The suggestion from Hank Koebler via Facebook: “I don't know if this qualifies for further review, but VY's scramble on 3rd-and-long in the red zone, right before CJ's 2nd TD of the day. I think that makes the difference between usual Fisher-ball (settling for field goals every time you get in the red zone) compared to something explosive that puts you in position to score.”

The situation: Third-and-10 from the Buffalo 13-yard line with 12:20 left in the fourth quarter and the score tied, 17-17.

The Titans line up with Nate Washington and Bo Scaife to the left, Kenny Britt and Lavelle Hawkins to the right and Chris Johnson to the left of Vince Young, who’s in shotgun.

Buffalo matches up with its nickel package with Ellis Lankster, Reggie Corner, George Wilson, Drayton Florence and Bryan Scott on the field.

They rush with just their four down linemen.

What I saw unfold after the snap: Johnson heads left and cuts toward the end zone with Scott picking him up.

Jake Scott and Kevin Mawae double team Marcus Stroud and hold him up.

Eugene Amano single blocks John McCargo, who uses a spin move and winds up tugging Amano’s facemask.

Michael Roos pushes Aaron Schobel wide and David Stewart does the same with Chris Kelsay. But the two defensive ends begin to squeeze the back end of the pocket, and Young senses it early and sees room.

Young peers downfield as he scoots up in the pocket, but passes on throwing to Britt, who’s crossed from the right to the middle and is open but only two yards beyond the line of scrimmage.

Paul Posluszny charges up the middle, but quickly loses any advantage in tracking Young as the quarterback slides to his right, gets to full speed and turns the corner to go up the right sideline for the pylon. He starts to lunge and reach for the pylon with the ball at about the 3-yard line with the defender on his left and diving for his legs. Field judge Keith Washington immediately signals that Young didn’t make it into the end zone marking him just short.

Young gets up and signals touchdown. Jeff Fisher challenges, but only because he was calling a timeout anyway to adjust personnel. Referee John Parry upholds the call.

Result: First-and-goal from 1. Johnson scored three plays later, bouncing off a hit behind the line of scrimmage by Scott and Posluszny and heading into the end zone standing from there and Tennessee moves to a 24-17 lead.

Ultimate outcome: The Titans pour it on from there, turning a close game into a 41-17 blowout for their third win in a row.

DeMarcus Faggins is staying in the AFC South. Jim Wyatt reports the former Houston Texan has a deal with the Titans.

Faggins was more part of the problem than the solution in Houston last season, but the Titans play more zone and apparently think he can help. He currently ranks as the third outside cornerback on the team -- though safety Vincent Fuller works inside as the nickel back.

In the Texans locker room and with team brass, he was enormously popular and his personality should fit nicely with the Titans secondary, where three of four starters were in the Pro Bowl.

Contract details are unknown. But I suspect if Cary Williams and a draft pick or two outplay Faggins in the preseason, he might not be on the team on opening day.

The Titans signed veteran safety Brian Scott (now with the Bills) in 2007 as veteran depth and a special-team guy and he didn't wind up sticking.
