Malcolm Floyd has stepped up after the departure of Vincent JacksonFloyd has 10 receptions for 175 yards and a touchdown in the first two games of the season. He is now the number one wide receiver on the depth chart now that former star receiver, Vincent Jackson, signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Floyd had a great game vs. the Titans catching six balls for 109 yards and his first touchdown of the season. At 6-5, Floyd plays a lot like Jackson as they are both big physical receivers. He is a constant downfield threat and should have a great season.2. Philip Rivers loves throwing to his tight ends, whoever they are.With Antonio Gates sitting this game out, Randy McMichael started at the tight end position for the Chargers. The backup was former Carolina Panther, Dante Rosario. McMichael is an 11th ye...

Tennessee Titans: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#25)

Via The Football Fan Spot  |  September 18, 2012
Last week: 11 (-14) Record: 0-2 Before the season, I had the Titans as a playoff team. I thought they had a very strong supporting cast and that Jake Locker would be an upgrade over Matt Hasselbeck, who took this team to 9-7 last year as nothing more than a game manager. I felt that Chris Johnson would continue his strong running from the 2nd half of last season (4.8 YPC in the final...
