more settled and can take the time to develop Cutler into a top notch human being as well as a top notch QB, just like he did with Vince Young. This trade absolutely makes the most sense out of any of the very reasonable trades presented here. Now lets go get Jay Cutler!

The Titans cost Peyton $22,500

February 9th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | 1 Comment | Filed in Rest of the NFL

Well our chokefest as a franchise continued on into the Pro Bowl.

Kerry Collins decided to turn the ball over twice in the 3rd Quarter, while Cortland Finnegan did nothing to hold back Larry Fitzgerald from destroying the world. It really sucks to think the last game we actually won, or better put didn’t completely shit our pants in, was against the Superbowl champs in Week 16. Since then we played Vince Young against Indy (guaranteed loss) and Lenwhale ruined my life against Baltimore, then our top players cost the rest of the AFC, including Tennessee Demi-God Peyton Manning $22,500.

Manning was quoted after the game as saying “That Irish motherfucker can’t cover Fitzgerald and they put in a geriatric redneck ahead of me and I’m out $22,500? Fuck that. I want my money.”

Actually he wasn’t. But I bet he said it. Besides, we need more traffic here and a false quote from Manning might do the trick. We’ll at least get some more hits from Knoxville by those UT losers who have a Google alert for his name.

Of course, during the Pro Bowl they interviewed Albert Haynesworth where he said he wished to remain in Tennessee, but he’ll be gone if somebody offers him a fat contract. Which they will, as I have stated before.

Jim Wyatt, the local beat writer of the Titans for the Tennessean says he believes Haynesworth is sincere when he says he wants to remain in Tennessee. Luckily for us Titans fans, Jim Wyatt is known in the media as a living lie detector and helped design human facial recognition software along with advanced polygraphs used now in Guantanamo Bay. Also for the record, Jim also believes Raphael Palmeiro and Barry Bonds did not do steroids. Unfortunately, the judge did not recognize Mr. Wyatt’s talents and so he will not be giving testimony to Bonds’ innocence in his upcoming steroid trial.

In other random news, The National Football Post published another Mock Draft, done by Wes Bunting of NFP. We, the Titans, are listed as selecting Darrius Heyward-Bey, the WR from the University of Maryland in the 1st Round and selecting Evander Hood, the DT from Missouri in the 2nd Round. If you scroll down on the article to the comments section, there is a brilliant comment left by a user named “Sam @ T-Rac’s Posse” saying he wouldn’t be surprised if the Titans actually picked Michael Johnson, the DE from Georgia Tech. I must go on the record of saying I completely agree with this talented genius and no doubt strikingly handsome man in this assessment. We just don’t pick receivers high. I think Jeff Fisher still is hurt from the horrible way it ended with Tyrone Callico, and it’s just too much pain to try to go there again. It’s the ones you leave yourself truly vulnerable to that hurt the most.

Well, take your time Jeff. These things take time. Meanwhile our offense is suffocating to death under the weight of Alge Crumpler and Lenwhale White, and sadly they don’t run fast enough to get off, but take your time. In the meantime I think we should take a kickass Defensive End and draft some dude with 4.3 speed in the 4th Round and try to turn him into Eddie Kennison, Jr.

Oh, and it’s my birthday today. My wish is for the Titans to go undefeated, destroy Tom Brady’s other knee, and win the Super Bowl as the greatest team to ever exist in any sport ever. Go Titans.
