Posted by EyesOfTX on December 27th, 2009 under Football

We'll keep updating this as we become aware of additional ex-Longhorn performances... Jamaal Charles and Cedric Benson had a nice duel in the Chiefs/Bengals contest today.  Jamaal got himself to within striking distance of a 1,000 yard season with 102 yards on 24 carries, while Benson ran up 133 yards on 29 attempts.  Cedric is now up to 1,251 yards on the season - Jamaal can join him in the 1,000 club with 139 next week.

A Quick Look At Vince’s Progress

Posted by TaylorTRoom on December 21st, 2009 under Football

Remember the 2006 NFL Draft of QBs? Tennessee took Young with the 3rd pick, Arizona took Leinart around 10th, and Denver took Cutler 11th. After the first year, the general consensus was that Tennessee, gambling on an unpolished passer like Young might have caught lightning in a bottle, Leinart just needed time, and that canny old sage, Mike Shanahan, found the real jewel in the

Overheard on the Longhorn internets

Posted by HenryJames on December 21st, 2009 under Football

Typically this column (?) is reserved for stupid shit Texas fans say about Texas football. But sometimes I make exceptions. Sometimes a post will come along that will make me want to seek out the original poster, cradle him in my arms like a newborn baby and then protect from the evil in the world. For example. People that are talking about VY are being sarcastic, right? Matt Schaub is 5th in the NFL in passing. He

Open thread: Vince vs Ricky

Posted by HenryJames on December 20th, 2009 under Football

The cool kids in the Austin area get to see this game instead of, oh I don't know, the Texans vs Rams. But don't fear. Our Texans correspondent CloseToJumping will be providing us with live updates. In the meantime you can enjoy watching the two best players to come out of Texas since Earl Campbell.

Holy sh*t!!! Vince is still the man.

Ninety-nine yard drive to win the game as time expires. Converts three fourth downs along the way. Career passing day. How can you not believe in this guy?!

In case you missed it from being completely dialed in for the Texas vs. Iowa basketball game, the next stop in the Vince Young comeback tour is the fair city of Houston, Texas.

As the Titans Turn- VY at Houston on MNF

Posted by TaylorTRoom on November 19th, 2009 under Football

Hard to believe that this will be Vince's first game back in Houston since his rookie year.  He was hurt in 2007, and benched in 2008.  He left as a conqueror in 2006, and returns as a guy trying to save his career in 2009. Has there ever been a player who has been as misunderstood?  There is so much contradictory info out there.  He has a career passer rating of 70.1, which is below average.

Good afternoon. We’re obviously pleased with the win. We have a lot of work to do but we felt like we had a good game plan this week, good scheme, we had a good week of practice.

Bud Adams to Jeff Fisher: Start Vince Young Now.

Posted by srr50 on October 27th, 2009 under Football

The 86-year old owner of the Tennessee Titans says he has seen enough, and it's time to see if Vince Young is the Titan QB of the future. Tennessee is 0-6 coming off a bye week and plays Jacksonville this weekend. The Titans signed Kerry Collins to a two-year, $14 million contract in the offseason, while Young is due to count $14.2 million against the salary cap next season.
