There's no stat padding going on for them in the afc south. Titans are 1-3 in their division for some stupid reason.

LOL. The reason why Jon Robinson has gotten a lot of respect around here is that he's not afraid to deal in the free agent market or even during the season. The Titans previous GM usually staid pat on his team regardless and tried only to develop through the draft. We basically got Demarco Murray for a song and he's turned into our biggest offensive threat.

But Robinson cut his teeth in Bob Kraft's Patriots organization. And everyone knows that you perform...or else. The Patriots have no problem trading or cutting someone they think is deadweight, even in the middle of the season. Early on this year, he traded a promising but underperforming 2nd year wide receiver Doriel Green-Beckham. What we got was Dennis Kelly, a backup linesman. At the time, a lot of people around here said "HUH???".

But DGB wasn't coming along as he had hoped. He seems to have gotten some religion at Philly since now he sees that organizations will deal him or cut him if he doesn't improve. And Dennis Kelly has been one of those important tools we've needed again and again. When our starting LT Taylor Lewan got an unsportsmanlike ejection in the first quarter earlier this year, Kelly played the rest of the game and didn't miss a beat. The other message to Lewan was "be smarter on the field or this guy plays" (Coach Mularkey actually said that in a press conference). Lewan had been a lot gotten smarter since then.

Right before our bye week two weeks ago, Parrish Cox, our #2 starting corner was cut after having a disastrous game against Chicago where if their receivers had been any better not dropping multiple passes, we'd have lost that game. We knew that Cox was having a bad year. He'd had some bright spots but overall it wasn't pretty. When Robinson, Mularkey and LeBeau cut him, there was a lot of talk around Nashville about the wisdom of it versus just benching him, especially if someone got hurt down the stretch. The backup corners had been playing poorly too, in some cases by talent, poor technique or inexperience. But they all got religion against Denver and played out of their minds.

So now we face KC who arguably has better passing threats but now the remaining corners believe a little more that they can hold their own. We'll see what happens in the cold of Arrowhead.

That's how the Chiefs ended up with Scott Pioli and Matt Cassel.

Cassel has not taken a meaningful snap yet *knocks on wood*

He is though a big improvement on the backup QB we had before though.
