Munchak says Locker will start vs. Bucs

Me too. That's our future offense, right there.

 

Yeeeeeeepppppaaaadddddoooooooddooooooo

 

Its Locker Time!!!

 

Jake Locker will be the starting quarterback for the Titans in their preseason game at Tampa Bay on Friday, coach Mike Munchak said after practice today. It will be Locker’s first NFL start.

Locker and Matt Hasselbeck are competing to win the starting job for the regular season, but Munchak has said not to read much into which quarterback starts the preseason games.

Hasselbeck, the 14th-year pro, started the preseason opener against the Seahawks last Saturday. In three series of work, Hasselbeck was 5-of-9 passing for 45 yards, along with two interceptions.

Locker, the first-round pick last year, came on with the Titans trailing 10-0 and went 7-of-13 for 80 yards. The second-year pro directed an 11-play, 79-yard drive that ended with a 32-yard field goal.

Neither Hasselbeck nor Locker played in the second half against the Seahawks.

You win.

 

I hope for his sake he plays well every single game and never gets hurt. If not, Titans fans will turn on him in a heartbeat. Go Jake!!!!

 

McKayla is impressed.

 

No she isn't

 

Great news! I hope he performs exceptionally well and is named our starter after the game. Word is we may announce our starter after this 2nd pre-season game, right?
