Although there are few big names on the list, there indeed are, and I believe there will be quite a few fans to cheer or boo in their beloved’ players’ NFL jerseys. As the game result will not count anything, let’s just sit down to enjoy the playing itself.
Matt Schaub from the Houston Texans will start at quarterback for the AFC team, with Tennessee Titans Vince Young and Jacksonville Jaguars David Garrard being his backups. The starting running back for this team will be Titans RB Chris Johnson, who just achieved his goal of running over 2,000 yards in a single season. Maurice Jones-Drew of the Jaguars and Ray Rice from the Baltimore Ravens will cooperate with him at the position. And Schaub will throw the ball to his teammate in Houston, Andre Johnson or Denver Broncos receiver trouble maker Brandon Marshall, and Bengals flamboyant Chad Ochocinco and Chargers Vincent Jackson are backup them.
Starter at tight end is Antonio Gate of the Chargers with Steelers’ Heath Miller being the backup. Tackles are Broncos Ryan Clady, Browns Joe Thomas and Jets D'Brickashaw Ferguson, with the former two being starters. Guards and centers are names we are less familiar with than those listed above. Patriots Logan Mankins, Jets Alan Faneca and Chargers Kris Dielman will guard the whole defense while Jets Nick Mangold and Titans Kevin Mawae are to play some important role as centers. The last name for the defense but not the least famous: Le’Ron McClain from Baltimore to be the only fullback.

Titans QB Young was not ready to practice yet
The Tennessee Titans Vince Young wants to play Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins, although his right hamstring injury still keeps him out of team’s practices.
Young didn’t practice Wednesday, but appeared in sweat shirt, instead of his Titans jersey, and watched his teammates working out with the hood over his head most of the time. A quick healer, Young said he feels much better than when he strained the back of his right leg in last weekend’s 47-7 win over the St. Louis Rams, and he would likely play Sunday’s game as it is a crucial game for the Titans (6-7) to keep their faint playoff hopes alive for another week.
Young has led the Titans to win six of the last seven games, including a five game streak, since he took over Kerry Collins as a starter of the 0-6 Titans. The fourth-year quarterback is 4-0 at home this season where he has completed 69.1 percent of his passes for 854 yards with four touchdowns and only one interception for a 107.3 passer rating.
Not practicing last Friday after aggravating his right knee the day before, he still played very well during last week’s win before he pulled up at the end of a 44-yard run that was the longest of his career. Having completed 6-of-8 for 132 yards with one touchdown pass, he left the field the Titans leading 14-0, a solid foundation for the 47-7 win.
