The first-ever TitanInsider Monday Night chat

  • Fitz is out with a knee injury... Breaston will be the guy "testing" our corners.

    Obviously, the cornerback situation merits watching with Verner and McCourty starting tonight. Also, see if Mouton bounces back and they want a long look at Tye Hill once he gets out there.

    The return game with Williams and Mariani should be interesting, and I want to see how Colin Allred holds up, because he's likely the guy until McRath starts, unless Thornton makes it back in time.

    Should be fun to see how the DEs Babin, Brock and Ball do. Those three guys could be competing for two spots.

    Fisher told us Saturday that all 4 QB's would play tonight. I want to see if that really happens.
    I think Blount wasn't impressive against Seattle, he needs to take a major step forward tonight if he's going to make this squad.

    I would really like to see Rusty Smith get some play with the second string... probably not happening tonight though.

    Any feel for how long Ariz. will play guys like Fitzgerald? Would certainly be a great test for the young corners.

    Cardinals rep tells us that Fitzgerald won't play tonight because of a knee injury. Leinart will go about a quarter.

    That is correct Blaize. Just talked to some Arizona media and they think Leinart plays just a quarter.

  • Oh and if anyone was wondering the Titans are favored by 4 points in this game.

    Blaize Pennington

  • I applied to be in the media box, but was denied because who I write for isn't big enough or something. I was just wondering, do you have tv's up there to see replays as they happen? Or are you forced to wait for the jumbotron like the rest of the fans?

    Blaize Pennington

  • Wow. The most startling fact of that is that some people are addicted to gambling enough that they would bet on a preseason NFL game. :)

    Here are your Inactives:
    J. Ford is OUT and Ball will start in his place.
    Britt will replace Gage in the line-up tonight and Verner will get the nod at corner for Finnegan.

    We have both. There are TVs spaced periodically throughout the pressbox and then they also show some of the questionable calls on the jumbotron as well.

  • Just heard Allred is out, any truth to this?

  • So Verner over Mouton tonight. Do you think thats a sign that Verner has passed Mouton in the depth chart, or if they just want to try Verner in the first string to see how he does?

    He is not in uniform with the rest of the LBs. Must be a late scratch. Will try to find out for you.

    Verner got all the reps in practice this week because Mouton had a groin problem that kept him out a few days. That said, Verner deserves the start.

    Monday Night Countdown crew is going over their expectations for Vince this year. What is your take?

    I expect Vince to play the role of a franchise quarterback. This means taking care of the football and leading the team. I'm not expecting 5,000 yards and 30 touchdowns, but I would like to see more touchdowns that interceptions (and fumbles) and more wins than losses.

    There's a thread in here where I talked to Dinger about Vince and the offense, and basically he needs to be consistent in his work and technique. They have been working with him on his footwork for two years now, but occasionally he still reverts back to bad habits of not having his feet set underneath him when he throws. Also, he must protect the football. As much as he has some jaw-dropping plays, the Titans would trade some of those for a few less befuddling ones. If he has overcome the head-shaking plays, then he can become a standout in this league.

  • Monday Night Football Countdown just said Vince is supposed to play four series instead of the two he played against the Seahawks.

    Fisher said he would play about three or four the other day. I find it interesting that they are still going to play all four. Collins said he would have about two series, so that doesn't leave much for Simms and Smith, unless they put up 40 tonight.

  • Let's hope they put up half a hundred!

    I wouldn't bet on it, unless they leave the starters in :)

  • Darren an Terry, are you gonna be posting updates while the game is going on or are you just gonna concentrate on getting some articles written?

    I haven't really seen Rusty participate in very many QB drills tonight. It's been all VY and Collins in warm ups.

    Yes, we will post intermittently throughout the game, as much we can get away with. Can't give a play-by-play, but we can comment on big plays, etc.
    And yes, we will have some postgame stories, of course.
