[Tennessee Titans News]

Up to the minute Tennessee Titans news from GoTeamsGo. We'll find the latest TN Titans news so you can chat with Titan football fans here.

We have the utmost respect for Steve Fisher as a head coach, but we do not think even he could prevent the Titans from finishing dead last in the division this year.
Tennessee traded away former MVP Steve McNair to Baltimore, leaving the quarterbacking duties in the hands of Billy Volek. Now Volek has always done a nice job coming off the bench, but it is totally different when you are the starting QB, and we are not sure Volek is up for that challenge. That may mean that Vince Young may get a shot to show what he can do as early as late this season when the Titans are out of the playoff hunt. Personally we feel that Matt Leinart would have been a much better selection with the third pick in the draft, as we think that Young will be another in a long line of quarterbacks that was great in college, but whose game did not translate well to the pro level.

Young is a better runner than passer, and he passing mechanics leave much to be desired. The disgruntled Chris Brown is still the first string running back for now, with Travis Henry and second round draft pick LenDale White of USC adding some decent depth. Brown is the best blocker of the trio, which is key since the Titans do not have a true third-down back. The receiving corps is adequate at best, putting even more pressure on the quarterback position.

As bad as the offense looks, the defense should be even worse! This unit was horrible to begin with last season, and it now lost two starters in linebacker Rocky Boiman and safety Tank Williams. Given that this team plays in a division with two of the best teams in the AFC, and with even Houston improved this year, we project the Tennessee Titans to finish in the AFC South cellar in 2006.

Prediction for 2006: 4th Place AFC South
