The Tennessee Titans aren’t getting much production out of their rookies this season.  WR Kenny Britt (1st round, #30 overall) is the best of this rookie crop.  He has caught 20 passes for 296 yards (14.8 avg) so far this season leading the Titans in both categories.  DT Sen’Derrick Marks (2nd round, #62 overall) has 1 whopping tackle so far this season.  The Titans have to be disppointed in Marks so far this season.  TE Jared Cook (3rd round, #89 overall) has caught 6 passes for 41 yards (6.8 avg) so far this season for the Titans.  He played really well in the pre-season for the Titans but he is not high on the depth chart as of yet.  CB Ryan Mouton (3rd round, #94 overall) has made 17 tackles one of which was for a loss.  He has also returned 1 kickoff for 14 yards and 6 punts for 37 yards (6.2 avg) for the Titans this season.  Mouton quickly lost his return jobs due to him not catching the ball too well.  LB Gerald McRath (4th round, #130 overall) has six tackles so far this season for the Titans.  OT Troy Kropog (4th round, #135 overall) has not got onto the field yet this season for the Titans.  RB Javon Ringer (5th round, #173 overall) looked like a keeper before a recent injury.  He has carried the ball 7 times for 47 yards (6.7 ypc) and he has returned 9 kickoffs for 181 yards (20.1 avg) this season.  CB Jason McCourty (6th round, #203 overall) has 22 tackles this season and he has returned 3 kickoffs for 72 yards (24.0 avg).  Look for McCourty to get more playing time the 2nd half of the year for the Titans.  WR Dominique Edison (6th round, #206), OG Ryan Durand (7th round, #239) and FS Nick Schommer (7th round, #242 overall) have yet to play a game for the Titans.  This does not appear to be one of the better drafts that the Titans have had lately.

The Tennessee Titans (1-6) finally decided to start Vince Young and they got their first win of the season last week.  Young and the Titans are on the road this week against the San Francisco 49ers (3-4), who have also made a quarterback change recently.  If Young can manage the game and play like he did last weekend, the Titans will have a good shot at winning this one.  Chris Johnson had a huge game last week rushing for 228 yards, and if he is able to repeat anything near that performance the Titans will be in great shape.

The 49ers offense has had a little bit of a resurgence with Alex Smith as their quarterback, but he has thrown two picks in two games.  The Titans are giving up 282 passing yards per game, so Smith may have a big day.  They also give up way too many rushing yards (112 per game) so they need to make sure 49ers’ Frank Gore doesn’t get any big runs.  I think the Titans have a fresh take on the season with Vince Young under center and I think they will get their second win in a row.

FINAL SCORE PREDICTION:  Tennessee Titans 28, San Francisco 49ers 24

The Tennessee Titans have brought back WR/KR Chris Davis due to the injury to Mark Jones.  Davis played in 17 games in 2007-2008 with the Titans and he caught 7 passes for 69 yards (9.9 avg).  The reason that the Titans brought him back however was his special teams play.  He has returned 33 punts for 299 yards (9.1 avg) and 6 kickoffs for 156 yards (26.0 avg) in his career and those are the roles he will likely fill with the Titans.  The Titans released CB Cary Williams to make room on the roster for Davis.  Williams played in 4 games this season for the Titans and he made 12 tackles and defensed 1 pass for them.  The Titans will likely re-sign Williams to the practice squad if he clears waivers.

UPDATE:  The Titans have cut Chris Davis after only three days as they like Alvin Pearman better to return kicks and punts.

 The Tennessee Titans finally got their first win of the year, as they topped the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.  The Titans offense looked much better with Vince Young under center. Young made his first start of the year and did a good job controlling the game and not turning the ball over.  He went an accurate 15/18 for 125 yards and a touchdown.  Chris Johnson was the one who won this game for the Titans though.  The running back went for a whopping 228 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries, including a 52-yard touchdown run and an 89-yard touchdown run.

The Titans defense did a good job defending the passing game, giving up only 139 yards through the air.  They also got two interceptions off Jaguars’ quarterback David Garrard and did not give up any touchdowns to him.  They failed miserably at stopping Maurice Jones Drew, and thankfully for the Titans sake the Jaguars’ did not give Jones-Drew the ball very often.  Jones-Drew rushed for 177 yards and two touchdowns on just eight carries.  The Titans obviously gave up some huge plays to Jones-Drew, but they did enough to hold the Jags to only 13 points.  This was a big win for the Titans and it looks like they probably should have went to Vince Young earlier in the season.
