Heimerdinger should help Titans
I cleaned out my inbox after my trip, and found a good question on what new/old Titans offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger could have on the team's fantasy fortunes.
'Dinger's hire is good news for LenDale White and Vince Young. The Titans, under Heimerdinger, were a power running team that finished in the top 11 in rush attempts each season, finishing in the top four twice. They weren't that successful per-play, but they loved to grind the ball. That fits White's style well, and could mean 325+ carries if he stays healthy. White just went in the middle of the fourth round of a day-after season Mock Draft I'm in the middle of. He could be a great value again.
Heimerdinger also coached Steve McNair throughout the most successful part of his career. Tennessee didn't throw the ball much, finishing in the bottom ten in pass attempts each season. But they were very efficient going vertical, finishing in the top ten in yards-per-attempt each year.
Considering the stylistic similarities between McNair-George and Young-White, you can see why Jeff Fisher wanted Heimerdinger back on staff so much. Now they need to get Young some receivers.
