Despite the score looking close the Titans were pretty impressive last night in the Hall of Fame Game.  The Titans built a 21-6 lead at the half as the offense, defense and special teams were all outstanding.  Kerry Collins started the game and he looked sharp completing 7 of 10 passes for 82 yards.  Vince Young replaced Collins in the 2nd quarter and he was so-so.  He completed 5 of 10 passes for 39 yards with a TD pass (5 yarder to Paul Williams) and a interception.  Patrick Ramsey was also effective completing 8 of 10 passes for 72 yards.  Alex Mortensen finished up the game and he didn’t look good as he threw a pick six to Bills’ cornerback Reggie Corner.  Chris Henry led the Titans’ in rushing last night with 23 yards on 6 carries (3.8 ypc).  LenDale White only rushed for 12 yards on six carries (2.0 ypc) with a TD run.  TE Alge Crumpler was the leading receiver for the Titans last night with 32 yards on 3 receptions.  The biggest play for the Titans last night though came on special teams as rookie punter A.J. Trapasso scored on a 40-yard run on a fake punt.  The Titans only had 271 yards on offense despite Trapasso’s 40-yard run so they have some work to do before the season starts in September.

The defense was outstanding for the Titans last night as they held the Bills to 247 total yards of offense.  Linebacker Stanford Keglar was all over the field as he led the Titans with six tackles.  Safety Michael Griffin and CB Jason McCourty each picked off a pass last night.

This game was only close because the Bills had a better third and fourth team which won’t be a issue when the regular season starts.
