NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -Tennessee defensive tackle Robaire Smith hurt his hamstring when he jumped offside in the first quarter against the New York Jets and had to leave the field. Jets left guard Pete Kendall also hurt his hamstring. Kendall's return was questionable, but Smith returned to the sideline in street clothes late in the third quarter. The Titans only signed the six-year veteran on Wednesday, and he started Sunday against the Jets. He was flagged for a neutral zone infraction on the first |

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -The Tennessee Titans ended the speculation Sunday 90 minutes before kickoff and named Kerry Collins their starter for the season opener with the New York Jets. Entering his 12th season, Collins will be starting for his fifth NFL team 13 days after he signed a one-year contract with Tennessee. The Titans listed Billy Volek, who was named the starter in June after Steve McNair was traded to Baltimore, as their third quarterback. Rookie Vince Young, the No. 3 pick overall out of Te |

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -A new season, a fresh start. That's exactly what the New York Jets and Tennessee Titans are looking for Sunday. Each went 4-12 in 2005, leading to big offseason changes. The Jets found a new coach in Eric Mangini, and the Titans have nine new starters, including center Kevin Mawae, let go by the Jets. Tennessee linebacker Keith Bulluck sees the first game as a time for redemption. ``It's a clean slate. Everybody starts off 0-0 and may the best team win,'' he said. Mangini, a |

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -Kevin Mawae is 35, heading into his 13th NFL season after missing the final 10 games of 2005 with a torn left triceps, and couldn't be happier. Just don't ask him about his former team, the New York Jets. His new team, the Tennessee Titans, open the season Sunday by hosting the Jets and the coach who apparently decided they didn't need a six-time Pro Bowl center anymore. ``I'm not going to address it, not one bit,'' Mawae said politely, but firmly. ``It's not about me and the |

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) -Eric Barton isn't quite sure what all the fuss is about. The veteran linebacker has heard all summer about how the New York Jets might not have the right personnel or talent to successfully run a 3-4 defensive scheme. Or how the change from the 4-3 will make some players less effective. ``It's football, man,'' Barton said Thursday as the Jets prepared for the season opener at Tennessee. ``You have to get off blocks, run to the ball and make tackles.'' Sounds simple enough. That |
