2006 Tennessee Titans and football betting

2006 football betting review:  Vince Young was the story of the 2006 football betting season for the Tennessee Titans leading them to a surprising 8-8 finish.  He struggled at the beginning of the NFL betting season but was scintillating late in the football betting year.  Young was the offensive rookie of the football betting year and in many games was the best player on the field.

The defense was a definite problem for Tennessee as they gave up points in bunches.  The 2006 football betting season was a great one for football betting players that followed Tennessee.  The Titans went a superb 11-5 against the NFL betting spread for football betting players and they were a football betting bonanza for totals players betting the over as they went 12-3-1 to the over in the 2006 NFL betting season.

TENESSE TITANS 2006 REVIEW

At the beginning of the 2006 football betting season, the land of Titans’ fans was not filled with optimism.  In fact, pessimism and anger seemed to rule the day.  In the off-season, management had traded away the face of the franchise, former league co-MVP and the man that had run the team on the field since its move to Tennessee.  Steve McNair the wildly popular franchise QB had been cast away like a piece of refuse and NFL betting fans were angry.  The way the team handled the parting was awful, even locking the former employee out of the gym like some kind of common criminal.  The only thing worse for the lack of respect and disloyalty shown to the team’s only decent player was the fact that they had no one to replace him at QB.  NFL betting fans were resigned to the fact that it would be yet another rebuilding football betting year for the constantly rebuilding team and that ownership had once again thrown in the towel before the football betting season even began just to save a buck.

But the 2006 NFL betting campaign turned out to be a very pleasant surprise and one that left reason to be filled with hope in 2007 football betting season.  McNair was gone to start the football betting season and so that left aging veteran Kerry Collins to take over the reigns.  Collins had kicked around several teams during his career and had retired from the Raiders after an awful football betting season.  However, he was talked out of retirement by the Titans who had no one else to throw the ball on opening day.  Backup Billy Volek had gone to chase bigger money elsewhere, and MacNair had been unceremoniously booted out of the franchise.  Football betting time period was in a crucial point.

There was of course the young stallion and their number one pick in the draft Vince Young, but he was considered a project and could have even panned out at a receiver spot not QB.  So Collins came in and promptly stunk up the joint.  The team has a terrible start in the football betting season.  Through the first six games this team had the worst record in football betting history, thanks mostly to all-around bad play, of which Collins had a huge part in.  His 42 QB rating and is 1 touchdown versus six picks finally prompted Jeff Fischer and staff to pull the plug.

Now, whether or not Young was ready, he was getting the bull by the horns and was thrown into fire.  He struggled at first, as was expected, but the wins some how coming started.  In fact, the team rebounded from its wretched start and actually finished at 8-8 and nearly made the playoffs in what would have been a miraculous football betting in-season turnaround.  Young would win the Offensive Rookie of the Year award, even though his numbers weren’t quite as good as another rookie QB, Matt Lienart.  But Young got something more important than individual stats and that was wins; in some cases almost single-handedly.

The defense was abominable.  It was the worst in the league and teams seemed to score at will.  Against the pass it was only the fifth worst team and against the run it only the second worst, but when you add those ugly NFL betting stats together it made for the worst defense on the planet.  New acquisition Chris Hope had a big football betting year at the safety position racking up 121 tackles and five INTs, but he was wildly inconsistent at times, and it is never a good sign if your secondary players are getting over 100 tackles.  Pac-Man Jones had another solid football betting year with a few picks here and there and retuning punts for scores.  But it was all too little as the Titans fell just short of reaching their post football betting season goals.

But it was a valiant effort and the Titans finished the football betting season as one of the real pleasant surprises in the league.  This was a team that nobody expected anything out of and yet thy some how finished at the .500 mark and were only one game away from the post season, something the team hadn’t been able to do with McNair for quite a few football betting years.  All and all there should be also of excitement in the Tennessee camp heading into the 2007 football betting season.
