Titans Team Report
The Tennessee Titans enter the 2010 season with the optimism that they are the team that closed the year 8-2 after an unexpectedly dreadful 0-6 start in 2009.But that optimism has to be tempered with the fact that the Titans have questions aplenty that have to address on both sides of the football.Offensively, the team is centered around extraordinary running back Chris Johnson, who became only the sixth player in NFL history to run for 2,000 yards in a season. But as amazing as CJ2K is, he may not be the player that holds the key to success in his hands.That "honor" falls to quarterback Vince Young, who reclaimed the starting position last year after the 0-6 slide and played better than nearly anyone could have predicted.Now, it is up to Young, as he...

Reason for concerns: AFC South
A capsule look at reasons for concern among teams in the AFC South: Houston Texans 1. The running game. Even though Arian Foster averaged 6 yards rushing in preseason, there's no guarantee coach Gary Kubiak will have the kind of running game he wants, one that ranks among the top 10. Foster started only two games as a rookie. Steve Slaton has a toe injury after being injured last season. 2. Interior offensive line. It was a weak point last season after starting Gs Chester Pitts and Mike Brisiel sustained season-ending injuries.
Leftwich, Hardesty injured in preseason finales
First, no Ben Roethlisberger. Now, maybe no Byron Leftwich for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Dennis Dixon, you're up next. Leftwich, expected to be the fill-in starter for the suspended Roethlisberger at quarterback for the Steelers, sprained his left knee in the second quarter as Pittsburgh (3-1) beat the starter-less Carolina Panthers 19-3 in the preseason finale Thursday night.

Biography |
|
Vincent Paul Young, Jr. (born May 18, 1983 in Houston, Texas), commonly Vince Young, or "VY", is an award-winning American football player. A dual-threat quarterback, Young is the current starting quarterback for the National Football League Tennessee Titans. Young played college football for the University of Texas Longhorns before turning professional. As a college junior, Young was one of the three finalists for the Heisman Trophy, finishing second to Reggie Bush. Following the Heisman voting, Young led his team to a BCS National Championship in a classic thriller against the defending BCS national champion University of Southern California Trojans in the 2006 Rose Bowl. The game featured two Heisman Trophy winners as Young's opponents: both USC quarterback Matt Leinart and USC running back Reggie Bush. The game was called one of the most-anticipated games in the history of college football. In 2006, ESPN named Young as the 10th best college football player of all time.[1] Following the season, Young decided he would forgo his last year of NCAA college eligibility and become a professional player by entering the 2006 NFL Draft, earning the No. 3 overall pick. In his rookie season, Young was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and earned a roster spot on the AFC Pro Bowl team.
