Yeah seems like things are headed in the right direction for him and the titans. we'll see if that can continue.
Not at all impressive when you look at play by play and see how rarely he's thrown over the middle. I'll jump on this bandwagon when he does.
There's an aww cmon that you say at the TV while watching him play that's gotta go away before I give Locker any credit.
His ridiculous total of passes under 5 yards have to affect CJ too.
He's relaxing which is great and maybe this is a thing of the past. I plan to watch this afternoon and see for myself.

That's too bad. Feel sorry that he goes down right when he is starting to figure it out.Wow.

Crap...missed it...what happened? :whoosh:
threw the ball, Jet DL hit him in chest ( a bit late but not dirty looking) then he fell back into another Jet DL who hit him somewhat running through. No one launched at him dirty like, nothing too evil or anything. The last hit shouldn't have happened at all and he's sure to get a huge fine. Even if some will call it accidental or incidental it's a good amount of time after he threw and you just can't hit a QB then
He looked rusty.
The great play to nate was sorely underthrown. Roughly five passes in the dirt. First(?) pass was a nice over the middle one to Wright and a nice looking play all around.
He'll have a week to get ready and work out the rust.
The game was over at halftime, for the most part. Damian Williams had 5 catches on two key drives and had no trouble with Cromartie. IMO he was the key and it'll be real interesting next week.
The Titans dropped a zillion balls last year and in the first half they were diving and catching everything. It was really pretty great for Titans fans to see after previous issues.
Wright and Nate made some nice plays but they seemed complimentary. It seemed Damian was "the man" running an obvious route, Jake only looking at him, and throwing it right to him even though Cromartie was there. This is considerably new and worth paying attention to.
Hunter made a diving/falling backward grab that was sweet. I didn't notice him playing much more.
Britt seems done. Before the injury, the Titans were smiling and all happy it was nice to see and I realized I hadn't seen that in far too long a time. He really looks like a cancer now so I don't know how they deal with that. Hunter surely seems to have earned some more time and I'm unsure how they'll work that in. This game was in no way about CJ (Jets DL was excellent) and when ya combine that with Britt out and Locker looking sharp, it's got a different feel.
Hoping Damian continues to get significant work and the team keeps feeding off him; they sorely need someone they can count on.

Uh not quite. Bo Jackson got tackled from behind while he was going full speed.Mr. Retukes said:
Jake Locker was just sandwiched. I doubt he's out for the whole year.

When I first saw it at full speed, my first thought was dislocated hip. IN slo-mo, my thoughts were all but confirmed. The hit wasn't violent enough to break bones, and the leg seemed at an awkward angle at the hip. If I'm right, it isn't necessarily a season ending injury, but it could be. Certainly seems unlikely he'll be back quickly.

Wow. That should be a major suspension. Clearly a late hit and unneccessarily violent hit on a defenseless QB.

Released from hospital. No surgery needed. 4-6 week recovery.
Munchak looked like he had been punched in the stomach when discussing Locker.
It's been such an immediate transformation I've been so surprised so intrigued by it. Before his first season there was plenty of love, but for the most part people have been all over Locker extremely critical and negative. One excellent half (or a game and a half depending how you interpret it) and Locker seemed to have won over millions of Titans fans.
If you search here just a short time ago...I can't recall anyone ever winning over fans in such a short time. It's awesome to see so many sorry he's gone and wishing him well.
I hope he can handle the expectations when he returns

This was just posted today - so does this mean the timeline has been pushed back again to where it was two days ago? Or is this old information?
"Wilkerson got a $15,750 fine for roughing the passer for a hit that injured Titans quarterback Jake Locker. Coples was docked $7,875 for a late hit on Locker on the play."
Not enough.
Given their salaries, awfully small.
I love Griffin, but everyone has also said his hit on Hill was ridiculous. He was only fined 21k.
Maybe we need to ask Suh if these guys were fined enough $

I have Locker in place of Ryan and am not as high on him after seeing him play vs Rams last week.
1) They are a run first team and now have Greene. If they get a lead early I think they go ultra conservative
2) Jax has not allowed a QB to throw for 300 yds all year. (vs Sea: between Wilson and Jackson they gave up 330 yds, 4 tds and 1 rushing td). Obviously their defense is terrible but that was a surprise especially when you realize they have already faced Peyton, Rivers and Luck.

They are dead last in rushing defense. Teams are trampling them in the running game -- no need for anyone to throw for 300 yards.

I like Locker this week, but I have to go with the hot hand and start Russel Wilson.

Locker was outplayed by Kellen Clemens.

When I watched Clemens fumble the game away, that's not what I came away from that game thinking. It wasn't lockers best game but when Tennessee was busy running for 200 yards, they didn't take a lot of chances.Locker was outplayed by Kellen Clemens.
