The Randy Moss Effect

I wrote last Saturday about the possibility of Michael Vick joining the Minnesota Vikings next year to team up with Randy Moss and Adrian Peterson. Scratch that. Randy Moss has found a new home in Tennessee. I don't condone Randy cussing out the Vikings caterer or drooling over the Patriots organization in a press conference, but couldn't the Vikings have just talked to him about it? Is it ever a good idea to cut a hall of fame receiver you just traded a 3rd round pick for? Christmas has come early for the Titans and Chris Johnson. No more 8 man fronts stuffing the line to stop the run. Everyone knows Chris only needs a quarter of a step to break off a 60 yard run at any given time. Randy will help stretch the field and give the Titans big play capability they've never had. There are some concerns about Randy's attitude (The Titans are his 3rd team in 5 weeks) but I am confident Jeff Fisher can control the situation. Let's not forget Vince Young has a pretty strong arm and excels at the play action pass. You always have to respect Chris Johnson so Randy will definitely have some opportunities to do big things. The AFC playoff picture now looks like this:

1. New England Patriots
2. New York Jets
3. Pittsburgh Steelers
4. Baltimore Ravens
5. Tennessee Titans
6. Kansas City Chiefs

The verdict is in, Randy Moss helps the Tennessee Titans get into the playoffs and re-shapes the landscape of the AFC knocking the Indianapolis Colts out of the playoffs. Could the Titans end up in Dallas in February? We shall see.
