Anyone think we'll pick up Quinton Moses to replace Connover? That is, if he clears waivers to us.

Titans expected to sign Martin

By JIM WYATT
Staff Writer


The Titans are expected to sign former Montgomery Bell Academy quarterback Ingle Martin to their practice squad.

Martin, released by the Green Bay Packers last week, recently visited the Carolina Panthers and drew interest from other teams. But he was scheduled to take a physical for the Titans today, and if he passes he'll be signed.




Martin was a fifth-round pick by the Packers in 2006. He finished his college career at Furman after spending his first three years at the University of Florida. In addition to playing quarterback, Martin punted.

The Titans currently don't have plans to carry a third quarterback behind Vince Young and Kerry Collins on their 53-man roster. They released veteran Tim Rattay on Saturday.

As a member of the practice squad, Martin would work only in practice.

The Titans are expected to finalize their practice squad today. Already signed is linebacker Colin Allred, according to the player's agent. Allred was released by the Titans on Saturday.

The Titans did not put in a claim on any player released by other NFL clubs on Saturday.

Personally, I'm not much of a Moses fan. He seems like a one-trick pony to me (pass-rushing) and we pretty much already have that in Travis LaBoy.

I'd rather have seen the Titans make a play for a run-stuffing DT -- maybe Kimo Von Oelhoffen or someone similar. That way, Tony Brown could rotate more with Odom on 1st-and-2nd downs (letting LaBoy come in on 3rd).

Well, we got Corey Simon. He's not necessarily known to be a run-stuffer, but he's easier to hop over than walk around ...

[MicktheGreat]

After all the cuts, here's what our roster looks like:

QB: Vince Young, Kerry Collins
RB: Lendale White, Chris Brown, Chris Henry
FB: Ahmard Hall, Casey Cramer (FB/TE)

TE: Bo Scaife, Ben Troupe, Ben Hartsock
OT: Michael Roos, David Stewart, Daniel Loper (OT/OG)
OG: Jacob Bell, Benji Olson, Eugene Amano (OG/C)
C: Kevin Mawae, Leroy Harris

DE: Kyle Vanden Bosch, Antwan Odom, Travis LaBoy, Sean Connover
DT: Albert Haynesworth, Corey Simon, Tony Brown (DT/DE), Randy Starks, Jesse Mahelona
OLB: Keith Bulluck, David Thornton, Gilbert Gardner, LeVar Woods
MLB: Stephen Tulloch, Ryan Fowler
CB: Nick Harper, Cortland Finnegan, Michael Griffin, Reynaldo Hill, Kelly Herndon, Eric King
SS: Chris Hope, Donnie Nickey
FS: Calvin Lowry, Vincent Fuller (FS/CB)

K: Rob Bironas
P: Craig Hentrich
LS: Ken Amato (OL/LB)

PUP: David Givens
IR: Antonio Johnson, Jacob Ford, Michael Waddell (?), Rian Long (?)

Practice Squad (a total of 8 players can be signed, excluding Winkler):
DE Ulrich Winkler (PS exemption)
LB Colin Allred
QB Ingle Martin

[smittyjs]

So who is going to start at Strong side safety?? FUller or Lowry??

[Pit Bull #53]

Safeties should be Hope and Lowry until the coaches say otherwise. Fuller can play safety, but he got most of his reps at NB.

[Pit Bull #53]

Fowler has been named the starter at MLB. Fish said that he plays the run better. It's in a Tennessean article.

I'd much rather see Roydell starting over Moulds. I think we desperately need a speed-threat on the field to stretch DEFs; and (barring some miraculous improvement by Paul Williams) Roydell is by FAR our best deep threat.

[Shere Khan]

How's Bo Scaife looking?

Is he Young's favorite target? I heard he might get as many as 60-70 catches this year...

I took a HUGE gamble on the guy, I dropped Dallas Clark for him
(but I already had Vernon Davis...and I figured Clark might not get that many balls thrown to him, with Harrison, Wayne, Addai and Gonzalez in the mix already)

[Pit Bull #53]

He's definately gonna be the starter, and he'll always be one of Young's favorite targets. Plus we always seem to utilize the TE's alot in our passing game. So I figure he'll get his fair share of stats. He looked good in preseason except for 1 drop in the endzone.

The only problem is that he seems to get nicked up some. And has some knee injury history.

I agree. I wouldn't worry, though. I bet Roydell gets plenty of playing time on Sunday.

Random, fun question:

If you guys could go to ANY home game this season, aside from the Colts game which happens to be our first game at home (Duh), which would be it? You have sky box seats too, so weather or rival fans aren't a problem. You could get the ultimate Titans experience, which has to be at a home game (Duh again), what game would you like to see?

I'd have to go with either the Jags, Carolina, or San Diego.

Home opener against the Colts, definitely. That is, unless we have a make-or-break, playoff implications type game late in the season. Then, I'd want to go to that one.

[TitanHope]

I said aside from the Colts game, since I think that game would be the obvious choice for most.

[smittyjs]

The Bolts, that game would have so many play makers on the field at once.....

Good to see Finnegan get the nod at CB. Also i really don't think it was a surprise to see Scaife get the nod over Troupe. Overall can't wait for the game vs the hags this week, Also is david Garrard starting....... if so then :)

[TitanHope]

Lol, Yup! David "Where'd the ball go?" Gerrard is starting the weekend. :)

Oh, sorry :) I knew reading comprehension skills would be needed in my future, but I still slept through English :(

Okay, I'll go with the home game against the Chargers. If our season is going well, maybe it will be on Sunday night on NBC as part of their "flex" schedule.

[Cashmoney]

id definitely say chargers. id show up like 3 hours before the game to try and get LTs autograph.

[TitanHope]

Odom getting some love from Sports Illustrated.

[Pit Bull #53]

We traded for Bryce Fisher from the Seahawks. Says it is apparently for a draft pick. I'll have to see how high it is before I judge it.

If it's not too much, then I think it's a solid move. We needed another vet DE badly to add to the rotation. It's also decent insurance if LaBoy or Odom get injured. I wasn't too confident in Conover as the backup even though he played decent in preseason.

[smittyjs]

Did Cory Simon play any last week??
