The Titans believe Jake Locker has improved his passing accuracy after working with Matt Hasselbeck. The new and improved version will be on display Saturday night against the Vikings in the team's preseason opener. Even if Locker looks like the next Peyton Manning, it won't matter. Barring an injury to Hasselbeck, Locker is highly unlikely to start any games this season. That being said, it's good to hear the rookie is focused on improving his faults.

The Titans plan to get rookie Jake Locker some first-team reps in each of their four preseason games. "We will probably take Matt (Hasselbeck) out sooner, and leave (Locker) in there with the first group," said coach Mike Munchak. Early reports on Locker have been as expected; he's a gym rat, student of the game, and throws well on the run. He hasn't impressed when asked to stand in the pocket and make accurate throws. Hasselbeck is locked in as the starter barring injury.

Titans agreed to terms with No. 8 overall pick Jake Locker on a four-year contract. Titans coaches deemed Locker not ready to step right in as a rookie, so they went out and signed Matt Hasselbeck. It's an ideal situation for Locker, who can learn from the veteran quarterback while working on his constantly-questioned accuracy. Barring an injury to Hasselbeck, Locker is unlikely to start any games this season.
