Which Titan will be cut next?

We now have our “final” 53-man roster, at least for a few hours. The Titans have traditionally picked up a guy or two off the waiver wire the day after final cutdowns. The players they pick up don’t usually make much of a contribution, if any, but occasionally they get a good one, such as Eric King two years ago.
Earlier this morning, Drexel looked at some players who the Titans might pick up.
Here’s what I’m wondering. If the Titans get one player off the waiver wire, who gets cut to make room for him? Who’s the second guy who will get the axe if the Titans pick up two new players?

Is the Titan 53-man roster set in stone?

And then there were 53.
The Titan roster now consists of the aforementioned number of players, due to yesterday’s final cuts.
Of course, with the rest of the league jettisoning players as well, the Titans could view other teams’ losses as potential gains over the course of the next couple of days.

Titans make cuts to reach 53-man limit

As the website maintenance planned for this weekend is currently on postponement, it’s time to put up a post here on the roster cuts.
The Titans have released 22 players, 13 yesterday and 9 more today, to reach the mandatory 53-man roster limit. A full list of cuts, along with analysis, follows after the cut:

Some thoughts on Titans 23-21 victory

The preseason came to an end tonight as the Titans held on to a 23-21 victory over the Packers.
As Andrew predicted earlier, most of the game consisted of the Titans’ better players playing against Green Bay’s scrubs, so that must be taken into consideration when evaluating team/individual performances.
Here are my thoughts on tonight’s contest.

Titans at Green Bay gameday

Tulloch starting for Bulluck tonight, Allred for Thornton.
Stewart, Harper and Carr are questionable. Bironas, Hawkins and C. Williams are out.

The 53-man on the eve of the last preseason game

As we look forward to Thursday’s fourth and final preseason game against the Packers, the most important thing to keep in mind is that 22 players currently on the Titans’ roster won’t be there in 3 days’ time. It’s likely the coaches are already almost certain who will stay and who will meet the Turk before Saturday’s deadline.

Chris Henry: The forgotten RB

Where have you gone, Chris Henry?
Yesterday, when asked about how the carries will be split in the rushing attack this season, Jeff Fisher gave the following response:

“We’re going to use them both (Chris Johnson/LenDale White) depending on the game plans and it makes sense to take advantage of both of their abilities…Provided they’re healthy week in and week out I would assume it would be close to 50-50, maybe 60-40.”

With Johnson and White virtually splitting carries, Chris Henry appears to be on the outside looking in when it comes to the running game in 2008.

Which WRs will make the Titans roster?

I heard an interesting comment last week from Terry McCormick, the Titans beat writer for The [Nashville] City Paper. It wouldn’t surprise him if the Titans keep only five receivers when they cut down to a 53-man roster on Saturday.
The reasoning is that Mike Heimerdinger will only be using four WRs. The fifth one would be inactive on gamedays and only be activated for those games in which another receiver can’t go. No reason to waste an extra roster spot or two on guys who won’t see the field.

Roydell Williams: An endangered WR?

A lingering ankle injury has prevented veteran WR Roydell Williams from making much of an impact this preseason. The bothersome ankle ended Roydell’s brief six-play appearance during Friday’s loss to the Falcons.
According to recent media reports, Roydell’s chances of contributing as a Titan in 2008 may come down to this week, as the team prepares to trim its roster.

A Jaguars preview from a Titans’ perspective

Continuing our series on AFC South opponents from a Titans’ perspective, we now turn to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Although the Titans and Jags have split the series in the last two years, they haven’t been exactly equal. Indeed, Jacksonville has been the toughest matchup for Tennessee in the last several years. While the Titans have won two games from the Jags in two years, they’ve been by narrow margins. Jacksonville, on the other hand, has won their two games handily. Still, the two clubs are similar in quite a few ways and should once again compete for postseason play.
