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.
