You're the Godfather of Titans fandom along with Pitbull here. We are blessed by your presence Smitty. Hopefully you and Pitbull will be back in full swing once training camp and preseason starts. :)

Was bound to happen because of his "advisor"...

Hopefully, nothing will come of it that damages him or the school. Worst comes to worst, he can redshirt as this is considered a rebuilding year by most.

I accidentally missed the NFLDCFF Draft, but thankfully I didn't get replaced. Here is how the computer picked for me:

QB: Tony Romo
WR: Brandon Marshall
WR: Santana Moss
RB: Michael Turner
RB: Darren Sproles
TE: Antonio Gates
W/R: Deion Branch
BN: Jon Kitna
BN: Michael Crabtree
BN: Miles Austin
BN: Josh Cribbs*
BN: Lamont Jordan
BN: Greg Jones*
BN: Chase Coffman

K: Stephen Gostkowski
BN: John Kasay

D: Keith Bulluck*
DB: Bob Sanders*
DB: Ron Bartell*
DL: Kyle Vanden Bosch*
DL: Derrick Burgess*
BN: Calvin Pace*
BN: Curtis Lofton
BN: Daniel Manning
BN: Ryan Denney

Guys with an asterisk next to their name were players I picked up in FA. I was hoping for more Titans DEF players, but Finnegan, Hope, Griffin, Harper, and Jason Jones were drafted. Was ecstatic that no one picked up Bulluck or KVB. Thornton, Brown, Kearse, Tulloch, Jacob Ford, and Jovan Haye are current FA's. I believe we have the most DEF players on rosters. :D

Looks like a pretty solid starting roster. You're bench is kinda meh though, but you're in an extremely deep league so that's to be expected. In my league I have Tony Romo and Santana Moss as well, so it looks like you and I will be following other games together outside of the Titans. :D
The only Titans on my team are Lendale and Griff as an IDP.
Good luck to ya TH! I hope you win it all!

Thank ya kindly! Hope your team goes beastmode too.

I almost got kicked out since I missed the Draft. Thankfully, I wasn't one of the ones to get booted. Sent a PM to JB apologizing. I got the feeling that he really wasn't happy that I wasn't there (he said I was the only one not there, but I think UKfan wasn't either). Fantasy Football ain't no joke.

But yeah, I was concerned about my WR's. Brandon Marshall is a crazy motha' trucka', Santana Moss is good, Deion Branch is injury prone, Miles Austin is ok, Michael Crabtree is a greedy punk who who's holding out all preseason, and Josh Cribbs is hit or miss. Sooo, I'm trading with UKfan, who doesn't have a Kicker cause autopick never got him one. I'm sending him John Kasay and Miles Austin for Chris Chambers. He's loaded at WR with Greg Jennings, TJ Houshmandzadeh, and Anthony Gonzalez, plus Chambers and Amani Toomer on the bench.

I get a 70-pt WR for depth, and he gets a 130-pt K starter and a 40-pt WR for depth. Perfect trade for both sides who kinda got screwed by Autopick. :)

Picked up Nick Harper off waivers on my NFLDC team! :D

The Skol Dynasty (dunno who that is off the top of my head, but our team names reflect our forum names - I'm the Hopeful Titans

) dropped him in favor of Bears S Kevin Payne, so I scooped him up. Tackles are the big points makers, and Harper's good for them.

Jarvis Giles ain't lookin' too hot for South Carolina right now...

*Day dreams about Bryce Brown and David Oku*

Can't wait to see them in action on Saturday. Hopefully I'll be "recovered" from my party by then.

63-7...

Holy crap!

It was a pretty good game. They still need to work on a few things though.

Like fumbles and slow starts. Other than that, we looked alright.

Crompton looked 100x times better despite the two interceptions, albeit tipped ones.

TitanHope · 09-05-2009, 09:08 PM

Apparently, Tyler Bray, a 4* Pro Style QB according to Rivals, will be committing. He was at the game today visiting, and his dad was in the stands. A fan yelled to his dad towards the end of the game saying, "We need him!" and dad yells back, "You got him!" For now it's just a rumor, but it's been said by two fans who were there.

Anyway, early miscues or not, there were ranked teams who played equal or worse teams than we did today, and even they didn't handle themselves like we did. Love the new offense. The early swing passes had me worried about more dink and dunk, but by the end I was in love. Defense looks just as dominant as last year, but with a better pass rush. Wes Brown moving inside with his quickness looks like a genius move, and Ben Martin and Chris Walker had great games.

UCLA next week will be the barometer, and if we do well, I think we can definitely compete for 2nd in the SECEast with improved QB play, stable of RB's, and stellar defense.

CashmoneyDrew · 09-05-2009, 09:17 PM

I wanted Eric Berry to make that INT on that first pass sooooooo bad.

CashmoneyDrew · 09-06-2009, 03:54 PM

Bryce Brown was Scott's runner-up for breakout pro prospect this season behind USC's Chris Gallappo in his blog. I thought that was interesting. Hope he proves him right! :D

I saw his blog earlier, but I didn't notice his shoutout to BB til ya pointed it out. That's awesome!

Naturally, I had to post kudos in the thread over in the Scott Wright's Corner forums, along with a Hardesty plug.

Did Berry do anything big during the game? Living up in WI, I didn't get to see anything but highlights

3 tackles and a pass breakup. The pass breakup was on the first throw of the game and may have been a pick 6 if he got his hands on it. After that play WKU didn't throw it anywhere near Berry. Not they they could have if they wanted to with the way our front seven was getting pressure on them. He was also pretty much done by half time. Expect to hear more from him in a more evenly matched UCLA game.

Appreciated, thanks.

Atleast we only gave up 80 yards against WKU. I am looking forward to the defense against UCLA. Freshmen are bound to thrown to Eric Berry.
