@allyzay: After Schwartz got hired in Detroit, the Titans completely ignored Gregg Williams who was out there and decided to instead promote Cecil from within.
Looking now at how completely LOST the secondary looks, and how well the Saints defense has looked this season, I can't help but wonder 'why, why, why?'
And you can't even really blame the rookies either, as even our all-pro safeties, Hope and Griffin, are routinely out of place, missing tackles, biting on fakes, etc (and have been all year).
And I'm tired of Fisher's insistence to stay with Kerry Collins. Contrary to every official statement the team has made over the past 5 weeks, he simply is NOT the same QB he was last year. I don't know why, maybe its b/c he's a year older, but his reactions look slow, his judgement is HIGHLY questionable, and he's had difficulty all season long of simply HOLDING ON TO THE BALL!?! Not that the QB even matters when your WRs can't seem to catch the little brown ball that the league routinely uses.
I don't really have a joke here, but I don't think I've ever seen a performance this horrid by a secondary. Tennessee's DBs might as well not be on the field.
Oh yeah. We have become one of the more consistently disruptive secondaries in the league. Sharper, Greer, and Porter are playing at a Pro Bowl level. But you gotta remember that we're only one year removed from Jason David and Josh Bullocks.
In 2007, a site whose name escapes me did a quantitative analysis on how many yards cornerbacks gave up per attempt. Jason David gave up more yards per attempt than a hole in the zone. Just saying his name makes me want to set babies on fire.
It's crazy considering the personnel in the Titans defensive backfield, but it appeared they didn't care all that much about stopping the Patriots. #berniekosar
From the SI 1984 cover story on Dan Marino and Bernie Kosar:
Both have sunbursts of curly hair, although Marino's is caramel-colored and thick as macaroni, and Kosar's is dark and tight. Marino worries about losing his because his father is almost bald. As a boy, says Kosar's mother, Geri, he went through a period when he "brushed it by the hour, trying to straighten it out." He now makes the best of it, especially in Miami where, together with eyes as dark as a raccoon's and a name you can't quite pin down, it gives him a handsome ethnic look that attracts invitations for appearances from the area's active Jewish community. "When they find out he's a Czechoslovakian Catholic, they're usually disappointed," says former Miami publicist Ron Steiner. "But we've had a lot of 'em say, 'Send him anyway. He looks.' "

Not to be pedantic (he has half the Slavic nations in his ethnic background) but Kosar is a Hungarian surname. Poor bastard could have been 100% Slovak and saddled with a brutal last name like mine.
Also, while I don't have any inside information, as a Clevelander I can tell you this is completely unsurprising. His wife took him to the cleaners in the divorce (she alleged he had drug problems), he ran several small companies that once made a lot of money (including a greeting card company that was an NFL licensee) but had seemingly fallen on hard times, and then the Arena league went belly-up. (That last one was probably a particularly unwise investment, but they actually drew pretty well here.)
I could make a joke about an education from the U not being worth much, but it's kind of sad seeing one of your childhood heroes destroyed like this.

Reportedly, Hitler felt the same way.

I'm still dealing with the Chicago massacre yesterday. Totally saw it coming- and the Indians were still up 7-4 at that point.
