Houston New Orleans Tennessee N.Y. Jets Green Bay REVIEW NASHVILLE, TENN. - The Titans concluded a trying season with a renewed focus and a hope that the NFL s youngest roster in 2005 will forge a successful campaign in 2006 and the years ahead. Although a 4-12 record was lacking in bottom-line results, stories emerged during the season that provided a glimpse of the potential within the organization. Head Coach Jeff Fisher and quarterback Steve McNair reached career milestones, while a young group of tight ends and rookie wide receivers put up historic numbers. Defensively, the Titans uncovered one of the league s best pass rushers in Kyle Vanden Bosch, while linebacker Keith Bulluck remained at the top of his game. As the Titans enter the 2006 offseason, another reason for optimism exists. Due to their 4-12 finish, the Titans hold the third overall selection in the 2006 NFL Draft, which will be held April in New York. The last time the team drafted that high was 1995, when General Manager Floyd Reese and the then-houston Oilers selected McNair with the third pick. Among the Titans 2005 season highlights: Jeff Fisher won his 100th game as a head coach. With a career mark (.537), Fisher is the winningest head coach in the franchise s 46-year history. Floyd Reese won his 100th game as general manager in Week 2 against Baltimore. His 103 wins are the most by a general manager in franchise history. Quarterback Steve McNair became the 49th player in NFL history and second player in team history to reach 25,000 passing yards in his career. With 3,161 passing yards, the fifth-best total of his career, he surpassed the 3,000-yard mark for the fifth time. His 16 touchdown passes gave him 156 for his career, making him the third player in team history (Warren Moon, George Blanda) to reach 150 career touchdown passes. McNair also rushed for 139 yards, which put him ahead of John Elway for fourth-place in NFL history among quarterbacks with 3,439 career rushing yards. The Titans tight ends -- Erron Kinney, Ben Troupe, Bo Scaife and Gregg Guenther -- collectively recorded 149 receptions, the second-best total by a group of tight ends in NFL history. They trailed only the tight ends from the 1984 San Diego Chargers, who posted 163 receptions as a unit. Brad Hopkins became the third player in franchise history to play 13 seasons in an Oilers/Titans uniform, joining Elvin Bethea and Bruce Matthews. Hopkins started 15 games at left tackle in In his first year with the Titans, defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch finished fourth in the league with 12.5 sacks, a career high for the fifth-year player who spent the first four seasons of his career with the Arizona Cardinals. He also finished the season with 100 tackles, which is the highest total by a member of the team s defensive line since 1986, when Ray Childress and Richard Byrd were credited with 172 and 124 tackles, respectively. Linebacker Keith Bulluck led the team in tackles for the fourth consecutive season. He posted 150 total tackles, giving him 150 or more tackles in each of the past four seasons. He is the fourth player in team history to accomplish the feat, joining former Oilers Gregg Bingham ( ) and Al Smith ( ).

3 2006 DRAFT TITANS TO SELECT THIRD IN DRAFT The Titans possess the third overall selection in the 2006 NFL Draft, which will be held April in New York. Additionally, they currently have picks in the second, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh rounds. Compensatory selections may be awarded later in the offseason based on last year s net free agent losses. Barring any trades, Tennessee s pick will follow those of the Houston Texans and New Orleans Saints, who hold the top two spots in the draft. The Titans do not have a third-round pick in the draft due to a trade in 2005 with the Buffalo Bills. The Titans acquired running back Travis Henry in exchange for their thirdround selection this year. The Titans, who last year selected cornerback Pacman Jones with the sixth overall draft selection, have not picked as high as third in the draft since 1995, when they chose quarterback Steve McNair with the third pick. Since 1967, when the American Football League and National Football League began having one common draft, the Oilers/Titans have selected third in the draft five times and have taken a quarterback with three of those picks. They selected quarterback Dan Pastorini in 1971 with the third pick, defensive end Ray Childress in 1985, quarterback Jim Everett in 1986, running back Alonzo Highsmith in 1987 and McNair in The team has had the first overall selection twice , when they chose defensive end John Matuszak, and 1978, when they picked Hall of Fame running back Earl Campbell. They have selected second in the draft just once, in 1984, when they took tackle Dean Steinkuhler. Under Floyd Reese, who has served as general manager since 1994, the Titans have used their 10 first-round draft picks on defensive end Henry Ford (1994), McNair (1995), running back Eddie George (1996), defensive end Kenny Holmes (1997), wide receiver Kevin Dyson (1998), defensive end Jevon Kearse (1999), linebacker Keith Bulluck (2000), defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth (2002), cornerback Andre Woolfolk (2003) and Jones (2005). Twice under Reese, as a result of trades, the Titans have not had a first-round selection.

5 JEFF FISHER THE HEAD COACHES THE HEAD COACHES TITANS HEAD COACH JEFF FISHER: Jeff Fisher completed his 11th full season as head coach of the Titans in With a career record, including postseason, he holds the franchise record for wins by a head coach. Fisher has 65 wins over the last six seasons, which is behind Mike Shanahan (67) and Bill Cowher (70) for third in the AFC, and he is tied with Jon Gruden for fifth overall in the NFL since 1999 behind Tony Dungy (77), Andy Reid (70), Cowher and Shanahan. In Week 5 at Houston (10/9), Fisher became the 34th head coach in NFL history and 10th active coach to reach 100 career wins (Dungy later reached 100 wins in 2005). He is one of 17 coaches to do so with just one team. Among current head coaches, only Pittsburgh s Cowher has been with his team longer than Fisher has been with the Oilers/Titans. His team's success over the previous six years is unmatched by any coach in franchise history. Fisher led the Titans to four playoff appearances (1999, 2000, 2002, 2003), two Division titles (2000 & 2002), two AFC Championship Games (1999, 2002) and one Super Bowl berth (XXXIV). He has presided over the most victorious (61 regular season wins and 5 postseason wins) and successful six-year period in the franchise's 46-year history. In 2004, at age 46, he became the fourth youngest coach to win 90 regular season games since Only John Madden (41), Don Shula (41), and Bill Cowher (44) were faster to 90 wins. A native of Woodland Hills, Calif., the former USC and Chicago Bears defensive back became the franchise s 15th head coach on January 5, 1995 after serving the final six games of the 1994 season as the team s interim head coach. Fisher facts: At USC, played in the same defensive backfield as future NFL stars Ronnie Lott, Dennis Smith and Joey Browner. Was a seventh-round draft pick by the Chicago Bears in In 1985, served in an unofficial assistant coach capacity while on injured reserve during the Bears run to Super Bowl XX. In 1988, at the age of 30, became the NFL s youngest defensive coordinator under Buddy Ryan. Serves as Co-Chairman of the NFL Competition Committee.

Against Jacksonville (11/20), the Titans defense held the Jaguars to no yards and no first downs in the first quarter. The last time the Titans did not allow any first quarter yards was 2004 against Chicago (11/14). Since the start of the 1995 season, Jeff Fisher s first full season as the team s head coach, the Titans have been successful jumping out to first quarter leads.

7 JEFF FISHER / ROOKIES FISHER VS. FIRST-YEAR COACHES Three times in 2005 the Titans faced teams with a coach in his first year with the team. Titans Head Coach Jeff Fisher and his team squared off against Romeo Crennel and the Cleveland Browns, Mike Nolan s San Francisco 49ers and Nick Saban s Miami Dolphins. The Titans were 1-2 in those games, winning against the 49ers and dropping games to the Browns and Dolphins. In 26 first-time meetings between Fisher and a coach in his first year with a new club, Fisher s record is 19-8 (see adjacent list). Fisher was 18-4 in initial meetings with coaches in their first year with a club until last season, when the Titans were bested by Lovie Smith s Chicago Bears and Norv Turner s Oakland Raiders. In 2006, the Titans will face two teams with new head coaches -- the Houston Texans and the New York Jets. TIME OF POSSESSION Winning the time-of-possession battle is a trademark of Jeff Fisher clubs. Under Fisher, the Titans have never finished a season with a possession average under 31 minutes. Since the start of the 1999 season, the Titans have successfully controlled the ball for 30 minutes or more in 79 of 112 regular season games (70.5 percent). They are (.671) in regular season games when they win time of possession versus (.394) when they do not during that time span. Season Avg. TOP Season Avg.

The last time the franchise started six or more rookies in a game was December 18, 1983, a season finale at Baltimore in which the team started eight rookies. The six starts by rookies tied for the most by an NFL team in Later in the season, the San Francisco 49ers started six rookies in two games (12/18 at Jacksonville and 12/24 at St. Louis). Previously, the last time another team started six rookies was the final week of the 2004 regular season (Jan. 2), when both the playoff-bound San Diego Chargers and Indianapolis Colts started six rookies.
