FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AUGUST 11, 2014 NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans (1-0) continue their preseason schedule this week with a trip to face the New Orleans Saints (1-0). Kickoff at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome (capacity 73,000) is scheduled for 7 p.m. CDT on Friday, Aug. 15. THE BROADCAST The game will be televised regionally on the Titans Preseason TV Network, including flagship WKRN-Channel 2 in Nashville. Cory Curtis will handle play-by-play duties while former Titans run- ning back Eddie George provides analysis. Audra Martin will report from the sidelines. The Titans Radio Network, including Nashville flagship 104.5 The Zone, will broadcast the game across the Mid-South with the “Voice of the Titans” Mike Keith, analyst Frank Wycheck, gameday host Rhett Bryan and sideline reporter Jonathan Hutton. LAST WEEK The Titans opened the preseason last week at LP Field against the Green Bay Packers. In a game played mostly under heavy rain conditions, the Titans pulled out a 20-16 victory. The rainfall amount reportedly reached three inches in the vicinity of the stadium, making ball security a problem for both squads. They combined for eight total fumbles. However, Jackie Battle’s seven-yard touchdown run with five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter gave the Titans their first lead of the evening, and the defense got a fourth-down stop in the final minute to seal the victory. Quarterback Jake Locker and most of the starting offense played through the first quarter. The former first-round pick, who is in his fourth NFL season, attempted only two passes against the Packers, completing one for five yards. After Locker came out of the game, Charlie Whitehurst worked in relief and completed 10 fo 15 passes for 94 yards and a touchdown (106.0). Zach Mettenberger, a rookie sixth-round pick from Louisiana State University, worked the fourth quarter. His completions of 26 and 38 yards on consecutive plays helped set up Battle’s game-winning score. With the Titans relying on the ground game during the downpour, Shonn Greene got their scoring started with a 13-yard touchdown in the first quarter. He totaled 20 yards on four carries. Rookie Bishop Sankey received the bulk of the rushing attempts, recording a team-high 37 yards on 13 carries. He also led the offense with 38 receiving yards on three catches, including a five-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Last week’s preseason opener was the first for Ken Whisenhunt on the Tennessee sideline. He became the 17th head coach in franchise history and the third in the “Titans era” on Jan. 13. A former Georgia Tech walk-on and an assistant at Vanderbilt University from 1995 to 1996, Whisen- hunt came to Tennessee with 17 years of NFL coaching experience and nine NFL seasons as a player. THE SAINTS The Saints began the preseason last week in St. Louis. Playing without quarterback Drew Brees, they used 83 rushing yards by Mark Ingram and 179 passing yards by third-string quar- terback Ryan Griffin to defeat the Rams 26-24. Luke McCown started at quarterback in place of Brees, who was out with an oblique injury, and McCown completed seven of 10 passes for 49 yards and an interception. The Saints have made the playoffs five times since Sean Payton was named their head coach in 2006. The stretch includes a Super Bowl XLIV Championship following the 2009 campaign and a Wild Card berth in 2013. Brees, who also arrived in the Crescent City in 2006, owns a resume that includes three Of- fensive Player of the Year awards and seven Pro Bowls. He is the second player in NFL history to pass for over 4,000 yards in eight-straight campaigns and the first to have four 5,000-yard passing seasons.

He nearly completed an improbable late comeback, driving theTitans to theNewOrleans five-yard linewith seven secondsremaining in the fourth quarter.

SAINTS HEAD COACH SEAN PAYTON Since he was hired as head coach of the New Orleans Saints in 2006, Sean Payton has established himself as one of the most successful coach-es in the NFL. Since coming to New Orleans, Payton has led the Saints to five playoff berths, three NFC South division titles and the franchise’s first World Championship with a 31-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV. Payton has a 79-43 (.648) overall record, including a 6-4 (.600) post-season mark after the franchise had won only one playoff game prior to his arrival. Throughout his tenure, Payton holds the franchise’s top winning per-centage (.648) for a head coach and ranks fourth among current NFL head coaches (min. 50 games). The 2009-11 seasons under Payton marked the most successful stretch in team history, as New Orleans posted a 41-14 mark (.759) including the postseason, the most victories in the NFL. Payton is one of just seven active coaches to lead a team to a Super Bowl victory. The others are New England’s Bill Belichick, Seattle’s Pete Carroll, the New York Giants’ Tom Coughlin, Baltimore’s John Harbaugh, Green Bay’s Mike McCarthy and Pittsburgh’s Mike Tomlin. Payton’s offenses have led the league in net yards per game in 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2011 and finished first in scoring in 2008 and 2009. Payton was hired as the 14th head coach in Saints history on Jan. 18, 2006 after serving as a member of the Dallas Cowboys coaching staff from 2003-05 under Pro Football Hall of Famer Bill Parcells. Prior to his final season with the Cowboys, Payton was promoted to assistant head coach/passing game coordinator and was responsible for the team’s play-calling after serving as assistant head coach/quarterbacks from 2003-04. In 2005, the Cowboys tied for second in the NFC with 318 first downs. When he ar-rived, Dallas had ranked 31st in passing the previous year but immediately improved to 17th. Payton went to Dallas following four years with the New York Giants (1999-2002), the last three as offensive coordinator after spending his first season as quarterbacks coach. He solidified his reputation as one of the game’s brightest offensive minds in his first season as offensive coordina-tor, when the Giants captured the NFC title and went to Super Bowl XXXV. New York scored 328 points – the club’s highest total since 1990 - and finished 13th in the NFL in total offense. Prior to joining the Giants, he spent 1997 and 1998 as Philadelphia’s quarterbacks coach. Payton wrapped two coaching stints at San Diego State University (1988-89 and 1992-93) around a stop at Indiana State (1990-91). Following the 1993 season, he moved to Miami (Ohio) (1994-95) where he was quarterbacks coach prior to being promoted to co-offensive coordinator. He spent 1996 as quarterbacks coach at Illinois before entering the NFL with Philadelphia.

Playing through heavy rains at LP Field for most of the evening, the Titans used a fourth-quarter touchdown drive to secure a 20-16 victory over the Green Bay Packers in their 2014 preseason opener. The Titans got touchdowns from three different running backs in the win. The game winner came courtesy of Jackie Battle, whose seven-yard scoringrunwithfiveminutesremaininginthefourthquartercappedafive-play, 80-yard series.

The Packers had time to reclaim the lead, but on fourth-and-one from the Tennessee 24-yard line, a pass from Chase Rettig was broken up near the goal line by Titans cornerback Ri’Shard Anderson with less than a minute on the clock. Bothteamsstruggledattimeswithawetfieldandwaterloggedfootball.Therewereatotalofeightfumbles,fivebythePackersandthreebytheTitans. Each team lost one fumble. The Titans were able to convert six of 13 third-down attempts (46 percent), and they came away with touchdowns in all three trips inside Green Bay’s 20-yard line. The Packers offense began the game with a long scoring march. With starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers getting the night off, backup Matt Flynn directed an eight-play, 64-yard series. James Starks accounted for most of the damage and capped the effort with a 20-yard touchdown run. At the end of the Titans’ second series, they were forced to punt from midfield.Attemptingtofieldthepuntatthe10-yardline,Davante Adams muffed the catch. Zaviar Gooden was there to recover for the Titans at the 13-yard line. On the next play from scrimmage, Shonn Greene rumbled into the endzonefora13-yardtouchdownwith4:22ontheclockinthefirstquarter.However, Maikon Bonani missed the extra point (ball was spotted at the 15-yard line for PAT attempts, per new NFL preseason rules).

Bishop Sankey totaled 75 yards from scrimmage in his debut.

By the beginning of the second quarter, the starters on both sides were out of the game, and the rain continued through the half. In the third quarter, the Packers took the ball 79 yards on seven plays duringtheirfirstdriveofthehalf.Scott Tolzien completed a 38-yard pass to wide receiver Chris Harper, and two plays later, Rajion Neal scored on a 12-yard run. After the play was upheld by review, the Packers failed on a two-point conversion when Tolzien’s pass to Harper fell incomplete. Trailing 13-6 midway through the third quarter, Charlie Whitehurst led the Titans on a 10-play, 80-yard scoring march. A 22-yard pass interference penalty on the Packers was followed by an 18-yard reception by tight end Taylor Thompson. Then, on third-and-goal from the five-yard line,Whitehurst found Bishop Sankey at the goal line for a touchdown. The extra point knotted the score at 13-13. The Titans had consecutive turnovers to begin the fourth quarter. A fumble by third-string quarterback Zach Mettenberger was recovered by the Packers but did not lead to points. Soon after that, however, an intercepted pass that went off the hands of Battle put the Packers in position to take the leadwitha32-yardfieldgoalbyMasonCrosbywith7:02 remaining in regulation. But the Titans came storming back on their next opportunity. Mettenberger connected with Coffman and Robiskie, setting up Battle’s touchdown.

Ruston Webster is in his third year as execu-tive vice president/general manager in 2014 after serving two seasons as Titans vice president of player personnel. He was elevated to his current position on Jan. 18, 2012. Prior to the start of the 2014 League Year, Webster struck new deals with a pair of key start-ers with expiring contracts: safety Bernard Pollard and defensive end Ropati Pitoitua. Then, he went to work to sign an incoming classof freeagents tofillkey roleson the roster.Among the signees were running back Dexter McCluster (formerly with with Kansas City Chiefs), tackle Michael Oher (Baltimore Ravens), outside linebacker Shaun Phillips (Denver Broncos), quarterback Charlie White-hurst (San Diego Chargers), defensive lineman Al Woods (Pittsburgh Steelers) and linebacker Wesley Woodyard (Broncos). With the 11th overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, Webster led the Titans’ selection of tackle Taylor Lewan, a 6-foot-7 Associated Press All-American and four-year starter at Michigan. Lewan headlined a six-member draft class that also included Washington running back Bishop Sankey (second round), Penn State defensive lineman DaQuan Jones (fourth round), Wyo-ming defensive back Marqueston Huff (fourth round), Kentucky linebacker Avery Williamson (fifth round) and Louisiana State quarterback Zach Mettenberger (sixth round). During the 2013 offseason, Webster engineered deals with 17 free agents. Out of that group, Pollard and left guard Andy Levitre started all 16 games, and Pollard led the defense with a career-high 142 tackles. Pitoitua (16 games, 13 starts) and defensive lineman Sammie Hill (13 games, 10 starts) were key members of the defensive line rotation, while Moise Fokou (12 starts) was the defensive signal caller for most of the season at middle linebacker. Tight end Delanie Walker (15 games, 11 starts) totaled 60 re-ceptions for 571 yards and six touchdowns, setting career highs in all three categories. Walker became the only tight end in franchise history other than Frank Wycheck to reach 60 receptions in a single season, and his six touchdown receptions tied for fourth place in franchise history among tight ends and were the most since Wycheck’s six in 1996. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who was signed to back up Jake Locker, started nine times and passed for 2,454 yards. Webster made Alabama guard Chance Warmackthefirstofeightto-tal selections in the 2013 NFL Draft, which also featured second-round wide receiver Justin Hunter. Warmack and left tackle Michael Roos were the only two Titans to participate in 100 percent of the offensive or defensive playsin2013,andWarmackbecametheteam’sfirstrookieoffensiveline-man since Roos in 2005 to start every game. Meanwhile, Hunter’s four touchdown receptions tied Kendall Wright (2012) and Tyrone Calico (2003) for the most by a franchise rookie since Chris Sanders’ nine in

Quotes on Ken Whisenhunt:

Titans President/CEO Tommy Smith (Jan. 13, 2014): “This is a big day for this franchise. Ken is a well-respected coach in this league and I am looking forward to seeing his vision become reality for this team. He has a history of building successful offenses and took Arizona to a Super Bowl as a head coach. We all share a common goal for this team and that is to build a consistent winner. I want to thank Ruston for his hard work in the process and the quality candidates that he brought in for interviews.”

General manager Ruston Webster (Jan. 13, 2014): “I have a lot of respect for Ken as a coach and as an offensive mind. The traits that stand out to me when identifying him as our next coach – he is intelligent, has a track record with quality offenses and head coaching success. I really enjoyed our meeting on Friday night in San Diego and we share similar philosophies

about the game. Additionally, we have several mutual colleagues that have spoken highly to me about Ken both as a coach and as a person. I am ex-cited about Ken joining us and the future of the Titans.”

Former Cardinals QB Kurt Warner (Jan. 14, 2014): “I thought he did a great job with us at Arizona. He brought honesty, integrity and consistency in his approach. It was enormous for us because we hadn’t won. He con-vinced us that we could win, that he had a plan and it will work. His biggest challenge was to convince us that we could do it. I consider him a players’ coach and I say that in a good way. He listens to players and takes their input. Now he may not always do what the players want if he doesn’t believe in it, but he has an open door. He also had a good pulse on the team and what we needed.

Within individual games, the Titans’ fortunes have turned dramatically with turnovers. They are 45-1 in their last 46 games in which they are plus-two or better in turnovers. They had a 42-game winning streak in that scenario snapped on Sept. 15, 2013 at Houston. Previously, the last game they lost with a margin of at least plus two was against the Cleveland Browns on Sept. 22, 2002 (plus four).

TITANS & TURNOVER DIFFERENTIAL The Titans selected former running back Eddie George in the firstround of the 1996 NFL Draft, and since that time, no team has had more 1,000-yard rushing seasons than the Titans. George went over 1,000 yards seven times during his career (1996-00, 2002-03). Following his departure, Chris Brown (2004), Travis Henry (2006), LenDale White (2007) and Chris Johnson (2008-13) all have reached the mark. That gives the Titans an NFL-high 16 seasons with a 1,000-yard rush-er from 1996 through the 2013 campaign.

Most individual 1,000-yard rushing seasons, 1996–2013:

1,000-Yard Team Seasons 1. Tennessee Titans 162. New York Jets 143. Cincinnati Bengals 13 Minnesota Vikings 13 San Francisco 49ers 13

MOST 1,000-YARD RUSHERS 1996-2013

In the “Titans era” (1999-present), the Titans have been one of the NFL’s top teams in defending the run, ranking sixth with 106.8 rushing yards per game allowed.

Fewest rushing yards allowed per game, 1999-present:

Rushing yardsTeam Allowed Per Game1. Baltimore Ravens 92.1 Pittsburgh Steelers 92.13. San Diego Chargers 101.84. Minnesota Vikings 102.95. San Francisco 49ers 104.56. Tennessee Titans 106.87. New York Giants 107.88. New England Patriots 109.29. Dallas Cowboys 109.310. Jacksonville Jaguars 109.7

STOPPING THE RUN IN THE “TITANS ERA”

During the franchise’s “Titans era” (1999-present), the Titans have been one of the NFL’s best in return touchdowns. They have reached the end zone 69 times on interceptions, fumble returns and on special teams. In 2013, they had three return touchdowns--an interception return for a score by Alterraun Verner and a fumble recoveries for touchdowns by Karl Klug and Jason McCourty.

Most touchdowns on returns (kickoffs, punts, field goals, intercep-tions, fumbles, blocked kicks), 1999-present:
