Vince Young, Titans Receivers Ready to Take Next Steps

Filed under: Titans, NFL Training Camp, NFL QuarterbacksNASHVILLE, Tenn. -- His quarterback is completing more tasks in practices, commanding more in preseason games and is looking fit and aware. But Jeff Fisher, the Tennessee Titans coach, always keeps this in mind.

"He's young," Fisher said.

Excuse him, he asks, for the unintended play on words.

Fisher's message is honest and resolute about Vince Young.

"He's young in this league," said Fisher of Vince Young, who is 27 and enters his fifth NFL season. It seems, though, like he has been around longer. Big plays mixed with big troubles and a spotlight that has caught him in charitable ways but also in unsuitable incidents have made Young more familiar, more public, more prone to be kicked around.

But Young looks ready now. He looks primed for something big, something distinguishing this season. You could see it here on Monday night in his preseason game work against the Arizona Cardinals. It was evident here on Wednesday as the Cardinals stuck around for a joint practice.

Fisher says: "We have the best group around him we have ever had. And they're all coming on, just like he is."
