DWinzit Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Youth served: Young to start Sunday for Titans Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Rookie quarterback Vince Young will make his first NFL start for the Tennessee Titans on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. The first quarterback taken in this year's draft at No. 3 overall, Young had spot duty in the Titans' first two games. But the winless Titans are 0-3 and hoping the quarterback who led Texas to the national title in January can provide a spark to their offense. The Titans did as much as possible since the Miami loss to prep Young for his debut. Offensive coordinator Norm Chow said Young has made tremendous strides because he is very determined to be a great player. "He studies, he works and he's disciplined. He has great leadership skills. He's determined, and because of that, the work ethic comes along with it. If you're willing to work at it like he is, you continue to get better," Chow said. The Titans almost forced themselves into this decision with the way they have handled the quarterback position this year. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2608713 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsciambi Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Yeah, Vince is gonna get rocked...but would you rather they left Kerry Collins in? That guy is horrible. I think they're doing the right thing here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skin Them Alive Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Yeah, Vince is gonna get rocked...but would you rather they left Kerry Collins in? That guy is horrible. I think they're doing the right thing here. I agree. Most people would. Look at Collins stats. You can't do much worse. If Warner fumbles it will be Leinhart's turn to play.

Chachie Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I wonder if, even in a losing effort, it would be wise to start Vince Young in fantasy football today- just for his rushing yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVUforREDSKINS Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I hope with all the distractions this past week and Vince Youngs ability to run the football he does make the 'boys at least work real hard in order to get a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceviker Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I think the Titans win this for a couple reasons: 1) The homecrowd will be cheering extra hard for Vince, their QB of the future 2) TO has made Dallas thinking about him, not the game 3) Dallas will underestimate the Titans, and thus give the Titans a chance Hust my $0.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idaho fan Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I am thinking about starting the cowgirl defense now and sitting the Chargers D. Got to figure that the Dallas D will look good today. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana_Fan Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I think the Titans will win, not because my hatred for the Cowboys, but I think the Titans will win at least by 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTikiITrust Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Vince Young definetly won't run like he did in college, but he's made some nice passes so far today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praise_gibbs Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Vince looks impressive thus far. The Cowboys aren't eatting him up quite like was expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
