We'll very likely have a 3 way tie for the cellar of the AFC South this time next week.....all one game out of first.

As much as we rag on Cushing and Joseph, they are the best ILB and CB on the team. Even before the injuries to McKinney and Jackson. Tells you how bad this roster is.
Serious concussions can take that long or longer. In hockey Crosby missed like a whole damn season for a concussion once. Earlier this season Luke Kuechly missed something like 4 weeks to a concussion.
Here's looking at you Hal, Johnson, Moore, and Bouye. https://www.profootballfocus.com/bl...ns-for-second-straight-under-hc-dan-campbell/
I remember commenting that they did not have enough good linebackers on this roster. Wondered why they didn't go after Brandon Spikes, but then he went and messed up and got suspended.
I'm sure people will just blame Rick Smith. Of course, maybe that would be okay because I think McNair would find out quickly that any worth a damn GM candidate would want the right to fire BOB and bring in their own head coach along with making their own roster moves.
So long as approval of BOB isn't a requirement for the job I'd be all for it. Personally I'm for cleaning house entirely. BOB gone, Smith gone, Godsey gone, RAC gone, every QB on the roster not named Savage gone. It's time to hit the reset button and ragequit.
Lance Zerlein was insinuating on the radio this morning (via some source he has with ties to people inside the organization) that McNair is already pissed and is looking at this Titans game very much as a touchstone moment. If they embarass themselves again he seemed to think it wouldn't be surprising if McNair just totally cleaned house and got rid of Rick Smith, O'Brien, everyone. Not mid-season, I imagine.
Man, It's hard going into a game wanting to lose but cmon Texans just this one time leave the biggest turd on the field possible.
