QB Young stumbles but Titans edge Packers
Associated Press
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers needed only one play to show that he's ready to go. But Vince Young still doesn't quite seem warmed up for the regular season, even after the Tennessee Titans' 23-21 victory over Green Bay in Thursday's preseason finale at Lambeau Field.
Rodgers threw a 68-yard touchdown pass to Greg Jennings on his first -- and only -- play from scrimmage, then spent the rest of the evening holding a clipboard and playing catch on the sideline.
"We're definitely ready," Rodgers said. "We had a good performance last week. One-and-done this week."
Young made a few big plays but failed to capitalize on several scoring chances despite playing with good field position against the Packers' defensive reserves.
Young drove the Titans inside the Packers' 10-yard line four times in the first half, but Tennessee came away with only three field goals. Young led the Titans' No. 1 offense to only two field goals in Tennessee's three previous preseason games.

"We definitely have some things to work on," Young said.
Young stood on the Titans' sideline with a bandage on his right hand in the second half after bruising his thumb early in the second quarter. Titans coach Jeff Fisher said he didn't expect Young to be limited in practice next week.
"He's fine," Fisher said. "He's just got a bruise. He really could have finished."
Fisher brushed off concerns about the first-team offense's inability to score in the preseason, and said Young handled the offense well Thursday.
"He felt really comfortable with what he was doing," Fisher said. "We're disappointed that we couldn't get the ball in the end zone, but sometimes when you play a preseason opponent in the regular season, you're going to be selective about what you're doing, as they were.

What's going to happen is teams will come out and throw early against the Titans to gain a big lead because they know Vince won't be able to lead them back with his arm.
If teams come out and try to run the ball early against the Titans they're playing Titans ball because that's what they want teams to do. Don't be surprised to see Jacksonville take a big early lead to force Vince to pass to win the game.

Vince Young played the entire 1st half of their last game, Russell didn't even play at all. And Young was playing against the packers reserve players and still played like shit lol.
McFadden has been impressive no matter what kind of lies mooreblock tries to come up with. His performance and stats don't lie thus far in the games he's played.

titans intrested in chad jackson......
The Titans have contacted agent David Canter about possibly bringing in Chad Jackson, released by the Patriots, in for a workout.
Jackson is in currently Oakland visiting with the Raiders and the Cincinnati Bengals are also interested in the former second-round pick.
According to Canter, Jackson is good friends off the field with Titans quarterback Vince Young as they formed a friendship at several rookie gatherings during their first year in the NFL.
Jackson caught 13 passes his rookie season then tore his ACL after two games in 2007 and was placed on injured reserve. He had seven catches for 66 yards and two touchdowns in preseason.
The Titans have also spoken to the agent for receiver Glenn Martinez, who was released by the Denver Broncos in final cuts, about possibly arranging a visit for him.
“We’ve had one conversation about it, and they said they would possibly be interested in bringing him in for a visit,” agent Brett Tessler said. “There’s probably not a better receiver out there that’s not currently on a roster.”
Martinez caught 14 passes for the Broncos last year and had an 80-yard punt return for a touchdown against Tennessee.
