In Week 5 of the 2012 season, the Vikings controlled play from both sides of the line of scrimmage against the Titans in a 30-7 win at Mall of America Field. Christian Ponder passed for 258 yards and two touchdowns for the Vikings, and the aerial assault was complemented by 175 rushing yards. Adrian Peterson led the way with 88 yards on 17 carries (5.2 avg.). However, it was wide receiver Percy Harvin who was arguably the biggest antagonist. He recorded a game-high 108 yards on eight receptions,includingatouchdown.HealsorushedforoneofMinnesota’sthree touchdowns. Collectively, the Vikings gained 433 yards, while the Titans managed 267. Running back Chris Johnson was limited to 24 rushing yards on 15 carries.Inthefirsthalf,theTitanswerelimitedto87yardsandconvertedone third down in seven tries. The game was scoreless with three minutes remaining in the firstquarter. The Vikings took the lead on a nine-play, 91-yard drive that includeda45-yardpass fromPonder toHarvin. Then,onfirst-and-goalfrom the four-yard line, Harvin took a handoff and darted into the end zone. The Titans then committed two consecutive turnovers.

Left tackle Taylor Lewan, center Brian Schwenke and right guard Chance Warmack have started in their same positions for all three preseason contests.

ANDREWS SCORES AGAIN: Second-year running back Antonio Andrews made the most of his only rushing attempt of the night. He scored his second touchdown of the preseason, carrying the ball into the end zone on a two-yard run in the second quarter. With 14 total points this preseason, which also includes a touchdown and two-point conversion at Atlanta, he ranks second on the team behind only kicker Ryan Succop (16).

COX RECORDS SECOND INTERCEPTION IN TWO GAMES: Late in the second quarter, cornerback Perrish Cox recorded his second interception in as many weeks, picking off a pass from Aaron Murray that was intended for Jeremy Maclin.

Ruston Webster is entering his fourth season as executive vice president/general manager in 2015. He served two seasons as Titans vice presi-dent of player personnel before he was elevated to his current position on Jan. 18, 2012. Early in the 2015 offseason, Webster en-gineered deals with several players. The Titans gave new contracts to outside linebacker Derrick Morgan, punter Brett Kern, kicker Ryan Succop, tackle Byron Stingily and defensive lineman Karl Klug, retaining the services of key performers who were eligible to sign with other clubs. Additionally, they tapped the free agent market to land outside linebacker Brian Orakpo (formerly with the Washington Redskins), wide receiver Harry Douglas (Atlanta Falcons), safety Da’Norris Searcy(BuffaloBills),tightendAnthony Fasano (Kan-sas City Chiefs) and cornerback Perrish Cox (San Francisco 49ers). In the 2015 NFL Draft, Webster spearheaded the decision to draft Ore-gon quarterback Marcus Mariota with the second overall selection. Mario-ta won the Heisman Trophy in 2014 at the conclusion of a three-year career in which he recorded 10,796 passing yards and 2,237 rushing yards. It was the highest draft pick the Titans/Oilers ever used on a quarterback. In 2014, the Titans’ free agent acquisitions included running backDexter McCluster (Chiefs), backup quarterback Charlie Whitehurst (San Diego Chargers), defensive lineman Al Woods (Pittsburgh Steelers) and linebacker Wesley Woodyard(DenverBroncos). Withthe11thoverallpickinthe2014NFLDraft,WebsterledtheTitans’selection of tackle Taylor Lewan, a 6-foot-7 Associated Press All-American and four-year starter at Michigan. Lewan played in 11 games with six starts as a rookie and was named to the Pro Football Writers of America All-Rook-ie team. Lewan headlined a six-member draft class that also included Wash-ington running back Bishop Sankey (second round), Penn State defensive lineman DaQuan Jones (fourth round), Wyoming defensive back Mar-queston Huff (fourth round), Kentucky linebacker Avery Williamson(fifthround) and Louisiana State quarterback Zach Mettenberger (sixth round). Sankey led the team in rushing as a rookie (569 yards), while Williamson re-corded 107 tackles, the most of any Titans rookie since 1999. Mettenberger became the third quarterback in franchise history to start six or more games as a rookie, recording a team-high 1,412 passing yards. During the 2013 offseason, Webster brought unrestricted free agent tight end Delanie Walker to Tennessee from San Francisco. Walker be-came the only tight end in franchise history other than Frank Wycheck to reach 60 receptions in a single season, accomplishing the feat in both 2013 and 2014. In 2014, he set a new franchise record for a tight end, registering 890 receiving yards. Webster made Alabama guard Chance Warmack the first of eighttotal selections in the 2013 NFL Draft, which also featured second-round wide receiver Justin Hunter.Warmackbecametheteam’sfourthrookiesince1999tostartall32gamesinhisfirsttwoNFLseasons,andHunter’s18.5-yard receiving average during that timespan led the NFL (minimum 40 receptions).
