Rookies impress in Titans win

I am willing to bet that Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher woke up this morning with a twinkle in his eye and some pep in his step. He returns 20 of 22 starters from a team that had the best record in the league a year ago. Some would even argue that free agent wide receiver Nate Washington is an upgrade over last year's starter Justin McCareins. Add that to a rookie class who showed to be very impressive in their preseason home debut, and you have the makings of one optimistic head coach.

First round pick Kenny Britt showed his toughness and big play ability last night, hauling in 5 catches for 89 yards and a touchdown. The Titans desperately needed that element on offense last year. Rookie tight end Jared Cook continues to impress, catching a game high 6 catches for 56 yards. In the third quarter, 5th round draft pick Javon Wringer broke loose for a 36 yard touchdown run and rookie corner back Ryan Mouton added to the scoring with his own pick six. It's still early in the preseason, but game changing role players can put an already good team over the top. Jeff Fisher has got to be feeling good about what he sees so far.
