So now that Albert is gone who are possibles for the Titans?We like him here in Tn. injuries and all - well except for the head smash (sorry Gurode) that was uncalled for.

I think Tennessee will be fine. They always draft well defensively.
Quarterback is more of an issue for the Titans than anything. They're kidding themselves if they think Collins is a viable short term fix. They need to make up their mind on Vince Young next season. Delaying it another season is only going to make things worse.
I thought I hit my lowest point as an Eagles fan after the Pats loss in the SB, then it got even lower after we lost to the Cardinals this past NFC Championship
But now, I have officially died a bit inside as an Eagles fan. Brian Dawkins is now...a BRONCO? What the hell?! He was the first Eagles jersey I ever owned (besides my old Jaws one from my dad) and now I think I'm going to have to frame it.
Wait wait wait wait. So you're a Bucs and Eagles fan? That my friend is a violation. It cannot be. The Bucs ruined the last Eagles game at the Vet. There's bad blood between Tampa and Philly. This just cannot be. If it were an AFC team and the Eagles it'd be ok. Unless it were the Steelers. That's a violation too
Wasn't an eagles fan at that point so I don't feel that "bad blood" that you speak of. I honestly started cheering for them three years ago when garcia became qb cuz I have always been a garcia fan since the 49ers. After he came to tampa I was cheering so hard for the eagles the past year I couldn't stop cheering for them. lol Oh and btw philly is way better than pittsburgh!!!!
You're right Philly is better--Its apparent by their recent playoff run as well as their surplus of super bowl rings lol

It's a sad day for Eagles fans
REALLY? I haven't heard that yet. Dude. That's a huge blow if it winds up being true. I thought the Eagles were gonna try and resign him. Lourie needs to stop being such a cheapskate. They raised ticket prices this next year so let's bring in some freakin talent already instead of trying to draft em every year.

Ugh, it's a mess in the media right now. SF Chronicle reported it, but the Denver Post said it hasn't happened yet. 610 WIP said it was false, then said it was true, now they're saying they're not sure. CSN even said it was true, and now they're saying that "perhaps" it is true. It better be false, they'd be crazy not to re-sign him
Well...it looks like the Titans are committed to mediocrity at the qb position for at least two years...they just inked Collins a two year, 15 million dollar deal. This pretty much means cutting their losses with Young and starting over at the qb position in the draft.
I don't get the media love affair with Collins. I can understand why the media turned on Vince Young. The kid had a lot of hype coming out of college that he just hasn't lived up to. But the effusive praise for what was essentially a mediocre season for Kerry Collins last year was just absurd. What was the weakest part of the Titans team? The passing game. So why is Collins rewarded with essentially being not good enough to win but not bad enough to lose games for you (which is essentially what Vince Young was if you were paying attention)?
To me the Collins love-Young hate was symptomatic of a media that has a short term memory. Collins was run out of Carolina despite being a young talented pro early on. Why? Because he essentially gave up on his team. I remember reading article after article about Collins having no heart and how he shouldn't be allowed back in the NFL. A couple years later, he was leading the Giants to a super bowl loss.

In Young's defense though how many qbs that come out of college live up to the hype once they get in the NFL?
Fail-- Palmer, Carr, Vick, Leinart
Didnt have anything to work with-Young, Leftwich, Jamarcus Russell, Alex Smith
Lived up to the hype--Matt Ryan, Rivers, Eli
I never like Collins, doubt his control on the field. I dont think this was a great move on the Titans part, but as a Steeler fan-I like it lol

I've given up on the Bengals. They are trading TJ... when they should be getting rid of Palmer and Ocho Cinco. But I'm pretty sure TJ is a free agent and wants out of Cincy. Too much drama when you draft convicts.
2/5- Papadosio 3/3- MUSE 3/12- John Mayer 3/19- The Werks 3/31- Passion Pit 4/18- Ben Folds 4/20- Against Me! 6/10- Bonnaroo 6/30- Eric Clapton and Roger Daltrey
I wouldn't have thought it was possible but it looks like the Patriots just got conned. Two starters (Cassel and Vrabel) for a second round pick? I may hate the Patriots but I always respected the intelligence of their organization. Just weeks ago a lot of folks (including their new front office guy, Floyd Reese) were pretty convinced that they wouldn't part with Cassel for less than a high first round pick plus an additional second or third. Maybe Pioli was the real braintrust there?
EAGLES will probably sign OT Stacey Andrews (brother of current EAGLES OT Shawn Andrews) pending a physical.
I still hope they pick up an #1 WR like TJ or Marvin, but I' not gonna hold my breath.
Marvin Harrison is not a number 2 even on a team like the Eagles. He is a decent third receiver, but nothing more than that at this point. I agree on the Collins overratedness. They'd be better off with Young's scrambling ability imo.

Yeah Collins was a drunk in Carolina, he'll tell you that. But the bottom line he has ALOT of game experience, he throws a good deep ball, and he just simply doesn't make the errors that that Young does. In our offensive system, that's all he needs to do to be great. I think if we get a better receiver, such as Coles or if the meeting with Washington goes well him; then I think our offense will be leaps and bounds better.
I also don't see that large of a hit coming to our defense. We draft very well and there will definitely be a strong DE on the board for our first round, we have one of the best defensive line coaches in the game, and I've heard rumors of Christ Canty being a possibility; meaning we could run a very mean 3-4 with alot of depth and versatility at d-line. Tony Brown, Jason Jones, and Vickerson all did well at DT this year too, Haynesworth was not worth what he wanted.
I'm sure all my eagles brethren are feeling the hurtin like I am after losing Dawkins. That one really hurts. It makes me lose faith in the eagles
you know what man I totally trust the brain trust of the eagles. If history shows anything its that they get rid of the players right before they hit the downside of their career thereby not having to pay a lot of money to someone who is slow and aging. If you don't remember I have two words for you Duce Staley. I also would like the bucs to take a chance on vince young. I'd trade a 4th rounder or something to that extent to help turn around his career.

This is true to a certain extent, but Dawk still has a couple good years left in him. If nothing else he's good to have around for moral support and to bring up the young bucks. He's the heart and soul of that defense, if not the whole team. We def will not be the same without him

I agree completely. Dawkins was the soul of the team, the backbone of the defense, and cannot be replaced. It hurts me as an eagles fan and as a philadelphian to see him go. He embodied all of the great qualities of the city and its people. Seriously, its hard me me to not get a tear in my eye when i read his daily news interview. I dont think hes washed up in his career, he just made a probowl and is the leader of the d and the plays he made got us into the playoffs. He deseved better from the eagles.
I was just listening to 610WIP (the local sports talk station for those that don't know) and Hugh Douglas was ranting against the team for the financial reasons of letting Dawk go. How it doesn't make any sense financially and the cost/benefit of keeping him around the team for the young guys. I thought it was great to hear him saying what he was saying cause The Eagles did the same thing to him a few years ago. You can't keep everyone of the fan favorites, but Dawk, I mean, damn. Words can't describe what he means to the team and the city.
I'm with you all on the Dawk issue, I still can't believe he's gone..
BUT, after I saw the deal was 5 years, then I realized it was a smart move by the Eagles. I love the guy, but he can't play for 5 more years. Maybe he can, but the Eagles didn't want to take that chance.
I'm gonna try my hardest to make it to that Denver game this year when Dawk returns, and I'm proudly going to wear my number 20 jersey. I hope we can all give him the standing ovation he deserves
I'd really like to know what the Eagles offered him. Cause there's no way he's playing with Denver for 5 years. 3 years tops. That's what Hugh Douglas was talking about. He was talking about the way these contracts are structured for the veterans, and how the Eagles could have gotten it done if they wanted to.
Is it an AFC West season for us this year? I was just thinking how great it would be to have the Broncos come into the Linc this year and how big that standing O would be.

Kerry Collins is no answer, but their passing game isn't doing anything until they get some receivers. They're dogshit right now.
And yeah, wtf is up with NE?? I heard Denver offered them their mid 1st round pick for Cassel, but they passed it up. I thought he was going to net a first rounder no problem, let alone with throwing Vrabel in the mix. Sounds like a handshake agreement with their old assistant to me. I mean, NE has plenty of cap room now, but it sure seems like they could have made out better. Not that I'm too upset, being a Dolphins fan.

Now we have Nate Washington to replace Brandon Jones, and hopefully Lavelle Hawkins is putting in the hours this off season and will be ready to play come next season. With a deep threat like Washington, our run game being among the top in the league, look for the Titans in the playoffs again next year. We'll be picking a defensive playmaker in the first round (I've seen mockups with us picking Michael Johnson out of Georgia Tech, or Robery Ayers out of Tennessee if he's available) and with the depth on our d-line, I'm going to love watching us dominate.

I didn't hear about Washington signing with the Titans. It'll be interesting to see how he does as a focal point of the offense. I live about 5 miles away from the high school he went to, so I've followed him quite a bit.
Post by billclinton on Mar 3, 2009 22:44:25 GMT -5
Yeah I think he got a 6 year deal. I think he'll do alright. I bet he doesn't break 80 catches all season, but just having him as a threat we'll have a few big plays where he slips out. A nice dose of LenDale and CJ, then get those safeties on the line, give a nice play action and BAM 6 points to Washington. I can see it now. ;D

I just turned on ESPN and they called off the coast guard search for those football players last night at sundown. Very sad.
The one guy they rescued said that after 4 hours of nobody coming, the two pro players took off their life jackets and drifted out to sea. All they found was a cooler and a life jacket.
2/5- Papadosio 3/3- MUSE 3/12- John Mayer 3/19- The Werks 3/31- Passion Pit 4/18- Ben Folds 4/20- Against Me! 6/10- Bonnaroo 6/30- Eric Clapton and Roger Daltrey
What? So no one comes in 4 hours it's time to give up and die? WTF?
yeah that is what i thought. perhaps i heard it wrong. but the coast guard interviewed the rescued guy when he had hypothermia and was kind of out of it.
Edit: No, I heard it correctly. That is what the guy said. Bummer.
