titanalysis -- jax 10 - tn 17

did you catch the titans vs jags game today? the titans offense under vince young could not get anything solid going. the managed to score 10 points, to the jags 7, but they were never really rolling. at 4:14 to go in the 4th, young mr young went down with a knee injury, and in came kerry collins. collins immediately took the team down the field & scored a t-d. why is it so easy for mr collins? the coaches & commentators continue to harp on how the receivers are letting young down, but those same receivers can catch collins with no problem. hmm... seems the problem might be the thrower, not the throwees, eh? i think that's a question the coaches need to answer.

if you did watch the game, you saw the terrible call at the end that took away the titans final 1st down and put them back in a 4th down situation. there was no visual evidence that lendale white did not get the first down. in other words - it was clear he got the first down, and that would have been the decisive end of the game. instead, the titans defense had to get back out on the field one more time, and the game ended with haynesworth sacking gerrard and then haynesworth skipping around the field. there is something oddly intimidating about a 350 lb man skipping.

cortland finnegan had 2 interceptions on the day. yeah, he's still the man.
