NFC East Blog: Are the Titans finished?

by Bill Young

The Tennessee Titans just lost a game to a team that got utterly humiliated the week before, the Washington Redskins. Randy Moss was ineffective and Vince Young had another tantrum. At a certain point, should coach Jeff Fisher just get rid of Vince Young for good and start over? Start Kerry Collins when healthy or another available veteran QB like Jeff Garcia. Even Daunte Culpepper would be a step in the right direction.
Vince Young is clearly a head case who is not mentally tough. He is the definition of a player Fisher can't tolerate. Forget about Randy Moss being a distraction. He provided holes for others to take advantage of. The playcalling, however, was atrocious. Probowl RB Chris Johnson did not get enough carries against the Redskins.
How did the Redskins hold down the league's top scoring offense to 16 points? Simple. Cover the stars and let such great players like Bo Scaife win the game. The Titans have to be able to throw on early downs so that a team like the Redskins can't always load the box. If not, audibles must be made to get a running play to go away from the blitz. Veteran QBs should be able to make these calls at the line. Unfortunately, Vince Young doesn't appear to fit that mold just yet.
