SUMMARY: Though it hasn't been made official, it appears rookie QB Vince Young will play most or all the second half in the preseason opener this Saturday against the Saints. Asked how much Young would play in his professional debut, Titans offensive coordinator Norm Chow replied, "A lot. I don’t know exactly. Jeff [Fisher] and I have talked about it one time, but it’ll be a lot." Young is already excited about his opportunity Saturday. "I think I’m about 60 to 65 percent [ready]," Young said. "I won’t know until the game starts how ready I am, but I’m getting myself ready and getting prepared. That’s why I was trying to get the guys pumped up today and motivated, and letting them know that we’ve got a game this week, so let’s turn it up another notch."

I think VY will destroy the Saints d. That's not saying much but our defense had better come to play and give up less than 10 pts. in the 1st half and a maximum 14 in the second half. I predict three second half TD's for the Titans and ultimately a win to by the count of 17-31. Also, look for a Pacman TD in the first half. :winker:
 
Haven't heard anything about Bush playing or not, but he'll have had two full weeks in camp, hopefully he'll play some. Deuce won't play much.

I'm predicting a win, but who knows what else.
 
I'd think it more likely that Young would play the second and third quarters rather than the whole second half. I wouldn't think they'd want Volek out there the entire first half in the first pre-season game, and giving Young the middle two quarter would still give Mauck and Hodges some needed reps. I'm looking forward to it, but in truth, I'm more excited about what Volek and the starters look like than Young. Young's time is coming, though.
 
I'm really looking forward to seeing how Vince handles snaps from under the centre & his passing game in general.

While it would be fun to see him take off & run for a truck load of yards & TD's I wouldn't necessarily see that as progress unless he has a half decent passing effort too.

I can't see them letting Brees take any snaps against our 1st team D so we could see a lot of Bush action against them which would be a great test for the D.

U can never see too much Bush! :lol:

man, those rose colored glasses are shining bright.

I am more interested in how:

1.) How Volek handles being the #1 QB.
2.) who shines at RB
3.) is Givens a #1 WR
4.) can the WR's get separation from the defense
5.) can the 1st team defense step up
6.) If Jones can keep his emotions intact when a WR gets in his face
7.) if Young can handle the snaps from center
8.) If Young can stop getting the ball knocked down at the line of scrimmage
9.) Can Bironas still be accurate
10.) Has Chow learned anything
 
It's time to be optimistic, and excited!!! If all the nay sayers are right, we want have the chance later...

I have high hopes, but even if I'm wrong...When was the last time we had so many new exciting players ?!! Can't wait to see them play.
 
I've not found a source for preseason stats which is probably a good thing. ;)

McNair's first real action took place in game #15 his rookie year. He was 16-for-27 for 203 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT. Only 10 yards on three runs. It was a 17-24 loss to the Lions.
 
I'm really looking forward to see how the defense has improved. We should have improved at about 6 positions based on replacing players and more maturity. From what I saw in practice Saturday they also have alot more attitude.

As for VY I hope he takes off and shows us some of what he did in college. He needs to be free to play his game.
 
harsh? naw... silent bob's friend jay is harsh

I take it that list is arranged in order of importance/priority...:hmm:

So in other words you are more interested in seeing your friend Pacman Jones again then you are your centerpiece/franchise qb of the future we have in this young champion selected in with the 3rd overall pick in the nfl draft. You have him slotted between conduct fouls and the accuracy of the kicker. When you told me you would be wearing a purple ravens #9 jersey to the game, I thought you were only kidding. Well at least you have your eye on the carrot!

I don't see how anyone couldn't get hyped up to see VY's first snaps from under center. How about Barry Sanders? Now that's one way to make an entrance. :yes:

Anybody know how McNair did in his VERY first preseason action?

no, but i found this

1995: Saw his first NFL action on the Oilers' last two series of the fourth quarter at Cleveland (11/5/95) after beginning the game as a dressed-third QB. Saw first significant action of the season versus the Lions (12/10/95), replacing Chris Chandler (mononucleosis) at the start of the second half. First completion was a five-yarder to WR Haywood Jeffries, while first TD pass was a 39-yard strike to Sanders. Made his first NFL start versus the Jets (12/17/95), connecting on 13-of-27 for 198 yards and one TD (Jeffires).

yes it is in order of importance. The first 6 and possibily the ninth thing listed should happen before Young even gets in the game. They are more important (including Jones) than Young getting into the game.
