Washington Redskins 14, Tennessee Titans 6
The Titans had to know they were in for a long night after Vince Young was told that he wouldn’t play because he missed curfew on Friday Night. Kerry Collins got the start and he was 10 for 17 for 79 yards passing. Tim Rattay followed him and he completed 13 of 21 passes for 123 yards but he lost a key fumble in the 4th quarter that resulted in a TD for the Redskins. The Titans decided to give all of their running backs some carries last night to see who wants the starting job and the results weren’t pretty. Rookie Chris Henry got the most carries but he didn’t do too much with them. He carried the ball 12 times for 42 yards (3.5 ypc). LenDale White was the favorite coming into the pre-season to be the man but he carried the ball 6 times for only 12 yards (2.0 ypc). Chris Brown is the veteran of this bunch and he didn’t run well either carrying the ball 9 times for 19 yards (2.1 ypc). Brandon Jones (3 rec, 34 yards) and Bo Scaife (4 rec, 27 yards) led the way for the Titans as receivers. The Titans wound up carrying the ball 34 times for 84 yards (2.5 ypc). They also completed 23 of 38 passes for 202 yards.
The Titans defense played surprisingly well last night against the Redskins. They held the Skins to 27 carries for 77 yards (2.9 ypc) and the Redskins completed 15 of 28 passes for 167 yards. Hopefully the Titans defense can build on this effort.
