I have been following the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans since the mid 70's. I know the vibes, the systems and Bud Adams way of thinking. So seen that I am new to this forum thing, let me give it a whirl.
The Titans running game diminished badly when they lost Lorenzo Neal a few years back. To this day I still wonder about the decision to let him walk so easily. Hopfully Hall can be a top notch fullback one day. He is young and he is improving every game. The system that the Titans are using now needs an excellent (not good) Fullback. It would be good for giving Lendale White another yard to his rushing average. It would create a little bit shorter distance on those long second and third downs that we always seem to see.
I am not giving up on Vince Young, though I was ready to see the Titans go with more of a pocket passer. I am suprised that Fisher and the Titans decided to go this direction in using a running quarterback like Young. It takes away from that control the clock mentality that coach Fisher is always trying to work. Once the legs go, will Vince Young be able to become the pocket passer that carries us beyond a few years. Will Vince Young ever be a legacy? Time will tell.
Trade Pac Man ---- NO,NO,NO------- I know that the guy may be a head case at times, but if I had that much money in my 20's, I would probably wouldn't be here right now. The man is a great talent who is payed to play football. Everyone grows up eventually and I think that coach Fisher and the Titans should give him that chance. If he was put back in the draft he would be a #1 pick, not the #3 choice that we might get for him. We kept Albert Haynesworth after his shunanagins, which I see being far worse to the sport than what Pac-Man did in his personal time. I know that the NFL wants to hold players to higher standards, but these guys aren't figure skaters for Walt Disney World. If the guys on the team look at him with respect as a player and a team mate, why wouldn't you fill your cornerback needs with what you already have. That makes our first round draft choice open for the defensive lineman or a reciever that the team could really use. Isn't Taeo Spikes still out there available?
Now a call to the coach- - 1.Throw in the hurry up offense in for a play every few downs.
2. Wasting timeouts due to clock managment need to minimize.
3. Whatever happened to the direct snap which is almost always good for some yardage.
