In one of the greatest 4th quarter comebacks in recent NFL History, Vince Young of the Tennessee Titans was able to rally his team to score 24 unanswered points over the New York Giants.

Young ended the game 24-35 for 249 passing yards, 2 touchdowns and 0 interceptions. He ended the game with a 107.9 QB rating. Add 69 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown to that, and I’ll say he’s had his best performance of the year.

What Vince showed the other night is just a mere glimpse of what he can do. He is proving to the world why he was drafted 3rd overall. But Young can’t get all the credit for the win over the Giants. Pacman Jones and the defense stepped up big picking off Manning more times than I can count.

The Titans are now 4-4 since Young became the starter and are 4-7 on the year.

Vince Young and the Tennessee Titans (2-6) had a rough showing against the Jacksonville Jaguars (5-3) this past Sunday. Young was 15 of 36 for 163 yards, throwing 1 touchdown and 3 interceptions. He also had 4 rushing attempts for 14 yards.

This was a tough game for Young to establish the offense as they were playing from behind the entire game. The turnovers didn’t help either. One of Young’s interceptions was returned for a touchdown, and a second one was nearly returned for a td, but Young was able to run down Rashean Mathis and tackle him on the 1 yard line. That was about the only positive thing to come out of this game. The fact that Young showed he has speed. He was able to run down a corner back 40 yards. He didn’t have an angle or anything, Young just straight up ran him down.

Perhaps what the Titans need is to let Young open up the offense a bit more by calling more roll out plays. They need to use his speed and agility to get outside the pocket and create mismatches. By buying some time outside the pocket, WRs will have more time to get open.

Young wasn’t expected to win this game, or to even put up big stats on a solid Jag defense. Young is still at the bottom of the learning curve. But there’s no doubt about it, the Jags will be seeing a lot of Vince Young for years to come.

Next up is Baltimore.

Vince has been waiting for this game since the Texans passed him over in the draft this year. He got his revenge this weekend, defeating the Texans 28 – 22 at LP Field in Nashville. I have to say Vince just looks better every week. He didn’t do much in the passing game, as far as yards are concerned. However you can tell he and his receivers are really starting to work well together. He connected with 5 different receivers for a total on 87 yards, and 1 touchdown to Bobby Wade. The exciting thing for me this weekend, was watching Vince finally start to show his running skills. He rushed only 4 times on Sunday, but for a total of 44 yards. The best of which was a 20 yards scamper into the end zone for his one rushing touchdown of the day. I look forward to seeing what the Titans can do next weekend in Jacksonville. The Titans should have lots of confidence going into this game, knowing that Texans just defeated the Jaguars the week prior. It’s going to be an exciting game.

Go Titans!

Well it finally happened, Vince Young took the Titans to victory for the first time beating the Washington Redskins 25 – 22. Vince showed some great signs of improvement, he looked very comfortable in the pocket. Although you have to give some credit to his offensive line as well, they seem to finally be working together and giving Vince some protection. Vince threw for 161 yards and 1 touchdown pass to Brandon Jones, and also rushed 6 times for 10 yards. Although Vince played very well today and seems to have the team finally rallying around him, i gotta give this weeks player of the game to Travis Henry with his 178 rushing  yards and 1 touchdown.

The Titans really showed some signs of things to come, congrats to them on there first victory of the year.
