The Titans treated this game like a real tune-up as they even faked a punt that safety Vincent Fuller ran for a 40-yard TD.  Vince Young had a so-so effort as he completed 13 of 27 passes for 134 yards.  He also carried the ball 3 times for 57 yards (19.0 ypc).  Kerry Collins also had a so-so game completing 5 of 7 passes for 61 yards with 1 interception.  Ingle Martin finished up this game completing 1 of 4 passes for 8 yards.  LenDale White led the Titans in rushing in this game with 55 yards on 16 carries (3.4 ypc).  Chris Henry pitched in with 24 yards on 10 carries (2.4 ypc) against the Packers.  Rookie RB Chris Johnson was also very busy as he carried the ball 8 times for 24 yards (3.0 ypc) with a TD run (1-yarder).  He also caught 4 passes for 46 yards (11.5 avg) against the Packers.  Justin McCareins was the leading receiver for the Titans in this game as he had 79 yards on 3 grabs (26.3 avg).  The Titans played keepaway in this game as they had possession of the football for 36:45.  The Titans finished up with 206 yards rushing on 40 carries (5.2 ypc) and they also completed 19 of 38 passes for 197 yards.

Linebacker Stanford Kegler led the way for the Titans in this game with 6 tackles.  Fellow linebackers Stephen Tulloch (4 tackles, fumble recovery) and Colin Allred (3 tackles, fumble recovery) also had solid games against the Packers.  The Titans rolled up six sacks in this football game.  The Packers finished up with 116 yards rushing on 22 carries (5.5 ypc) and they also completed 16 of 26 passes for 150 yards.  The Titans finish the preseason with a 3-1 record and they hope the momentum they have built carries into the regular season.

Atlanta Falcons 17, Tennessee Titans 3

The Tennessee Titans got pushed around last night by the Falcons in Atlanta.  Vince Young had another subpar game as he completed 9 of 18 passes for 102 yards with a interception.  He also carried the ball 3 times for 16 yards.  Kicker John Vaughn nailed a 50-yard field goal on a drive led by Young which was the only points the Titans put on the scoreboard.  Kerry Collins was pathetic last night as he only completed 1 of 8 passes for 20 yards.  Ingle Martin finished up the game for the Titans last night completing 3 of 6 passes for 35 yards.  Charles Johnson led the Titans’ in rushing last night with 35 yards on 11 carries (3.2 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 23 yards (11.5 avg).  Justin Gage pitched in with 2 receptions for 23 yards last night.  The Titans finished up with 75 yards rushing on 22 carries (3.4 ypc) and they also completed 13 of 32 passes for only 140 yards last night.  The Titans only had possession of the football for 23:54 last night and it’s hard to win a football game that way.

Safety Donnie Nickey and conerbacks Reynaldo Hill and Cortland Finnegan led the way for the Titans’ defense last night with 5 tackles apiece.  The Falcons rushed for 145 yards on 30 carries (4.8 ypc) and they also completed 24 of 32 passes for 175 yards.  The Titans need to get there act together soon as the regular season starts in two weeks.

Quinton Ganther is pushing for Chris Henry’s job for the Tennessee Titans

Blogged under General, Bloglockers, Front Page by admin on Saturday 16 August 2008 at 10:33 pm

2nd year running back Chris Henry probably felt that he had the #3 RB job locked up heading into training camp but he’s wrong about that.  He has played well during the preseason with 14 carries for 66 yards (4.7 ypc), but, Quinton Ganther has been incredible this year so far.  Ganther has carried the football 11 times for 131 yards (11.9 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  Ganther is making a strong push to bump Henry down the depth chart but he will have to keep up the good work to make it happen.

Rookie RB Chris Johnson is putting pressure on LenDale White for the starting gig at RB for the Tennessee Titans

Blogged under The Pre-Season, General, Bloglockers, Front Page by admin on Saturday 16 August 2008 at 10:30 pm

Rookie Chris Johnson has been outstanding this preseason as he is applying pressure to LenDale White of the Titans for the featured role in the running game.  Johnson has carried the football 14 times for 123 yards (8.8 ypc) with 1 TD run this preseason.  Johnson is a lot faster than White, but, White has a lot more Power than Johnson.  LenDale White has carried the football 14 times for 72 yards (5.1 ypc) this preseason.  Look for Johnson and White to share the job early in the regular season.

The Tennessee Titans need to start seeing something out of the QBs

Blogged under General, Bloglockers, Front Page by admin on Saturday 16 August 2008 at 10:26 pm

I know it’s just the preseason and the Titans are averaging 25.5 points per game and 431.5 yards of offense per game so what’s the big deal?  The big deal is that Vince Young and Kerry Collins are both looking pretty awful.  The Titans are averaging a stunning 240.0 yards rushing and 7.0 ypc and that’s why they are putting up all of those yards and points.  Vince Young has really looked pathetic in the preseason as he has completed 7 of 19 passes (36.8%) for 54 yards (45.3 QB Rating).  He has also carried the football 2 times for 39 yards this preseason (19.5 ypc).  Kerry Collins still has a big arm but he doesn’t know where the football is going most of the time.  Collins has completed 11 of 31 passes (35.5%) for 214 yards with 1 TD pass and 0 interceptions (71.2 QB Rating).  The Titans’ best QB this preseason and been third stringer Ingle Martin.  Martin has completed 9 of 15 passes (60%) for 142 yards without a TD pass or an interception (91.5% QB Rating).  As long as the Titans are effective running the football all the QB will have to do is manage the football game and not screw up.
