The Titans used a 1st round pick on LenDale White and he responded by ballooning up like a puffer fish. Obviously, he isn't keeping himself in peak shape, which is shameful for a professional athlete. He's averaging a meager 3.5 ypc AND is fumbling too much. I don't know what I'd do if I was in the Titans' position. But, I would definitely think about cutting White because his weight shows that he isn't committed to being his best to help out the team.
Speaking of cutting things, can we stop calling TO right before the kicker is attempting a FG? The Broncos called one to screw with Rod Bironas just before halftime. Bironas missed the one that didn't count, then nailed the one that did count. Mike Shanahan cost his team 3 points (assuming Bironas wasn't affected by the calling of the timeout, which I can't be sure of). Maybe he'll think twice before he wastes more of everyone's time the next time there's a FG attempt against his team late in a half.

Were I a kicker, I would do my best to miss the kick if I knew time-out had been called. And then nail the real one. Maybe if the coach looks like an idiot, he'll stop participating in the nonsense.
Easier said than done, though. It's hard to be sure that the play won't actually count. And missing on purpose can throw off future attempts.
