LATEST STORIES FROM TITANS LOCKER

The Tennessee Titans got solid QB play in 2011

The Titans are likely going to open up the competition at QB for the 2012 season but that doesn’t change the fact that Matt Hasselbeck turned in a very solid season for the Titans in 2011.  Hasselbeck led the Titans to a 9-7 record as they just missed the playoffs.  He played in 16 games (all starts) for the Titans last year and he completed 319 of 518 passes (61.6%) for...

Jake Locker could get his first big shot for the Tennessee Titans this weekend

The Titans are playing the Indianapolis Colts on the road this weekend in a “must win” game.  Matt Hasselbeck injured his calf last weekend and rookie Jake Locker played most of the game.  This is a perfect spot to give Jake Locker his first NFL start, as long as Hasselbeck isn’t healthy enough to go.  Locker has played in 4 games for the Titans so far this year and he has...

Tennessee Titans (6-5) vs. Buffalo Bills (5-6)

The Titans are chasing the Texans in the AFC South and they are also trying to get a Wild Card spot in the playoffs, so this game in Buffalo is HUGE for them.  The Bills have lost four games in a row, but they showed some fight against the Jets in New Jersey yesterday before falling a tad short in the end.  Here is a look at the matchups in this game: When the Titans have the ball...

Mike Munchak has got the Tennessee Titans playing tough in 2011

51-year old head coach Mike Munchak is doing a solid job as the Titans are playing better than most “experts” thought they would.  He has also set up a perfect mentoring system at QB as Matt Hasselbeck is showing rookie QB Jake Locker the right way to do things.  I am a tad surprised that Munchak has not got his offensive line blocking well in the running game, as he...

Marc Mariani has been productive in the return game for the Tennessee Titans

24-year old WR Marc Mariani has only caught 4 passes for 18 yards (4.5 avg) so far this year (the only catches of his NFL career), but that is not where he excels.  The is an outstanding return man for the Titans.  He has returned 10 kickoffs for 244 yards (24.4 avg) and 15 punts for 144 yards (9.6 avg) so far this year.  Teams have been kicking away from him a lot this year,...

The Tennessee Titans need some of their young WRs to step up

Houston Texans 41, Tennessee Titans 7

The Tennessee Titans need to kickstart the running game

The Tennessee Titans are averaging a pitiful 66.6 rushing yards per game so far this year and 3.0 yards per carry.  The Titans hope the return of blow-up, blocking fullback Ahmard Hall will help kickstart the Titans’ running game.  Chris Johnson held out after the lockout and it’s showing in his play so far this year.  Johnson has played in all five games for the Titans...

The Tennessee Titans lose safety Chris Hope for a while

The Titans have lost starting safety Chris Hope for the next 4-6 weeks due to a broken forearm.  He has played in 2 games for the Titans so far this year and he has 10 tackles.  29-year old Jordan Babineaux will take over Hope’s starting spot until he’s ready to return to action.  Babineaux has played pretty well so far this year for the Titans, so they think he will...

Chris Johnson has looked awful for the Tennessee Titans so far this year

26-year old RB Chris Johnson held out after the lockout and it has appeared to hurt his game.  In his first three years with the Titans, Johnson played in 47 games in which he carried the ball 925 times for 4,598 yards (5.0 ypc) with 34 TD runs.  He also caught 137 passes for 1,008 yards (7.4 avg) with 4 TD grabs in his first three years with the Titans.  This year though, Johnson...
