When the Titans
and Jaguars get their season started
in Jacksonville on Sunday, all eyes will
be on the quarterbacks. Everyone will
be watching Vince Young to see how he’ll
avoid a sophomore slump and the dreaded
Madden Curse. Additional scrutiny will
be on David Garrard to see how he handles
being the starter in Jacksonville. NFL
betting experts and amateurs will be
especially glued to the screen to see
which way the two teams might be headed
this season.
Young has a
lot to live up to after leading the Titans
to an 8-8 record in his rookie season.
Repeating or bettering that record will
be difficult though, after he lost some
of his supporting cast. Gone are Young’s
No. 1 receiver Drew Bennett and starting
running back Travis Henry. To make matters
worse the Titans did little or nothing
to replace either of them. Young’s
best target now is the unproven Brandon
Jones, while LenDale White and Chris Brown
are expected to share the rushing duties.
In Jacksonville
the Jaguars have a punishing defense
once again, but that could be meaningless
if their offense doesn’t get in gear.
Now that Byron Leftwich is gone, it will
be up to Garrard to get the Jaguars back
to the playoffs. The running game remains
solid behind the duo of Maurice Jones-Drew
and Fred Taylor, but the passing game is
a question mark. Not only has Garrard been
unreliable in the past, but his batch of
receivers is void of a real No. 1. Matt
Jones is the closest thing Garrard has
to a go-to receiver, but he doesn’t
match up to other No. 1 targets around
the league.
If Garrard plays
as badly as he did the last time he faced
Tennessee as the Jags’ starter,
Jacksonville is doomed for sure on Sunday.
Last year in Week 15 the Jags and Titans
faced off for the second time. Previously
in Week 9, Jacksonville had crushed Tennessee
37-7 as a 9.5-point favorite on the NFL
odds, with Garrard throwing three touchdown
passes. Week 15 was a whole different story
as Garrard basically threw away the game
for the Jaguars. In that contest Jacksonville
completely outplayed Tennessee, posting
396 yards of offense, while their defense
held the Titans to only 98 total yards.
Vince Young did nothing on the day as Jacksonville
limited him to 8-of-15 passes for 85 yards
with no touchdowns, and kept him to only
four rushing yards on four carries.
Garrard messed
up what should have been in easy win,
throwing three interceptions and losing
one fumble in the game. Two of Garrard’s interceptions were returned
for touchdowns and his fumble was also
returned for a 92-yard touchdown. Garrard’s
turnovers amounted to 21 Tennessee points
in a 24-17 loss. The Jags were a 4-point
road favorite on the NFL odds chart in
that game.
In their 2007
season opener, the Jaguars are a 6.5-point
favorite with all their hopes for the
game and likely their season resting
on Garrard’s shoulders.
