keggerz Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 http://blogs.tennessean.com/titans/2013/03/14/fokou-will-provide-mccarthy-competition-at-mlb/ The Titans think a lot of middle linebacker Colin McCarthy.Coaches like his work ethic and ability. Teammates love his relentless approach. In just his second season, McCarthy was voted a team captain in 2012. But there’s no ignoring this: McCarthy has had trouble staying healthy. There’s no guarantee he’ll clear the injury hurdle in 2013. Enter Moise Fokou. The Titans signed Fokou, formerly with the Colts, to a two-year, $2.8 million contract on Wednesday, a deal that included a $300,000 bonus. He’s a free agent they targeted and went after aggressively. The Titans want Fokou to challenge McCarthy for the starting spot at middle linebacker. If he doesn’t beat McCarthy then the Titans think they’ll be far better off than they were last season when McCarthy went down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say it, just shared it...while Moise most likely has little chance barring injury to start over McCarthy it does say something if the team wants competition for him...to me that was the more telling piece.

Probably very concerned about all the injuries as well but he just not as talented Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this says more than anything about how TEN really feels about Fokou's ability to challenge McCarthy: a two-year, $2.8 million contract on Wednesday, a deal that included a $300,000 bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I thought Fokou played pretty well for the Colts last year. He played better than Kavell Conner and Pat Angerer, who was returning from a broken foot. He was much better in coverage than either of them.
