Well I officially feel like a six-year-old kid on Christmas Eve as we lead up to Randy Moss's debut in a Tennessee Titans uniform.
We won't know for sure how this acquisition will turn out for the Titans, but we'll get a decent idea after tomorrow's game against the Dolphins.
It may be a week longer before we get the opportunity to see how Vince Young does working with Moss, but Kerry Collins is still very much capable of running the offense effectively. We've already seen that once this season against the Jaguars on Monday Night Football.
Moss made his first official interview as a Titan a few days ago and kept it short and sweet. He really didn't have too much interest in talking Super Bowl. Instead he gave the cliche answer of "taking it one game at a time".
There's absolutely nothing wrong with that answer. I think it's important that Moss stays away from negative publicity during his time in Tennessee. No matter what his stats are, if the Titans are successful then he'll be successful as a future player in the NFL.
Moss isn't a young man anymore and the reality is only one team claimed him. Just one and he's a future Hall of Famer. That blows my mind, but clearly teams were afraid of him starting trouble inside the locker room.
They face the Dolphins tomorrow, a team that can't be taken lightly. Much like the Titans themselves, the Dolphins have suffered some tough losses that should've been wins.
With that said, I see no reason why the Titans don't win this game. They're facing a quarterback in Chad Pennington who hasn't taken a snap since early last season.
Hopefully the simple presence of Moss will open things up more for Chris Johnson. On the defensive side of the ball I just don't see the Titans giving up much to the Dolphins.
Expect another close game but in the end I see a modest stat line for Moss in his debut, but a win by the Titans.
