    I refuse to agree with this. Don't twist Locker's injury proneness to his level of play. Before Locker was injured again, he was showing exactly why it is still very much a thing to develop NFL QBs. Locker showed steady improvement from season to season and was really blossoming this year. The Titans made the perfect call with his development strategy, unfortunately Locker has not shown ability to stay healthy, and the Titans will nearly be forced to look elsewhere next year. Locker can't survive if he doesn't slide on about every run.

    You really think Locker had a chance in 2011? They were set on not starting him.

    I agree and I think it comes down to how Locker plays the game. It is all about his mentality. Week 1 vs pats 2012, he makes a tackle to prevent a td. He made the tackle but got himself injured with the shoulder. He needs to be smarter and realize he needs to let it go to play another down. His mentality wont change and he will constantly get hurt because of this.

    I disagree with this, at least at this very minute I do anyways.

    here's why we DO have direction:
    Bernard Pollard
    Michael Griffin
    Jason McCourty
    Altuearn Verner
    Jurrell Casey
    Greg Willaims
    Jerry Gray

    we can very easily make this season about the defense, the same way we did the first several weeks before we began turning the ball over.

    The thing about us is, once we got away from playing good defense, it all went to crap. The offense has to manage the game and give the defense their rest. We've seen how good our defense can be when they're not playing 40 minutes of football. Offense has to do their small part and just not F^ck up. Simple really.

    We're now getting a little something extra out of the MLB, and DT positions. We can get out of this funk if our QB and RB simply hold onto the football.

    No he didnt prevent a TD b/c there was penalty that brought the play back and he should have seen this and just got out of the way. Stupid!

    No no no no no no. You have always been very critical of Griffin and now you are all about him?!?

    BTW when will you see that McCourty is at best a number 3 CB. He constantly gets beat on slants and come backs b/c he plays so far off b/c he is afraid of getting beat?!?! Watch TY Hilton catch a pass on him every time that he's on McCourty's side.

    I forgot about the penalty but my post was more about his mentality regardless of preventing a td or not.

    First of all all those players are irrelevant... if you don't have a franchise quarterback. And Gray, c'mom man?
