So they bring in an good vet TE to help the offense grow, and a oft injured DE who had his best years with the Titans to help the kids on the D. How is anything they're doing wrong? They've grown by leaps and bounds over the last 2 years and still have a very young team and you're going to chastise them? No, sorry. That sh*t won't fly.

First off, knock off the asterisk swearing.
Im not impressed at all by the Titans "young" team. Neither is Haynesworth who was quoted as saying the Titans are getting worse:

"It's like a repeat of last year," Haynesworth said Tuesday. "We need more weapons for Vince (Young). Now we need more defensive linemen. We are not doing anything. We are really just making ourselves worse the way I look at it. … It doesn't look like we're trying to get better."

And that young receiving core with good potential. Who exactly? Justin Gage? Roydell Williams? Eric Moulds? Mike Williams? Oh wait you must mean Alge Crumpler? Right...
The running backs - LenDale White had a 1000 yard season but is definitely no game breaker and Chris Henry is a situational back... even if he's from Arizona. This is moot because Young can carry the ball so effectively himself.
They also lost several players on defense.
The Titans have $25-28M worth of cap room this year and they signed Kearse? No WR to give Young a big, dependable target? Nothing.
So before you jump all over me, read the papers, check out who's left and who's signed.
