Griffin Thinks Gregg Williams Would Be A Good Addition To Titans D

January 28th, 2013 Matt Loede Posted in News

Titans safety Michael Griffin has never played for Gregg Williams, but he thinks the currently suspended coach could be a good addition to a bad defense, John Glennon of the Tennessean reports.

The Titans are interested in hiring Williams for their defensive coaching staff, but NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has not been reinstated him from an indefinite suspension for his role in the “Bountygate” program with the Saints.

Jerry Gray is expected to remain Titans defensive coordinator if Williams is added to the staff.

“If he comes, I know coach Gray has coached underneath him (in the past), so I don’t think it would be anything where two coaches bump heads trying to figure things out,” Griffin said. “Just watching the Saints play when they won the Super Bowl, and watching the way they played (under Williams) … and he’s been a coach here before. So he’d be able to bring all that together. I think it would help us in the long run.”

Griffin said he spoke last week to former Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan, now with the Rams, about Williams.

“(Finnegan) said Gregg Williams was a great coach and his son was a great coach also for the Rams,” Griffin said. “So I’m pretty sure, you put him and coach Gray together, we should be able to get things turned around.”

Police Remain Looking For WR Britt Over Stabbing Incident

January 15th, 2013 Matt Loede Posted in News, Police Blotter

Things appear to be getting more and more interesting for Titans WR Kenny Britt.

A spokesman for Britt says the receiver “has made himself available to cooperate” with police in the investigation of a stabbing incident involving an acquaintance but a spokesman for the Jersey City police disagrees.

“At this point he is still not cooperating with police,” Capt. Edgar Martinez said Monday, via The Tennessean. “So whatever statement he puts out is false. We are asking anyone who has info of his whereabouts to contact us and that includes the owner of the Titans.”

Early Sunday, Britt drove a man with non-life-threatening stab wounds to his back to the Jersey City Medical Center. Police at first believed the injured man was Britt’s brother, though they later confirmed the man as a close personal friend of Britt.

In a statement released to The Jersey Journal, Britt’s spokesman said Britt was leaving a dinner cooked by his friends’ parents when he found his friend injured outside.

An NFL spokesman told The Tennessean on Monday they will look into Britt’s latest incident.

Titans Place TE Jared Cook on IR with Torn Rotator Cuff

December 11th, 2012 Matt Loede Posted in Injuries, News

The Tennessee Titans have placed tight end Jared Cook on injured reserve with a torn rotator cuff, ending the season of the player that they voted as their Community Man of the Year.

Cook, who is second on the team with 44 catches, will miss the final three games of the year after tearing the rotator cuff in his shoulder in Sunday’s 27-23 loss to the Colts, and the loss could effect some NFL Lines involving the Titans.

“Jared tore his rotator cuff and he’ll be out for the year, so he’ll be put on IR at some point. It’s very unfortunate to lose another great player after a great catch and being a big part of our offense, and that’s gonna be a big blow for us,” Titans coach Mike Munchak said about the tight end.
