Titans Talk - Home for all things Tennessee Titans

[archived]

As I climbed into my truck today leaving work I thought about how miserable it must be in the Titans practice. It is hot out there and has been all day... in fact, it's been like this for a minute... anyhow, I got to thinking about the deaths in recent years and I was actually worried for a moment because the heat index felt as if it was 105+f... Anyways, I went loking to see if Fisher was responding to this and I was relieved to find this...

Now that may not be news to many of you but it is video of Fisher... and it is yesterday's news. I expect todays practice may have been postponed as well. I don't know of course. I just get concerned during camp because it's so hot and some of the guys are not in peak shape and when you factor in this trend of big linemen we've seen over the past several years... (although I beleive that trend may be reversing itself) ... yada, yada, yada... go Titans! :flame:
