NFL: Report: Adams wants Young starting against Jaguars


Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Jeff Fisher has stayed away from a quarterback controversy all through the Tennessee Titans’ dreadful start.

Now, team owner Bud Adams reportedly wants a change.
Adams informed Fisher he wants Vince Young to start over Kerry Collins this weekend against Jacksonville, according to the Tennessean. The Nashville newspaper cited sources Tuesday that Adams apparently told Fisher his preference after the Titans lost to New England 59-0 on Oct. 18 and became more insistent during the bye week.
A call to Adams’ Houston office was referred to the team’s media relations department in Nashville. A message was not immediately returned Tuesday.
Fisher declined Monday to say who his starter will be Sunday for “competitive reasons.” He had stuck with Collins throughout the 0-6 start as the best chance to win.
The Titans practiced Tuesday and had their first team meetings since returning from their bye.
