Transition on the fly has been difficult, with Chuck Cecil taking over as coordinator from the departed Jim Schwartz and All-Pro interior lineman Albert Haynesworth now a member of the Washington Redskins. After the shootout with Houston last week, Tennessee is averaging an unsightly 388.5 total yards-against in two games and is an uncharacteristic minus-1 in turnover ratio.

He is playing a lot at defensive end this season after the departure of Brian Orakpo, last season's Nagurski, Lombardi and Hendricks awards winner and a first-round draft pick of the Washington Redskins. Kindle thought about leaving for the NFL after last season, but chose to return for his senior year.

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -Jason Campbell says the Washington Redskins are putting too much pressure on themselves. Clinton Portis says ``everybody in this organization'' is on the hot seat and that the owner is on the verge of losing fans. Jim Zorn admitted that the halfback pass is probably not a good idea on third-and-goal from the 5. And the new right guard? The coaches still haven't decided who that's going to be - mainly because the front office gave them a full slate of backups who didn't play a down in the |

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) -The Detroit Lions have a lot of tickets to sell to avoid a blackout. The team said Wednesday it has 10,000 tickets available for Sunday's home game against the Washington Redskins.

The Lions had 1,700 tickets available a week ago and sold them after a one-day extension. It allowed local viewers to watch the Lions |
