Titans might get Kevin Mawae back after all

He was there for all the games this year, he only missed the playoff game vs the Ravens in 08 too I think.

 

I've thought the same things about Mawae. I'm glad I'm not the only one who was picking up on that. I understand Kevin is a HOF and is a huge figure in the league but he's been a d!psh!+ every time I've seen him talk about Vince.

 

You don't think Vince wasn't an arrogant, unproven kid? He gave up on his team when they needed a leader. I think Vince is leaps and bounds better than he was and has the potential to be the final solution, however, I think his demeanor in the past hasn't helped much in the locker room. He has to earn trust and respect from his teammates, including Mawae who is arguably one of the best O-lineman the league has ever seen.

 

Weren't some of Kevin's criticisms as simple as VY needs to learn the playbook? I understood them to be that often Vince wouldn't know the playcall.

 

VY has won the lockeroom as a rookie on the bench, then again of the field his rookie season, and again last year. I don't really think VY has a problem winning the lockeroom. He's a natural leader, unlike Kerry Collins, who I don't think has ever really won a lockeroom from what I can tell. The key is will your teammates follow you to victory when they have nothing left to give, inspite of the first three quarters, and step up for you. VY has proven that he can bring them back on numerous occasions, and I can see that the team is willing to go the distance for him based on all the comeback wins. They not only believe, they get it done.

I don't know much about Mawae and VY, but he belongs on this team because CJ got 2,000 yards, and if he doesn't believe in the VY magic by now, there's no convincing him. I have to believe that he too now believes. He's been a witness to it.

 

And that's two posts your respond with profanity and trying to make personal. If you're unable to respond with a counter argument or counter point so be it; dont make it personal. You lose whatever credibility you have by resorting to that.
Also please watch the language, my kid reads these posts too.

now to business; I'm not saying that Mawae wasn't right in his criticism initially of Young; but I am saying that his personality is pretty domineering. I assure you VY can deal with Mawae if he comes back.
Does it matter what any of us think or why Mawae has been critical? The point of the post is just the logic behind the decision to let him go.

 

His criticism wasn't just for Vince, but for Roos as well. He critiqued Vince for not knowing the plays and calling the wrong plays in the huddle, and he critiqued Roos for being the smartest guy on the line but not saying anything when Vince calls the wrong plays. IMO, it was nothing malicious (I heard the interview) and both guys needed to be called out for that.

 

If Mawae is stunting Vince's growth, then off with his head let him walk! Vince Young means more to our success than Mawae does. Plus he's like 260, little man for a Center.
