Tennessee Titans Tickets - Is Young Back?
Translate: Polish German Russian
The last preseason game for teams means that most of the starters get to rest while others get to show why they deserve either a starting spot or a spot on the roster at all. One of the most interesting games for preseason's week four was the matchup between the Green Bay Packers and the Tennessee Titans in Tennessee. The Titans ended up on top 27-13, but the biggest story of the night wasn't the win. All eyes were on the Titans' quarterback Vince Young. The former starter had a rough (to put it mildly) season in 2008, and many were wondering if the best of Young was behind him. He proved that he still could have moment of brilliance, finishing the game seven of 12 with 85 yards, one touchdown, no interceptions and a passer rating of 108.0. On top of that, he added a second touchdown through his rushing effort. In the game, he had five attempts for 38 yards. His efforts show that Young has yet to give up the chance that he could again be the Titans starting quarterback. After the game, Young gave credit to others for his top performance. He was quoted on the Titans' website as saying, "I'm pleased with everybody. Like I've said, it's not all about me. I'm very proud of the offensive line giving me a chance in the pocket. They did a great job of making a pocket for me and the receivers did a great job of reading the same coverage that we'd been hearing all week that they would run. They did a great job of taking care of their responsibilities. Overall, everybody took care of their responsibilities." He also said that he feels much more comfortable this year with the offense than he was last season. No matter who takes the field for the Titans, Tennessee Titans tickets are going to be popular this season, which fans can get online. Even before he made it into college, Vince Young was making headlines in his home city of Houston, Texas. Even with the hype, he redshirted his first year with the University of Texas. After that, he could hardly be stopped. In the three seasons he played with Texas, he had a record of 30-2 in the games he started. He also tallied 6,040 yards, ranking him fifth in the school's history. That total helped him to tally 9,167 yards in total offense and 81 combined touchdowns. Vince Young did exactly as expected in the 2006 NFL Draft and was picked up by the Titans in the first round as the third overall pick. That season, he was immediately elevated to a starter, playing in 15 games and starting 13, finishing with 2,199 passing yards, 12 touchdowns and 13 interceptions as well as rushing for 552 yards and seven touchdowns. The next year, he started all 15 games he played in for 2,546 passing yards, nine touchdowns and 17 interceptions as well as 395 rushing yards and three touchdowns. In the first game of the 2008 season, Young injured his knee and the Titans went with Kerry Collins as the starter. He had some trouble dealing with losing his starting role, causing some bad publicity for the quarterback. He ended up playing two more games last season, but has now been regulated to Collins' backup until he can win his starting spot back again.
