The Tennessee Titans made a stunning decent as they missed the playoffs this year after going 13-3 in 2008.

If the Titans are going to make the playoffs again they need to solve the problem with their defense.

The Titans problems with their defense can be traced back to the departure of defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth.

Obviously, when a team loses someone as good as Haynesworth you need to change things up.

They didn’t as they asked defensive tackle Jason Jefferson to just step in and pickup where Haynesworth left off.

That proved to be a huge mistake as the Titans defense wasn’t the same as the previous year.

In the end if the Titans are going to improve their defense they need to change it what the players on defense do well.

Many times in the National Football League when a owner steps in it usually not for the betterment of his football team.

However, when Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams stepped in after a 59-0 loss to the New England Patriots on October 18th it was the right thing to do.

Adams told the Tennessean that he wants to see quarterback Vince Young be the starter for the rest of the season.

Last year Collins had seven interceptions for the entire 2008 season, but this year through six games Collins has already thrown eight.

The problem is that Collins is the classic pocket passing quarterback that has no mobility.

Teams realize this and are taking away the running game and are forcing the Titans to beat them via Collins.

Starting Young would allow the Titans to sustain more drives as he is a great scrambler.

In the end with Collins on pace to throw as many interceptions as Young did when he was a starter the Titans might as well try Young out to see if he improved.

Many people may think the Tennessee Titans are in trouble now they haven’t seen anything yet.

According to Chris Mortensen of ESPN, via ProFootballTalk.com, head coach Jeff Fisher is several weeks away from inserting quarterback Vince Young into the starting lineup.

Simply, the Titans are screwed once quarterback Kerry Collins is gone.

Right there is no reason not to try out Young as the offense right now is dependent of the quarterback making plays as teams are attempting to take away the running game.

As bad as Young’s reeading ability of defenses if they were to use a wildcat offense around him with the incorporation of passing that would role him out or other various things he would be fine.

That is what makes Denver Broncos head coach Josh MacDaniels so good.

MacDaniels is so immagiunative that his motioning of the quarterbacks in wild cat formations will be the next evoution.

However, I highly doubt that will happen as this is the Titans and they how some how have taken a solid team and turned it into a pile of crap.

In the end the Titans are screwed for years to come unless Young has some kind of revelation.

The Tennessee Titans season is quickly going into the toilet as they are 0-5 on the season.

With their offense struggling it is time for quarterback Vince Young to get a second chance.

The problem with the offense is that teams are now keying on taking away the running game, which they relied upon to win.

With quarterback Kerry Collins past his prime, along with the Titans having above average wide receivers, the passing game isn’t getting the job done.

The difference between Young and Collins is that Young is a mobile quarterback that can scramble and Collins is the classic pocket passing quarterback.

Ypung will be able to make plays the Titans desperately need.

In the end this their only viable alternative.

Many people in the media are blaming the departure of defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth for the Tennessee Titans problems on defense.

With the run defense current ranking Haynesworth isn’t the problem.

Going into their week four game against the Jacksonville Jaguars the Titans are ranked second in the National Football League in run defense.

The Titans are only giving up 60.7 yards total in regards to the running game.

However, the Titans defense is giving up 274.7 yards passing, which is ranked 29th.

So, what is the problem with the pass defense?

The problem is that defensive ends Kyle Vanden Bosch and Jevon Kearse through three games have combined for only one sack.

In the end once the Titans find a way to put more pressure on the quarterback they should be fine.

Every year there is one wide receiver from that year’s rookie class that comes in and makes an immediate impact.

This year the Titans have that wide receiver in Kenny Britt.

Britt recorded four catches for 85 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers defense, which was the best in the National Football League last year.

What does help for Britt is not only is he executing his routes well he also has a good wide receiver opposite of him in a healthy Justin Gage.

The development makes the Titans one of the most dangerous teams in the league considering that they already have a solid running game.

Unfortunately, the Titans season rest in the hands of quarterback Kerry Collins who messed up the coin toss last night and has not played in two full consecutive seasons since 2005.

Collins will turn 37 in December and that means at anytime one good solid hit could result in an injury.

In the end as long as Collins stays healthy Titans fans have every reason to be excited.

The Tennessee Titans took Vince Young in 2006 with the hopes of being their franchise quarterback, which has not yet panned out.

With the way Young’s contract is set up 2009 will most likely be his last with the Titans if he doesn’t show improvement in the preseason.

According to ESPN.com, Young’s salary cap numbers for the next three years are 2009 $4.62 million 2010 $14.21 million and 2011 $15.21 million

The Titans would save $9.29 million if the Titans were to cut Young after the 2009 season.

The thing is Young did not look good in the Hall of Fame game against the Buffalo Bills as he looked like he did not know the offense.

That is not good as Titan offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger is in his second back with the team.

To be honest I am not surprized considering that Young on the Wonderlic test before the 2006 National Football League Draft scored really bad.

In the end Young is not smart enough to be a player in the NFL.
