Know Thine Enemy - Tennessee Titans

PrintI suppose it's fitting that this should come on the heels of an NBA Finals where pretty much everybody was enjoying the failure of one LeBron "Princess" James (H/T to TDC for the new LeBron nickname). Because, let's be honest here, when it comes to hatred; I mean big-time, deep-seated, massive, borderline-psychotic collective hatred, no other team comes remotely close to the magnitude of contempt that Texans fans have for the Tennessee Titans and their scumbag owner, K. S. Adams (I refuse to call him Bud because he ain't my Bud).
This year's theme for the BE-SFs Traitors Titans is "overhauling." The team is going through some changes in the coaching staff, a new rookie quarterback, and some troubles with the law. Let's take a jump and find out how those changes will affect our Texans.
The Titans drafted a new quarterback with the 8th overall pick, Washington's Jake Locker. But is he ready to start for them whenever the season begins? Music City Miracles has broken down Jake Locker's performance against Oregon State in two separate posts (Part Two can be found here). Or will the Titans rely on the "trusty" arm of Kerry Collins? I'd pick option "C" in this case: Rusty Smith!!
The coaching staff for the Titans has been completely transformed. Surprising to just about nobody, there are a lot of former Oilers on the coaching staff, such as Jerry Gray, who takes over defensive coordinator duties from Chuck Cecil, and offensive assistant Bruce Matthews. Some names are familiar to Texans fans, like former clipboard holder and Titans wide receivers coach Dave Ragone and new offensive coordinator Chris Palmer (who is expected to help Locker improve his accuracy). While it's easy to joke about how he did such an awesome job with David Carr while he was here and Tim Couch when he was head coach in Cleveland, he does have some success with quarterbacks who weren't total crap, such as Mark Brunell and Eli Manning. Also on the Titans staff is former Texans defensive coordinator Frank Bush. I have no punchline to add here.
Oh, Kenny, Kenny, Kenny, why can't you stay out of trouble with the law? In case you haven't heard, Titans wide receiver Kenny Britt was arrested earlier for resisting arrest just one day after pleading out on another charge. And now there's news that Britt has two outstanding warrants out for his arrest and Nashville Police are looking for him. Once the lockout ends, this has to be good for, at minimum, a four game suspension from Roger Goodell.

Well, if nothing else...
it’s nice to see another team taking OUR castoffs for once. That’s a change of pace.
Never pass up a chance to poll
I wanted to vote for Rusty Smith for starting QB! And so does Glover!

If he gets a 4 game suspension
season could be over for titans.Will still don’t know what kinda D they will put out on the field either.
i am referring to Britt
also looked at the film of Locker and his team did alot of different looks, something i am pretty the titans will not do. If any thing they are going to be a running team, or atleast attempt to be one.
everytime i see that pic..
it reminds me of this vid. lol

Prediction On TEN's Final Win-Loss Record?
I have a very hard time envisioning them winning more than six games, and I think even that may be too generous.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
damn, another missed poll opportunity!
I say 5-11. But I’m just pulling that out of my arse. I want to give Munch some credit because he was such an awesome player, but their QB spot is shaping up real ugly imo and Britt apparently loves jail food.

As vile a human being K.S. Adams is,
I can’t see him taking two potential franchise QBs in consecutive years, the cost would be simply too much. Which is why I was stunned they took Locker this year. I was almost certain he was trying to throw away the season to get at Andrew Luck next year.
Then again, he IS Satan, I’m probably giving him more credit than he deserves.

Kenny Britt.
Scared me when we played the Titans. He’s got the physical ability to become a truly explosive WR. With his troubles the Titans best offensive weapon is now Chris Johnson. With a rookie QB I think they might become one dimensional even if Collins plays QB for them.
If Britt is jailed or cut/traded the Titans pass offense won’t be much of a threat to me.
No matter how bad it gets,I will believe.It's the only thing I have left for the Texans.

Collins is beyond being productive
The best scenario for the BESFs is if they keep Collins as a tutor with the potential of playing only when one of the younger QBs go down. As a mentor, maybe some good can come of that. That’s what I would do if I were them. But, I’m not them. What I hope they do? Start Rusty Smith and play for the first pick of next year’s draft and fail, finishing 2nd to last….. where they miss out on Luck.

Locker is incredibly innacurate at times
I wanted to like him in college but he’s the type of QB that will make you want to pull your hair out with off target passes that turn into INTs, and he also didn’t seem able to make big throws in clutch situations either.
Great for us!
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
If the Titans defense is strong and Chris Johnson is healthy the Titans are going to be dangerous. They have done pretty well without a great QB before
I’m not sure what to expect from their D though.
"If my hips had pockets, I wouldn't wear pants at all." @NotBurtReynolds
Chris Johnson is good, but I think the league is onto him and learned how to contain him enough so that he is beating you week in and week out
The rest of the team isn’t going to beat you. Contain Chris Johnson and you are winning.
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
I sort of agree
The fact is you can contain Chris Johnson most of the day, but make one mistake and he can burn you. It’s really going to depend on how well their defense plays. The difference between us and them is they will likely need the defense to be dominant. We just need ours to be decent.
"If my hips had pockets, I wouldn't wear pants at all." @NotBurtReynolds
Plus, Chris Johnson can wear down
The BESFs can’t go to him on every play, every game, the whole season. The nitpicky injuries take a toll. That guy is sore all season long starting with the first game. He tires. He’s a sprinter, not a distance runner. Tackle the guy and make him feel it! That’s how you get to him.
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
I'm well aware of that RIP
I’m just trying to be a little objective about the Titans. Good defense+good running game can hide a lot of QB deficiencies. See: Vince Youngs W/L record.

Is that your way of saying you don't want me to be part of the discussion?

Looks to me like this is from the archives of 2009
when Cushing earned DROY.
What I see in this segment is Cush puts some pain on CJ and “speedy” ends up out of bounds with stars swirling around his head while he searches for his sister for a quickie (since he’s a BE-SF and all).
As stated earlier, he “was” an impressive RB and all, but teams have figured out how to defend against him. Also, the rest of his team isn’t doing much to help win games. You remember 2010 right? When the Titans finished dead last in the AFC South? Even behind the dismal performance of 3rd place Texans.
Now where did I put that can of…
Right, it's not just the Texans that have caught on to containing Johnson
He is still good and a big threat to break one, but so wasn’t Barry Sanders when he was with the Lions and they were mediocre year after year. The Titans are a suck team right now in transition. Where will that transition take them? Maybe, LA……
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
We just need someone to actually cover him.
I don’t see a defender in Wade’s D making that mistake though.
Am I the only person here

I don't hate him
I think he’s a fool for repeatedly being stupid and immature. He is a physically gifted basketball player who, I think, is not the greatest team player, even though he wants to be and tries to be. But he hasn’t quite figured it all out, yet. Michael Jordan was the same way in his early years. He was above the rest of the league in his early years with what he could do, but he couldn’t do it in a team framework and that is what you need to win championships.
What has also hurt LeBron is that hasn’t grasped the subtleties of public/social interaction, so our perception of him is negatively multiplied. He needs to learn a few life lessons. Does anyone see similarities to VY and his lack of maturity when you think of LeBron?
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
I don't know about that
I don’t think we’ve heard of other players banging VY’s girlfriend & mom yet, but otherwise yeah.
Craploads of physical talent – check
Wins a lot of games – check
Ripped on other people – check, but in separate directions (Lebron towards his “haters”, VY towards his coaches)
Tons of immaturity – check

The GF and mom things weren't brought on by LeBron's actions
LeBron has also ripped on his fellow competitors, not just the fans. That’s showing a lack of maturity. He does it subtly, but he does it and we all know it. which raises a question by me. Why doesn’t he just come out and say it point blankly if he’s going to say it? The subtlety just make me question him even more.

I’d take him on the rockets ALL DAY. Guy is going to destroy the league next year, while Dallas goes back to mediocrity

He did it all year last year, but not in the championship finals where he is now 2-8.
But, you can see why fans take pleasure in seeing him fail and if other players take joy in that, you can’t blame them. Pointedly calling Derrick Rose, “the MVP” after the Eastern playoffs when LeBron was instrumental in that win with his defense on Rose was just a stupid comment. He doesn’t need to vent those kinds of thoughts and his status is hurting as a result. He needs to stop saying stupid self-centered things and I right now, that’s not happening, as witnessed by his comments following losing the championship. At this point, he should do exactly what he was talking about and go back to his wonderful family life for a while and when he comes back to the spotlight, just be a lot more humble and keep his inner thoughts to himself.
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
He's scared of the big moment
Just watch ’07 finals against San Antonio, playoff series against Celtics last year (especially this case), and the finals this year.
He checks out and takes a back seat in the moments that the true superstars relish. I dunno why but I suspect it has something to do with not wanting to be a goat if he fails, which is cowardice if you ask me. All the comparison to Jordan is bullshit. MJ would never have shied away from the big moment like LeBron, and until he learns to overcome that and become a closer he’s just another over hyped, over privileged diva.
Dwayne Wade on the other hand…..he’s clutch.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
It's only been a few days
…but I’m already so sick of the LeBron arguments that the mere mention of his name makes me stabby.

Its stupidly overblown
the worst is people trying to bury his career already. He is 26 years old people. He is going to be around for awhile, and I highly doubt thats his last finals appearence. Deal with it.
You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view--until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.
Dealing with it....
Isn’t that what we’re doing?
