Vince Young excused from Titans meeting to spend time with Steve McNairs kids...

Young attended a “Dear Dads Breakfast” for the sons of Steve McNair at St. Paul Christian Academy. He picked up Tyler and Trent McNair at their home that morning, took them to breakfast and school. He did the same thing last September following the death of McNair.

Young asked Fisher for permission to attend the function several weeks back.

“He showed up, took them, brought them to school and was quite the hit,’’ said Julie Dilworth, admissions director at St. Paul Christian Academy. “He has been so good to those boys. He does a lot with them, great things. I love that it wasn’t just words for him when he said he would help. He has stepped up and done it, and it is a blessing.’’

Never really known what to think about Vince Young, always kind of seemed like a slacker to me... this is really cool of him to do.

I've always felt Vince Young was a good guy, he just let the stress and pressure of the job get to him. I hope he tears it up this year.

This story is also a testament to the kind of man McNair was to Vince Young. The same values he inspired in Young are now being passed down to his children. It's just a shame he's no longer around to do that himself.

McNair is not there for his children because he cheated on their mother. Not great values to pass along. His death was tragic and the circumstances compounded that for his children (and wife). I hope Young has his head on straight for the sake of the kids, but his recent history is worrisome. It is nice of him to want to help and then to follow through. Sometimes by helping others you help yourself. Hope it works for all of them.

I'm sure McNair taught his kids to cheat on women, and for that he deserved to die. I don't know of anyone who is a saint. McNair was obviously in the wrong for cheating on his wife, but he certainly made an impact on Young and you're now seeing that trickle down to his children. He made an impact on many of the people he came in contact with; it seems silly to criticize the guy for a mistake.

I hope when I pass, people don't allow any of my mistakes to define me as a person.

    • I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.
    • From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"
    • Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
