Peter Sirmon Reportedly Tears ACL


Recommended Posts

"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.

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!

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.

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).

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!

    • I think Gordonsville wins the region but comes up short vs south pitt in Rd3  
    • Who’s going to lead the pirates offense this year?
    • Pickett is good, may have a Mr. Football like season if he’s used correctly. One of the best teams Marion has fielded in a while. I think they go 12-1 and loose to ER.  ER has better players at almost every position. If they play discipline this year, they win soundly. If they don’t though…Marion could sneak away with it.
    • I’m betting the house on the Indians. Pickett and Co will be the only team to challenge the Indians in the East. Huntingdon can in the West. I think Brooks goes 15-0 and has the first perfect season and state championship in ER history.
    • Sounds like a great opportunity has opened up for the football team.  With the head coach of the diamond rebels making it official and quitting this week, there should be some room for the gridiron guys to benefit. I assume the administration won’t continue paying six figures to two former coach that quit to continue teaching drivers Ed. Thats pretty good money that could be redirected toward the football program. Also, with the more recent policies of pushing kids to only play one sport, abolishing the baseball program altogether would help on Friday nights in the fall. There is some decent speed on that baseball team that should’ve been playing on Fridays IMO. I’m not sure if anybody would really miss that baseball program anyway with it being across town from the school. The liability of letting players actually use the facilities could also be mitigated with closing the program. That liability seems to be a really big issue for 825. Anyway, it seems like a great opportunity is available.
