Young To Return As #3 QB

[.GR]

The Titans hope quarterback Vince Young will return to practice this week, nearly a month after spraining the medial collateral ligament in his left knee during the season opener against Jacksonville. Since the injury, events in Young's life have been documented nationally, from his apparent refusal to re-enter the opener to concerns about his emotional state and his mother telling The Tennessean that her son considered retiring. "I'm happy with where he is," Coach Jeff Fisher said. "I'm pleased with where he is mentally, emotionally and physically, because he's making strides." Young watched the Sept. 21 game against Houston from the coaches' box. He moved to the sideline for Sunday's win over Minnesota. Fisher said Young would return as the No. 3 quarterback behind current starter Kerry Collins and recently acquired Chris Simms. Young's progression this week will determine whether he's designated the No. 2 or No. 3 quarterback for Sunday's game at Baltimore, Fisher said.

Spurrier: Why Doesn't Tennessee Run The Spread With Vince Young?


Spurrier says it all!

 

[Yankees2772]

Because the spread doesn't work in the NFL... And Vince Young can't throw... And his running abilities are overrated... And he has a bum knee... And nobody on their team has experience running the spread... And their coaches haven't coached a spread offense...

The reasons against it are endless.

If you want to joke around, it's a funny idea to run a spread in the NFL. It won't happen.
