........TITANS IN TRAINING, DAY 7: CAMP SHOCKER
All thru the OTA’s this summer, all we heard and were fed was how great former number one pick of the Detroit Lions Mike Williams was doing with the Titans. He showed up 30 pounds overweight last year, but he had lost all of that and from the looks of things, had gotten into pretty decent shape.
But on Thursday, a camp shocker, the Titans released Mike Williams. Jeff Fisher said to many drops, and the right focus wasn’t there. WOW! There was never any indication of this even remotely happening but after practice Thursday and talking to a few of the players off camera, none were surprised and in fact some thought it should have happened a long time ago.
Williams was picked 10th by the Lions in the 2005 draft in the first round, they cut him and the Raiders picked him up, they cut him and the Titans picked him up, hoping he could harness something that he had in college at USC when he was dominating.
Nope. Gone. C’est La vie in the NFL. Here one day, gone the next.
Good news in camp: Kerry Collins is on fire. He has marched the 2nd team offense down the field many a time against the first time Defense. Kerry told me that he knows his role on this team and he accepts it and his coaches say he is the ‘perfect’ teammate. But if Vince goes down, and hopefully he doesn’t, this team would not miss a beat at all.
Jevon Kearse, who had missed the last couple of practices with a hurt toe, returned on Thursday and he was unstoppable at times. That dude is on a mission to prove everyone wrong that he belongs and still has it and it will be interesting to see once the preseason starts, how well he does.
Practice Friday is under the lights at BSP, starting at 7:30. It is open to the public and guys, what a great cheap date for you. Camp practices are always free.
