This football game was a tale of two halves. The Titans starting unit got pushed around in the first half as the Patriots led the game 17-7 at halftime. But the Titans’ reserve players outscored the Patriots 20-7 in the second half of the game to score a victory. Vince Young looked like a deer in headlights last night against the Patriots’ vaunted defense. He only completed 5 of 17 passes for 102 yards and he carried the ball 4 times for 9 yards (2.3 ypc). He was also sacked 4 times. Kerry Collins looked pretty sharp in the game completing 8 of 12 passes for 96 yards including a 15-yard TD strike to Roydell Williams. Tim Rattay finished up the game completing 4 of 7 passes for 49 yards. Chris Brown looked super running the ball last night as he carried it 10 times for 67 yards (6.7 ypc) and a TD. Dontrell Moore also looked good running the ball last night carrying it 9 times for 40 yards (4.4 ypc) with a TD but he remains a long shot to win a job on the Titans’ opening day roster. Rookie Chris Henry was getting beat up last night by the Patriots as he carried the football 8 times for only 15 yards (1.9 ypc). TE Bo Scaife (3 rec, 69 yards) and free agent addition WR Justin Gage (3 rec, 32 yards) each looked pretty good last night. The offense looked sharp as a whole last night as the Titans finished up rushing for 131 yards on 31 carries (4.2 ypc) and they also completed 17 of 36 passes for 220 yards.

The defense looked pretty good last night for the Titans. They held the Patriots to 71 yards rushing on 26 carries (2.7 ypc). The Patriots QBs completed 20 of 40 passes for 227 yards but the Titans picked them off 4 times.  CB Cortland Finnegan returned an interception off Tom Brady 51 yards for a TD last night. First round pick Michael Griffin also swiped two passes. Overall, this was a good performance by the Titans.

The Titans had to know they were in for a long night after Vince Young was told that he wouldn’t play because he missed curfew on Friday Night. Kerry Collins got the start and he was 10 for 17 for 79 yards passing. Tim Rattay followed him and he completed 13 of 21 passes for 123 yards but he lost a key fumble in the 4th quarter that resulted in a TD for the Redskins. The Titans decided to give all of their running backs some carries last night to see who wants the starting job and the results weren’t pretty. Rookie Chris Henry got the most carries but he didn’t do too much with them. He carried the ball 12 times for 42 yards (3.5 ypc). LenDale White was the favorite coming into the pre-season to be the man but he carried the ball 6 times for only 12 yards (2.0 ypc). Chris Brown is the veteran of this bunch and he didn’t run well either carrying the ball 9 times for 19 yards (2.1 ypc). Brandon Jones (3 rec, 34 yards) and Bo Scaife (4 rec, 27 yards) led the way for the Titans as receivers. The Titans wound up carrying the ball 34 times for 84 yards (2.5 ypc). They also completed 23 of 38 passes for 202 yards.

The Titans defense played surprisingly well last night against the Redskins. They held the Skins to 27 carries for 77 yards (2.9 ypc) and the Redskins completed 15 of 28 passes for 167 yards. Hopefully the Titans defense can build on this effort.
