Titans Growing Up

It has been reported that a pair of Tennessee Titans are starting to mature a little bit.
Quarterback Vince Young and running back LenDale White each told The Tennessean they are starting to grow up.
Young said he's learned a lot after the debacle to start last year against Jacksonville. White, meanwhile, said he's in better shape.
Both are needed.

NFL quarterbacks tend to not last the whole season, meaning starter Kerry Collins probably won't play 16 games. That means Young will at one point lead the Titans. They will need him to be mature in order to take that next step. Young has shown he can win some, but his number haven't been all that impressive. Moreover, beyond this season, Young's status is uncertain. Big money kicks in during the 2010 season, and the Titans won't pay him if he's not ready to take the reins.
White will have to prove he's in better shape, which hopefully makes him quicker and faster. He did a nice job last year, rushing for 773 yards on 80 carries with a team-high 15 touchdowns. But in the Divisional Playoff round against Baltimore after Chris Johnson, who had rushed for 72 yards on 11 carries, went down in the first half, the offense was never the same. White did combine for 80 yards rushing and receiving, but the difference between the two was obvious. A better White will make a huge difference.
And a better Young and White will be needed at some point in 2009. If not, the Titans might be stuck in the Divisional Playoffs.
