The Facts:
Locker has a head start on veteran Matt Hasselbeck with the Titans, and the quarterback plans to make the best of his advantage.

Hasselbeck has signed his three-year deal. But veterans like Hasselbeck are stuck watching until Thursday under the new labor deal. That’s giving extra work to Locker, Rusty Smith and Brett Ratliff as the Titans hit the field for the first time Saturday. The veteran says waiting won’t be easy, but Hasselbeck says he has enough work to stay busy until he can take his first snap. Locker is the eighth pick overall, and he was the first player into the building Tuesday when the lockout was lifted. Locker says he would be doing a disservice to Hasselbeck by not pushing the veteran and give himself every chance to play. That said, there's a reason Hasselbeck is in Tennessee. And it's not to watch from the sidelines.
