Running back Chris Johnson, in camp with a revised contract, says the Titans have assured him that negotiations toward a long-term deal could resume in September, The Tennessean reported.
"Basically I have to come in here and have a great year and get my Michael Oher history deal next year," he said. "I felt like I deserved it this year, but … I can say it won't happen again. This is the last time without me having a long-term deal. It's a must." …
The New Orleans Times-Picayune reported that free safety Darren Sharper(notes) could begin the season on the physically unable to perform list, which would sideline him for the first six games. Sharper is rehabbing from knee surgery.
Malcolm Jenkins(notes), a first-round pick in 2009, is taking Sharper's place for now, and the Saints are pleased with his transition from cornerback. …
Ravens offensive tackle Jared Gaither(notes), who has been in and out of practice because of back spasms and could be losing his grip on a starting job, was examined by a back specialist Saturday, The Baltimore Sun reported. Coach John Harbaugh said the early report indicated the problem isn't serious.
Gaither played left tackle last season, but the team flip-flopped him with Michael Oher(notes) in the offseason.
Big Mike himself is admirably played by Quinton Aaron, his broad shoulders carrying the responsibility of being the emotional balance to Bullock's Tuohy without disappearing and becoming merely a cipher for everything that is wrong with the world in her charitable eyes. He doesn't have a great deal in terms of dialogue, but in his locker he does have the same invaluable ability to wear the emotional scars of his character emblazoned in his eyes that made Michael Oher Duncan such a (flash in the pan) hot commodity after his comparable role in The Green Mile, and will no doubt enjoy a similar wave of good tidings as Gabourey Sidibe did in the aftermath of Precious last year.
The key is, neither Aaron or Bullock's performances are obviously award-baiting: there is none of the flamboyance or hysterics that one might expect of such a film, and that is enormously refreshing.
Elsewhere, the other acting performances are good without ever intruding on Bullock's screen space- although really they are essentially just furniture to Bullock and Aaron's performances. This is the filmic journey of their relationship after all.
