Vince Young has taken over the leadership reigns of the Tennessee Titans, which is all well and good. What's not good? Swinging at a teammate with a helmet on WITH HIS THROWING HAND. My preference is not to see my quarterback throwing punches with his throwing hand,'' Coach Jeff Fisher said with a slight smile.Winning the Turnover Battle has the video. Young was apparently quite unhappy with a hit from Donnie Nickey on wide receiver Courtney Roby. Titans' safety thought it was actually a solid hit.Fortunately for the Titans, Young wasn't injured.
"We need to avoid the stuff on the field," Fisher said. "But it happens. Everything is OK.''
Have to love the Training Camp fights between teammates. This will hardly be the last."I didn't need to take him down,' Nickey said. "If it was on Sunday, it's a great play, forced fumble. But against my teammates, you can't do that. I can't hurt my own teammates. I'm going to pull off when I can. At that moment, I couldn't.
"I apologized. I realize that it wasn't clean, it wasn't the right thing to do. (But) if somebody comes at me, I'm not going to back down.
"I don't care, Vince, President Bush, that's just instincts that comes out. But I respect (Young) for it. I didn't want that to happen. I think it's over, we put it to bed.''
