http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/4212 Recent articles about Kerry Collins en-us NFL action in week 11 was filled with nail biters across the board and a couple of blowouts here and there in between. The Thanksgiving edition of the Power Rankings has many teams thankful for being in the playoff race at this point in the season especially the Jacksonville Jaguars, who in my opinion are the worst team out of the 6-4 bunch in the league…here are the rankings. 1. New Orleans Saints (10-0) – The ultimate test comes to town in the form of the Patriots this Sunday nigh...

They had just come off an incredible season where they went 13-3. In the second round of the playoffs, they lost to the Baltimore Ravens 13-10. They resigned Kerry Collins and were pegged by many experts to be one of the main Super Bowl [...] Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:13:57 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Tennessee_Titans_Reach_the_Playoffs_Now_That_Would_Be_A_Story/1624702 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Tennessee_Titans_Reach_the_Playoffs_Now_That_Would_Be_A_Story/1624702 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Tennessee_Titans_Reach_the_Playoffs_Now_That_Would_Be_A_Story/1624702 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/c/c/cc27b348d5eff6a8b595a0179716afa9dd55c49b/small/Tennesse_Titans_v_deb8.jpg In a continuation of our pre-game cooperation with Music City Miracles, Jimmy was gracious enough to answer five questions I had regarding his Tennessee Titans.  Here they are. 1.  The Titans have enjoyed a resurgence since starting the season 0-6.  Is this due just to the change at quarterback from Kerry Collins to Vince Young, or is there more to the recent turnaround? MCM:  The QB changes has helped because Vince Young has played very efficiently where Collin...

The Titans, at 0-6, didn't stand to lose anything by going with their 26-year-old QB over Kerry Collins. Collins has a QB rating of 62 on the season and at age 36, it's pretty well established he isn't the future. The early results of the Vince Young swap proved profitable. The Titans won, and Young was efficient, going 15-for-18 with one touchdown ...

After a 59-0 loss to New England and having compiled a historic minus-7 yards passing for the afternoon, Collins refused to take personal responsibility for the staggering defeat when quizzed afterward, with quotes supplied by the Tennessean’s Jim Wyatt and David Climer : “I still [...] Sun, 18 Oct 2009 21:41:08 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/VY_8217s_Once_amp_Future_Clipboard_Holder_Is_Quite_Willing_To_Share_The_Blame/1394470 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/VY_8217s_Once_amp_Future_Clipboard_Holder_Is_Quite_Willing_To_Share_The_Blame/1394470 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/VY_8217s_Once_amp_Future_Clipboard_Holder_Is_Quite_Willing_To_Share_The_Blame/1394470 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/f/c/fc2edd31b8cebc61428e29db11bcd9be6f975786/small/New_York_Jets_3534.jpg FOXBORO -- At halftime, Tom Brady had completed 24 of 28 passes for 345 yards and 5 touchdowns, without an interception.

Lost amid the negative headlines has been the emergence of first-year wide receiver Kenny Britt. One of the lone bright spots on this year's surprisingly inept Titan team, Britt is leading all NFL rookies in receptions and receiving yards.

(The game will actually be played at the Meadowlands in East Rutherford, New Jersey.) It will also be a homecoming of sorts for Kerry Collins, who quarterbacked the Giants from 1999-2003. Much has been made of the swirling gusts of wind at the Meadowlands so I thought it would be interesting to run a check on Collins' stats in Giants Stadium, where the Titans will play today. Co...

So the 36-year-old, who is not the most mobile guy, is fully aware what he's going up against Sunday with the Jets having the top-ranked defense in the league."We certainly know they like to blitz and they like to rush the passer," Coll...
