I feel in a mood to say some controversial things. I hope I don't raise any fire storms, they are just things I feel and want to express. Has Maurice Jones Drew eclipsed Fred Taylor as the greatest running back the Jaguars ever fielded? This season he is putting up numbers that are astounding. Fred Taylor put up 1572 yards in 2003, Maurice is on track to break that record this year. If anyone deserves a standing ovation on Sunday, it is Maurice. Fred put up 14 t...

Wade is a former Titan. He's also a return man, something the Titans need. Just in case anyone missed that note deep in this link from this morning.

Drexel recently wrote about the possibility of the Titans adding another wide receiver. One name he mentioned, former Jacksonville Jaguar WR Matt Jones, is having a workout and physical for the Titans today.

That is, if anyone will give him a job. It'...

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 06:00:00 -0500

Matt Jones will be the first one to tell you that Jacksonville had every justification for releasing him in March. He was suspended last season after a cocaine possession arrest. He went to jail for a week when he violated probation. He engaged in a weird war of words with Joey Porter.Add the mounting off-field issues to Jones' occasional on-field laziness, and the Jags really had no choice but to show him the door. It's not surprising that Jones has struggled to find a new home since...
