Titans-Broncos inactives, gameday thread

Written by Tom Gower on .

The weekly inactives list is out and contains only the expected change:

TENNESSEE TITANS
LB Rennie Curran, G Ryan Durand, DE Jacob Ford, WR Lavelle Hawkins, S Robert Johnson, CB Jason McCourty, OT Mike Otto, QB Rusty Smith (3rd QB)

Tony Brown was listed as questionable and will play.  Mike Otto is back from surgery and wasn't on the injury report, but doesn't return to the lineup; I guess they like Troy Kropog more than him, at least right now.  Jacob Ford is questionable and with the depth at defensive end, there's no need to play him if he's not fully healthy.  Nick Schommer takes Jason McCourty's spot in the lineup, but the Titans didn't add a cornerback like I thought they might.

DENVER BRONCOS
OL Chris Clark, CB Andre Goodman, FB Spencer Larsen, RB Knowshon Moreno, OL Eric Olsen, QB Brady Quinn (3rd QB), TE Richard Quinn, LB Wesley Woodyard

Goodman was questionable, but being out again likely means more of rookie corner Perrish Cox, whom the Colts successfully picked on last week.  OT Ryan Harris was also questionable, but will be in the starting lineup.  And, of course, Quinn at the third quarterback means Tim Tebow is active and we could be seeing him today.  Then again, I'm a little more concerned about the Broncos iso'ing receivers on option routes against the Titans' linebackers.

Feel free to leave your comments here during today's game.

The Tennessee Titans (2-1) will be seeking their third win of the season as they play host to the Denver Broncos (1-2) at LP Field tomorrow afternoon.

Coming off an impressive road victory against the G-Men, the Titans will need another solid performance in order to secure the W and keep pace with fellow AFC South foes Indianapolis and Houston; who are also 2-1 and looking to attain supremacy in the early stages of the divisional race.

Up next, a preview and a prediction for tomorrow's Titans/Broncos clash.

Broncos Zone answers questions from Total Titans

Written by Andrew Strickert on .

 
This week, Total Titans invited Jon Heath of Broncos Zone to participate with us in a question and answer exchange. Following in Part One are Jon's answers to our questions.
 
Total Titans: During the preseason, some writers were saying that Jabar Gaffney was definitely the Broncos' #1 receiver and Kyle Orton didn't really have that good of a relationship with his other receivers. Now you have Brandon Lloyd, Eddie Royal and Gaffney all in the NFL's top 30 WRs, plus first-round draft pick Demaryius Thomas who had a 97-yard, one-TD debut. Who should the Titans be most concerned with?

The LeGarrette Blount Decision Revisited

Although its magnitude paled in comparison to a certain NBA player who infamously decided to take his talents to South Beach this fall, the Tennessee Titans made a somewhat controversial call of their own before the start of the NFL season.

The decision I'm talking about is the Titans releasing promising RB LeGarrette Blount only a day or so after the rookie sledgehammer had, for the time being, made the team's final 53-man roster.

As a result of Blount resurfacing and showing some power running ability with the Tampa Bay Bucs and the recent concerns regarding the workload of "Mr. 2,000" himself: Chris Johnson, let's revisit the Titans' decision to part ways with their former running back.

Opportunity knocks for Alterraun Verner

Written by Drexel Perry on .

August 2,2010: Cornerback Alterraun Verner (20) of the Tennessee Titans during training camp at the Baptist Sports Park in Nashville, Tennessee.

Due to a fractured forearm suffered in yesterday's victory over the Giants, Tennessee Titans' starting CB Jason McCourty could be missing in action for next week's matchup with Denver and possibly beyond.

If he's unable to go, there's a talented youngster who has been turning heads since OTAs waiting in the wings.

Similar to the way that he grasped a drive-thwarting fumble recovery against the G-Men, Alterraun Verner's poised to pounce on his opportunity to step up as a starter on Chuck Cecil's tenacious Titan defense.
