11 of 19 for 125 yards, 1 TD run and no INTs (one wiped off).
I missed the 2nd half, but what do people think of Young against Denver.
Numbers wise he seemed to do good.

Denver called off the dogs in the second half, when VY did his damage
Solid...
2 of 9 early but finished with 7 out of 8. I'm really glad they left him in long enough to get comfortable.

Looked like he'd been told to stick to passing. As we've heard from camp he he has a short memory when it comes to bad trows,just bounces right back.
His mobility definately buys him more time to pass. Kept drawing defenders to him then dropped it underneath the coverage to the RB.This will be bread & butter for moving the chains,very nice.
On longer throws he was on target but left it in the air touch too long so the WR's were left fighting the DB's for the ball.
Managed the clock well in last drive,not really a hurry up offense but was running it well. He had Ganther has his RB at that stage which was ok but not great.
Finally; man does he need to learn how to slide. On his score he got lit up at the goal line & fumbled.Dived on it in the end zone for a gamer's TD
What I didn't understand is why they didn't try to use Young's legs in that fourth down play. I thought they were considering some packages with Young especially for those situations. Instead, it was the typical dive through the middle for the usual no gain.

Its not so much they called off the dogs as they called in the strays. He looked terrible against Denver's first team D. But then, so did the rest of the team.
Vince Young was not that bad. Early Roby wasn't good but he came through later. I really thought our offense was more questionable than the defense before the game, but now I have realized that we have no defense at all whatsoever. Those guys stunk. If you hold the offense next to the defense, the offense looks good by comparison, which is pretty bad because overall, once you take into account the personel that the Broncos were using defensively in the 2nd half... the offense was not really that good as a whole. I can find very little criticism for Vince Young. Despite how badly things went it is clear to me that the potential exists for him to have a stellar career in this league.
The team has a big problem, finding it is another problem. Is it personal or a coaching problem?
The bootlegs that Denver constantly burned us on is a good place to start looking.

VY looked and played like a rookie last night. He piled his numbers up against Dnver's 3rd and 4th stringers.
Hey, its still preseason and VY has to learn some basic fundamentals which are going to take a lot of time. Thats why he got so many snaps last night.
VY has to learn the cerebal side of his position in the NFL, get the footwork down, learn his progression of reads. The worst thing he can do at this popint is take off running everytime he is confused or pressured in preseason, when the outcome does not matter.

I agree, If Denver can do this to us in a preseason game what do you think will happen when we play Indy twice.fitantitans said:
We really need to look at the coaching, this mess is getting real old real fast.
Indy doesn't/won't need to run a naked bootleg. Even with Peyton's "protection problems", they won't need to scheme to get yards. We haven't stopped him in 3 years.
just think, if the defense plays this bad throughout the regular season maybe we can pick up either Calvin Johnson or Dwayne Jarrett and actually have a playmaking wide receiver..
That was the first time he has see a team blitz him non-stop like that. Did you expect him to dominate? Pre-season is a learning experience.

I'm learning how much I hate the Titans these days. Luv ya Blue!! House of Pain, etc. We might have lost games back then, but at least we kept a shred of pride by knocking someone's block off.
The 3 drops didn't help him.... I'm thinking he's had about 5 or 6 drops in two games... A couple of those last night were on 3rd down and that sucks for a young QB trying to find a rhythm...
4/11 3 drops = a possible 7/11 and 100 more yards
11/19 3 drops= a possible 14/19 and 25 more yards
So Vince could be 21/30 for over 300 yards under the best of circumstances... People around the nation would be singing from the mountains if he had those stat's... such a fine line...
The boy's need to step up and catch the freaking ball..

That would be fine if he didn't miss a couple of easy throws and threw a pick that was called back for something that didn't in any way affect his throw.
the best thing in vince's two game appearences? no botched snaps. it seems like everyday we read in the tennessean that he had one or teo fumbled snaps, but when it's game time he pulls through.
GoT said:
They may very well have been playing a softer defence when he did most of his damage.
But, so what!!
The more he plays, and the better he performs when he plays, will do nothing but help build his confidence.
And, it's not like this team could use a shot of confidence, right now.
Well the couple of easy passes he missed and the int would look ok if he had the stats from above..Titans2008 said:
Did you notice how poor a few of his shot gun snaps where? I was amazed he was able to "haul in" a few of them. The snaps were terrible. Who was he working with?bigtitan53279 said:
Gloomy season prediction: Vince Young will chase a shotgun snap down 21 yards behind the line of scrimmage and return it a gross of 64 yards (or a net of 44) for a TD. The play will take place at the opposition 43. It will be second and seven. (this play will not be the difference in the game)
