Titans always close to home for Reynolds
Linebacker witnessed key moments while growing up in Bowling Green
By JAMES D. HORNE
The Leaf-Chronicle


Officially, Titans linebacker Robert Reynolds is entering his third season with the team.
But in many ways, Reynolds, and his family, have been associated with the Titans longer than most people in the entire region.
Reynolds' parents, Dan and Roxanne, have been season ticket holders since the Titans arrived in Nashville in 1998, and have traveled from their Bowling Green home to watch games. Because of that, Reynolds has been around to see all the great Titans' highlights, including the "Music City Miracle".
"Ever since (the Titans) moved to town I've always been a fan," the 6-foot-3, 247-pound, 2004 fifth-round draft pick out of Ohio State said.
"My parents bought tickets from day one and are PSL ticket holders. It's been real exciting to pretty much play for my hometown team."
"I don't even have to get tickets, because they (my family) already have them."
It's not lost on Reynolds that he's getting to do something most athletes never do — playing for the professional team he grew up liking.
"I feel like I have more pride for this team than I probably would if I played for a different team," Reynolds said.
"I got a lot of people backing me and supporting me. It's been real exciting.
"I never thought I'd be playing here. I'm one of those guys who's fortunate enough to be close to home and it's worked out really well for me."
Of course, Reynolds' hope is his time with the Titans continues through this and many more seasons.
"I'm going to stay here as long as they will let me," he said. "It's just been exciting."
Luckily, it doesn't seem like that's in jeopardy.
"Rob's one of the guys with versatility," Titans coach Jeff Fisher said. "He's playing inside and outside. He's had his best camp so far as a Titan."
Said linebacker coach Dave McGinnis: "Rob has had a good training camp. This is a stage in the development in his career where he has to make a move. And I think he understands that. Rob is vital to us in two areas.
"First, I like the strides he's made as a middle linebacker. But also, he has the capability to play inside and outside at linebacker. Plus, he can be a very top-notch special teams contributor. All of those things will aid him in being a major contributor to this football team. But the main thing he has done is he's learned our defense and has learned to take charge and made his presence known."
Reynolds is happy to contribute any way he can.
"I like my role," he said. "I pretty much back everybody up. If someone goes down, I think the coaches have confidence in me enough to put me in there at any linebacker position. I just do whatever they ask me to."

Warrant issued for arrest of Titans linebacker on domestic assault charges

Police in Ohio have issued misdemeanor arrest warrants for Tennessee linebacker Robert Reynolds, accused of assaulting his wife and breaking her cell phone. Advertisement
OAS_AD('ArticleFlex_1');

A fifth-round draft pick out of Ohio State in 2004, Reynolds was in Ohio on Saturday where his alma mater played Indiana. Police in a Columbus suburb were called after a witness allegedly saw Reynolds shove his wife with both hands, causing her to fall and hit the side of her house.

The couple is separated, and their divorce is due to be final in another week. His wife did not want to pursue charges, but police charged Reynolds with domestic violence, assault and criminal damaging.

The police have contacted NFL security who called the Titans to help arrange for Reynolds to appear in court.

The Titans declined to comment this morning.

Reynolds was suspended a game in college for jamming his fingers into the throat of a Wisconsin quarterback and choking him.

I'm not surprised. Reynolds showed me the person he is when he cowardly choked Sorgi (or whoever). And then when he faced the music in a press conference a few days later, he brought his girlfriend (I assume it's the same person, but may not be) so to be more sympathetic.

I disagree with any form of violence against women.
If Robert did this, he deserves every bit of punishment he receives...

However, this forum also has rules concerning player bashing...please use common sense when discussing this issue.

Titans LB says warrant to be withdrawn

Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Tennessee Titans linebacker Robert Reynolds and his estranged wife say Ohio authorities have agreed to withdraw an arrest warrant issued against him after a weekend incident led to misdemeanor domestic violence charges.
"It has been agreed that the warrant will be withdrawn as expeditiously as allowed by Ohio law, but that may not occur until later this week. The City of Upper Arlington is fully satisfied with the terms of the withdrawal as we understand them," the Reynolds said in the statement. The couple had begun divorce proceedings that were expected to be final next week.
A telephone message left at the city attorney's office was not immediately returned Tuesday night.
Reynolds left the scene of the incident Saturday night and the warrant was issued, but the couple said Tuesday that authorities were not actively searching for Reynolds because they knew his whereabouts and were working to resolve the charges.
Jennifer Reynolds told police Saturday night she did not want to press charges after she said Reynolds pushed her against a wall with both hands.
She was not hurt and her husband left the scene before police arrived. An officer filed complaints of domestic violence, assault and criminal damaging that she refused to sign.
She told police that her husband, who she said had started drinking Saturday morning, had driven to Upper Arlington in suburban Columbus that night to visit their 2-year-old son. They were watching TV when Reynolds found another man's number in her cell phone.
She told police her husband threw the phone against the living room wall and destroyed it before punching a hole in the wall. She followed him outside, where he shoved her with both hands, causing her to fall against a wall.
She said she was afraid because her husband is 6-foot-3 and 247 pounds and has a "violent past." She told police this wasn't the first time Reynolds had been violent, although only one report was previously filed with authorities.
In the joint statement, the couple apologized to their friends, family, Ohio State University and the Titans for the resulting publicity. They also said the incident was blown out of proportion.
"We were just trying to spend time together with our son, and we're very sorry that this happened. Robert and I are working through this incident together, and I am not pressing charges," Jennifer Reynolds said.
The Titans had no comment Tuesday when asked about the warrants.
The Titans did not play Sunday, and coach Jeff Fisher gave his players five days off as a reward for their first victory. They are not due back in Nashville until Wednesday.
Reynolds, a fifth-round pick out of Ohio State in 2004, was suspended in 2003 for a game after he jammed his fingers into the throat of Wisconsin quarterback Jim Sorgi and choked him, knocking Sorgi out of the game. Reynolds apologized three days later with his wife at his side.
