2016 Tennessee Titans Welcome New Season


2016 Tennessee Titans as seen from crow's nest, me being the crow.

Season finish: 8-8 optimum, 6-10 more likely

Biggest deficit: No receivers
Biggest asset: Delanie Walker

COMEDY TIME RERUNS COMING UP
In observing 60-plus years of pro football, Dorial Green-Beckham is the worst receiver I have ever seen. Don't rattle off his stats to me. Those were balls he somehow managed to catch. It's the ones he didn't catch, and how he looked in not catching them, that remain real headscratchers. It's not so much that he failed to haul them in as it is how he reacted to the throws. A receiver is supposed to always be looking for the ball, no matter what play was called. You run your specified route, make the look, and assume it is coming to you every time. But he, with the pretentious hyphenated surname, looked like someone new to the sport just pulled off the streets. And they call it professional football.

PERISH THE THOUGHT?
How can Perrish Cox even be on the team? The guy did not even attempt to tackle a runner going into the end zone in a game last year. It's as if it never happened. He should have been gone before the next sunrise.

TAYLOR UNMADE
Taylor Lewan. His name comes up sometimes regarding whether or not he might be moved to right tackle, creating the assumption he would be all right playing tackle on the right side in lieu of the left. I am not one to make that assumption. Too many bad things happen on his left side. I am not sure he would be even adequate at any position on the offensive line.

IT'S YOUR RECESSIVE GENES, CHIEF
The obnoxious, arrogant, and on the wrong side of everything -- okay, I should just cut to the chase and say Yankee -- Paul Kuharsky, recently said on 104.5 The Sports Zone, after admitting having trouble reading the small print on his computer, "I don't want to show my age," meaning he did not want to pull out his eyeglasses. That's not an age issue Chief, it's a vanity issue. With Kuharsky though it's not either. It pertains more to his recessive genes: bald early, needs eyeglasses, probably hard of hearing as well.
