FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AUGUST 25, 2008
TITANS CONCLUDE PRESEASON
THURSDAY IN GREEN BAY
THIS WEEK’S GAME
NASHVILLE, TENN. — The Tennessee Titans (2-1) play their final preseason game this week,
traveling to Green Bay to meet the Packers (1-2). Kickoff at Lambeau Field (capacity 72,928)
is scheduled for 6 p.m. CDT. This is the seventh consecutive year the Titans and Packers
are meeting to close out the preseason.
TIME CHANGE
This week’s kickoff time was moved up one hour from its originally scheduled time to 6
p.m. CDT. The change, first announced July 9, occurred after both teams' television partners
expressed an interest in joining network coverage of the Democratic National Convention by
approximately 9 p.m.
THE BROADCAST
The game will be televised regionally on the Titans Preseason TV Network, including flag-
ship WKRN-Channel 2 in Nashville. Cory Curtis will handle play-by-play duties, while former
Titans running back Eddie George will provide color commentary. Joe Dubin will report from
the sidelines. Viewers outside of Nashville can check their local listings for additional Titans
preseason affiliates. A full listing of preseason affiliates is available on page 2 of this release.
Additionally, every Titans game is available on the Titans Radio Network, including flag-
ship 103.3-WKDF and more than 70 Titans Radio affiliates across the Mid-South. The Titans
Radio broadcast team includes the “Voice of the Titans” Mike Keith, color commentator
Frank Wycheck, sideline reporter Cody Allison and gameday host Larry Stone.
LAST WEEK
After jumping out to a 2-0 record in the first two weeks of the preseason, the Titans vis-
ited Atlanta in Week 3. Despite the Titans taking an early 3-0 lead, the Falcons scored the
remainder of the game’s points to win 17-3. Most of the Titans and Falcons starters played
the entire first half, which ended tied at 3-3.
The Packers picked up their first preseason win in Denver last week. Starting quarter-
back Aaron Rodgers played into the third quarter and completed 18 of 22 passes for 193
yards and one touchdown in a 27-24 victory.
REGULAR SEASON PREVIEW
This week’s preseason game previews what promises to be a highly-anticipated regular
season bout between the Titans and Packers. In just over two months (Nov. 2), the Packers visit
Tennessee in their second regular season appearance at LP Field. The Titans, who hold a 5-4
all-time advantage in the regular season series, won the previous meeting at LP Field in 2001.
The Packers, winners of the NFC North in 2007 under head coach Mike McCarthy, go
into this season for the first time with Rodgers, the 24th overall draft pick in 2005, as their
starting quarterback. He replaces Brett Favre, the team’s starter since the 1992 season
who recently came out of a brief retirement and was traded to the New York Jets.
FINAL ROSTER CUTDOWN FOLLOWS GAME
On Aug. 30, two days after their game in Green Bay, the Titans will be mandated by NFL
rules to reduce their roster from 75 players to the regular season limit of 53 players.
The first roster reduction from 80 to 75 players must take place no later than Tuesday,
Aug. 26.

Titans vs. Packers
For the seventh consecutive year the Titans and Packers are meeting to close out their
preseason schedules. Prior to 2002, the two teams played in the preseason only two times
-- 1972 and 1973 -- and split those games. Since 2002, the Titans have played the Packers
every year in the final weekend of the preseason. The Titans took a 5-3 all-time lead in the
preseason series with last year’s win at LP Field. The Titans have won five of the six pre-
season games since 2002, including wins in the last two meetings.
In last year’s preseason finale, Titans quarterback Vince Young completed one touch-
down pass and ran for another score in helping the Titans defeat the Packers by a final score
of 30-14. Chris Davis added a 70-yard punt return for a touchdown, and the Titans defense
limited the Packers to 196 total yards. For the Packers, eventual NFC North Champions, it
was their final game with a loss until Week 5 of the regular season.
These same two teams will meet this year in Week 9 of the regular season (Nov. 2) at LP
Field. It will be Green Bay’s second regular season visit to LP Field. The Titans, who hold a 5-
4 all-time advantage in the regular season series, won the previous meeting at LP Field in 2001.
In overall regular season play, the Titans have a 5-4 series advantage. In an unusual
trend, each team has fared better on the road than at home, with the Titans owning a 4-1
record at Lambeau Field and the Packers building a 3-1 record at Houston/Tennessee.
The Titans and Packers last met in the regular season in 2004. A Titans win gave them
a 5-4 lead in the series, and the 2004 Monday Night Football meeting at Lambeau Field was
the second consecutive game the Titans have won against the Packers. Favre threw for
338 yards and tight end Bubba Franks had two touchdown receptions, but the Titans got the
48-27 win. Running back Chris Brown rushed for 148 yards, with touchdown runs of 37 and
29 yards, while Steve McNair passed for 206 yards and two touchdowns. Three Favre in-
terceptions, two of which were picked off by safety Lamont Thompson, and three fumble re-
coveries ensured victory for the Titans.

Tennessee Titans 17 10 7 14 48

In Week 5 of the 2004 regular season, the Tennessee Titans used a
Monday night stage to snap a three-game losing streak and defeat the
Green Bay Packers 48-27.
The Titans took control early and never looked back, scoring on their
first three possessions and five of their seven possessions in the first half.
Running back Chris Brown did most of the damage early and had already
run for over 100 yards by halftime.
Brown’s first score occurred on the game’s fifth play from scrimmage. He
took a handoff from quarterback Steve McNair and rushed 37 yards into the
end zone. After a Packers three-and-out, Brown struck again from long dis-
tance, recording a 29-yard touchdown run to help the Titans build a 14-0 lead.
On the ensuing Green Bay possession, the Titans forced the first of six
Packers turnovers when Brad Kassell knocked the ball loose from running
back Ahman Green. Kevin Carter recovered it to set up a 36-yard field
goal from Gary Anderson.
In the second quarter, McNair found fullback Troy Fleming for a 14-
yard touchdown pass to complete a 10-play, 80-yard drive. The Packers re-
sponded with a touchdown pass from quarterback Brett Favre to tight end
Bubba Franks. After an exchange of field goals, the Titans entered halftime
with a 27-13 lead.
In the third quarter, the Titans intercepted Favre on consecutive series.
The latter interception by safety Lamont Thompson -- his second of the
game in addition to a forced fumble -- set up an 11-yard touchdown pass
from McNair to wide receiver Eddie Berlin.
Ahead 34-13 early in the fourth quarter, Titans wide receiver Drew
Bennett received a lateral from McNair and then completed a 26-yard touch-
down pass to Derrick Mason.
Running back Antowain Smith tacked on a 15-yard touchdown run to
provide a record-setting score for Tennessee. The Titans’ total of 48 points
was the most ever scored by an opponent at Lambeau Field.
Brown finished the night with 148 yards on 27 carries and two touch-
downs and became the third running back in NFL history to have four 100-
yard rushing games in his first five career starts. Meanwhile, Green Bay’s
rushing attack was limited to 35 yards.
Titans quarterback Steve McNair completed two touchdown passes in Monday nightgame against the Packers in 2004.

cons. Included in those games were a 2002 performance (9/8) in which he recorded two
receptions for 12 yards and a touchdown and a 2002 Wild Card victory at Lambeau Field
(1/4/03) in which he recorded one reception for nine yards.
� Cornerback Nick Harper recorded five tackles and one fumble recovery against the Pack-
ers on Sept. 26, 2004 as a member of the Indianapolis Colts.

BIG DAYS vs. PACKERS
For the second consecutive year, the Ti-
tans will open the regular season with a
game against the divisional rival Jacksonville
Jaguars. This year, the Titans host the Kick-
off Weekend tilt, scheduled for a noon start
on Sunday, Sept. 7 at LP Field.
The Titans and Jaguars were the AFC Wild Card representatives in the playoffs last sea-
son, giving the AFC South three total playoff teams including the division-winning Indianapolis
Colts. The Jaguars earned an 11-5 regular season record and the fifth seed in the playoffs,
followed by the sixth-seeded Titans at 10-6. Both teams are vying to unseat the Colts, who
have won the division in each season since 2003. The Titans have fared well in games within
the division the last two seasons, tying the Colts for a division-best mark of 8-4.
In last year’s opener, the Titans held on to a 13-10 victory at Jacksonville Municipal Sta-
dium. The Titans gained 282 rushing yards in the game, recording the second-highest total
in franchise history.
However, in the November rematch in Tennessee, the Jaguars exacted revenge with a
28-13 victory in which they forced three turnovers and out-rushed the Titans by more than 100
yards (166 to 62).
The Titans lead the all-time series with the Jaguars 15-12, including a 1-0 lead in post-
season play.

LAST WEEK vs. ATLANTA FALCONS
Tennessee Titans 3 at Atlanta Falcons 17
Friday, Aug. 22, 2008
Georgia Dome, Atlanta, Ga.
1 2 3 4 Final
Tennessee Titans 3 0 0 0 3
Atlanta Falcons 0 3 7 7 17
In Week 3 of the preseason, The Titans went on the road and lost to the
Atlanta Falcons by a final score of 17-3.
Tennessee’s starters played through the second quarter and had the
score tied at 3-3 at halftime. The Falcons took advantage of Tennessee’s
substitutions at the start of the third quarter and began to take control of the
contest statistically. The Falcons held the ball for more than 36 minutes in
the game and out-gained the Titans 320 yards to 215 yards.
In the first quarter, the Titans received the opening kickoff and quickly
mounted their lone scoring drive of the game. On a third-and-nine from the
Tennessee 18-yard line, quarterback Vince Young found running back
Chris Johnson for a 13-yard pass to extend the drive. Young then com-
pleted consecutive passes of 21 yards to tight end Bo Scaife and 16 yards
to wide receiver Justin Gage. That set up a 50-yard field goal by John
Vaughn to give the Titans an early lead.
The Titans committed their first turnover of the preseason on the final
play of the first quarter. After driving the ball from the Tennessee eight-yard
line to the Atlanta 34 on 10 plays, Vince Young was intercepted on a pass
intended for Brandon Jones by Falcons cornerback Chevis Jackson.
Jackson’s interception set up the game-tying field goal from 49 yards by
Jason Elam.
The remainder of the second quarter featured an exchange of punts by
Tennessee’s Craig Hentrich and Atlanta’s Michael Koenen. When the
quarter was over, the Titans had won the statistical battle in the first half,
gaining 144 yards to the Falcons’ 94 yards, and tallying four more first downs
than the Falcons (10 to six). However, the Titans were unable to capitalize
on the scoreboard despite their relative success.
To begin the third quarter, Atlanta’s starting offense, including rookie
signal caller Matt Ryan, moved the ball 71 yards on nine plays. They scored
on a one-yard touchdown pass from Ryan to wide receiver Harry Douglas.
Ryan then exited the game with the Falcons content with his 15-of-21, 102-
yard performance.
The Falcons extended their lead in the fourth quarter. They took pos-
session of the ball with 11:37 on the clock and used more than eight minutes
to drive 90 yards. Thomas Brown, who carried the ball on the final five
plays of the drive, scored the game’s final touchdown on a nine-yard run.
Defensive back Vincent Fuller breaks up a pass to Falcons running backJerious Norwood.
NOTES FROM LAST WEEK’S GAME
JOHNSON’S FIRST START: Titans rookie running back Chris Johnson
recorded his first start of the preseason. The 24th overall draft choice led the
team with 11 rushing attempts for 35 yards and also caught two passes for
23 yards. He also returned two kickoffs for 57 yards. With one week of pre-
season games remaining (through games of Aug. 24), Johnson ranks fourth
in the NFL in rushing with 158 yards. He trails only Washington’s Marcus
Mason (253 yards), Seattle’s Justin Forsett (194) and Carolina’s DeAngelo
Williams (188).
OPENING DRIVE YIELDS RESULTS: For the first time this preseason, the
Titans opened the game with a scoring drive. They marched 51 yards on 10
plays, setting up kicker John Vaughn with a 50-yard field goal. A key play
on the drive was a 13-yard pass to Chris Johnson on third-and-nine.
FIRST-QUARTER DEFENSE: The Titans have given up a total of three first-
quarter points in their first three preseason games. Against the Falcons,
they did not allow a score until Jason Elam kicked a 49-yard field goal with
12:34 remaining in the second quarter. The only score allowed by the Titans
defense in the first quarter thus far in the preseason was a field goal by the
St. Louis Rams. In 2007, the Titans gave up an average of 4.1 points per
first quarter, which tied for 14th in the NFL.
KEARSE RECORDS SACK: For the first time since rejoining the Titans this
past offseason, defensive end Jevon Kearse recorded a sack. He took
down Matt Ryan for a 10-yard loss in the second quarter. Kearse recorded
47.5 sacks from 1999-2003, good for seventh in franchise history, before
signing with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2004.
STARTERS’ PLAYING TIME: The majority of the starting lineup for the Ti-
tans played the entire first half against the Falcons. At the beginning of the
third quarter, the starters were replaced, including quarterback Vince Young,
who gave way to Kerry Collins at the start of the second half. Ingle Martin
quarterbacked the offense for the final series in the fourth quarter.
OFFENSIVE RANKINGS: The Titans improved their league ranking to third
in total offensive output in the preseason. They are averaging 359.3 yards
per game, trailing only the Seattle Seahawks and New Orleans Saints. They
own the league’s second ranked rushing attack with 185.0 yards per game
and have the league’s best average per rushing attempt at 6.1 yards per
carry.
FIRST HALF NUMBERS: At the end of the first half, when Tennessee’s
starters were removed from the game, the Titans had out-gained the Falcons
144 yards to 94 yards. They recorded a 17:01 time of possession in the first
half and had 10 first downs to Atlanta’s six.
Defensive end Jevon Kearse records his first sack of the preseason last weekin Atlanta.

nessee Titans. A special logo (right) was commissioned to commemorate

2008 SCHEDULE NOTES
The 2008 Titans schedule features home games against Jacksonville (9/7), Houston
(9/21), Minnesota (9/28), Indianapolis (10/27), Green Bay (11/2), New York Jets (11/23),
Cleveland (12/7) and Pittsburgh (12/21). Tennessee will travel to Cincinnati (9/14), Baltimore
(10/5), Kansas City (10/19), Chicago (11/9), Jacksonville (11/16), Detroit (11/27), Houston
(12/14) and Indianapolis (12/28).
Tennessee’s 2008 opponents had a combined record of 139-117 in 2007. The .543 op-
ponent’s winning percentage gives the Titans a share (Detroit Lions) of the ninth most difficult
schedule in the NFL by that measure.
The 2008 schedule promises several other intriguing story lines for the Titans:
� The Titans will host the Jacksonville Jaguars in the season opener on Sept. 7. This is
the second consecutive season in which the Titans and Jaguars will meet on Kickoff Week-
end. The Titans won last year’s matchup in Jacksonville.
� Since 1999, when LP Field opened, the Titans have started the regular season at home
five previous times and have posted a 3-2 record in those contests.
� The Titans will host the Indianapolis Colts on Monday Night Football on Oct. 27. It will
mark Tennessee’s first home primetime game since 2004. The Titans were 2-1 in three
primetime games on the road in 2007.
� Tennessee will make its fifth appearance in a Thanksgiving game in franchise history
when they travel to Detroit to take on the Lions on Nov. 27. The Titans are 4-0 in their previous
“Turkey Day” contests with the most recent win coming at Dallas in 1997. Previous franchise
Thanksgiving games include matchups with Dallas in 1988 and 1979 and one game at Detroit
in 1992. This year’s game in Detroit will also be the franchises first appearance at Ford Field.
� The schedule features four playoff teams in six games: Indianapolis (twice), Jacksonville
(twice), Pittsburgh and Green Bay.
� The Titans will play a regular season game in Chicago for the first time since 1995 and
the first time since Soldier Field was redesigned in 2003.
� The Titans renew their rivalry with the Cincinnati Bengals on Sept. 14. The Bengals and
Titans/Oilers have faced each other 70 times during the regular season, the most of any Ti-
tans opponent.
� Minnesota will play for the first time at LP Field, where opponents are 7-22 in their initial
visit. Only one other team has yet to play at LP Field, the Arizona Cardinals.
FEWEST MILES TO TRAVEL IN 2008
While the 2008 Titans schedule ranks among the 10 most difficult in the NFL in terms
of opponents’ 2007 winning percentage, the Titans are scheduled to have the third-lightest
travel schedule in the NFL this year.
Including the preseason and regular season, the Titans will travel a total of 8,508 miles
to road games in 2008. That trails only the Cleveland Browns (6,416 miles) and Pittsburgh
Steelers (7,288) for the least amont of travel among the 32 NFL clubs. By comparison, Seat-
tle travels the most in 2008, trekking 34,766 miles.
Miles traveled by NFL teams in 2008 (air, rail and ground miles during preseason and
regular season):
Team (Top 5) Most Miles Team (Bottom 5) Most Miles
1. Seattle Seahawks 34,766 28. Chicago Bears 10,476

hope the total represents a continuation of a strong rushing performance in
2007, when they finished fifth in the league with an average of 131.8 rushing
yards per contest.
Running the football has long been a staple of Jeff Fisher clubs. Since
the start of the 1995 season, his first full season as head coach, the Titans
have ranked consistently in the NFL’s Top 10 in rushing yards per game.
They rank seventh in the league in that time period in rushing yards (120.1
per game) and are third in rushing attempts (6,256).

GENERAL MANAGER MIKE REINFELDT
Mike Reinfeldt is in his 28th season in the NFL, second as Titans
Executive Vice President/General Manager and 10th with the Oilers/Ti-
tans franchise. Reinfeldt’s first tenure with the team was from 1976-83
as an All-Pro safety. He re-joined the franchise in 2007, after spending
seven years with the Seattle Seahawks.
Reinfeldt has 22 years of experience as a front office executive and
another nine as an NFL player. In his 16 years as an NFL executive
with Tennessee, Seattle and Green Bay, his teams have won a com-
bined six division titles, made 11 playoff appearances, four NFC Cham-
pionship game appearances, three Super Bowl appearances, captured
one world title (1996) and amassed 13 winning seasons.
In Reinfeldt’s first two years of free agency with the Titans, key players added to the
roster include cornerback Nick Harper, linebacker Ryan Fowler, wide receivers Justin
Gage and Justin McCareins, guard Jake Scott and defensive end Jevon Kearse.
Reinfeldt also has led the team in selecting 17 players in the past two NFL drafts. Safety
Michael Griffin, the Titans’ 2007 first-round selection and Reinfeldt’s first-ever draft pick as
a general manager, had a solid rookie campaign. This year’s first-round pick, running back
Chris Johnson, brings high expectations to diversify the offense.
Reinfeldt also has worked to retain several key players through contract extensions.
Over the last year, Gage, fullback Ahmard Hall, defensive tackle Tony Brown, guard Eu-
gene Amano and tackle Michael Roos each signed long-term deals that add to the stability
of the roster.
Additionally, Reinfeldt helped bring aboard new members of the team’s administration, in-
cluding Senior Director of Football Administration Vincent Marino and Director of Pro Person-
nel Lake Dawson. Each has made significant contributions to the team since arriving in 2007.
In Seattle, Reinfeldt last held the title of Vice President of Football Administration and
was responsible for player contract negotiations, salary cap management, player evaluations
and numerous aspects of the day-to-day football operations. In eight seasons with the Pack-
ers, he served a number of roles, including Chief Financial Officer for three years (1991-93)
and adding the title of VP of Administration from 1994-98. Reinfeldt was instrumental in bring-
ing general manager Ron Wolf to the Packers in 1991. When Mike Holmgren left the Pack-
ers for Seattle, he handpicked Reinfeldt to join him with the Seahawks.
A former safety for the Oilers franchise from 1976-83, Reinfeldt earned Pro Bowl and All-
Pro honors in 1979. He ranks seventh on the club’s career interception list with 26 and
matched the team record for interceptions in a season with 12 in 1979. Reinfeldt started 102
consecutive games as the franchise reached the height of the “Luv Ya Blue” era and the
team advanced to two AFC Championship games. He entered the NFL as an undrafted free
agent out of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, originally signing with the Oakland
Raiders and playing in two games before being cut and signed by the Oilers.
Before joining the Packers in 1991, Reinfeldt spent three years (1988-90) at the Univer-
sity of Southern California as the associate athletic director and spent another three years
(1985-88) with the L.A. Raiders as the Chief Financial Officer. He earned an MBA in man-
agement and finance at Houston Baptist University.

Titans vs. Packers
Mike McCarthy was named the 14th Head Coach of the Green BayPackers on Jan. 12, 2006 after 13 years as an NFL assistant with the KansasCity Chiefs, Packers, New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers.
McCarthy led the Packers to a 13-3 mark in 2007. In doing so, thePackers tied the franchise record for victories in the regular season and wonthe club's first NFC North Division title since 2004. They also captured anNFC playoff bye and advanced to the conference championship game for thefirst time in a decade. McCarthy was named 2007 'NFL Coach of the Year'by Motorola and NFL Alumni. McCarthy also was runner-up in AssociatedPress coach of the year voting.
In 2006, McCarthy directed the Packers to an 8-8 record, which in-cluded a season-ending four-game winning streak, the final three of whichcame against NFC North opponents.
He previously spent six seasons as an offensive coordinator andworked with a group of quarterbacks that included Brett Favre, Joe Mon-tana, Aaron Brooks, Jake Delhomme, Matt Hasselbeck, Marc Bulger,Rich Gannon and Elvis Grbac.
After his playing career as a tight end at Baker University (Kan.) ended,his 19-year coaching career began as a linebackers coach at Fort HaysState (Kan.) in 1987. He cracked the Division I ranks two years later as a vol-unteer assistant at the University of Pittsburgh and later coached quarter-backs and wide receivers there.
McCarthy broke into the NFL as a quality control assistant with theKansas City Chiefs in 1993. It was then he worked with Montana beforemoving up to quarterbacks coach from 1995-98, working with starters Gan-
non, Grbac and Steve Bono. After serving as Green Bay's quarterbacks coach in 1999, he began a
successful five-year stint as the offensive coordinator of the New OrleansSaints. He helped engineer the most prolific offensive era in the team's fourdecades, as the Saints set 10 offensive team records and 25 individualmarks. The Saints led the NFC with 432 points and 49 touchdowns in 2002,both team records.
In 2005, McCarthy became offensive coordinator in San Francisco andworked with No. 1 overall draft pick Alex Smith.
Jeff Fisher is in his 14th full season as Head Coach of the Tennessee
Titans and his ninth as Executive Vice President. Fisher holds the franchise
record for wins by a head coach and is the NFL leader in tenure with one team
among active coaches. He was named interim head coach for the last six
games of the 1994 season and has been in his current post ever since, leading
the team through the transition from its final years in Houston to some of the
club’s greatest successes in Tennessee.
Over the previous nine seasons (1999-07), Fisher guided the franchise
to five playoff appearances (1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2007) – only five teams
(Indianapolis, New England, Philadelphia, Tampa Bay and Seatte) had more
appearances during that time. During his tenure, his accomplishments also
include two Division titles (2000 & 2002), two AFC Championship Games
(1999, 2002) and one Super Bowl berth (XXXIV). He presided over the most
victorious (56 regular season wins and five postseason wins) and successful
five-year period in the franchise’s history from 1999 to 2003.
Fisher’s clubs have found ways to win games, even in the most trying
times. In 2007, he took a team that on average had the youngest starters
in the league (25.81 years) at the beginning of the season and led the squad
to a 10-win season and a playoff berth. It was the fifth time in Fisher’s tenure
he coached the team to 10 or more wins in a playoff season. The team fol-
lowed the path of previously successful Jeff Fisher teams, ranking fifth in
the NFL in rushing offense, fifth in the NFL in yards allowed on defense and
recording a 5-3 mark on the road.
Also in 2007, Fisher became the 27th head coach in NFL history and
the sixth active coach to reach 120 career wins. He surpassed the career
win totals of John Madden (112 career wins), Don Coryell (114) and
George Allen (118) to rank 27th in league annals.
No current NFL head coach has more tenure with his team than Fisher
(14-plus seasons), and only the NBA’s Jerry Sloan (1988-89) and Major
League Baseball’s Bobby Cox (1990) have more tenure among head
coaches/managers in the four major U.S. professional team sports.
A native of Woodland Hills, Calif., the former USC and Chicago Bears
defensive back became the Titans’ 15th head coach on Jan. 5, 1995 follow-
ing his interim role to conclude the 1994 season. His previous coaching jobs
included the defensive backs coach for the Philadelphia Eagles (1986-88)
and San Francisco 49ers (1992-93) and the defensive coordinator for the
Eagles (1988-90), Los Angeles Rams (1991) and Oilers (1994).

Titans quarterback Vince Young is in his third sea-
son since being drafted by the Titans with the third over-
all selection in the 2006 NFL Draft. The former Texas
Longhorn has 30 NFL games under his belt and has a
record of 17-11 (.607) in 28 regular season contests as
a starter. His career totals include 739 pass attempts,
422 completions, 4,745 yards and 21 touchdowns. Ad-
ditionally, he has recorded 947 rushing yards and 10
touchdowns on the ground during his career.
As a team captain in 2007, he totaled 238 comple-
tions on 382 attempts, 2,546 passing yards and nine touchdown passes.
He improved his completion percentage from 51.5 as a rookie to 62.3 in
2007. Additionally, he rushed 93 times for 395 yards and three touchdowns.
His rushing yardage total ranked first in the NFL among quarterbacks.
Young’s 9-6 record as a starter in 2007 helped the team garner its first
playoff berth since 2003. In becoming a first-time playoff quarterback, he
achieved a few historic benchmarks. As the ninth different franchise quar-
terback to start a playoff game, he became the youngest of the group at 24
years and 233 days old. Of the 53 NFL quarterbacks drafted in the first
round between 1983 and 2006, Young became just the 11th from the group
to direct his team to the playoffs in his first or second season. He joined
Dan Marino, John Elway, Jim Everett, Drew Bledsoe, Peyton Manning,
Daunte Culpepper, Donovan McNabb, Michael Vick, Ben Roethlisbeger
and Eli Manning. Out of a group of eight first-round quarterbacks selected
since 2005, Young and Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell became the
first to lead their teams to the playoffs.
In 2006, the 6-foot-5, 233-pound signal caller set virtually every rookie
passing record for the franchise, including passing totals of 2,199 yards and
12 touchdowns. Additionally, he gained 552 yards on the ground, becoming
the first quarterback in the Super Bowl era (1966-present) to rush for 500
yards as a rookie. He scored seven rushing touchdowns, also a first for a
rookie quarterback in the Super Bowl era. His eight wins as a starter marked
the fifth-highest total by a rookie quarterback since 1970 NFL-AFL merger,
and he directed a six-game winning streak that was the third-longest by a
rookie quarterback since the merger. At the conclusion of the season, he was
named the Associated Press NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and became
the first rookie quarterback since Marino (1983) to make a Pro Bowl roster.
Young’s 2008 Preseason Highlights:
� At Atlanta (8/22), he completed nine of 18 passes for 102 yards and
added three rushing attempts for 16 yards.
� Against Oakland (8/15), he completed four of 13 passes for 37 yards
and added a run for four yards.
� Against St. Louis (8/9), he completed three of six passes for 17 yards
and registered a 35-yard run in two first quarter series.

Titans vs. Packers
Wide receiver Justin Gage is in his second sea-
son with the Titans and sixth season in the NFL. He
was added to the roster as an unrestricted free agent in
2007 and responded with career-best production.
Gage, who was a fifth-round draft choice in 2003
and spent the first four seasons of his career with the
Chicago Bears, led the Titans in 2007 with a career-
high 750 receiving yards. His 55 receptions also set a
career high and tied with Roydell Williams for the team
lead.
Of Gage’s 55 catches in 2007, 45 of them -- 81.8 percent -- resulted in
first downs. That gave him for the third best percentage in the NFL among
qualifying players (minimum two receptions per team game). He ranked
just behind Terrell Owens (85.2 percent) and Brandon Stokley (85.0) and
just ahead of Santonio Holmes (80.8) and Chad Johnson (79.6).
Gage’s 2008 Preseason Highlights:
� At Atlanta (8/22), recorded two receptions for a team-high 32 yards.
� Against Oakland (8/15), recorded one reception for 18 yards in first
half.
� Against St. Louis (8/9), started but did not record a reception in one
quarter of action.

son, originally was selected by the Titans in the fourth
round of the 2001 NFL Draft. In 2004, he was traded to
the New York Jets, where he spent the next four years.
In 2003, the final season of his first tour with the Ti-
tans, McCareins achieved career highs in yards (813)
and touchdowns (seven) on 47 receptions.
In 2007, McCareins totaled 19 receptions for 232 yards in his final cam-
paign with the Jets.

time leading tackler, is in his ninth NFL season. He has
started every game for six consecutive seasons and

DE JEVON KEARSE
Defensive end Jevon Kearse was re-signed by
the Titans in March, re-uniting the three-time Pro Bowler
with the club that drafted him in 1999. A veteran of nine
previous NFL seasons, the former first-round draft
choice spent the past four years in Philadelphia after
beginning his career with the Titans.
Kearse, who earned the nickname “The Freak” at
the University of Florida, led his team in sacks in six of
his first seven NFL seasons. In Kearse’s original
tenure with the Titans (1999-03), he registered a total of
47.5 sacks, a figure that ranks seventh in team history. He won the Associ-
ated Press NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award in 1999 after setting a
rookie record with 14.5 sacks.
Kearse signed in Philadelphia as an unrestricted free agent in 2004. In
45 regular season games with the Eagles, he totaled 133 tackles and 22
sacks. In his first season there, his arrival helped solidify the Eagles de-
fense, and the team advanced to Super Bowl XXXIX.
2008 Preseason Highlights:
� At Atlanta (8/22), recorded 10-yard sack against Matt Ryan.
� Against Oakland (8/15), started at left defensive end and played into
the second quarter.
� Against St. Louis (8/9), started at left defensive end and recorded one
pass defensed in the first half.

BULLUCK’S NOSE FOR THE END ZONE
Strong safety Chris Hope is in his seventh NFL
season and third season with the Titans. He returns in
2008 after finishing the 2007 season on injured reserve
with a neck injury.
A former third-round draft choice with the Pitts-
burgh Steelers, Hope has been widely considered the
leader of the Titans secondary since signing as an un-
restricted free agent in 2006.
Prior to his season-ending injury in 2007, he
recorded 60 tackles and added two quarterback pres-
sures, one tackle for loss, two interceptions, four passes defensed and one
fumble recovery.
In his first season with the Titans in 2006, he arguably had one of the
best seasons in franchise history by a strong safety and one of the best sea-
sons among all NFL strong safeties in his first season in Tennessee. His 128
tackles ranked first among the league’s starting strong safeties, and his five
interceptions tied three other players for first place among strong safeties.
His tackle total was the most by a Titans safety since Bo Eason recorded
131 stops in 1985, and Hope’s five interceptions were the most by a Titans
safety since Lance Schulters’ six in 2002.
2008 Preseason Statistics:
� At Atlanta (8/22), started at safety and recorded two tackles.
� Against Oakland (8/15), started at safety and recorded two tackles in
the first half.
� Against St. Louis (8/9), started at safety and played the first quarter.

Punter Craig Hentrich is in his 15th NFL season
and 11th with the Titans. During his career, the two-
time Pro Bowler has punted more times than any other
player in team history, and his punting average ranks
second in club history behind only Greg Montgomery.
In addition to being the franchise’s all-time punting
leader, Hentrich ranks 14th in NFL history in career
punts. With 1,054 punts, he is just 30 punts shy of
achieving a spot in the Top 10 (John James, 1,083 ca-
reer punts). Among active punters, Hentrich ranks sec-
ond in career punts. Only Jeff Feagles of the New York Giants has more.
Hentrich throughout his career has been regarded as one of the
league’s best in producing a high net punting average. In the 32 years the
statistic has been tracked (since 1976), Hentrich is currently in eighth place
Throughout his career, Hentrich has consistently placed highly in the
league in punts “Inside the 20.” Since the statistic started to be tracked in
1976, Hentrich ranks second (Mike Scifres) among all punters with 35.01
percent of his total punts placed inside the opponent’s 20-yard line.

Hope leads a talented secondary that is just entering its second season
as a foursome. The group includes Hope at strong safety, Michael Griffin
at free safety, Nick Harper at left cornerback and Cortland Finnegan at
right cornerback. Vincent Fuller is the incumbent nickel defensive back.
Griffin, the team’s 2007 first-round pick from the University of Texas,
stepped into the starting lineup midway through his rookie season. He to-
taled 49 tackles, three interceptions, eight passes defensed, one forced fum-
ble, a team-high 16 stops on special teams and 18 kickoff returns for 422
yards.
Harper, the senior-most member of the starting secondary, is entering
his eighth NFL season and second with the Titans since arriving from the In-
dianapolis Colts as an unrestricted free agent in 2007. In his first season
with the Titans, Harper recorded 80 tackles, three interceptions, 14 passes
defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
Finnegan, a former seventh-round draft choice from Samford, is in his
third year and second as a starter. In 2007, he started every game and tied
for third on the squad with 109 tackles. He added one interception, one
sack, three tackles for loss and a team-high 16 passes defensed.
Kicker Rob Bironas currently is tied with former Oilers kicker Skip But-ler for seventh place on the franchise’s all-time scoring list.

FRANCHISE CAREER LEADING SCORERS
Kicker Rob Bironas, who is in his fourth NFL sea-
son, elevated his career to new heights in 2007 and po-
sitioned his name among some of the franchise’s all-time
great kickers.
The 2007 Pro Bowl and Associated Press All-Pro
selection moved into a tie for seventh place (Skip But-
ler) on the team’s all-time scoring list. He holds fran-
chise records for most field goals in a game (eight, also
a NFL record), most consecutive games with at least
one field goal (19) and longest field goal (60 yards on
Dec. 3, 2006).
Also one of the NFL’s best kickoff specialists, he ranked sixth in the
league over his first three seasons with 37 total touchbacks.
Bironas’ 2007 campaign arguably was the second-finest season ever
by a Titans kicker, behind only Al Del Greco’s 1998 campaign. Bironas fin-
ished second in team annals behind Del Greco’s 1998 effort in scoring (133
to 136), made field goals (35 to 36) and field goal accuracy (89.7 percent to
92.3 percent). He led the NFL in field goals and was fourth in the league in
scoring, third among kickers. On Oct. 21, 2007, Bironas set a new NFL
record with eight field goals in a game at Houston.
Over his three-year career Bironas has made six game-winning field
goals, a total that ranks second in club annals behind Del Greco (10).
The former Arena Football League kicker and part-time security guard
originally signed in the NFL with the Green Bay Packers as a free agent in
2002.
