The Tennessee Titans kicked the Rams’ butts up and down the field last Saturday Night.  Vince Young made a brief appearance and he completed 3 of 6 passes for 17 yards and he also carried the ball 1 time for 35 yards.  Kerry Collins got the most playing time of the QBs as he completed 7 of 16 passes for 105 yards.  Ingle Martin finished up the game completing 3 of 4 passes for 39 yards.  The Titans had 6 players rush for at least 33 yards in this game and the player with the most was Quinton Ganther who rushed for 115 yards on 8 carries (14.4 ypc) with 2 TD runs (45 yards, 2 yards).  Chris Johnson was also outstanding in his NFL debut as he carried the ball 6 times for 77 yards (12.8 ypc) with 1 TD run (66 yards).  Chris Henry pitched in with 38 yards rushing on 9 carries (4.2 ypc).  Omar Cuff was also busy with 33 yards on 9 carries (3.7 ypc).  LenDale White started out the game and he rushed the ball 6 times for 33 yards (5.5 ypc).  TE James Petrowski led Titans’ receivers with 43 yards on 2 receptions (21.5 avg).  The Titans finished this game with an amazing 340 yards rushing on 43 carries (7.9 ypc).  They also completed 13 of 26 passes for 155 yards as they held onto the football for a stunning 34:41 in this game!

The Titans’ defense was also impressive on Saturday Night.  CB Eric King (5 tackles) and safety Vincent Fuller (5 tackles, sack) led the way for the defense.  Outside linebacker Keith Bulluck only had 2 tackles on the night but he returned a interception off of Marc Bulger 13 yards for a TD.  The Rams finished up with 76 yards rushing on 20 carries (3.8 ypc).  They also completed 17 of 31 passes for 165 yards against the Titans.  This was a very good all around effort for the Titans in the preseason opener.
