I talked to one of the Vikings players last month and at that time he was excited about the possibility of Farve joining the team. I interpreted that as Jackson was still a work in progress, and perhaps he must have seen some film of Rosencopters game against the Colts last year. It will be interesting to see how this move plays out.
I guess Houston fans will remember Sage's play for a while. :lol:
I don't think so. Even if Collins flops, Vince will not be in Tn much longer. He was never Jeff Fisher's choice in the first place. Bud Adams wanted Vince. Not only that, his team aint feeling him from what is being reported. So I think Vince will want out after the season and the Titans will not want to be on the hook for his escalator clause in his salary that kicks in for the 2010 season. I actually don't think Collins will flop. He will manage the game and not take too many chances. Plus they aint good enough to win the AFC anyway in my opinion. I would not even be shocked if Fisher goes after Lienart from Arizona....the QB he really wanted before he got overuled by Adams.
Fisher likes that conservative offense-sometimes to a fault. Anyway, if the Titans run the ball well, it will protect Collins at quarterback.
The have a helluva OL for run blocking. However I think they are overated as far as their pass blocking is concerned. But definitely they aint a sad OL.
I have had problems with their pass protection schemes. The late Jim Johnson had to love it when the Eagles played the Vikings last season in the playoffs.
LOL. Well you know there is a rumor around the NFL that U of Texas players are very coddled and spoiled. Hence, having hard time adjusting to the NFL. I remember hearing that on the NFL network during the combines.
Vince was a great college Qb who had a good rookie season. So I think he thought everything was easy and didn't work to get better. Plus you could see the arrogance coming. I remember him saying when Donovan was talking about being extra hard for a black Qb in the NFL.......that he didn't see it that way. I wonder how he feels about that now.
When Young and Texas A&M's Reggie McNeal were playing college ball in 2005, I said that I would rather take McNeal than Young. Well, Texas A&M goes 5-6 while the Longhorns win the national title. Jafus kind of did not let me forget that.
Anyway, I said that because Young would look at his first option and then run while McNeal would look at his second or third on a pass play. I hated it that McNeal was drafted as a receiver because he was a quarterback first and foremost.
As for the Longhorn players being coddled, it would not shock me. Consider this. I remember when Chris Simms was interviewed each week by Dan Patrick when he was at EPSN. After a while the interviews ended, and Patrick wondered why. Word was then that the UT-Austin players were coddled and pampered. However, the former Texas A&M players under R.C. Slocum were credited by NFL coaches as being well taught, coached and prepared.
Back to Vince understand that he was the number one high school player as a senior. He is used to being number one. I will bet that he remembers what happened to Steve McNair in Nashville (being booed even though the Titans were leading in a game) and what McNabb said. One should watch what they say and when they say it.
