Titans Offseason Status Report #3


The offense is looking better and better everyday as training camp draws closer.

The biggest bright spot might be rookie tight end Jared Cook, who was the third pick for the Titans in the draft.

Cook has been making some great plays during mini camp drills and with an offense that relies heavily on the tight ends, that's good news for Jeff Fisher and company.

It will be somewhat difficult for Cook to find playing time since there are three other tight ends on the roster. The two main guys will be Alge Crumpler and Bo Scaife.

There has been some suggestions that Cook could be moved over to wide receiver on some plays since he is so athletic and quick.

Jeff Fisher has already stated that he plans on having a lighter camp than normal to make sure his team is ready to hit the ground running when the season opens up in Pittsburgh.

Except for the rookies, obviously, a solid portion of the team is back from last year so it hopefully won't be as challenging to get things going in the right direction when camp opens up on July 30.

Another good omen for the Titans heading into training camp is that there shouldn't be too much of a quarterback controversy going on. Kerry Collins will most likely be the starter with Vince Young taking more time to learn the game as a backup.

Anytime a group of guys know exactly which quarterback will be leading their team once the season starts usually end up doing great things. Just ask the Patriots or the Steelers.
