Titans quarterback Kerry Collins is looking for the team's passing attack to improve this coming season. "I thought we made good strides this off-season. Offensively, we built on things that we did well last year. We implemented some things that are going to help us and from a personnel standpoint we've gotten better. I'm excited about it," Collins told the Nashville City Paper. "I just think overall as far as the passing game, I'd like to be more productive, score more, and I'd like to throw more than 12 touchdowns. If we can just step it up a little bit and be more prolific from a passing standpoint. I think that should be a goal of ours." Tennessee ranked 26th in passing offense last season and leaned heavily on their rushing attack, which ranked 7th in the NFL.

Titans running back Chris Johnson has declared that he and LenDale White will no longer be known as "Smash and Dash." Johnson has declared himself "Every Coach's Dream," and that he and White are will no longer go by their former nickname. "If there's no Smash, there's no Dash," White said with a smile. "If he's the coach's dream, I'm the opposing coach's nightmare." Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher has an idea for a new tandem nickname. "Dumb and dumber," Fisher suggested.

Tennessee running back Chris Johnson is looking for advice on how to celebrate in the end zone. Johnson is looking to top the celebrations of wide receivers Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco. "I'm trying," Johnson said Tuesday. "I need help. I'm pretty sure they have somebody to help them, so I'm thinking hard now." He used his Twitter account to solicit suggestions. He drew a $10,000 fine from the NFL last October for celebrating a 66-yard touchdown run in Kansas City by banging on drums in the end zone.

Titans tight end Alge Crumpler has taken rookie Jared Cook under his wing in Tennessee. "Crump is like a coach," said Cook, a third-round draft pick out of South Carolina. "Crump has been around the league a long time and he just knows ? he has a lot of wisdom to share. Every time I come off the field he'll tell me little things, tell me things I need to correct, which is very helpful, especially in the meeting rooms and when we're watching film. "It's just great to have someone like that around, a big savvy guy who knows a lot and can teach you a lot. I learn something from him every day." Crumpler, 32, has been very willing to help someone that could take snaps any from him. "I let him know he can count on me ... I gave him my number and told him to call me any time if he had any questions. I won't steer you wrong," Crumpler said. "I got thrown in the fire pretty early. It was fun for me. I wanted to be in those situations and that's what I tell Jared ? you have to want to be in those situations and you have to want it bad. "They're not holding anything back for Jared here. They're throwing him in there."

Patrick Ramsey signed on with the Titans to be their third quarterback, but he is looking to move up on the depth chart. "That's the situation I'm faced with," Ramsey said. "Honestly, what I intend to do is come in here and play as well as I can and let that take care of itself. "They just said come in and the best players are going to be moved up. Obviously, Kerry [Collins] is the starter, and I'm going to be competing for the second job." Of course, Ramsey will be competing with Vince Young for the backup role.

Titans defensive end Jevon Kearse, in his second go-around with the team, is playing for pride. "I hear a lot of people in the streets say, 'Ah man, you used to be my favorite player back when you were with the Titans,' " Kearse said. He laughs because they seem to forget that he played with club last season. "I guess I got to go out there and earn that name back and get that reputation back," said Kearse, who earned Pro Bowl honors three times in his first stay with the Titans.

Titans running back LenDale White announced proudly this week that he is down to 234 pounds. "I'm 234 pounds, and I feel great," White said.

White said that he hasn't been under 235 since his rookie season.

The Steelers sent Titans defender Keith Bulluck a Terrible Towel following their Super Bowl victory. Bulluck was one of three Tennessee players seen defacing a Terrible Towel after the Titans' 31-14 win over the Steelers at LP Field last season.

Sincerely, the Black and Gold P.S.: I hope you enjoyed the Super Bowl." Tennessee will open up the 2009 season against Pittsburgh.

Titans quarterback Vince Young has done lots of talking this offseason, and says that he'll deal with the consequences. "Every time I say something it is always going to get blown out of proportion, so I just have to live with it. That is the life of Vince, and I just got to live with it," Young told the Associated Press. Young has discussed a trade, assuming he can't surpass Kerry Collins for the team's starting job, and an incident last fall where police were dispatched to search for him.
