Collector Zone _ Football _ TCC Tennessee Titans thread
Posted by: ffman Aug 25 2009, 12:03 PM
Titans fans, post your thoughts and observations here!
I haven't been watching very much of the preseason, but I'm very ready for the regular season to get here.
I think our passing offense will greatly improve this year, as Collins has a new weapon with Nate Washington and more time to work with Justin Gage. The Titans also put a formidable group of tight ends on the field with Scaife, Crump, and the young Cook.
Posted by: ffman Sep 20 2009, 12:19 PM
Rough start on offense for us today against the Texans - until Chris Johnson busted a 57-yard touchdown run on third-and-long, that is.
Posted by: ffman Sep 20 2009, 12:46 PM
And the Texans somehow miss Chris Johnson playing receiver - easy 69 yard touchdown.
Posted by: ffman Sep 20 2009, 12:51 PM
Nice job not calling the late hit by Dunta Robinson refs....
Posted by: ffman Sep 20 2009, 12:59 PM
This game is like baby shampoo right now - Johnson and Johnson.
How can you leave either Johnson wide open?
Posted by: ffman Sep 20 2009, 01:03 PM
Oy this is going bad fast.
Posted by: ffman Sep 20 2009, 01:07 PM
21-21, if Jones' catch is upheld.
I think it should be....but Murphy's catch (similar to this) was overturned last week for the Raidaz..
Edit: Confirmed. They need to become more consistent with officiating.
Posted by: ffman Sep 20 2009, 01:16 PM
Ugh this game is becoming infuriating.
Penalties, penalties....no rushing game unless it's a big run.
Posted by: ffman Sep 20 2009, 02:12 PM
Chris Johnson 91 yards for the very long touchdown!
The guy has 179 RUSHING yards, which makes for around 248 total.
Posted by: ffman Sep 20 2009, 02:36 PM
What's up with the penalties?
Posted by: ffman Sep 20 2009, 02:43 PM
WHOO!
Wonderful special teams playing.....Jones fumbled it and we picked it up....whoohoo.
Posted by: CardCraze Sep 20 2009, 02:46 PM
Now CJ needs another TD. He's got me 53 points in fantasy so far. Can he get me 60?
Posted by: ffman Sep 20 2009, 02:50 PM
Man officiating is horrible today.
What about the punt fumble that we should have been allowed to keep? He couldn't catch the ball, even if he did call a fair catch. The ball has to hit the ground my rear, BOLOGNA!
Posted by: ffman Sep 20 2009, 03:04 PM
Way to be DUMB!!
If you get in a fight and there are ejections....that's bad. Could be suspensions.
AND AN EJECTION, NICE JOB JASON JONES! 
Posted by: ffman Sep 20 2009, 03:10 PM
Gotta convert on offense.
Posted by: ffman Sep 20 2009, 03:26 PM
FANTASTIC job Collins. Fumble when nobody hits you and lose the game.
Posted by: ffman Sep 27 2009, 03:10 PM
What a horrible game today.
Under a 50% completion percentage for Collins, who threw 2 picks. His last 13 passes of the game were incomplete - yes, 13.
If he has many more ineffective games like this....Vince Young.
Oh, and we need an entirely new special teams unit on the return game.
Posted by: 19th Century Indiana Jones Sep 27 2009, 03:12 PM
Why were they throwing? Why didn't they run Chris Johnson more? THAT is the one guy I fear.
Posted by: mvpujols#5 Sep 27 2009, 03:14 PM
This is our sign of the year!
Posted by: ffman Sep 27 2009, 03:14 PM
22 carries for 97 yards altogether for the game.
He would bust a couple of good runs only to go 3 and out due to the passing game.
I admit the problem isn't entirely Collins - the receivers didn't look up to par today either.
Posted by: ffman Sep 27 2009, 03:14 PM
We lost 3 of our first 4 games a few years back and still made the playoffs.
The year isn't over, but we put ourselves in a pretty significant hole.
Posted by: mvpujols#5 Sep 27 2009, 03:18 PM
The year isn't over, but we put ourselves in a pretty significant hole.
If they dont do something with KC, and the STU then yea, the season is OVER.
OMG we are the knew lions
Posted by: ffman Sep 27 2009, 03:19 PM
No, 0-3 doesn't mean we are the Lions.
If we don't tighten up soon we will be in trouble - Colts and Patriots are coming up.
OMG we are the knew lions
Posted by: champb21 Sep 28 2009, 03:24 PM
start vince young
Posted by: 19th Century Indiana Jones Sep 28 2009, 03:30 PM
Just hand off to Chris Johnson. Something big will happen sooner or later.
Posted by: ffman Sep 28 2009, 04:19 PM
Chris Johnson is second in the league in yardage behind AP.
Posted by: ffman Oct 4 2009, 12:16 PM
Why aren't we using the rushing attack right now?
First two drives we have thrown on first down rather than use CJ.
Posted by: ffman Oct 4 2009, 12:26 PM
We are sucking right now.
Posted by: ffman Oct 4 2009, 01:02 PM
1. Chris Johnson - you are doing great but know where the 1st down line is before running out!
2. Kerry Collins - goodness!
3. Playcalling - 3rd and 1....Kerry Collins roll-out? Come on guys, goodness!
Posted by: snkpoct137 Oct 4 2009, 01:11 PM
atleast your not the browns 
Posted by: ffman Oct 4 2009, 01:11 PM
Never thought I would say the Lions are better than the Titans. 
Posted by: CardCraze Oct 4 2009, 01:15 PM
...and CJ fumbles
Posted by: ffman Oct 4 2009, 01:29 PM
What a BOLOGNA call on that touchdown for the Jaguars!
Give Louis Murphy back in week 2 a touchdown if you are going to call that junk. The guy never even hit the ground....and the ref even said he had "three feet down". 
Posted by: ffman Oct 4 2009, 02:05 PM
BENCH COLLINS RIGHT NOW!
Posted by: Stlouisrams1600 Oct 4 2009, 02:08 PM
Or the Rams...
Posted by: busyb85 Oct 4 2009, 02:11 PM
Titans look terrible. I have given up all hope in them for this year. They might as well play VY the rest of the season to see if they should draft a QB for next year.
At least the other team I root for is having a great year. Go Bengals!
Posted by: ffman Oct 4 2009, 02:19 PM
The Titans have a few bright spots:
- Chris Johnson
- Kenny Britt
- Our group of tight ends
Posted by: ffman Oct 4 2009, 03:09 PM
Titans are officially 0-4.
Posted by: curtdawg Oct 4 2009, 03:31 PM
Posted by: CardCraze Oct 4 2009, 05:59 PM
2 TDs today? I know he had two picks, but should you not blame the defense for the loss before poor Kerry Collins?
Posted by: ffman Oct 4 2009, 06:01 PM
I think he had one. And two interceptions.
Posted by: bigalexx Oct 4 2009, 06:03 PM
I guess all the blame goes on Collins, even though Garrard looked like Peyton Manning out there today 
Posted by: ffman Oct 4 2009, 06:04 PM
I've placed blame on the defense too - many times.
Posted by: busyb85 Oct 4 2009, 07:57 PM
What about Chuck Cecil the new Definsive Coordinator?
I really don't think that just b/c Haynesworth left our defense got that bad but who knows.
Posted by: ffman Oct 4 2009, 07:59 PM
The loss of Haynesworth gives the quarterbacks more time to find a play, but Haynesworth can't be used as an excuse for horrible pass coverage.
I really don't think that just b/c Haynesworth left our defense got that bad but who knows.
Posted by: CardCraze Oct 5 2009, 06:49 AM
Collins had 2 total. One rush, one pass.
Posted by: ffman Oct 5 2009, 12:13 PM
Just one throwing though - not good when talking TD/INT ratio and all that.
Vince might do no better than Kerry Collins. But, as Sports Illustrated said it is evident that our future is not "now" - and it definitely isn't Collins. Next year we will have to make a big decision regarding VY - so why not let him play this year to see if he will be our future or not?
Posted by: mvpujols#5 Oct 11 2009, 07:38 PM
And were off
Posted by: ffman Oct 11 2009, 07:39 PM
Injury to Jared Cook.
Rushing defense looks good.
Posted by: mvpujols#5 Oct 11 2009, 07:40 PM
Rushing defense looks good.
Wasnt cook, it was stevens
Posted by: ffman Oct 11 2009, 07:40 PM
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh.
Pay more attention Cody.
Posted by: ffman Oct 11 2009, 07:46 PM
And we make progress and what happens? Alge Crumpler fumbles the ball.
Posted by: mvpujols#5 Oct 11 2009, 07:47 PM
just pitiful......
Posted by: ffman Oct 11 2009, 07:52 PM
And a Colts touchdown.
Posted by: ffman Oct 11 2009, 07:59 PM
Why are we NOT utilizing Chris Johnson and continuing to rely on Collins?
Posted by: Stlouisrams1600 Oct 11 2009, 08:04 PM
I think the Rams and Titans are clones.
Posted by: ffman Oct 11 2009, 08:06 PM
I'm beginning to blame the coaching staff....like my mother has all along.
We have a fantastic weapon in Chris Johnson, but they don't get him the ball nearly enough. Instead, they repeatedly give the ball to our anemic passing offense.
Posted by: ffman Oct 11 2009, 08:08 PM
Bulluck with the pick!
Posted by: ffman Oct 11 2009, 08:10 PM
We can't win for losing.
Two holding penalties on Hall. Chris Johnson limping too.
And a false start.
Posted by: Stlouisrams1600 Oct 11 2009, 08:18 PM

That's the Rams right there. With Steven Jackson, as they tried today to actually give him the ball. I didn't end up well as you can see by the score.
Posted by: ffman Oct 11 2009, 08:23 PM
When Chris Johnson does get the ball, he is doing too much "backtracking" and horizontal running tonight, ugh.
Posted by: ffman Oct 11 2009, 09:06 PM
What a bad, bad game.
Too many fouls, pass defense falling apart despite a good start to the game. CJ can't get going, receivers can't catch the ball.
Posted by: RGBII Oct 11 2009, 09:12 PM

He's the one wearing the dress.

Posted by: ffman Oct 11 2009, 09:42 PM
This is ridiculous.
Why don't they put in Vince Young? He can't hurt the team anymore than it already is. Plus, his contract year is next year.
Posted by: Stlouisrams1600 Oct 11 2009, 09:44 PM

Vince Young isn't much better....
Posted by: ffman Oct 11 2009, 09:47 PM
How could he make the team any worse right now?
Collins isn't our future - we need to figure out if Vince will be the "future" or if we need to draft a quarterback.
Posted by: Stlouisrams1600 Oct 11 2009, 09:50 PM

He can't make it worse, or better.
Your in a lose-lose.
Posted by: ffman Oct 11 2009, 09:51 PM
Which is why they should throw him into the game.
The Titans need to be thinking about the future....keeping an older QB in Collins in the game isn't doing that.
Your in a lose-lose. Posted by: snkpoct137 Oct 11 2009, 09:59 PM
collins is absolutely putrid. They are about to go 0-6 into the bye week after a loss to the Pats next week. Seriously what can it hurt to put in Young? They must REALLY HATE THIS GUY
Posted by: ffman Oct 11 2009, 10:01 PM
Apparently it's Fisher's decision to go with Collins. I like Jeff but I don't know what he is thinking.
Posted by: snkpoct137 Oct 11 2009, 10:19 PM
its Vince young time!
Posted by: ffman Oct 11 2009, 10:19 PM
And he gets a first down rushing on his third play.
But, almost threw an interception on his first pass.
And, of course....he throws a good one and Washington drops it.
Posted by: cardcrazed Oct 12 2009, 12:53 AM
Freeney on one end and Mathis on the other will make any QB look bad! I think you all will look for a QB in the Draft next year.
Justin
Posted by: fsabala Oct 12 2009, 08:28 AM
i hate the Titans but let Kenny Britt start over Washington! I also felt bad for Jason McCourty (a college classmate of mine) getting burned by Manning and Wayne all night.
Posted by: 19th Century Indiana Jones Oct 12 2009, 08:30 AM
Justin
Bradford or Tebow?
Posted by: snkpoct137 Oct 12 2009, 01:41 PM
Locker or Mallett or Claussen?
Posted by: cardcrazed Oct 12 2009, 11:51 PM
I would take Bradford, Tebow won't get drafted till the 2nd or 3rd round! Plus he has the whole system QB thing working against him. I wouldn't be surprised if he is the next grossman or wuerffel!!
Justin
Posted by: ffman Oct 18 2009, 05:15 PM
What a complete failure.
Posted by: CardCraze Oct 20 2009, 06:50 AM
The good news is, it's impossible for you guys to lose this weekend
Posted by: tex333 Oct 20 2009, 08:55 PM
For them to give up on VY without giving him the help at WR or the right formations is downright idiotic.
Posted by: xebulba Oct 21 2009, 01:12 AM
what, no mention of jeff fisher in the manning jersey?
Posted by: ffman Oct 21 2009, 10:09 AM
I didn't see anything about it until this morning and that was a glance. I might post once I know more about the whole incident.

Cody the Titan should have no problem with the Jags. If the Rams won the Titans should win!
Posted by: ffman Nov 1 2009, 04:54 PM
TD Vince Young to Washington!
10-0.
Posted by: Stlouisrams1600 Nov 1 2009, 05:08 PM
13-7!
Posted by: ffman Nov 1 2009, 05:52 PM
And Chris Johnson has arrived.
Posted by: ffman Nov 1 2009, 06:23 PM
89 yard touchdown for CJ.
He was so tired and exhausted that he couldn't make it to the bench....he lost his lunch in the endzone I think.
Posted by: ffman Nov 9 2009, 09:44 AM
2-6!
Vince Young played another smart game and Chris Johnson went off again on the ground....
Posted by: ffman Nov 15 2009, 01:45 PM
Chris Johnson already with a 28-yard rushing touchdown and Vince Young with a passing TD against Buffalo.
Posted by: snkpoct137 Nov 15 2009, 04:04 PM
imagine if VY started when he should have.
Posted by: ffman Nov 15 2009, 04:05 PM
Yup.
He did have an interception today but look at the record, 3-0.
Posted by: ffman Nov 15 2009, 04:10 PM
17-25, 210 yards, 1 touchdown, 1 interception.
Chris Johnson - first franchise RB to rush for 100 and catch 100. 132 rushing, 100 receiving.

Chris Johnson - first franchise RB to rush for 100 and catch 100. 132 rushing, 100 receiving.
IMHO, Young is better than Collins, but CJ is the main reason you are 3-0 recently. Look at his stats the past 3 games, compared to the 3 before that.
But yeah, he is a better QB than Kerry.
Posted by: ffman Nov 15 2009, 04:13 PM
Finally.
In honesty I'm not going to say Vince is a better overall QB than Collins (Collins has been around a LONG time), but right now he is.
Chris Johnson is the only reason we have a chance. He's been consistent all year though; I think this is his fifth or sixth game over 100.
But yeah, he is a better QB than Kerry.
Posted by: tex333 Nov 15 2009, 09:22 PM
The VY effect:
Titans average scoring for the first six games: 14

Nice redemption for Kenny Britt.
Amazing game.
Posted by: ffman Nov 29 2009, 07:17 PM
Indeed. Was a little ticked after the fumble but he more than made it up for it.
Vince got it done through the air....nearly 400 yards altogether.
Amazing game.
Posted by: cardinal Nov 29 2009, 07:21 PM
I am so happy right now. I started going crazy when I saw the play.

1. Nate Washington, catch the ball.
2. NATE WASHINGTON, CATCH THE BALL!

Dear Titans,
Why can't you all play like Vince Young, Chris Johnson, and Kenny Britt?
Posted by: ffman Dec 6 2009, 02:33 PM
Nice Young-to-Britt TD.
But why in the world can't the rest of our players be smart? BIG penalty by Toni Brown for jawing and fighting....dumb!
Posted by: Stlouisrams1600 Dec 6 2009, 02:36 PM
Dear Rams,
Why can't you play like the Titans?

Chris Johnson passed 1500 yards today.
4 more games for 500 yards.
Posted by: 10alex10 Dec 7 2009, 04:38 PM
I'd love to see the titans win out to hopfully have a chance at the playoffs. San Diego is looking like a pretty darn good team as of now though, so that could be a little tough. Jags will fall to what their record really should be which is no more than .500, at best. Steelers are looking miserable, so i guess we never know.
Posted by: baseballguy601 Dec 8 2009, 12:26 PM
I think the Titans WILL win out, and hopefully it works out.
Posted by: ffman Dec 13 2009, 04:44 PM
Chris Johnson is a monster.
One rushing touchdown (30ish yards) and one receiving touchdown for 66 yards.
Posted by: ffman Dec 13 2009, 05:06 PM
No, VY is out.
Posted by: ffman Dec 20 2009, 04:19 PM
Titans barely hang on for the win today against the Dolphins.
Chris Johnson had a "mediocre" Chris Johnson game, barely going over 100.
Vince Young had three touchdowns.
Posted by: snkpoct137 Dec 20 2009, 05:15 PM
they are very much still in the playoff picture
Posted by: ffman Jan 4 2010, 12:03 PM
What a year.
The Titans become the first team to start 0-6 and finish with a .500 record. Chris Johnson becomes the 6th player to reach 2000 rushing yards, and set the record for most yards from scrimmage.

I love the enthusiasm around here! *crickets*
Chris Johnson just rushed for his second touchdown of the day. Vince Young has a 55-yard passing touchdown. Ringer has a 15-yd touchdown.
As I just told my mother, if these guys don't get injured this team is GOOD.

One thing I noticed - where was Kenny Britt?
Posted by: cardinal Sep 12 2010, 07:12 PM
Yeah I know, he didn't even register one catch.
Posted by: busyb85 Sep 12 2010, 07:17 PM
Titans looked good today! I was surprised that the Titans D Line did as well as they did today. Maybe, this year won't be as bad as I thought it would be.
Kenny Britt has some attitude problems which he needs to fix before he continues to play more. Also, he needs to catch the easy ones. If he doesn't fix those problems, I don't believe he should play.
Posted by: ffman Sep 12 2010, 09:33 PM
For the record, here are the key stat lines for today's game:
Vince Young:
13-17 passing, 154 yards passing, 2 touchdowns, 1 fumble, 142.8 rating, 30 yards rushing
Chris Johnson:
27 carries, 142 yards rushing, 2 touchdowns (one 76-yard TD)

13-17 passing, 154 yards passing, 2 touchdowns, 1 fumble, 142.8 rating, 30 yards rushing
Chris Johnson:
27 carries, 142 yards rushing, 2 touchdowns (one 76-yard TD)
Javon Ringer:
5 carries, 33 yards rushing, 1 touchdown
Titans defense:
3 forced fumbles, 1 interception, 4 sacks
Those numbers look good for 2 of my fantesy teams! I have young and CJ on one and CJ on the other!

I think it would be really neat to see CJ smash a bunch of rushing records this year! As long as none of them are held by Edgerrin of course!

Kenny Britt has some attitude problems which he needs to fix before he continues to play more. Also, he needs to catch the easy ones. If he doesn't fix those problems, I don't believe he should play.
Nate > Kenny

Don't look for any updates until the game is over.
At home, the Titans are on. On campus, 40-50 miles away - the stinking Vikings are on!
TV Guide says we should be getting the Titans, but instead we get Brett Favre. And by the look of things, the Titans are sucking.
Posted by: ffman Sep 19 2010, 03:20 PM
What a day. I am frustrated on so many levels with this team.
Defense - hats off to you. You kept us in this game - somehow. You pressured the QB, stopped the run fairly well, and play a great game.
Offense - what's up with you guys? Chris couldn't get anything going. VY couldn't.
JEFF FISHER - WAY TO GIVE UP ON VINCE YOUNG! I HOPE YOU FEEL HAPPY FOR YOURSELF. PUT IN THE 40 YEAR OLD COLLINS, WHO THROWS A PICK, FUMBLES, ALMOST TIES THE GAME, BUT INSTEAD THROWS A SHORT PASS TO CJ. THROW THE BALL DOWNFIELD WITH 10 SECONDS LEFT, NOT SHORT!
Collins - LOL!
I admit, I was basically rooting against the Titans the second half after Fisher put Collins in. I can't believe he would bench Young, who is our future quarterback, over one bad half. I wanted Collins to fail miserably. And, for the most part, he did.
In total - 7 turnovers, <50 rushing yards for CJ, and possibly a big hurt to Vince Young's confidence (thanks Coach!).

-------------------------------
I'm sorry what? He threw two INT's, fumbled once, and got sacked a countless number of times.
Collins may have screwed up, but at least he made the game interesting.

I'm sorry, what? Is Kerry Collins our future? NO.
Vince Young has potential, which he showed last season and last week. You don't give up on him.
Collins threw a pick, fumbled two or three times, took an intentional grounding penalty, and threw a short pass to CJ with 10 seconds left instead of throwing it downfield.
Posted by: cardinal Sep 19 2010, 06:12 PM
I have absolutely NO problem with what Jeff Fisher did at all. He said it best in the post game interview, where he basically stated that he wasn't trying to lower Vince's confidence, he was trying to WIN THE GAME. And honestly, Kerry Collins looked better than Vince Young. Young was so embarrassingly bad it was unbelievabe. Just about everything a QB can do wrong in a game, he did. Vince Young, Jeff Fisher, and every Titans fan out there knows Young will be the starter next week.
One last thing -- what is all this pity for Vince Young and his confidence about? WHO CARES? If you get that upset over being benched, you seriously shouldn't be playing a sport on a professional level.

It would be nice to know that you are trusted by your coach to win a game, especially given you are the starter. Did the Ravens pull Flacco after throwing four picks? No.
Was he gonna pull CJ out and put Ringer in since Chris only had 34 yards and a fumble? No.
Pulling him out to "win the game" is basically saying:
"I'm sorry, Vince. You are our starting quarterback, but I don't believe you are good enough to bring us back into the game".

It's not like this is a complete shocker. Kerry Collins has proved that he can play well in the past, and Vince Young was having an absolutely TERRIBLE game. This isn't Peyton Manning getting pulled for Curtis Painter.
Posted by: ffman Sep 19 2010, 06:51 PM
Yes, he proved that so well last year.
Chris Johnson was having a terrible game as well, as was the entire offense and special teams.
Collins passed more efficiently and scored a touchdown, but also:
- Threw one interception
- Fumbled a couple times
- Mismanaged the final drive of the game (if you are pressured, please realize there are only 10 seconds left and don't dump a pass to a covered Chris Johnson).
Posted by: cardinal Sep 19 2010, 07:05 PM
I don't think the Titans would have finished 13-3 with a 10-0 start in '08 with Vince Young under center.
Posted by: ffman Sep 19 2010, 07:08 PM
But, did they not finish 6-2 under him in 2009?
He (and CJ) turned the Titans into a near playoff team after the 0-6 start. That should at least count for something.
Posted by: northicehero99 Sep 19 2010, 07:11 PM
Cody, I think Fisher did the right thing in putting in Collins and it almost won the game. The Steelers were reading Vince, it happens and a change was needed. I think some of CJs problems were because Vince could not get anything going passing wise. If he had it might have opened up the field and some lanes for CJ. In addition, CJ had a TD run nullified by a holding penalty, not CJs fault.
I don't think this impacts VY as much as you think considering how bad he played, what if he stayed in and got picked a few more times would that have been any better for his psyche? I have to say I think Fisher did the right thing.
Posted by: ffman Sep 26 2010, 02:50 PM
Week 3:
Titans 29, Giants 10 (with a couple minutes left)
VY: 10/16, 118 yards, 1 TD
CJ: 32 rushes, 125 yards, 2 TD
Thanks to the Giants offensive line and defense for so many personal fouls (and the safety was nice too, gracias Bradshaw)..
Posted by: ronaldinho0003 Sep 26 2010, 03:30 PM
Wow. I only watched a couple series of this game, but boy was it chippy...
Posted by: ffman Oct 10 2010, 07:48 PM
The Titans came away with a surprising win over the Dallas Cowboys, 34-27.
Kudos to our amazing D-Line, which totaled six sacks. In addition, Chris Johnson ran for over 130 and 2 touchdowns. Despite being non-existent for a good deal of the game, our secondary did come away with three interceptions, including one that by rookie CB Verner which led to a TD.
Posted by: ronaldinho0003 Oct 10 2010, 08:03 PM
Watched the whole game today. I'm pretty impressed with the Titans, with the exception of Vince Young. Yes, he does pose as a threat to many defenses with his ability to run, but he makes flat out dumb decisions sometimes (not just this week, but through the first 5 weeks). If he can step up his game, and still have CJ be consistent, they can definitely be a good playoff contender.
Posted by: cardinal Oct 10 2010, 11:15 PM
I disagree. I was happy with how Vince Young played today. Titans had a good game, and the defense played well despite letting up 27 points.
Posted by: ffman Oct 24 2010, 03:40 PM
This man:
Was the first Titans receiver to pass 200 yards in a game since this man:
Kenny Britt, after an altercation in a bar Thursday, was forced to sit out the first half.
He came back with a vengeance, putting up 225 yards and 3 touchdowns.
Titans win 37-19.
Posted by: ronaldinho0003 Oct 24 2010, 04:39 PM
I'm ticked I didn't start Britt this week...
Posted by: ffman Oct 31 2010, 04:04 PM
Despite an early injury to Britt, the Titans passing game is looking good.
Even on his incompletions, Vince is making some great throws. The unknown receivers are coming out - Stevens, Cook, Hawkins, Williams.
Titans up 12-7 halfway through the 2nd quarter.
Posted by: ffman Oct 31 2010, 04:15 PM
19-7 Titans.
Posted by: ffman Oct 31 2010, 05:20 PM
And penalties kill us.
Griffin - interception for a TD but called back for holding on Griffin.
Babin - Gates gets a TD, and he hits Rivers lows way after the play.
Now Chargers up 24-17.
Posted by: ffman Oct 31 2010, 05:56 PM
And Vince is hurt again.
Posted by: ffman Oct 31 2010, 06:21 PM
And the Titans choke.
Chris Johnson can't catch.
Posted by: cardinal Nov 1 2010, 06:58 PM
Games like this are discouraging because the Titans really should have had this won. Not too worried though, I've still got plenty of faith.
Posted by: ffman Nov 14 2010, 04:08 PM
My frustrating with this team continues to grow.
Despite the 5-4 record after today's loss, in my opinion the season is in jeopardy.
Kerry Collins started the first half throwing for a truly magnificent 51 yards, throwing to Moss only 3 times. The defense, while at times spectacular, leaves too many receivers open. Vince Young comes in after halftime, and while he throws for more yards (in just a little over a quarter surpassing Collins' 51), begins with a fumble.
Young's touchdown pass to Washington led me to think that the team had a chance, but then the defense gives up a TD from the hands of 3rd-string quarterback Tyler Thigpen.
Finally, the game ends with a sack of Young and an interception.
By far, today's game shows that Collins will not get this team anywhere (in my opinion). Young isn't perfect but can get more done. Our defense needs a tune-up. We have hard workers on the front line and in the secondary, but they leave too many holes and are undisciplined.
Posted by: cardinal Nov 15 2010, 11:35 PM
Vince Young was really abysmal. Unfortunately Kerry Collins wasn't ANY better at all. Their whole QB situation is so pedestrian.
Posted by: ffman Nov 15 2010, 11:38 PM
He really wasn't abysmal in my opinion, apart from the fumble and late pick. Not efficient, no, but not abysmal. Definitely way better than Collins who overthrew almost every pass and put up 51 yards.
It's pathetic both of them only threw to Moss a total of four (or five, can't remember) times.
Posted by: ffman Jan 9 2011, 12:16 PM
Well, my favorite Titan is gone.
Earlier this week the Titans announced they will either trade or release quarterback Vince Young. Many Titans fans rejoiced at this move, but not me. I enjoyed having Vince as QB, even though he did make many mistakes and has some issues. I have always though that he may have turned out differently if he had the support and trust of his coach. Jeff Fisher never wanted Vince Young, and as a result never gave him a chance.
As a pocket passer Vince greatly improved this year, with a high passer rating and a 8-2 TD/INT ratio. And, you cannot forget his W/L record of 30-17 with the team. Good luck to Vince wherever he goes. I am thinking the 49ers, Raiders, Vikings, or Panthers could be options right now.
I am disappointed to see that Fisher will be back next year.
Posted by: cardinal Jan 10 2011, 08:21 PM
His record of 30-17 as a starter looks better than it actually is. I believe he's 14-16 or something ridiculous against teams with winning records.

So does that mean last year's rookie, Rusty Smith, takes over? Kerry Collins returns for another season? Titans draft a quarterback in this year's draft?

Posted by: ffman Jan 11 2011, 10:27 AM
Hopefully we move up in the draft to take a QB or something.
As long as Kerry doesn't start....Smith isn't much better.
Posted by: cardinal Jan 11 2011, 03:54 PM
The Titans have the 8th pick this year, they shouldn't have to trade up.
Posted by: sportscollectoroz Jan 11 2011, 04:01 PM
Is there even value in this year's quarterback draft class? Maybe I haven't been following closely enough, but no names stand out to me.
Oz
Posted by: cardinal Jan 12 2011, 04:07 PM
Ryan Mallett, Blaine Gabbert, and Jake Locker will all probably be first-rounders. That's pretty good compared to last year when Sam Bradford was the only 1st-Round QB and he went #1 overall.
Posted by: sportscollectoroz Jan 12 2011, 04:21 PM
I guess I haven't been following closely enough. hahaha The only name I've heard in regards to being possible 1st rounders is Locker.
Oz
Posted by: ffman Jan 28 2011, 11:22 AM
Well, Fisher is gone.
It was time for a change. 90% of Titans fans disagree with me, but Fisher was not getting it done. He did provide stability for most of his tenure, but he was beginning to even lose that (VY drama, losing two or three coaches in the last three weeks, etc). 1999-2003 were his best years - the departure of McNair and George soon after hurt him.
Reports are Vince Young will still be gone; although I would love to see him back as a Titan, for him this would be the best move. Since Fisher was fired, I could not imagine the amount of boos Vince would receive at the first home game from bitter fans.
I hope they can pry away Gregg Williams from the Saints. We may not have a quarterback, but with discipline our defense can be great.
Posted by: ffman Apr 27 2012, 03:14 PM
With the 20th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Titans chose WR Kendall Wright from Baylor.
I expected defensive help, but help at receiver is always needed. I hope that Damian Williams still gets a chance this year; he played well to end the year last year.
Posted by: rednecksims May 15 2012, 12:42 PM
Williams will get a chance this year with Britt out again possibly. Look for Harper to get a lot of playing time if CJ does not get off to a hot start.
