Tennessee Titans

2007 Recap

The Tennessee Titans ended the season with a 17-6 loss to the San Diego Chargers I the wild card game in the playoffs. The season proved to QB Vince Young’s first trip to the playoffs after a season of mixed success. Young led his team to a 10-6 record, but threw 17 interceptions while passing for only 9 touchdowns.

The Titans season was marked by an offense that relied on the defense to hold opponents to 18.6 points a game despite while it struggled to score points. The offense has tried to address it needs by signing TE Alge Crumpler and WR Justin Gage, while the defense kept its anchor by applying the franchise tag to DT Albert Haynesworth and signing Jevon Kearse to help with the pass rush. Titans need help on both sides of the ball and will try to upgrade the offensive line, defensive line, linebacker core, and wide receiving core with the 2008 draft, in which they have the 24th pick.

Team History

The Tennessee Titans were originally the known as the Houston Oliers, but moved to Nashville in 1997 after a dispute with the city for a new stadium. The team found a new stadium in Nashville and made a run to Super Bowl in 1999, falling to the St. Louis Rams with one yard between the outstretched arm of WR Kevin Dyson and the end zone on the last play of the game.

Before the 1999 season the Titans, known as the Oilers, had limited success in the NFL. Originally an AFL franchise, the Oilers were perennial contenders before the NFL-AFL merger in 1970. The years after found the team out of contention until Warren Moon and the run and gun offense in the late 80s and early 90s, but the playoff campaigns never amounted to Super Bowl appearances.
