On Thursday night, the Titans will square off against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau in their final warm-up before the regular season starts. Unlike most teams, who generally sit their starters for the last preseason game, the Titans plan on playing much of the first team, including VY, into the third quarter. I think that this is actually a good move in this case, because the last thing that the team wants is a struggling offense to sit for two weeks and get rusty.
While much has been made this off-season about how poorly Vince has played, offensive coordinator Mike [...]

Former Tennessean writer Paul Kuharsky put up some final camp notes about the Titans, dealing with a few subjects, most notably Chris Johnson:

That speed the Titans were enamored with on draft day certainly showed it can translate into the NFL in the first two games of the preseason. When the games count, the Titans will use him much more creatively, putting him in the slot, splitting him wide and even pairing him in the backfield with LenDale White. He doesn’t get hit squarely very often, but the one question that won’t be answered for a while is how he will [...]

I’ve got four extra tickets for ESPN2’s Friday Night Fights at the Sommet Center here in Nashville tomorrow night. The main event will be a bout between Takalani Ndlovu and Fernando Beltran Jr. (I know, I have no idea who they are either) for the IBO featherweight world title. I’ve never seen boxing live, so I am pretty excited. Unfortunately, no one else seems to be. Let me know if you would like a pair. And yes, they are free.
Here is some more info about the fight.

So, when we left each other, I had just finished the last mock draft before my first real one. As I said yesterday, the league I was drafting for tonight was a head-to-head, 12-team draft with 15 rounds (one extra), starting 1 QB, 2, RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 flex (RB/WR) 1 K, 1 DEF, and 6 bench spots. We dropped the PPR category, but took away a WR, added a flex and changed the point scoring up a bit (won’t go into that), but I think we stayed pretty true to form over past with past years. Since [...]

All right, so I didn’t really know what to write about, and was pretty bored this evening, so I decided to live blog an online mock draft. Excited right? I’ve got my first real draft tomorrow, so I thought it might be some good practice. I’m in a 12-team Yahoo league with standard setting, plus points-per-reception (PPR). I used cbssportsline.com for this one because I can’t ever get ESPN’s to work, and the CBS ones are usually pretty smooth. Here are how the teams break down in this draft: 14 rd. start 1QB/2RB/2WR/1flex (RB/WR)/K/Def. and 5 bench spots. So, here [...]

I figured it was a more intriguing headline than “Titans vs. Raiders pre-season game notes”. It’s been awesome following Phelps for the last week. I have never watched this much swimming in my entire life. I haven’t gone swimming as much as I’ve watched it this Olympics. So really, congrats to that dude. He just had me standing in front of my television yelling “Go baby! USA!” in an empty house. Pathetic maybe, but also patriotic. Plus, he listens to Wayne to get pumped up before races. How cool is that? Um, music video cameo please? The only thing about [...]

Guess who just got a box of autographed David Price baseballs? This guy!
Holy crap, thanks sis! I couldn’t have imagined a more awesome birthday present.
If you don’t know who David Price is, look him up and remember his name, because he is one of the rising starts in Major League Baseball. He is a local guy, born and raised in Middle Tennessee, who eventually went on to attend Vanderbilt University here in Nashville. As his legend grew during his college years, both locally and nationally, those who followed his career realized that there was a very good chance that he [...]

On Sunday, I wrote that I wouldn’t be surprised to see RB Quinton Ganther pass Chris Henry on the depth chart at some point this season.
Quinton Ganther, a seventh round pick out of Utah in 2007, also looked really good. We mentioned him in our notes from training camp a few weeks back, and after seeing him again I was just as impressed. He finished the night with eight carries for 115 yards and two touchdowns, including a nice 45-yard run in the third for his first score. The Titans found a roster spot for him last year, so hopefully [...]

Hey everybody! Just wanted to let you all know that our 2008 Titans team preview is now up on Yardbarker for the world to read.

Thanks again to all of you [...]

Saturday night, the Titans took the field against the St. Louis Rams for the first game of the 2008 season, and proceeded to run their way to a 34-13 victory. Sure it’s just pre-season, but the team gave a packed house a whole lot to cheer about and look forward to this season. The weather was perfect, the seats were great and the outcome couldn’t have been better.
I was thoroughly impressed with the team’s performance from top to bottom. If last night was any indication of the team that the Titans are going to field this year, then I think [...]
