FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DECEMBER 8, 2014 NASHVILLE — This week the Tennessee Titans (2-11) host the New York Jets (2-11). The late afternoon kickoff at LP Field (capacity 69,143) is scheduled for 3:05 p.m. CST on Sunday, Dec. 14. THE BROADCAST This week’s game will be televised regionally on CBS, including Nashville affiliate WTVF NewsChannel 5. Andrew Catalon will handle play-by-play duties, while Steve Beuerlein and Steve Tasker will serve as analysts. 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. TITANS LOOK TO GET BACK IN WIN COLUMN The Titans have three games remaining on their 2014 slate. Following this week’s contest, they have a short week to prepare for a Thursday night matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the season concludes at home versus the Indianapolis Colts. Last week the Titans hosted the New York Giants at LP Field, trying to put a stop to a six-game losing skid. But the Giants, who themselves were in the midst of seven consecutive losses, were less than charitable to the Titans’ cause. The visitors scored the game’s first 30 points and left Nashville with a 36-7 victory. The Giants defense forced three turnovers, sacked Titans quarterbacks eight times, and allowed the Titans to run only one play inside the red zone. The Titans’ lone touchdown came not by their offense but on an intercep- tion return by rookie defensive back Marqueston Huff. Already plagued by injuries, Tennessee suffered more personnel losses during the game, none more no- table than quarterback Zach Mettenberger. Less than five minutes into the fourth quarter, the rookie signal caller was sacked by linebacker Devon Kennard and stayed on the turf. He was diagnosed with a right shoulder injury for the second consecutive week and was replaced by Jake Locker. Mettenberger has started the last six games, becoming only the third rookie quarterback in franchise history to record at least six starts (Dan Pastorini, Vince Young). His season totals include 107-of-179 passing for 1,412 yards with eight touchdowns and seven interceptions. His 83.4 passer rating is the best among NFL rookies in 2014 with at least one start. Locker, who started four out of the team’s first five games in 2014, has completed 80 of his 135 passes for 936 yards, five touchdowns and seven interceptions. The former first-round pick has 22 career starts in four seasons. THE JETS The Jets have an identical record to the Titans after dropping their last three games at the Buffalo Bills (Nov. 24), against the Miami Dolphins (Dec. 1) and last week at the Minnesota Vikings (Dec. 7). Against the Vikings, the Jets forced overtime in the frigid Minneapolis climate after Nick Folk made his fifth field goal with 23 seconds remaining in regulation. However, the Vikings scored on an 87-yard pass in the extra period to win 30-24. The Jets are in their sixth season under head coach Rex Ryan, who was named to the post in January 2009. From 2009 through the 2013 season, the Jets ranked second in the NFL in total defense and first in passing defense. In 2014, the Jets are ranked seventh in overall defense entering Week 15. They are fifth in rushing defense and tied for 16th against the pass. One of the Jets’ featured offensive weapons is running back Chris Johnson, who joined the Jets during the 2014 offseason after playing his first six NFL seasons with the Titans. The third-leading rusher in Titans/Oilers history, Johnson was selected by the Titans with the 24th overall selection in the 2008 NFL Draft. He totaled 7,965 yards and 50 rushing touchdowns during his time in Tennessee, a period in which only Adrian Peterson had more rushing yards than him. Johnson set the NFL record with six career touchdown runs of 80 yards or longer, and he authored 35 career 100-yard rushing games in a Titans uniform. Johnson’s 2014 totals include 125 carries for 558 yards and a touchdown. He shares the tailback duties with Chris Ivory (714 yards), and together they have helped the Jets build the second-ranked rushing attack in the NFL. U.S. MARINE CORPS TOYS FOR TOTS DRIVE Prior to the game, fans are encouraged to participate in the annual U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots Drive. New, unwrapped toys can be dropped off with members of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve stationed outside of the gates at LP Field.

WiththeTitansdeployinganoffensethatwasmissingseveralstarters,the Giants forced three turnovers and sacked Titans quarterbacks eight times. One of those sacks—the second of two impact sacks by linebacker Devon Kennard—knocked starting quarterback Zach Mettenberger out of the contest. Giants quarterback Eli Manning completed 26 of his 42 pass attempts for 260 yards and a touchdown to Odell Beckham Jr. The rookie wide receiver totaled 130 yards on 11 catches, doing most of his damage in a nine-catch,117-yardfirsthalf. They were also effective running the ball against the Titans. Running back Andre Williams led the effort with 24 carries for 131 yards and a touchdown.

TITANS/OILERS HEAD COACH HISTORY

General manager Ruston Webster (Jan. 13, 2014): “I have a lot of respect forKenasacoachandasanoffensivemind.Thetraitsthatstandouttome 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 spokenhighlytomeaboutKenbothasacoachandasaperson.Iamex-citedaboutKenjoiningusandthefutureoftheTitans.”

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. His style also gave us ownership in the process, knowing that our voice could be heard, which was huge for us. It also helped the leaders on the team solidify those roles knowing we could have an impact with the coach. It helped the leaders be leaders. Offensively, what I loved about himwashis flexibility.Whenhegot toArizona, his background inPittsburghwasmostlytwoback/twotightendoffense.Butthatwasn’thowwewerebuilt inArizona.HewasflexibletoideasandlearnedhowIsawthegameandfittheoffensetowhatwehad.Wewereabletodevelopanoffense that was one of the best in the NFL and that input from those in the offense gave them an ownership and buy-in that helped us as well.

I think he has grown a great deal in thelastfiveorsixyearsinhisoffensiveapproachandyouseethesuccesshe has had. I appreciate his consistency, especially when you see coaches change because of success or struggles. He is a man of integrity and never wavered from that. He says what he is going to do and follows through on that. As players, sometimes you might not agree with it, but you know where he stands and you can battle for guys like that.”

Former Steelers Head Coach/Current NFL on CBS Analyst Bill Cowher (Jan. 14, 2014): “He spent time with us (at the Steelers) as both a tight ends coach and offensive coordinator and he works great with players. He played the game and he was respected by the players for his knowledge. He also was innovative and creative but always sound in what he did. He would put players in a position to be successful and get the most out of them. It is important in the NFL to be able to create those situations for success, be-cause the challenges change on a weekly basis. I think it is a great hire by Tennessee. You look at what he did in Arizona and when he had stability at the quarterback position, he was very good. He will get the most out of the talent that they have there. I wish him nothing but the best.”

Prior to the regular season opener, the Titans voted on team captains for the 2014 season. The five players to receive the honor were quar-terback Jake Locker (offense), wide receiver Nate Washington (offense), linebacker Wesley Woodyard (defense), defensive tackle Jurrell Casey (defense) and safety George Wilson (special teams).

The Titans will elect one captain each week on a rotational basis. This is the eighth year of the NFL’s emphasis on season-long team captains on offense, defense and special teams through the team captain leadership program, which was created in 2007 by the league and theNFL’s Player Advisory Council. Elected captains wear a “C” on the upper right chest of their jerseys. Their role is to serve as a link between players, coaches and management to help foster cohesion within teams.

SACKS IN HOME CONTESTS

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) andChris 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, 1996–2014:

Say-ing they were on a day hike, they walked 14 hours through the mountains ended up in Austria. The family spent eight months in a refugee camp until being legalized to come to the United States. “My parents were hard-working immigrants who came here to achieve the American Dream and help their sons each their full potential,” said Svitek. “I think they instilled it in me to do everything well. I am competitive person on the field and in the classroom and I don’t think you can just turn that switch off.”

TAYLOR THOMPSON ¾ Although Thompson spent four college seasons as a defensive end, he

was not foreign to the offensive side of the ball. At Prosper (Texas) High School, he caught 58 passes for 960 yards as a senior wide receiver, in ad-dition to playing defensive end and punter. Recruited by Vanderbilt as a tight end, he initially committed to the Commodores but then enrolled at South-ern Methodist in order to stay closer to home. Under new head coach June Jones, however, SMU employed a spread offense that did not use a tight end, and Thompson decided to make his mark at defensive end. It was not until the final month of his senior season there that Jones encouraged him to think about making the switch back to tight end. He did, and in February 2012, Titans scouts became convinced of his potential at the Players All-Star Classic in Little Rock, Ark.

¾ The outdoor enthusiast enjoys golf, fishing and rock climbing. He also plays the guitar.

¾ Thompson’s “bucket list” includes going to the moon.
