First Quarter MVPs/Busts

O MVP- Hass
O Bust - CJ
D MVP - Finnegan
D Bust - I could go 2 ways here. McGrath has done nothing. But I'm going to go Shaun Smith. The guy runs his mouth all day but what plays has he really made. He seems like he'd be extremely annoying, even as a teammate.

 

you're right, should've been a 2 yard loss, but his panty-like tackle almost let that chump runningback get the first down.

 

i voted for everyone cause they're all winners in my book.

 

Hass is far and away the offensive, probably team MVP. I didn't know what to expect... thought he'd be better than what we've had but didn't expect him to play like Brees and Brady.

Nate has been overlooked because of MH and Britt, but he's finally looking like what we hoped he'd be. Agree with TJ that MH is making everyone around him better.

Regardless of the awful run blocking, CJ has to be the biggest bust so far. I don't think it will last, but he isn't worth 1/100th of his salary right now. Amano is a VERY close 2nd.

Klug has been fantastic... but Finny has been even better. Heck - I could go down the line on defense and give props... almost everyone is contributing. Hard not to share credit with Gray. We've got some decent parts, but the unit as a whole is what is working so well.

 

I think the Offensive MVP and busts are self-evident, MH and CJ.


Defense: nobody's been All-pro, nobody's been a slouch either. And that marks a solid all-around team defense.

 

Offensive MVP - Hasselbeck
Defensive MVP - Finnegan

Offensive Bust - Three way tie between Johnson/Amano/Harris
Defensive Bust - Ummmm... Hope?

Overall MVP - Hasselbeck
Overall Bust - Our running game (aka Johnson/Amano/Harris)

 

I did. I also didn't think he'd be an impact player regardless of health.

Hopefully he can prove me wrong for more than just 2-3 games.


Contrary to what a few posters here think- I've got no problems pointing out when I was wrong. It's just a seldom occurrence.

 

Amano is not a bust. We knew he sucked. We had little expectations of him. CJ is the bust by numbers alone so far. It think he'll get better, but he's got some ground to make up.

 

Just give him credit for a nice play. Almost getting the first down is the same thing as not getting the first down.

 

Offensive MVP - Matty H...no explanation necessary here

Offensive Bust - Eugene Amano...now I know that I am a CJ stan, but it seems our run blocking has taken a nose dive ever since he took over for Mawae at center. I for one am all for moving Harris back to center and starting Velasco. CJ gets a pass for the first 4 weeks because this could be considered his training camp. He won't get a pass on the steelers because Arian Foster just racked up 142 yards on them. He has to deliver this week. He needs to stop hesitating and get back to that one cut and up field scheme we are so accustomed to seeing....

Defensive MVP - Cortland Finnegan, the guy has been playing absolutely lights out. He isthat type of guy you love him if he is on your team and hate him if he isn't. I, for one, am glad to have him in Titans Blue.

Defensive Bust - Gerald McRath. Point blank the guy hasn't been the same since he was suspended for PEDs. This was the guy that was supposed to replace Tully(he didn't seem like he even wanted to be here), but he just isn't living up to it considering he was inactive for last weeks game. Chris Hope is a close second but IDK if you can get down on a guy for injuries. A broken forearm isn't from not properly being prepared and conditioned, it is just bad luck IMHO
