0 Big Day for RB Johnson as the Titans destroy the Rams 47-7! Posted by DieHardFans | at 2:24 AM

The Tennessee Titans have fast become one of the leading sides out there. Their win-loss record alone this season, is 2nd to only a few, with quarterback Vince Young behind center. As the Titans and St. Louis Rams battled for 60 minutes at LP Field, Young would play but injure himself midway through the second quarter failing to return. Fortunately for the Titans, Young’s absence didn’t hurt them as Kerry Collins threw for a score while Chris Johnson scored three times, as Tennessee easily disposed the Rams 47-7.

The first quarter could have very easily been renamed the Chris Johnson Quarter as he scored twice for the Titans, once on a 39-yard touchdown run and a 66-yard touchdown reception from Young, giving Tennessee a 14-0 lead with 6 seconds left in the period. Another three drives led to a trio of field goals by Rob Bironas (27, 34 and 36 yards, respectively) driving the Titans advantage to 23-0 at halftime. After a 50-yard FG by Bironas, Johnson would score his third TD of the game, taking the Titans’ lead to 33-0. The Rams would finally get on the scoreboard as Keith Null connected with Randy McMichael on an 11-yard TD pass, narrowing their deficit to 33-7; Alge Crumpler would score on a 1-yard TD pass from Collins and safety Vincent Fuller would return an interception 45 yards for a score, making it 47-7. Young, who got injured in late second qtr, went 6 of 8 for 132 yards and a TD while Collins went 11 of 19 for 154 and a TD; Null went 27 of 43 for 157 yards and 5 interceptions. Johnson led the Titans rushing attack with 117 yards on 28 carries and 2 TD’s and caught 3 passes for 69 yards and a score; Tennessee (6-7) look to hang onto their very slim play-off hopes as they continue their home stand, hosting the Miami Dolphins next Sunday while St. Louis (1-12) returns home to host the Houston Texans next Sunday.

0 Young pulls of a stunning Final Drive as they beat the Cards 20-17! Posted by DieHardFans | at 1:18 AM

In a semi replay of the Rose Bowl dating back to 2006, Vince Young once again out played Matt Leinart, in dramatic fashion as the Titans beat the Arizona Cardinals 20-17. It’s the first time that a team that started 0-6 has won five games on the spin. But that’s exactly what the Titans have done since starting the season left for dead. Young, who also had a shaky start, is set to receive award for “comeback player of the year” as a result of his last few outings. Sunday was by far his best, as he threw for a career-high 387 yards, and hit rookie WR Kenny Britt on the last play of the game from 10 yards. This completed the win. Chris Johnson had another great game on the ground for the Titans, as he ran for an 85-yard score and wrapped up the win with 154 yards. It’s his sixth straight game that has seen him rush over 125 yards. Britt caught 7 passes for 128 yards, including the final one that sealed the deal.

The final drive saw the Tennessee Titans go 99 yards, as Young hit big conversion after conversion, including 3 four down conversions. Leinart went 21 of 31 for 220 yards, executing a solid attack in his replacement for the injured Kurt Warner, who sat out the game with a neck injury, picked up in the last match up. The Titans will need to go all out next week if they want to go to 6-6, as they play against the undefeated Colts.

0 Young shines as Titans record first win of the season against over the Jacksonville Jags! Posted by DieHardFans | at 10:23 PM

Vince Young did everything he needed to do on Sunday to stake a claim to the Titans' starting job for the rest of the season, but did he really do enough to show that he should be around in 2010 and beyond? Young clearly gave the Tennessee Titans a spark. In the most important stat of all, Young is 1-0 this season as a starter while Kerry Collins is 0-6.

Vince Young says the year of watching Kerry Collins from the bench helped him grow and mature. Young helped the Titans (1-6) win their first game of 2009, a 30-13 rout of Jacksonville on Sunday that snapped an eight-game skid dating back to Dec. 21. Now the 2006 Offensive Rookie of the Year, the quarterback who’s called Tennessee's future at the position over n over, has the final nine games to show how much he's really grown and whether he's worth keeping past this season.

Young currently is estimated to count $14.2 million against Tennessee's salary cap in 2010 with a $4.25 million roster bonus due in March. Owner Bud Adams wanted Young starting so the Titans could see what the quarterback could do. "We've got to find out how he's developed over the last two years," Adams said after the game. "He hasn't played that much.

We've got to get him in and find out what he can do. Otherwise we're going to have a high draft choice, and we're going to be looking for another quarterback."Adams liked what he saw as Young was 15-of-18 for only 125 yards, and almost all of his passes were of the dump-off variety. He also showed that he was just as comfortable taking off and running if no one was open downfield. Young was helped greatly by the Titans running more than throwing. Tennessee ran 49 times for a season-high 305 yards, and RB Chris Johnson set a franchise-record with 228 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Receivers that had struggled holding onto the ball didn't drop any this time around.

Questions still remain. How does Young react after a bad game or a couple interceptions? Or when fans boo? He handled himself very well and showed he can do it," the owner said. Coach Jeff Fisher isn't looking past Sunday's visit to San Francisco (3-4) when he was asked how much sway the rest of this season holds on Young's future. "That's not an issue of his or ours. What's important for us and for Vince is just to improve and play well this week. That's all.

0 Titans hit by another crushing defeat as Patriots cruise to 59-0 victory. Posted by DieHardFans | at 4:43 AM

The fate of the Titans has been called into this question this week. After losing to the colts at home, they went on to play what was to be the thrashing of the season, at the hands of the New England Patriots who were on the offensive from the off, in response to their own defeat at the hands of Denver.

Tom Brady was able to show flashes of his former 2007 glory in the previous 5 games, throwing 6 top class touchdown passes, five of which were in just a single quarter, an overall NFL record. Tight end Bo Scaife said. “This is the worst it gets.” “I don’t think anybody in this league is 59 points better than us”.

The Titans are now 0-6, and have lost their last three by 20, 22 and 59 points after making the NFL’s best record, 13-3, last year.

Head Coach Jeff Fisher said “I’m really disappointed and embarrassed”. “Fortunately for me, career-wise, I have never been through anything like this before and, unfortunately, it did happen tonight. I can assure you one thing; it’s not going to happen again.”

Commentators have begun to question their ability to defend and feel they are lost when it comes to throwing the ball. In fact, Titans QB Kerry Collins was pulled after going 2 of 12 passes for minus-7 yards. Replacement QB Vince Young came in and threw an interception, one of five Tennessee turnovers, on his first play.

The only bright side for Sundays Game from the Tennessee Titans was running back Chris Johnson, who had 128 yards on 17 carries, including a 48-yard gain that of course didn’t produce anything.

The team have been left to reflect on the defeat ahead of the next match up.
