    It is a little bothersome that he has pulled up with a hamstring on several occasions after a run. It seems like it happens most often when he's playing with another injury... makes me wonder if he runs tight overcompensating for one injury and pulls his hammy. Today's might be blown out of proportion by the fact he didn't need to come back in, so why risk it? We'll see. It's football - injuries happen.

    But his passing this season has given me hope that he can do what Steve did... limit his running to only when we really need it, and beat teams with his arm.

    Fish said in the postgame presser that it is a "mild hamstring".

    He did good in that game, but his ability to avoid getting tackled helped, which he used his legs. Also, by using a spy on him helps take an extra guy out of the play.

    Kerry played Ok, but you can tell that defenses seem like they play better against us when he is in. They dont have to worry about Vinces legs.When Vince runs a couple , especially on 3rd down, its a moral booster and moves the chains. When he cant or refuses to run, they dont worry about it as much and try to tee off on him on third and long.

    I hope his legs are fine because when healthy he is hard to beat.

    Fisher also said that the knee injury, and his lack of practice this week due to the knee injury, may have had something to do with this.

    That being said, I think that he may need to spend more time in the offseason getting a little more flexibility, if he plans to continue to run (which I hope he does, as it really does open up our offense). I am guessing that, since he was not starting at the outset of the season, he may not be fully "in shape" at this point...but that is just my opinion.

    Get over the record... Kerry went 12-2 last year not counting the scrub game in week 17 and crushed the soon to be Super Bowl Champs and he sucks.
    When's one of these QB's gonna beat a SD, INDY, Balt, NE or NO when it counts?

    He seems to be getting a lot of hamstring pulls..which would lead me to believe that its more about his physical conditioning. Maybe his legs got used to sitting on the sidelines...and now that they're getting a lot of work put on them..it isnt used to it

    since when is beating NO considered anything special???

    seems like the last time Titans played NO we won, and Tennessee does better then most against Indy and Balt. You got a point with SD and NE tho
