QB Jake Locker wants to end preseason on high note

Jake Locker’s plan for Thursday night is simple.

The Titans quarterback wants to end the preseason with momentum before turning his attention to the regular season opener against the Patriots.

“In the final week of the preseason we just want to go out and be crisp,’’ Locker said. ”The last few weeks we’ve had a few more three-and-outs than we would like so I think we’d like to go out and sustain some drives and move the ball and put some points on the board.”

The Titans face the Saints at 6 p.m. at LP Field.

It will be Locker’s third start of the preseason, and his second since being named the team’s starter for the 2012 season. Locker played well last week against the Cardinals, throwing for 134 yards and two touchdowns in just over a half. It was a big improvement compared to his first start, against Tampa Bay.

Locker said he’s getting more comfortable each game.

“It’s just nice knowing and being able to get in the huddle and roll with the group you know you’re going to be going with it definitely give you a sense of confidence,’’ Locker said. “But I try not to put too much on your last performance because there’s nothing you can do about it you can’t go back and fix it whether it was good or bad so you just focus on the next one.”

Already, the Titans have done some preparation for the season opener on September 9 against the Patriots.

Locker, however, said his focus is on tonight.

“Here and there, just to work on some things, but we are still focusing our last preseason game and how we can improve there,’’ Locker said. “I don’t think it is hard (to focus) because it is your last opportunity to go out and get ready for the regular-season.

“The best preparation for week one is to go out and be prepared to perform well in the last preseason game.”
