NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Jan. 2, 2007) -- Vince Young has lofty expectations for the Tennessee Titans. Nothing short of the playoffs will do next season.
And that's exactly what his coach wants to hear.
"That's Vince. He's got the same expectation level that I do and all of the rest of his teammates," coach Jeff Fisher said.
A franchise that won a combined nine games in 2004 and 2005 accelerated its rebuilding phase dramatically in 2006 with an improbable six-game winning streak that ended Dec. 31 with a 40-23 loss to New England.
The Titans fell short of becoming the first NFL team to start 0-5 and reach the playoffs, but they learned to win again and secured Fisher's job by finishing 8-8. Owner Bud Adams picked up Fisher's option for 2007, and talks on an extension will start soon.
Linebacker Keith Bulluck said the Titans, with 37 players in their third season or less, took a big step and now want much more.
"Everyone on this team is hungry," Bulluck said as the Titans packed up their lockers. "It's been a while since we've been in a situation where we could actually go into the postseason. Next year, we want to go sprinting in."
