    SUMMARY: Titans rookie Michael Griffin could not get into the starting lineup at CB due to the play of Cortland Finnegan. But his standout play on special teams got him the opportunity to move back to free safety where he played in college. He played well against the Raiders, replacing second-year player Calvin Lowry, who started the team's first six games. "We just felt like we owe it to the defense to get the best players on the field," Coach Jeff Fisher said. "Griff had been working against the offense on the practice field for the last month or so, so we just felt like it was time to give him a shot. It had nothing to do with the way Calvin (Lowry) was playing. ... But Griff is a special athlete."

    Griffin= Playmaker

    Lowry= safeplayer.

    We needed a playmaker back there. Glad JF stopped being stubborn.

    Thats just wrong. Calvin is a good kid and a good player. I hope, even if as a back up, that he stays with us for a while. He is getting better. When his confidence catches up to his abilities, he'll be very good...

    Fish said on his show yesterday that this move "isn't permanent".

    One thing that bothers me about this whole thing is that Finny is the number 2 CB. To me, he is the CLEAR cut number 1 CB head and shoulders above Harper. Are we missing something that say Harper is good enough to be the number 1 CB?

    Well, hopefully next year we'll have Finnegan, Hope, Griffin, and Pacman as our starting four...
