Titans Players Say Bye to Pacman

The first rule of being a team player is that you never call out a teammate. So you never really find out what players feel about a guy until he heads out of town.

Now that Pacman Jones is an ex-Titan, it's time to find out what his ex-teammates thought about him. What's striking is that they're not ready to rip him a new one.

The Tennessean's Paul Kuharsky spoke to three of White's former teammates and only one of them had anything bad to say. Kyle Vanden Bosch said that he was happy to see Jones gone:

"It probably took a lot more out of us that a lot of people let on," Pro Bowl defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch said. "We did a good job of moving on without him last season, but even this week with all the trade talks and stuff like that - it's been over a year since he's been suspended and yet he's been front-page news several times over the past few weeks. Now that he's gone, I feel like we can kind of move to a new chapter . . . It was a character thing and it seemed like he was always around the wrong people and in the wrong place at the wrong time."
But the other two players quoted, Ahmad Hall and Lendale White, seem to have only positive things to say about Pacman. Now White isn't exactly the kind of guy who's going to call out another person's mistakes, but the fact that only Vanden Bosch would rip Jones after all he did seems to back up what several Titans said when Jones was sitll in Tennessee--he makes a lot of bad decisions but he actually is a pretty guy in the locker room.
