QB Matt Hasselback didn’t do much against his former team, going 5 of 9 for 45 yards with two picks. Jake Locker was better in a relief role, but not spectacular. He has been named the starter against the Bucs on Friday after going 7-13 for 80 yards versus the Seahawks.
Defensively, the Titans got a pair of interceptions by their linebackers and two sacks by defensive ends. Receiver Kenny Britt remains out of this one and is in jeopardy of missing the regular season opener. Tennessee first round selection, Kendall Wright had a nice pro debut with 3 catches for 47 yards. With the exception of Britt, there are no other significant injuries to report for the Titans.
Tampa bay started 2012 on a good note, defeating intrastate rival Miami 20-7 last week in South Beach. RB’s Doug Martin and LeGarrette Blount each had a touchdown and kicker Kai Forbath booted two through the uprights to round out the scoring.
