Vince Young is in the Game

10
Vote

Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher is defying the pundits who said that rookie quarterback Vince Young would not play until late this season, if he played at all. In their first game of the season, Fisher inserted Young into the game in the second quarter in relief of veteran Kerry Collins, who had completed just four out of his first 10 pass attempts for 37 yards.

Young completed the first three pass attempts of his professional career for 27 yards before throwing an interception. Former Titan Andre Dyson picked off the underthrown pass, which was intended for David Givens.

UPDATE: On the next possession, Fisher put Collins back in the game. Collins threw an interception to Dyson on his first attempt, and the crowd is starting to boo.

Actually a lot of people expected Young to pop in the game a few times every week. Especially close to the goal line.

I still don't get what Volek did to warrant this situation.

The word on Volek was he did not handle being a starter very well. He defied Norm Chow, and was just too arrogant to be around as a starter, so thats why they brought in Collins. As far as Young goes, I dont care if they start or bench him, bt the platoon QB of giving Young a series or 2 a game is a bad idea, that will back fire in coach Fisher

I agree, Pup. Either start him or bring him in to relieve Collins for a whole game. You can't put in a rookie, pull him after he throws an interception, and say "that's what we were going to do anyway."
