Old white men will now tell Kenny Britt who his friends should be

January 21st, 2010 by Rogersworthe | 2 Comments | Filed in Media Failures

Yesterday Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean wrote this blog post about how Kenny Britt’s company is worth questioning because he bailed a friend out of jail.  This is one of my pet peeves in sports. For College and NFL Football it is almost always old white men telling young black men how to live their lives. This has the same feeling to me.

Kenny Britt did nothing wrong, which Wyatt even points out. Britt also wasn’t there when the crime was committed. All he did was bail a friend out of jail. Yes, the friend is charged with some serious crimes, but friends are friends and Kenny Britt has the money. Let’s avoid invading his privacy and let him choose to use his money and lead his life however he wants to within the confines of the law. This is a ridiculous story and ridiculous advice from people who don’t know his relationship with the man in question and how Kenny Britt grew up. It’s asinine.

Posse Review: Titans vs. Cardinals Week 12

November 30th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | 1 Comment | Filed in Posse Review

Oh. My. Gosh.

What a finish. That was easily the most exciting game I have ever attended live. This picture of the catch alone gets my adrenaline pumping:

I still cant believe this play happened!!

I still can't believe this play happened!!

Alright, so let’s review this game.

Reasons why the Titans Won

  • Defense: The defense didn’t play amazingly well. However, they still held a team known for putting up a lot of points to 17. It was Matt Leinart playing QB, but regardless, the Cardinals Wide Receivers are the best in the NFL and that has been the weak point of the Titans all year. Chuck Cecil adjusted by dialing up pressure when he had to. Also, Cecil knew that with Leinart the Cardinals were likely to try short and intermediate passing plays all day, so he had the coverage jump these routes a little more frequently than he could have against Kurt Warner. It was a gamble that payed off on several key 3rd downs.
  • Chris Johnson as usual: What else can be said? 18 carries for 154 yards and a touchdown. 8.5 Yards Per Carry. He continues to impress. On top of it, people are talking about how the Cardinals “limited” him, and yet he had the best yardage day for a Runningback this weekend again.
  • Vince Young turning into a true Franchise QB: So a team, despite Johnson’s gaudy numbers, found a way to force the Titans to throw way more often than they normally like to. 43 times to be exact. And so how did Vince react? 27 of 43, 387 yards and 1 TD with 0 Interceptions. And that is against a legitimate Defense. What a game from Vince. Will obviously discuss more on the post evaluating his play tomorrow, but for now, all I can say is Bravo. I’m in. He’s a franchise QB.
  • Kenny Britt: He has the potential to be the best Wide Receiver since the arrival of the Titans to Nashville. He has the sure hands that Derrick Mason did, but he is a much, much bigger big play threat and he knows how to find the weak spot in a zone and get open. That’s an underrated skill, especially for a rookie to have.

Posse Preview Week 10: Titans vs. Bills

November 13th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | 1 Comment | Filed in Posse Preview

I am extremely confident in a win for this game. I know, I know you never want to overlook any team in the NFL, one game at a time, blah blah blah. But I’m a fan, and I’m allowed to. So I am. I am totally overlooking the Buffalo Bills. Did you know the last time they made the playoffs was the Music City Miracle? HAHAHA. Losers. And on top of it, they have the worst run defense in the NFL and Chris Johnson is on fire right now. If someone from the future told me Chris Johnson will rush for 350 yards, I wouldn’t even blink. I’d probably respond with, “On how many carries? 16?” Then future man would respond, “You haven’t blinked in 2 straight minutes. That’s unhealthy.” And future man would have a point, but so would I. I wouldn’t be surprised by anything from Chris Johnson.

350 yards? Yeah, I can see that.

350 yards? Yeah, I can see that.

Alright, so lets preview this baby. Just a warning, I’m trying out a new format here from my normal previews.

Titans Running Game vs. Bills Run Defense

  • Titans O-Line vs. Bills Front Seven: Not a contest. The Titans Offensive Line will march down upon the Bills Defensive Front Seven like (as Bill Cosby would say) all the Indians in the world running down on General Custer. It’ll be a massacre. The Bills will get so beat up that in the 4th Quarter they will just turn and run after the ball is hiked. Advantage: Titans

T-Rac’s 2009 NFL Midseason Report

November 10th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | 4 Comments | Filed in T-Rac

So, every website and their mother (websites have moms? Yes.) has NFL Power Rankings. They’re totally meaningless and are almost never accurate (if one regards the playoffs as a true test). So, knowing this, I give you the T-Rac version of Power Rankings for the halfway point of the season.

  1. New Orleans Saints (8-0): Their closest game this year has been 8 points, and that was on a late bullshit field goal. They’re my midseason favorite to win the Super Bowl, and their DEFENSE has scored more Touchdowns than the Browns Offense. The official tally: NO Defense 7 Cleveland Offense 5.
  2. Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2): They had a rough patch earlier this year, but Polamalu is back and, not surprisingly, the Defense came back with his return. On offense, Big Ben is still a top 5 QB, they have good Wide Receivers, and their Offensive Line is improved. When you add Rashard Mendenhall and a good running game to that offense then I think they’re better than any team in the AFC. The Colts sure as hell wouldn’t beat them right now.
  3. Indianapolis Colts (8-0): They’re good. Peyton Manning is great. However, they keep just barely getting by teams that the Saints would be blowing out. And as much as I hate cliches about the running game, at some point you got to have one. Also, as good as their defense has played, I don’t trust them to continue that. They’re too small to stop a team from controlling the clock against them. Heck, that’s exactly what Miami did, they just weren’t quite good enough to finish the game.
  4. New England Patriots (6-2): They’re putting it together. I hate that. They scare me.
  5. Minnesota Vikings (7-1): This is where they are. I wanted to put them lower because I am just waiting for their collapse, but there isn’t any other teams left who I would pick to beat them right now. (more…)

Posse Review: Titans vs. Jaguars Week 4

October 5th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | 2 Comments | Filed in Posse Review
One of a few bright spots was Kenny Britt stepping up

One of a few bright spots was Kenny Britt stepping up

Well, this loss was not so much a gut punch. This loss was more of a prison rape. The Titans were down 27-3 at halftime. The Titans are 1-7 in their last 8 games. 1-7. You know who is 1-7 in their last 8 games? Detroit. Who else? The Rams. Then the Titans. I have come to a painful conclusion this week. The past few weeks I kept arguing the Titans were an adjustment or two away from returning to form and smacking teams down. I was wrong. The Titans are a bad football team. The Kansas City Chiefs played teams tough last year several times. Nobody claimed they were a few adjustments away from being a playoff team. Why are they this bad after being 10-0 last year? No idea. Quarterback play is a big part of it. The loss of Haynesworth also shows how tenuously balanced top units, offense or defense, can be. Take Drew Brees out of the Saints offense and Robert Meachem is no longer a decent 3rd Receiver. Consider Nick Harper our Robert Meachem. Time to retire, Nick.

Permanent Problems

  • Quarterback: Kerry Collins has been all kinds of bad, and this game takes the cake. The interceptions were unforced. Jacksonville didn’t get any sort of world class pressure either, but there was Collins under and overthrowing everything. Is Vince Young the answer? Doubtful. But it is time to find out once and for all. Time to bench Collins.
  • Secondary: Atrocious in every way. Michael Griffin is highly overrated as a safety. He plays too wildly and gambles too much. These look good when there is a lot of pressure on the QB and he has to go with his first read and never has time to set up pump fakes and looking the safety off, but now that QBs do, it has left Michael Griffin exposed. Chris Hope, I don’t know what happened to him, but he is not the same this year. He seems a step too late everywhere on the field.
  • Mike Heimerdinger: His offensive gameplans have been a joke. This past week alone yielded 48 passes to 18 runs. That is ridiculous. He is to blame as much for the offenses failure as Kerry Collins, if not more so.

Matt “Crackman” Jones: Good or bad signing?

September 3rd, 2009 by Rogersworthe | 4 Comments | Filed in AFC South, Tennessee Titans

Whenever I have a tough decision to make, I usually go out drinking in hoping the tough decision will resolve itself with minimal effort from me. Matt Jones usually dumped his face into a mound of cocaine. However, I have heard theories that sitting down and making a pros and cons list is a good way to help you come to a resolution on these problems. So that is what I will do for the Titans. A pros and cons list on the signing of Matt Jones.

"That was amazing... I can't feel my face!!" ~Matt Jones

It's been known that cokeheads have a hard time winking while they are high.

Pros

  • He is 6′6 – That’s pretty tall. Perfect size for a possession (cringe) receiver, and it makes him a formidable Red Zone target. Which matters because last year it seemed if we didn’t run it in, we didn’t get in. With Matt Jones and Jared Cook, that really gives some dynamic Red Zone options for Kerry Collins.
  • He is a proven commodity – (more…)

Preseason Impressions

August 31st, 2009 by Rogersworthe | 3 Comments | Filed in Tennessee Titans

So we have had 3 1/2 games of preseason football to date, with one more left at Green Bay. The game against Cleveland brought some clarification to some issues we have had in previous games. However, it’s still preseason, the Detroit Lions went 4-0 in preseason last year, so all of these need to be taken with a grain of salt. But here are my thoughts so far on our preseason play:

  • Our offense is going to be good: Even when the 1st team offense struggled in the Tampa Bay and Dallas Cowboys game, you could see it forming. Justin Gage is on a new level, and Nate Washington adds a deep threat dimension that is very real and defenses fear it. This is going to open up the middle of the field for the deepest Tight End position in the league. Also, Kenny Britt as the #3 receiver is perfect for him and he will fill the role well. I am impressed with our offense. Which we will need this year because
  • Our defense will be good, but not dominant: The Defensive line will have its moments, and Jason Jones may add A LOT of what I feel is missing (which is why these should be taken with a grain of salt), but I don’t think we will dominate on the Line like in past years. Nobody commands a double team, which gives opposing offenses some flexibility in how to use their line in pass protection. Also, the more I see our non-pro bowlers in the secondary play, the worse I feel. Teams obviously see Faggins as a HUGE liability and are going right after him (he did get cut from HOUSTON for goodness sake). Fuller is good, but not as good as I was hoping he would be. And Mouton is injured and not getting any reps after showing some promise. The good thing is Tulloch looks like he is taking a step up and Fowler is no slouch as a fill-in/back up.
  • Vince Young ain’t turning the proverbial corner, so shut the fuck up about it: He sucks. He sucks trying to run. He sucks at passing. He sucks at reading defenses. He sucks at professional football. He is Tommy Frazier. The Tennessean and commenters everywhere are saying things like “Well he looked GREAT after throwing that interception for a touchdown!!! It’s important for a Quarterback to recover after errors like that!” IT’S IMPORTANT NOT TO HAVE ERRORS LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!! GET A BRAIN!!!! It’s year 4 (I kept thinking 3 for some reason earlier today on MCM) and we are trying to say things like “Well, he finally is going through his progressions!” Big. Fat. FAIL. Last night he cost us 10 to 14 points (the argument can be made that if he throws the ball away on the play he made the goalline fumble that Fisher gets the kicking team out there). 10 to 14 points is the game. You cannot give NFL teams 10 to 14 points and expect to win. PERIOD. Kerry Collins doesn’t do that. He doesn’t bring much to the table, but he doesn’t GIVE the other team 10 to 14 points, and that’s why he is the starter. Vince isn’t gonna turn it around. It’s year 4, and he looks like a rookie.
    Look, he got cursed in '08, he isn't going to recover. He sucks. He sucks BAD. Let it go.

    Look, he got cursed in '08, he isn't going to recover. He sucks. He sucks BAD. Let it go.

Top 10 Titans: Wide Receivers

June 17th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | 14 Comments | Filed in Top 10 Titans

Inspired by a discussion on Music City Miracles about Kevin Dyson being a top 10 receiver in Titans history, it got me to thinking “Who are the top 10 players in Titans history by position?” So, during the extremely boring period of after NBA finals but before training camp (also known as “baseball season” which is also known as HELL) I will be comin’ at ya with the lists of top 10 Titans of all time.

Here are the rules and guidelines: This is TITANS history so it only includes players who played in Nashville and wore a Titans jersey while here. That’s all the rules. ONTO THE LIST!!
