He had an astounding 301 yards rushing against Memphis, and 223 against Boise State in the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl.  Did this used to be called the Aloha Bowl?  Maybe I’m making that up. I’m sure his line wasn’t great, but he only accounted for 110 yards combined against Virginia Tech, North Carolina, and West Virginia. It doesn’t look like he’s a “tough” runner, and that may come back to bite him against the bigger competition of the [...]

Sources tell ESPN’s Ed Werder that Dallas will send its fourth-round pick (the 126th overall) in Saturday’s draft to the Titans for Adam “Pacman” Jones.
And with that, a weight was lifted off the collective shoulders of Titans fans. I know it doesn’t make a ton of sense to outsiders, but today’s trade has invigorated the local fan base. Yesterday we had a guy involved in an extortion investigation who may never step on a football field again. Today, we get an extra draft pick, which gives us three in the fourth-round. We can use it to trade up if we [...]
