If you are starting to look at playoffs, I like the final stretch for Britt

WK 11- 16

@HOU

JAC

IND

HOU

@KC

Worth not going knee-jerk imho.

 

[damageinc]

I Agree if you have Britt , wait and see . Maybe Fisher over looks this becasue of the talent ( he has not in the past but ya never know) But atleast wait until tonight and see what the Titans say. Edit Kenny Britt - WR - TitansTitans coach Jeff Fisher clarified Friday that Kenny Britt's absence from practice was "excused."Britt is apparently denying that he hit anyone in Friday morning's bar brawl, as Fisher said he's giving his best receiver "the benefit of the doubt." Still, Britt's snaps were already threatening to be reduced with Justin Gage back healthy, and Fisher could still deactivate him if the Titans find more evidence of Britt's involvement in the incident. With Kerry Collins at quarterback, this is looking like a fantasy situation to avoid.Oct. 22 - 2:29 p.m. ET

IWorth not going knee-jerk imho.

 

[BobbyLayne]

USA Today is now reporting:

Titans Coach Jeff Fisher said Britt was excused from practice. As for Britt's involvement in the fight, Fisher said the receiver was "at the wrong place at the wrong time" but that he's giving him the "benefit of the doubt."

Doesn't make me feel any better, but I am hoping they have been game planning Britt into the mix all week, and are reluctant to change it now.No? Yeah, I don't really believe that either.

whiny rant nobody cares about:

plugged him in the last three weeks, big bonus...now this week I have 2 WRs on a bye and V-Jax stashed, I absolutely needed him...HELLO, Harry Douglas!

 

[Neofight]

Doesn't sound good from the witness reports:

"According to witnesses, Britt began striking Pointer," Aaron said. "Security at the club as well as a witness then pulled Britt and Miser off of Pointer."

Contacted by The Tennessean on Friday, Pointer said he had to go to the emergency room to get four stitches above his left eye.

Asked if he planned to press charges, Pointer said there's a "good chance" and "I am looking for a lawyer to pursue it."

Pointer said Britt and Miser were involved in another fight with another group of people. Pointer said he wasn't involved in that fight, but Britt and Miser thought he was.

"Kenny came in and pointed right in my face and I pushed his hand out of my face," Pointer said. "Then 20 minutes later I was standing at the bar and guy came in from out of the crowd and sucker-punched me, and that is when Kenny came in and jumped on top of me, too.

"Kenny sent the other guy over to hit me, and once he hit me Kenny came over. Someone told me he was hitting me with bottles, I don't know because I was defending myself. But I know Kenny was hitting me upside my head."

 

[duaneok66]

he's done . . .

 

[RICK ROMO]

Is he a thug or just stupid? Or both?

 

[duaneok66]

I think he's just stupid . . .

 

[todisco1]

he's done . . .

For good?

 

[netnalp]

That Britt is the only one being accused, makes me think it's more truthful. If Pointer was looking for a payday he'd probably say both CJ & Britt hit him.

Chris Johnson was at the scene of Kenny Britt's Friday morning bar brawl, but reportedly acted as a peacemaker.

The fight broke out between Harold Pointer, 26, and Bradford Miser, 29. "According to witnesses, Britt began striking Pointer," Tennessee Metro Police spokesman Don Aaron said. "Security at the club as well as a witness then pulled Britt and Miser off of Pointer." Said Pointer of Johnson, "He wasn’t involved in it at all. He was like a model citizen, trying to get us to squash it, trying to tell us to let it go." Pointer plans to press charges against Britt.

Updating previous items, Titans coach Jeff Fisher was noncommittal when asked about Kenny Britt's playing status for Week 7 on Friday.

Jim Wyatt of the Nashville Tennessean reported earlier that Britt's absence was "excused." We've got Fisher's full quotes now, and Wyatt's interpretation was done with rose-colored glasses, to say the least. "I haven't ruled out the possibility of him not playing," said Fisher. "It really depends on the information I'm able to obtain before kickoff. That's really all I can say." Fisher added that Britt was held out of Friday's practice "so as not to create an additional distraction." We don't think he's going to play against the Eagles.

 

[duaneok66]

as a Titan - after he gets suspended some other team will latch onto him - like the Bengals . . .

 

[damageinc]

From reading this I think he is so done with the Titans.

http://www.tennessean.com/article/20101022...ed+in+bar+fight

Titans wide receiver Kenny Britt took part in a bar brawl early Friday morning in downtown Nashville, and one of the men involved said there’s a “good chance” he will press charges against the second-year pro.

The incident occurred at 1:45 a.m. at Club Karma off Lower Broad, according to police. Witnesses identified Britt as being involved in the fight and striking another man.

Britt, 22, has not been arrested or charged in what Metro Police spokesman Don Aaron called an “open misdemeanor assault investigation.’’

Police said a fight between Harold Pointer, 26, and Bradford Miser, 29, broke out in the bar area. Witnesses said Miser punched Pointer, and the two men fell to the ground. Britt allegedly joined in and hit Pointer.

“According to witnesses, Britt began striking Pointer,’’ Aaron said. “Security at the club as well as a witness then pulled Britt and Miser off of Pointer.’’

Contacted by The Tennessean on Friday, Pointer said he had to go to the emergency room to get four stitches above his left eye.

Asked if he planned to press charges, Pointer said there's a "good chance" and “I am looking for a lawyer to pursue it.’’

Pointer said Britt and Miser were involved in another fight with another group of people. Pointer said he wasn’t involved in that fight, but Britt and Miser thought he was.

“Kenny came in and pointed right in my face and I pushed his hand out of my face,” Pointer said. “Then 20 minutes later I was standing at the bar and guy came in from out of the crowd and sucker-punched me, and that is when Kenny came in and jumped on top of me, too.

“Kenny sent the other guy over to hit me, and once he hit me Kenny came over. Someone told me he was hitting me with bottles, I don’t know because I was defending myself. But I know Kenny was hitting me upside my head.’’

Reading this I think he is so done with the Titans.

Miser told police he struck Pointer because he had been elbowed in the throat.

Pointer said club security “put everybody in handcuffs” and took them to a downstairs room then they let Britt go. Britt was not present when police officers arrived and has not been interviewed by police.

“He was in the fight,” Pointer said. “I can almost understand if he had a problem to send someone else over to do it and him act like he had nothing to with it. But he was full-fledged in a fight. He was swinging, he was punching.’’

Pointer also said Titans running back Chris Johnson was present with another group, but was not involved in the fight and was trying to be a peacemaker at the end.

“He wasn’t involved in it at all,” Pointer said. “He was like a model citizen, trying to get us to squash it, trying to tell us to let it go.’’

What's Britt's rap sheet? I know he had warrants for tickets earlier in the year and this will be battery, perhaps assault too.

just a gut feeling - you're talking about a guy that wasn't in good graces with his coach to begin with (lack of focus) now this . . .

 

[Tybeeman]

Hello Mr Nail, let me introduce you to Mr. Hammer. Lack of focus, maturity have been issues with Britt. This certainly doesn't help

 

[BobbyLayne]

just a gut feeling - you're talking about a guy that wasn't in good graces with his coach to begin with (lack of focus) now this . . .

Fair enough...and FWIW I'm inclined to agree with you.Just seems like a gut check and a flat declarative prediction are quite a ways apart.



re: an earlier point you made about his intelligence, I think you're on the money:

Think about someone who racks up three speeding tickets or violations in his home state, and is so irresponsible he doesn't pay them. Is it not common knowledge that if you don't pay vehicular tickets, they will issue a bench warrant - every #######g time, and in every g-d jurisdiction? Now tack on the same individual may have been involved in an altercation in a public venue. Is it not common knowledge that if you punch someone, you will likely be charged with assault? JFC

Kenny scored a 21 on the Wonderlic - sadly, that is an above average score for a WR - but man is he stoopid (as in lacking common sense).

I don't know how Fisher or Adams will handle this. I know what I would do, and what I would like to see happen: I want the punk to lose his job.

But this is billion dollar NFL, and if they can couch it in terms of the investigation is ongoing or whatever else, I think if they can find a way to keep him on the fied, they will.

Earlier this year in a guppy league (group of dad's from my daughters preschool), somebody dropped Braylon on the afternoon of his D.U.I. arrest. The #1 WW priority cherry picked on Sunday morning, and has had a productive WR freebie ever since.

http://blogs.tennessean.com/titans/2009/08...ntract-numbers/

Titans receiver Kenny Britt signed a five-year deal over the weekend, worth just over $12 million and with roughly $6 million in guarantees.

Here's a look at the base salaries for the first-round pick:

* 2009: $310,000

* 2010: $395,000

* 2011: $575,000

* 2012: $755,000

* 2013: $897,000

Looks like they eat 6 Million no matter what if they cut him, but save on his contract going up.

 

[Aznflyer14]

I waived him prior to this season due to his "knucklehead" factor and recent infraction on bar brawl doesn't make it better. He may have talent to be No. 1 WR but I cannot put up with his immaturity and plus Titans' offense is run-oriented.

 

[BobbyLayne]

transcript of Coach Fisher today:

On Kenny Britt getting into a late night incident last night:

"This is what I know; I’m still of course gathering facts. He did not participate in practice because I excused him from practice while I am still trying to obtain some information. My understanding at this point is that he was at the wrong place at the wrong time, there was an altercation, but he was one of those that was trying to break it up. That’s my understanding right now, and I’m still gathering facts. I haven’t ruled out the possibility of him not playing. It really depends on the information I am able to obtain before kickoff. That’s really all I can say."

On what Kenny Britt’s involvement was in the incident:

"I'm gathering facts right now, and again I’m giving Kenny the benefit of the doubt. Nevertheless, it didn’t need to be a distraction on the practice field. The team is aware of it. I discussed it with the team and the rest of the team was certainly going to practice today and they practiced very well."

On if it’s frustrating to hear that Kenny Britt was involved in an incident after he seemed to have turned the corner on the field:

"Kenny is a good kid. He’s working hard. He’s really come on the last few weeks and I’d be surprised if he would put himself in a position to jeopardize that—but again, I’m still gathering facts."

On if Kenny Britt was injured in the incident:

"No."

On if he learns that Kenny Britt’s involvement in the incident was more than it initially appears:

"Then I will take whatever appropriate action that I feel I need to take, I will take."

On if he is concerned that this is not the first minor incident involving Kenny Britt:

"No, I think he’s made strides, so let’s just wait and I’ll sort this thing out and I can comment on the big picture at some other point."

On if he thinks he’ll be able to sort the Kenny Britt situation out before kickoff on Sunday:

"I think I have a pretty good chance of doing that, yeah."

On if other players were with Kenny Britt last night when the altercation took place:

"I’m not going to go into those details."

id imagine pointer has cj on his fantasy team

There was video of Vince Young attacking somebody and throwing punches in the office of a strip club. And he got nothing. I don't think we can just assume Britt is done here.

Refresh my memory...did VY come clean right away, or did he deny then backpeddle? I honestly don't remember.If Britt represented one version, and multiple witnesses contradict him *(e.g., Fisher thinks he lied), I think the lame attempt at cover-up makes it worse than the actual offense.

 

[damageinc]

The difference I guess is that Britt is in trouble alot and this is a pattern. If this was Britt's first issue there would probally be little to it.

There was video of Vince Young attacking somebody and throwing punches in the office of a strip club. And he got nothing. I don't think we can just assume Britt is done here.

 

[netnalp]

Vy's was a class C assault, misdemeanor. Don't know yet what Britt's will be if charged.

 

[Ralph's Plantation]

Let's cut to the chase -- would you drop Britt immediately he you could pick up Justin Gage?

 

[TheFanatic]

Doesn't sound good from the witness reports:

"According to witnesses, Britt began striking Pointer," Aaron said. "Security at the club as well as a witness then pulled Britt and Miser off of Pointer."

Pointer said Britt and Miser were involved in another fight with another group of people. Pointer said he wasn't involved in that fight, but Britt and Miser thought he was.

"Kenny sent the other guy over to hit me, and once he hit me Kenny came over. Someone told me he was hitting me with bottles, I don't know because I was defending myself. But I know Kenny was hitting me upside my head."

Witnesses? The guy they quote the most is the guy who is saying Britt punched him. The same guy who said he is looking for a lawyer. The guy is looking for a payday. Maybe it went down the way this Pointer said it did, but I need to see some people corroborate that. Maybe someone who is not saying in the same breath, "Britt hit me," and, "any lawyers in the house?" The only other "witnesses seem to be discussed in the most generic terms. And cut him? Are you kidding me? Vince Young was video taped sucker punching a guy from 5 feet. Remember Vince had some severe issues too. Remember them wondering if the guy was going to commit suicide and saying he might just walk away from football entirely? Oh, that's right. It happened more than 11 months ago so no one in the Shark Pool outside of Titans homers remember that.

It would cost them something like $6 mill to cut the guy. He's a former first round pick and their only legit big playmaker outside of CJ.

Lack of focus and allegedly punched a guy in a bar. Alleged by a guy that said he wants to sue Britt? Seriously? Whole lotta guys in here need to get to an orthopedist to have their knees looked at. I'm guessing lots of guys in this thread kicked themselves in the mouth while sitting down as they read through this.

 

[TheFanatic]

Let's cut to the chase -- would you drop Britt immediately he you could pick up Justin Gage?

If Britt is suspended, Gage might have some value. But he's a WR3 on just about any team in the league, on a team that doesn't throw the ball much. Barely a bye week fill in...

Just dropped him and picked up Meachum.

Britt had 700 yards and 3 TD's, averaged just under 17 yards a catch, last year over 16 games (6 starts), on a run first team that went 0-6, benched grey beard and brought in Vince Young who isn't exactly Steve Young. He looked sick as a rookie. As a Rams home, I would love to see them cut him. He would have a new team within a week.

I don't mean this in a mean-spirited, snarky way, but you cannot be asking that question if you have watched him play the last year and a half.He is a major talent. He's not automatically going to develop into a stud WR because he is on a team that is heavily run-oriented. That said, there has never been any question about which Titans receiver has the most potential.It takes a lot to succeed as a WR in the NFL. Talent + opportunity + running correct routes + blocking downfield + hard work + focus.Kenny Britt has the physical tools, and despite showing up overweight, works his way back into an opportunity. He does a lot of things correctly on the football field. But none of that means anything if he lacks the work ethic or focus.Going need more info before we really know how this will play out. Reading through Coach Fisher's quotes, I would say he def left open the possibility #18 won't be playing this weekend. On the other hand, if it comes out that he wasn't an instigator or prime participant, I think his recent production will continue.

OK. So this year for PPR redraft purposes, how high do you see Britt -- top 30 WR?

 

[BobbyLayne]

If I knew the outcome of Jeff Fisher's fact finding mission, I wouldn't be posting on a FF board - I'd be buying tonight's winning Mega Millions ticket. HOWEVER, for the sake of discussion, let's say zero impact from this incident.

Britt is on a nice run, but he probably won't average a TD per week. This is the classic 'Would you rather have the WR3 from the Colts or the WR2 from the Giants or the WR1 from the Titans' (e.g., pass happy vs. balanced vs. run oriented).

It is what it is - Britt is a nice WR3, but because of the offensive scheme and the level of talent at QB, not much more for this year.

 

[damageinc]

AGree Britt is (or was ?) the classic WR3. steady level of production. Much like Dwayne bowe was a few years ago. You got alot of 7 for 55 games from Bowe. Steady 7-10 points a week. Classic WR3 level stuff. Your getting some yards and a TD every week. the only thing is its easier to keep up the receptions and yards but its hard to keep getting a TD every week. In that offense Britt is a 4-45 guy every week and you pray for the TD ( or a 5-82 week) . 6-12 points a week depending on the TD.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

It kind of sounds like britt's friend was in the fight and britt either jumped in or was jumping in to pull them off each other.

Not sure why you seem up in arms over this, but the article clearly quotes police spokesperson Don Aaron stating the following: "According to witnesses, Britt began striking Pointer," Aaron said. "Security at the club as well as a witness then pulled Britt and Miser off of Pointer." It seems clear that this would indicate other people (besides Pointer) were in the bar and witness to this. Also, you state witnesses being mentioned in "generic terms"; I am not sure if you are expecting names, but that is not how this works.

As for what to do with Britt that is not my issue as I do not have him rostered; I was merely passing along some information from the authorities that seems pertinent. Do with it as you will.

he's done . . .

For good?

as a Titan - after he gets suspended some other team will latch onto him - like the Bengals . . .

Haynesworth stomped on Gurode's head and remained a Titan under Fisher

Titans receiver Kenny Britt signed a five-year deal over the weekend, worth just over $12 million and with roughly $6 million in guarantees.

Here's a look at the base salaries for the first-round pick:

* 2009: $310,000

* 2010: $395,000

* 2011: $575,000

* 2012: $755,000

* 2013: $897,000

Looks like they eat 6 Million no matter what if they cut him, but save on his contract going up.

I don't mean to sidetrack but that salary stinks in the NFL world

I can honestly say as a Rutgers homer I'm shocked at how Britt has comported himself in the NFL. I don't think he's a thug, despite his issues. There was no indication of any of this during his 3 years at Rutgers. He was a really hard worker, never showboated despite his successes, was a great teammate. He was suspended once, along with Anthony Davis, for undisclosed reasons, which rumor has it involved marijuana. But as far as aggressive behavior, associating with the wrong crowd, poor work ethic, all that has cropped up since he entered the NFL.

It's hard to believe someone could go from being the consumate teammate and team leader to this. Schiano and staff at RU must have done a great job of keeping Kenny focused, and now doesn't have (or want) that support system in place.

I wish I could say that he's going to grow up one of these days (he was the youngest player in the league last year), but it looks like he's in need of some tough love if he's going to shape up. Very disappointing. Rutgers prides itself on developing hard-working, team-oriented players like Ray Rice, Devin McCourty, etc. and he's been tough to watch.

Britt was the youngest player in the NFL last year I believe. I don't he is a bad guy, just an immature star with a big bank account. Recipe for disaster at times.

Are you forgetting about his signing bonus? $6 million guaranteed does not stink.

Agreed. Fisher has really dealt with knuckleheads over the years and he will probably make him mature. I could however see a suspension from the team and maybe from the NFL.Fantasy wise: Drop him for say a BMW or better. He is dead weight right now, but with his talent and how VY was zoning in on him, he could be very valuable down the stretch. B- Hold if u canI wonder if I should drop him for Steve Johnson. If Steve scores again this week against Balt(name recognition), owners WILL try to trade for him.So this is what excites me these days? Drop Kenny "No Fightin in the Club, Gimme 20 Dollaz" Britt for Steve Johnson?

Going to a club on a thursday night on a short week? I can see maybe going out on a friday because there is no practice on saturday. whats the thought process of a guy who can make millions playing football. ill go out get drunk and get in a fight with someone....

As far as I know he's deadweight for 1 week. Dropping seems short sighted unless you play in a league with 14 man rosters.

What's Britt's rap sheet? I know he had warrants for tickets earlier in the year and this will be battery, perhaps assault too.

A meeting with Mr. Goodell, and perhaps a suspension, should be coming his way.

Virtually the same deal Hakeem Nicks got slotted with, $12-12.5M over 5.It would stink, but I could make that work.

Anybody have any updates on if he's going to play or not tomorrow? Looked around and couldn't find any current new.
