FHSrebel27 Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 "Twisted knee." "Doctor not concerned." "Precautionary MRI." How in hades does that turn into a torn ACL?!?! This report comes from the Nashville City Paper and TitansRadio.com. I don't see how he avoids a season ending surgery. Rocky Boiman has looked good at camp so far and will do a fine job stepping into the starting OLB position but I was looking forward to Sirmon having a GREAT year. Grrrrr.... Coach Fisher will address the situation this afternoon in about an hour after special teams practice.

FHSrebel27 Posted August 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Ugh, this is just horrible. He was going to have such a goooood year and now it looks like he's gone for the whole season. Maybe the 2nd opinion will be a bit brighter. Hearing him describe the injury, ew, makes my knee hurt. Pete was such a leader on defense, called on the signals on the field. That goes now to my boy Calmus and to Keith Bullock along with Boiman. Well, let's hope this is our only big injury this preseason! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEgoHasLanded Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 He got a second opinion...its the same as the first....see ya. The titans have lost a lot...you all might not think they have...but losing guys like Robaire Smith, Kearse, and that Wr are hard to replace. Cheer up...at least you didn't lose David Boston and Ricky Williams as well as your best special teams player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FHSrebel27 Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Smith and McCarriens... that's it. Kearse is already getting hurt up at Philly. This injury to Sirmon doesn't help but Boiman will step up and do just fine. And Calmus is already handling the leadership role on the field (as far as calling the plays, etc) just fine. The Titans are fine. They're going to have a great season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCS03 Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 FHS, I agree. Smith is our biggest loss and Calico will make up for McCareins. The Titans will be just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEgoHasLanded Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 But is it enough to win the AFC and are you even the best in your division? I guess it depends on what you set your goals as: winning season, playoffs, afc champions, super bowl? P.S. The loss of McCareins will affect Mason, I believe last year was his best year and he's not getting any younger...I live Calico and Bennett a lot, but I dont think they are exactly solid week in and week out players...just my humble opinion. (Keep in mind, I dont care what the Titans do, I'm non bias...please remember that when responding). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCS03 Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Derrick Mason is not getting any younger but he is in his 20's, in his prime, and coming off the best season of his life. I wouldnt say he on his way down hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FHSrebel27 Posted August 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Mason has looked great at camp. Bennett, you'll see, is a solid player week in and week out. He's looked great at camp, too. Calico hasn't dropped a ball in a while and will be real good if he can keep that up. To answer your question though... yes, it is enough to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. I do think we're better than the Colts. We'll be able to find out soon enough. Sirmon will go under the knife tomorrow... best wishes to him for a speedy and full recovery! Can't wait to see him on the field in '05!
