How will the defense change with the loss of Albert Haynesworth?

Honestly I don't see a real big difference.  We've got guys that are capable of stepping in and making plays.  I mean Jason Jones was just a back-up player last year.  We will see a more balanced rotation.  Tony [Brown] played about 80% of the snaps last year.  Albert played about 60%.  I think it will be more balanced all around.  I think that will be the biggest difference.

What differences have you seen between Chuck Cecil and Jim Schwartz so far?

I can't really say in terms of differences.  We've only had a couple of team meetings, but everything we are doing right now is pretty much the same as we did last year with a few slight adjustments.  We are pretty much running the same things we have been running.  There hasn't been that big of a change.

Have you been able to learn some stuff fromJevon Kearse because ya'll both have the speed style?

I've watched Jevon do some things.  I've mostly been studying Kyle and some of his stuff.  Some of his moves and the stuff he tries to do.  I try to add a little bit of everything I see from other players.  Like Robert Mathis, he has a similar skill set so I try to use some of his stuff.  James Harrison, I try to watch and see what he does.  Pass rushers watch pass rushers to see what they are doing; to see if they can add some of their stuff to their own repertoire

Petition to the Tennessee Titans to Officially Retire Steve McNair's #9

by VolBrian on Jul 27, 2009 8:35 AM CDT

I am a Titans fan. I am a Steve McNair fan. You may have not seen me around MCM very often as I tend to roam around Rocky Top Talk, but gramsey712 informed me that the Tennessee Titans have not officially retired the numbers of Steve McNair, Eddie George, or Frank Wycheck due to Mr. Adams criteria for retirement. Sure, nobody wears number 9, 27, or 89 right now, but they apparently are not off limits, maybe just a bad idea for someone to ask for those. p>

So, I felt it necessary to test out the recent increase in traffic to MCM with this petition to make Steve McNair's number 9 the seventh officially retired number in franchise history, joining Warren Moon (#1), Earl Campbell (#34), Jim Norton (#43), Mike Munchak (#63), Elvin Bethea (#65) and Bruce Matthews (#74).  I will add a poll to this for voting, but please rec, comment, whatever you think might help and let's try and make this pipe dream a reality! Surely someone in the organization would take notice.
