    Ayers made some solid tackles, but he also got juked by Blount, and gave up a big gain to Winslow. He just has a tendency to get sucked into blockers, but I think its a result of taking poor angles. His problems are all correctable with coaching and experience, the athleticism is certainly there.

    i LOVE our linebackers. Ayers doesn't get mentioned often but he's very solid and McCarthy is just a stud.

    even though this post was before yesterday's game I figured i'd still throw my 2 cents in. So far casey matthews has played 11 games and started 3 and posted 16 combined tackles...McCarthy has started 2 and played in 8 and has 33 combined tackles a forced fumble and an INT. Now the playing stats prove your theory to be a bit off and I'm glad we passed up on Matthews for McCarthy. But I can't really blame you for how you felt prior to seeing what McCarthy is doing cos I did like Matthews as well but glad McCarthy is starting off well. But hey, no matter if we're right or wrong about a player we draft's ability, it sure does feel nice to see a good draft pick on a rookie work out.

    Munchak said today that Ruud will be questionable to practice this week, so McCarthy probably gets another start.

    http://blogs.tennessean.com/titans/2011/11/28/titans-injury-report-looking-ahead-to-buffalo/

    "Munchak made it sound as though linebacker Barrett Ruud would need more time to recover from a groin injury. That would open the door for rookie Colin McCarthy to get another start. He racked up a team-leading 10 tackles against the Buccaneers."

    I don't see how anyone could justify Ruud starting at this point.

    Screw Rudd, the dude is clearly not better than Mccarthy and Rudd won't be on the team in 6 weeks give or take so who cares if we hurt his feelings? Hopefully Munchak doesn't.
