Quote of the Day

"It’s nerve-wracking, man. It really is. You’re used to something for nine years – I shouldn’t even say that because every few years I had to change coaches. But just having the same people around as far as the strength staff, the training staff, just people that you trust and now coming out here when you’re 30 years old and trying to create new relationships and trying to get guys to trust you as well, it’s a challenge."

— Former IU offensive lineman Rodger Saffold on joining the Titans after spending his first nine seasons in the NFL with the Los Angeles Rams, according to The Nasvhille Tennessean.
