09:18 AM ET�05.29 | One number stands out about Jake Locker. It's 53.9, the percentage of passes he completed at Washington. Or, if you prefer, 55.4, the percentage of passes he completed as a senior. If Locker is going to make it as an NFL quarterback, that number has to improve. The man charged with improving it, Titans offensive coordinator Chris Palmer, explained to me how he hopes to make Locker a more accurate passer. "Right now, he is a 55 percent passer," Palmer said. "If he throws 20 passes, that's 11 of 20. Our job is to get him to complete 13 out of 20. In the California game he was (17of-27 for 63 percent). So you know he has it within him. We want him to complete two more balls out of 20. How hard is it going to be to complete two more of those balls? That's the goal. When we get to 13, now can we get to 14."
