The worst part is that it's not an exaggeration. The Titans have won exactly three of their 20 matchups against the Colts during the last decade. Roasted.
Of of course, there will probably be cheers. He has a ton of fans, just as a player of his caliber should. But he also enjoys boos, or at least gives the impression that he is a fan of boos. T.O. wishes you to yell something every time you come across him, whether it's a boo or cheer. If I could be in that room, I'd certainly be cheering.
But if it's just boos he's greeted with? I'm sure that he'll be okay with it.
The Rams picked Jackie Slater and Orlando Pace -- two fantastic picks in their pick announcements, but I think they missed out on a great opportunity. They could have used an ex-linebacker Mike Jones make a pick. He was the guy who was able to tackle Kevin Dyson near the goal line in Super Bowl 34 and cost the Titans the Lombardi Trophy. This could have been an amazing moment of acrimony in Nashville.
But it leaves the door open for another player to assume the role of the initiator and be a snarky ear to the Titans faithful a la David Akers with Cowboys fans in the past.
It'd be strange if this was from any of the other AFC South reps. Both Texans receiver DeAndre Hopkins and former Jaguars running back Fred Taylor are mostly mild-mannered and calm. In the past, former Colts player Reggie Wayne jumped at the opportunity, though.
I'm guessing that Scobee will be one who grabs Akers"kickers-talking-shit torch" and takes it on. The former Jaguars kicker had a Twitter beef with DeSean Jackson, and madden 23 coins buy has been drinking alongside fans from Duval and making guest appearances on the Jaguars social media accounts.
