The Titans had another solid game last Saturday to improve to 2-0 on the preseason.  Kerry Collins started this game and he did not look good completing 4 of 9 passes for 37 yards with 2 pickoffs.  Vince Young followed Collins into this game and he was outstanding completing 9 of 14 passes for 131 yards with 1 TD pass.  Patrick Ramsey finished up this game completing 4 of 6 passes for 30 yards.  The Titans’ offensive rookies looked outstanding in this game as Javon Ringer, Kenny Britt and Jared Cook all stood out.  Ringer led the Titans in rushing with 51 yards on 7 carries (7.3 ypc) which was a 36-yarder.  WR Kenny Britt led the Titans in receiving in this game with 89 yards on 5 receptions (17.8 avg) with a TD.  TE Jared Cook added six receptions for 56 yards (9.3 avg) in this game.  The Titans finished up with 278 total yards on offense (92 rushing, 186 passing).

The Titans had some trouble stopping the run as the Bucs rolled up 138 yards rushing (5.3 ypc).  But, the Bucs only passed for 118 yards so the Titans’ pass D was outstanding again.  Linebacker Gerald McRath (8 tackles) and CB Ryan Mouton (2 tackles, game deciding 29 yard interception return for TD) led the way for the Titans’ defense in this game.

The Titans have signed 29-year old linebacker Rocky Boiman.  Boiman played in 11 games for the Chiefs last season and he made 73 tackles, defensed 3 passes and forced 1 fumble.  Boiman has played 7 years in the NFL covering 97 games in which he has made 254 tackles, has defensed 12 passes, has 1.5 sacks, he has forced 3 fumbles and he has 5 interceptions (one returned for a TD).  This was a good signing for the Titans so late before the season begins.

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.
