After starting the season 0-6, the Tennessee Titans threw caution to the wind and let former starting quarterback Vince Young have his old job back. And following his 15-for-18 passing performance in a 30-13 win over the Jacksonville Jags this afternoon, maybe they wish they would’ve made that decision a few weeks ago. Actually, it was at the order of team owner Bud Adams that Vince start over Kerry Collins today. So head coach Jeff Fisher begrudgingly made the “official” announcement a few days ago and now the Titans have their first win of the 2009 season.
So, where does the …read more

After a surprisingly miserable 0-6 start, Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams has seen enough. Apparently, Mr. Adams has ordered head coach Jeff Fisher to bench starting quarterback Kerry Collins and start Vince Young. And while Kerry certainly can’t be blamed for all the team’s problems this season, I can’t think of a better time to make a decision like this than after your team loses a game 59-0, as the Titans did to New England two weekends ago.
But coach Fisher insisted any quarterback decision will be made between owner and coach:
“We’ve been communicating through the whole process, and we don’t …read more

The Tennessee Titans may have lost their best defensive player, Albert Haynesworth, earlier today. But they weren’t about to lose their starting quarterback. So they gave Kerry Collins a two-year, $15 million deal with $8.5 million guaranteed. Kerry was pleased to stay in Tennessee:
“This is where I wanted to be, and my family loves Nashville. It is just part of the process. Free agency comes about, and there are lots of talks and rumors. At the end of the day, this is where I want to be, and I am happy it worked out.”
Kerry led …read more

Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young is injured inside and out. And he’s on the verge of losing his job and the respect of his teammates. But he really only needs to look as far as teammate Kerry Collins for advice on not only how to handle the very situation he is currently going through, but also how to beat it. According to Kerry, who is now the Titans’ starting quarterback:
“I felt the pressure and I was trying to be something and someone I wasn’t. Being a first-round pick, being the quarterback, I felt I needed …read more

The police report filed after this week’s search for Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young states Titans head coach Jeff Fisher told police Vince’s therapist said he “mentioned suicide several times.” And he was driving around with a gun in his car.

Whatever happened this past week, hopefully it’s in the past. I can’t speak or completely understand what Vince was going through or is still going through. I only hope he can cope with whatever pressure or depression he might be feeling and …read more

Injured Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young spoke out against the rumors that he was tired of playing football today. He took questions for about 15 minutes after practice today (he didn’t practice) and set straight the idea that he was not committed to being the leader of the Titans. It was his first time to speak publicly since a bizarre incident in which Titans head coach Jeff Fisher, concerned about Vince’s mental state, called police for help in locating him Monday night:
“I’m fine. I’m good. I just needed a day-and-a half to get through some …read more

This is getting kind of ridiculous. Yesterday I reported on Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young’s injured knee and his devastation at being booed by his hometown fans. Apparently the Titans had to summon the police to find him yesterday, prompting this statement from the team today:
“Last night, we received a call from people that are closest to Vince informing us that he had left his house in a state of mind that had them concerned; and that he was unreachable, having left his cell phone at the house. Not having all the facts available to …read more

With all the talk of Tom Brady’s season-ending knee injury yesterday, fellow QB Vince Young’s reported MCL sprain kind of went unnoticed. Vince went down in the 4th quarter of a 17-10 win over the Jacksonville Jags. No diagnosis was available from the Titans today. Head coach Jeff Fisher did not have the results of the tests on Vince’s injury when the coach met with the media this afternoon. He promised the results will be shared once available. Coach Fisher said if the injury is a third-degree MCL sprain, Vince could be out a couple …read more
