Titans hope Bears game is not rehearsal

Preseason game number 3. The infamous "dress rehearsal" game. The only preseason game worth watching if you want to see what your team will look like week 1. This could be a scary thought for the Tennessee Titans, who will be without their best two players this weekend against the Bears. All world running back CJ2K is holding out with no sign of returning. Troubled budding star Kenny Britt is not only facing a possible suspension from the league, he is also nursing a hamstring injury that has virtually derailed his entire training camp. It is a very realistic possibility the Titans could be without both in Jacksonville, so get to know Jaime Harper and Damian Williams.

Rookie running back Jaime Harper will start for the second straight week, and has made the most of his opportunities. Against the Rams starting defense Harper racked up 83 yards and a touchdown in one half, giving him 2 in as many games. Harper has great vision and may leap frog second string running back Javon Ringer when he returns from injury. Second year wide receiver Damian Williams will start for the second straight week as well. Williams is also seeing an increase in reps with the starting unit. I'm rooting for Williams, I would like so see the Titans get younger and more explosive at wide receiver. We got rid of grandaddy Moss,and Justin Gage and Nate Washington are looking older and slower by the play. As frightening as this may sound, the starting offense we see Saturday will most likely be the one we see in Jacksonville. Harper, Williams, lets see what you got.
