Here’s your weekly Tennessee Titans links for stuff I found all over this inter web thingy:

• TitansDraft has a great article up on some surprise picks the Tennessee Titans may hit us with in this years draft.  Last year we were surprised in almost every round, but the first round most of all.  I do think there’s less likely a chance of a major upset this year due to the glaring needs combined with how high the pick is.
• Randy Moss talks about how awesome Kenny Britt could be if he got his mind right.  Hey Britt!  Listen to the man!  The problem is that Moss is right, and he if he doesn’t live up to his potential, then it will be just another waste.  Even worse would be if he decided to flourish and become truly bad a** on another team after next year.
• Matt Stein at the Bleacher Report has a list of free agents he thinks is worth overpaying.  Not only that, but he also points out which team should overpay for the high profile player.  Many Titans fans covet Andy Levitre, currently of the Buffalo Bills.  He’s in the list, but Matt thinks the Bears are the ones that should get him.  Screw the Bears.  We need him more.
• The fellas over at MCM have put up an article breaking down Kenny Britt’s brief but spectacular play in 2011 before the injury.  Superhorn does a good job of analyzing the “why” part of what made Kenny so special during those first few games.  It really is a shame because it looks like he was just starting to really “click”.
• The USA Today let us know that the Titans have brought in recently released Giants DT Chris Canty.  It’s good to see the Titans are doing their homework before free agency starts so that they can make a move early on.  This would be a great move if the price is right.
• Matt Gagne at SI.com has a great breakdown on the issues with the Titans and what they need to do this offseason.  The most eye raising part of the article is the 35.2% completion rate Locker had under pressure.  Not good at all.

27 days until the start of Free Agency

71 days left until the Draft

Anyone else feel like February is the longest month?  I would have cut it short if I was making the calender as well.

Welcome back to the weekly Tennessee Titans links.   Chris Johnson should surely consume the Titans’ headlines this week as the team needs to make their decision on keeping him by Friday or they guarantee $9M of his $10M due.  Some of the links involve him, but there’s some other goodies from around the Web for my peeps also.  Feel free to reply any cool links you’ve found in the comments thread.

*  Chris Johnson speaks about how far the Titans are from a Super Bowl.  It’s so far away “it’s like it’s in space.”  That’s awesome.

*   Chad Minton at the Bleacher Report gives a rundown of which offensive players need an expanded role in 2013.  He’s 2 for 4 in my opinion.  Cook and Kendall Wright definitely need expanded roles.  Jamie Harper should be cut though, and I’m not sure I agree with the take on Locker.  He’s the starter, so how much can you expand that role?  He needs to not be injured and have a good coordinator, not “run” more.

*  John Glennon gives a rundown of some Titans’ contracts for the upcoming season.  These players could be cut outright or their contracts redone in order to free up more cap space.

*   Chris Johnson tells a local radio show how the money from his big pay day didn’t change him, and how the next payment won’t either.

*  Randy Moss told reporters that the Titans “blackballed” him during his stay in Tennessee.  He wonders why the Titans even claimed him if they weren’t going to use him.  Good question.

*  Titans Draft has released their latest 2 round mock.  The Titans still get Warmack which would be great but just won’t happen.

34 days until Free Agency opens

78 days until the Draft

How many days until hope is renewed?

Your Tennessee Titans weekly links!

*  Nate Dunlevy at The Bleacher Report has brought back a hilarious off-season series, in which the Bluth family is used as a comparison for the Titans’ season.  An absolute must read!

*  PFF broke down a very important metric for corner backs, showing who allowed the most first downs or touchdowns as a percentage of snaps played.  Titans fans will be happy to see that Alterraun Verner showed up as the #10 best defensive back for shutting opponents down on these key downs.

*  Matt Miller breaks down his position by position analysis of the players at the Senior Bowl.  An extra nugget for all you draft geeks out there.

*  A heart wrenching gut check by Paul Kuharsky breaks down the divergence of the Ravens and the Titans, once closely matched rivals, whose teams have taken significantly different paths over the past 5 years.

*  Mike Florio says that it is sheer desperation that has brought Mike Munchak to bring in Greg Williams.  I’m not sure if it was desperation, or a way to fix the defense.  I guess we’ll see.
