Titans get any further in 2008? Exactly
how far WILL they go? We will examine that
situation today.

The Tennessee Titans
have gained a well-earned reputation as
one of the more stable franchises in the
NFL. They have one of the best head coaches
in the league in Jeff Fisher, who is starting
his 14th full year with the franchise -
the longest current tenure of any NFL coach.
At the start of the 2006 season, Tennessee
was left for dead as it entered the season
without Steve McNair, a raw rookie Vince
Young set to hold a clipboard, and tired
veteran Kerry Collins, well removed from
his Super Bowl days, as the stop-gap at
quarterback. When Collins struggled, Young
got an early baptism under fire, and the
wins slowly started to come. By the homestretch,
Tennessee was a darkhorse in the wildcard
race, finishing with an 8-8 record, and
Young was named to the Pro Bowl.

Last season the Titans continued to evolve,
coming in with a 10-6 record and qualifying
for the playoffs. However, Young did not
progress as expected under center. He completed
62% of his passes, which was eleven percentage
points above his 2006 numbers, and threw
just nine TD passes against 17 interceptions.
His rushing numbers were way down as well,
and he dealt with a quadriceps injury that
bothered his movement. Vince Young without
movement is like American Idol without Simon.
Now people are wondering whether Young will
ever really develop into a polished NFL passer,
and how far the Titans can really get with
him at the controls.
Norm Chow was
fired, and new offensive coordinator Mike
Heimerdinger was brought in, with the idea
of adding another dimension to the Tennessee
passing attack. But there were no genuine
downfield threats added at the wide receiver
spot. If the Titans want to continue throwing
short passes and running the ball, however,
they can get by. Alge Crumpler is probably
the most accomplished addition at a skill
position, and Tennessee took a shot in the
first round with East Carolina running back
Chris Johnson. He's got some amazing speed,
and Fisher and Heimerdinger would like to
get a little "thunder & lightning" thing
going with him and holdover running back
LenDale White, who gained 1110 yards last
season.
Tennessee is going to once again be bad
news for opposing quarterbacks this season.
Kyle Vanden Bosch is one of the better pass
rushers in the league, and if newly-acquired
defensive end Jevon Kearse works out, it
will help offset the loss of Antwan Odom
and Travis LaBoy, who had fourteen sacks
between them. Defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth
can rush the QB too, but where he is truly
valuable is against the run; when he was
healthy, the Titans were one of the NFL's
toughest teams to run against. When he was
out, they gave up generous yardage to opposing
running backs.
On an all-around basis the defense is pretty
solid. The big question is how far Young
can stretch the field. he's a winner, no
doubt, but if he continues to be just an
athlete playing quarterback, a Super Bowl
berth is going to be out of reach. If he
starts to harness his string arm in a more
productive way, there is a chance to pull
some playoff upsets and claw their way to
the Big One.
