Strikes again?

**LICraig** · 10-14-2007, 08:51 PM

Looks like he did something to his hammy. Hopefully it's just a pull or strain, but he looked like he was pain when he fell.

**StizePypemype** · 10-14-2007, 08:54 PM

Who's on the cover?

**FelicitaJ** · 10-14-2007, 08:57 PM

Who's on the cover?

I THINK its Vince Young

Wow.....didn't think players that young in their careers got that attention.

yeah, i don't see how a player that's done jack shit in their career can do anything to make a curse go on.

I think they wanted to go with the best possible player to put on the cover that would continue the curse. With the high expectations set for Yougnafter his rookie year, I think he gives EA Sports the best chance to fall short.

Plus he is high risk being a running QB.

They wanted Tomlinson, but he turned them down. Said it was a money thing, NOT a curse thing. So they went and got Young.

If Young just plays poorly this year, I won't call it a part of the curse. He's young. Growing pains will happen. But an injury, I guess, could be considered the curse.

BTW, they just said it's a strained quadricep.

Collins is leading a nice drive here at the end of the game in place of Young. Hopefully he can tie it up.

Spoke too soon. Barber interecepted him in the end zone.

**Rjvpicux** · 10-14-2007, 09:46 PM

Considering more than half the league is consistently dealing with injuries week in and week out, I don't see how that could be called a curse.

Madden could have 10 different covers, and proably 9 of those guys would be hurt at some point in the year.

Reversed! Go Titans!

And I agree 'nut. I never really got into the whole Madden Curse thing. People get hurt all the time in the NFL.

I must say that I do believe in the SI Curse much more than the Madden Curse.

**MpbY5dkR** · 10-14-2007, 09:56 PM

TD Titans! Collins looked great in that drive in place of Young, if anyone cares.

**Sertvfdnhgjk** · 10-14-2007, 10:05 PM

TB-Ten turned into a decent game. Titans tied it up with :42 left I believe. TB marched down the field against one of the top defenses and kicked the field goal with :11 left.

We need a Titans forum.

I don't think he really proved anything that would even make him worthy one way or the other.

The titans are all about their defense. he was able to rush a few in last year, which seemingly made him look good despite mediocre numbers.
