2005 Tennessee Titans Season Review

NASHVILLE, TENN. - The Titans concluded a trying season with a renewed focus and ahope that the NFL’s youngest roster in 2005 will forge a successful campaign in 2006 andthe years ahead.

Although a 4-12 record was lacking in bottom-line results, stories emerged duringthe season that provided a glimpse of the potential within the organization. Head Coach JeffFisher and quarterback Steve McNair reached career milestones, while a young group oftight ends and rookie wide receivers put up historic numbers. Defensively, the Titans uncov-ered one of the league’s best pass rushers in Kyle Vanden Bosch, while linebacker KeithBulluck remained at the top of his game.

As the Titans enter the 2006 offseason, another reason for optimism exists. Dueto their 4-12 finish, the Titans hold the third overall selection in the 2006 NFL Draft, which willbe held April 29-30 in New York. The last time the team drafted that high was 1995, whenGeneral Manager Floyd Reese and the then-Houston Oilers selected McNair with the thirdpick.

Among the Titans’ 2005 season highlights:

l Jeff Fisher won his 100th game as a head coach. With a 102-89 career mark (.537),Fisher is the winningest head coach in the franchise’s 46-year history.

l Floyd Reese won his 100th game as general manager in Week 2 against Baltimore.His 103 wins are the most by a general manager in franchise history.

l Quarterback Steve McNair became the 49th player in NFL history and second playerin team history to reach 25,000 passing yards in his career. With 3,161 passing yards, thefifth-best total of his career, he surpassed the 3,000-yard mark for the fifth time. His 16touchdown passes gave him 156 for his career, making him the third player in team history(Warren Moon, George Blanda) to reach 150 career touchdown passes.

l McNair also rushed for 139 yards, which put him ahead of John Elway for fourth-placein NFL history among quarterbacks with 3,439 career rushing yards.

l The Titans tight ends -- Erron Kinney, Ben Troupe, Bo Scaife and Gregg Guenther-- collectively recorded 149 receptions, the second-best total by a group of tight ends in NFLhistory. They trailed only the tight ends from the 1984 San Diego Chargers, who posted 163receptions as a unit.

l Brad Hopkins became the third player in franchise history to play 13 seasons in anOilers/Titans uniform, joining Elvin Bethea and Bruce Matthews. Hopkins started 15games at left tackle in 2005.

l In his first year with the Titans, defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch finished fourth inthe league with 12.5 sacks, a career high for the fifth-year player who spent the first fourseasons of his career with the Arizona Cardinals. He also finished the season with 100tackles, which is the highest total by a member of the team’s defensive line since 1986,when Ray Childress and Richard Byrd were credited with 172 and 124 tackles, respec-tively.

2006 DRAFT ORDER

The Titans possess the third overall selection in the 2006 NFL Draft, which will beheld April 29-30 in New York. Additionally, they currently have picks in the second, fourth,fifth, sixth and seventh rounds. Compensatory selections may be awarded later in the off-season based on last year’s net free agent losses.

Barring any trades, Tennessee’s pick will follow those of the Houston Texans andNew Orleans Saints, who hold the top two spots in the draft.

The Titans do not have a third-round pick in the draft due to a trade in 2005 withthe Buffalo Bills. The Titans acquired running back Travis Henry in exchange for their third-round selection this year.

The Titans, who last year selected cornerback Pacman Jones with the sixthoverall draft selection, have not picked as high as third in the draft since 1995, when theychose quarterback Steve McNair with the third pick.

Since 1967, when the American Football League and National Football Leaguebegan having one common draft, the Oilers/Titans have selected third in the draft five timesand have taken a quarterback with three of those picks. They selected quarterback DanPastorini in 1971 with the third pick, defensive end Ray Childress in 1985, quarterbackJim Everett in 1986, running back Alonzo Highsmith in 1987 and McNair in 1995.

The team has had the first overall selection twice -- 1973, when they chosedefensive end John Matuszak, and 1978, when they picked Hall of Fame running backEarl Campbell. They have selected second in the draft just once, in 1984, when they tooktackle Dean Steinkuhler.

Under Floyd Reese, who has served as general manager since 1994, the Titanshave used their 10 first-round draft picks on defensive end Henry Ford (1994), McNair(1995), running back Eddie George (1996), defensive end Kenny Holmes (1997), widereceiver Kevin Dyson (1998), defensive end Jevon Kearse (1999), linebacker KeithBulluck (2000), defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth (2002), cornerback AndreWoolfolk (2003) and Jones (2005). Twice under Reese, as a result of trades, the Titanshave not had a first-round selection.
