Nashville, TN

I was dismayed earlier this year when the Titans didn’t bother to re-sign Travis Henry at running back.

But don’t worry all the call-in shows told us–we’ve got LenDale White. He’s ready to step up and be the man for the Titans.

Apparently not so much.

LenDale skipped the first day of mini-camp yesterday. None of his other teammates did. This is a bad sign for the Titans. White has a history of showing up overweight and out of shape…and now to blow off the camp like that. And from what I read, it looks like he didn’t even bother to call in sick or touch base with the coaches or team.

Without a solid running game this year, I am afraid all the progress we made in the second half of last season will be lost and it will be a long season.

And what is it with this epidimic of selfishness over there? Can’t they all take a page from Vince Young, who has done nothing since he got drafted but show up, work hard and put the team above himself?
