I bet Titans fans are freeking about all the "Smash N Dash" references

Copping the nicknames is amateur....cringed when Smitty (I think it was) said it last night. Completely weak sauce.

It is arguable who came up w/ it first. It has just been that the Titans have been on the National spotlight this year because of the 10-0 start. So people naturally heard it about it more.

So we definitely didn't copy them. And it's a much better nickname than "The Hardy Boys" which I heard them first call themselves. Or even "Earth, Wind, and Fire", kind of lame.

As for the, the "Cardiac Cats", I know the old St Louis Cardinals were known at one point as the "Cardiac Cards". And even they could of easily not "came up with it"

It's all debatable.

But you know what is weak sauce? Using the term "weak sauce"

Something makes me think that was probably used at the collegiate level previously too...

EDIT: Quick google news search reveals plenty of teams pre-2003 referred to as the cardiac cats. :(

Didn't matter though - the fact that it got used for us that year and then the jags the next year was enough to get people terribly riled up.

Same with Smash and Dash - someone else is going to use it in a few years and we're going to have people all upset that it got stolen from us.

It's like that for every team - Seahawks and the 12th man come to mind.

No it's not....it's not arguable in the least. FACT is, the Titans RBs used it previously. How the hell is that arguable?

Which is kind of dopey...getting riled up about a nickname you didn't come up with in the first place is just...well...weird.

Come up with something original and then complain when someone cops it...then it'll be valid and you can get a twisted ass over it.

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
