Titans Will Name A Starting QB By 3rd Preseason Game

[SteveRobWhatever]

Titans head coach Mike Munchak expects to name a starting quarterback by the team's third preseason game on Aug. 23. Matt Hasselbeck and Jake Locker have alternated reps during the Titans' first practice Saturday, a pattern that is likely to continue until coaches come to a decision. Munchak said he wants to name a starter by that date for the good of team chemistry and preparation for the regular season. "I think we have no choice but to. We can't wait past that," Munchak said. "I mean in any position, again just philosophy wise, you got to do what's best for your team and you got to make a decision." In his mind, there is no such thing as overdoing the analysis of picking a starting quarterback. "You're looking at everything. You can't overanalyze. It's not just the quarterback, there's everything," he said. "You're kind of taking it all in on the field. You can see things on the field obviously you cannot see on film. That's the type of stuff . the interactions, how they respond to each other, how they respond after maybe a couple of bad plays, how they take the coaching. Those are the things you see on the field -- the body language."
