Got Our Guy

Now, before I start typing this rather lengthy blog post I must make a statement. IN NO WAY DO I BELIEVE THAT THE TENNESSEE TITANS WILL RESEMBLE THE WORD "GOOD" THIS YEAR. WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH TALENT AND WITH A NEW COACH AND A DEPLETING DEFENSE, WE WILL STRUGGLE. ANYTHING THAT I SAY THAT SOUNDS AS IF I THINK THE OPPOSITE, IS JUST THE FAN IN ME, NOT THE SPORTS AFICIONADO. With that being said, I am incredibly delighted this morning. In fact, I am up at 10:30, and that in and of itself is rare. But, by signing Matt Hasselbeck, we killed so many birds with one stone. First off, we have someone teach Locker and take him under his wing. I can think of very few quarterbacks that would be better than Matt because most of the really good QBs in the league (I know there's Brady, Brees, Manning...) are not the world's most phenomenal citizens. Second, we will win more games with Hasselbeck than with Locker, albeit not THAT many more, but more nonetheless. I've also heard from many sources that Hasselbeck and Locker have a pre-existing relationship but that should come as no surprise as they both played ball for the last 4 (or more) years in the Pacific Northwest. Once again, I see no way we make the playoffs this year, but if things go right, I expect some great things in the future. After all, I was one of the few Titans fans that actually liked the selection of Locker at number eight. But, for Pete's sake, sign CJ to a contract. Give the man what he wants. He is the best running back in the NFL. If you say AP is the current holder of that title, come see me. I got numbers, but that's a blog for another day. I'm just excited for football.
