    Whatever. Vince made every NCAA team he faced indecisive, slow, and bad. He's why that happens. Every NFL defense looked like USC last year when they faced Vince.

    USC had a horrible defense,but I am not taking anything away from Young, he played great and was unstoppable.

    interesting tidbit in Sunday's paper about Young

    "Vince Young will lead the Titans in rushing TDs: Offensive coordinator Norm Chow will be increasingly willing to let quarterback Vince Young pull the ball down and take off running, a scenario that will drive defenses crazy.

    With no clear-cut No. 1 running back behind him, the second-year pro will get the call on a good share of short-yardage plunges or rollouts near the goal line.

    Add those to the sort of improvisational, long runs that make Young such an X-factor and he'll be in double digits in rushing scores for sure"

    yea, I read that article and was a little surprised... I honestly think we'll see the opposite - as the year goes on Young will just use his RBs and TEs when the play breaks down, unless he sees a 1st down or TD wide open for him. Maybe that's wishful thinking, but VY seemed very determined last year to not get pegged as a run-first QB.

    I remember that first year decision that the titans would put vince in on the goaline instead of Collins, thinking it was joke, and then they did it. I believe they will do it. I don't think this is a ploy. I get the feeling Vince likes it too. I would. A football player is a football player. Let him do his thing.

    I think Chow is blowing smoke. That's a really good way to get your QB hurt. Maybe he is talking a roll out option type play like he scored on a few times last year, but I cringed when he went in. He was diving for the end zone, but so were several defensive players. Lendale needs to step up.

    You know what's funny to me. Before the Rose Bowl. Any and Everybody was jabbering about how Pete Carrol with that defense and two weeks could shut Vince down. Talking about how great not only that USC offense was but also how great the Defense was. Then the very next day after Vince absolutely demoralized the USC defense and all their fans, all you heard was how overrated the USC defense was. Or how they played so bad.
