Tennessee Titans REALITY CHECK NEEDED, Callahan Still Not the Answer & Gunnar Helm Must Play More

Tennessee Titans REALITY CHECK NEEDED, Callahan Still Not the Answer & Gunnar Helm Must Play More

It was great to see the Tennessee Titans win on Sunday, but if we’re honest, this team is still terrible. It’s time for a reality check on today’s edition of Locked on Titans.

I don’t mean to be a wet blanket or rain on the parade, but I’m seeing a lot of crazy things being said out there, and we need to have a moment to be honest about this football team. I’m going to talk about the Titans schedule going forward and how many wins I think they might actually get the rest of the year. We’ll talk about the status of Brian Callahan. And we need to talk about some players on this team who are just not living up to their end of the bargain. But before we go, we are going to talk about some things to get excited about for this week coming up. Now, before we dive into all of that, thank you for making Locked on Titans your first listen each and every day. Remember, Monday through Friday, Tennessee Titans content all year round, always for free. Make sure that you get subscribed, stay subscribed. It’s your team every day. Speaking of every day, shout out to my everydayers out there tuning in Monday through Friday. Couldn’t do it without you guys. If you aren’t an everydayer, you need to be one. The Titans got a big game this weekend against the Raiders. And hey, a lot of people are excited coming off that win. Maybe the Titans are able to keep the momentum going, but I got to tell you, I’m not very optimistic about their ability to keep the momentum going. I think that we need to acknowledge some realities here. That win was an absolute fluke against the Arizona Cardinals. Now, the Titans deserve their credit for making plays. something I talked about on the squad show on Tuesday with Brad Hopkins and Julian Mesone. Like we talked about, hey, the Cardinals gave opportunities away, but the Titans also took advantage of opportunities. It’s not like the Cardinals gave the Titans their touchdown drives that they went on. It’s not like the Cardinals gave the Titans their defensive stops after that fumble at the goal line. You know what I mean? The Titans took care of plenty of those chances, but they should have got rolled by the Cardinals. If Demarcado doesn’t drop the ball at the goal line, the Titans are down 28-6 in the fourth quarter and they absolutely get smoked and we’re sitting here having the same conversations about Brian Callahan being fired and this team being the worst team that we’ve ever seen. I’m sorry. While there are things that I liked from that game, and we talked about them all day yesterday, if you’re going to get all mad and angry in my comments, oh, he’s so negative and then go back and listen to yesterday’s show where I talked about all of the things that I think are real and are encouraging and are exciting and optimistic for the Titans. But we got to have the other side of that conversation. There are people saying, “Oh, the Titans could get back in it. Oh, Titans might be able to get more wins than they got last year. This team may turn the corner that No. No. I’m sorry. I’m not buying that. This team is still the worst, if not the second worst team in the NFL. I firmly believe that. Brian Callahan is still a terrible football coach. He’s awful. The Titans won this game in spite of Brian Callahan. Like, they came out totally unprepared. They got smoked out of the gate. They had no answers whatsoever until the Cardinals provided them their answers. The Titans didn’t dig deep and pull this out of themselves. The Cardinals gave this game away. And you look at the Tennessee Titans schedule going forward. And I’m sorry, but I don’t think this team is winning more games than they won last year. I think they’ll be lucky to get the three wins. They play the Raiders this week in Las Vegas. That’s their best opportunity, I think, to get a win before Thanksgiving because after this, they’re going to play the Patriots. The Titans are going to get throttled by the Patriots. Not only is Mike Rabel going to have his team playing on fire and you know that, but the Patriots are actually a decent football team. So, with a decent football team with max motivation, they are going to smoke the Titans. I mean, it’s going to be ugly. And then the Titans got to play the Colts in Indianapolis. Give me a break. Now, the Chargers have not been playing good football lately. They’re beat up on the offensive line. They don’t have any running backs. The defense looks terrible. But do you think a Jim Harbaugh team with Justin Herbert at quarterback is going to lose to the Titans? No. No. Come on. And then the Titans play the Texans. They just got beat 26 to nothing by the Texans. And the Texans are turning things around now after their get-Right game against the Titans. The Texans are never going to be as bad as they were the first three weeks of the season before the Titans. It’s the opposite. They didn’t turn into a pumpkin. The Titans turned them back into a carriage. Is that how the Is that how the metaphor would go? You know what I mean? like and then they play the Seahawks who just lost to the Buccaneers but put up 35 points. The Seahawks are an awesome team and then go from there. They play the Jags. I tried to tell you guys the Jags are a good team. They were just hidden by bad coaching. The Jags have a ton of talent. Titans are going to beat the Jags. Then they play the Browns December the 7th. All right, there’s an opportunity. The Browns just traded Joe Flacco to the Bengals. I think he’s the only quarterback that I would have been worried about whatsoever to take down the Titans just because he’s a professional quarterback. He knows what he’s doing. But then again, the Browns have a really good defense and a great player in Miles Garrett who could absolutely destroy the Titans. That’s at least a chance though. Then they play the 49ers. Oh, come on. No way. Then they play the Chiefs. Then they have the Saints and then they play the Jags again to finish the year. And maybe Jacksonville is tanking that game because they have the division wrapped up or something and they have a chance there. But I doubt it with how good the Colts are. So I’m looking at the Raiders game this week, the Saints game, and the Browns game. Those are the only chances that this football team has to win a game. They’re not going to get given a win like the Cardinals just gave them a win. That’s not going to happen again this year. So, I think right now, if I had to guess, I would say the Titans win three games once again. And if we get to the end of the year and the Titans have won three games, what reason for optimism in the is there? The whole point of this season, I predicted the Titans to win five games. I’m not here saying, “Oh, that’s not enough wins.” And but they needed to win more games than they won last year to show improvement. And I don’t believe that that’s going to happen because they beat the Cardinals in that fluke fashion. No way. And even more so, like I was saying, Brian Callahan is still a bozo. Brian Callahan is still the worst head coach in the entire NFL. His team won in spite of him on Sunday. He makes terrible in-game management decisions still. The team has not improved. A ton of players are playing significantly worse than they played last year. Like, you know, again, I don’t want to be a wet blanket. I don’t mean to rain on the parade, but that game is over now and we got to move forward. And I just I’m seeing a lot of optimism that this team might have turned the corner, flipped the switch, and I’m like, what did you guys see? What What are we talking about? An interception that got fumbled into the end zone for a touchdown. A guy dropping the ball at the one inch line. This team is terrible still, and they’re not going to win more games than they won last year, which is not the progress that we hope for. It’s going to be a failed season. Now, maybe I’m wrong. Maybe the Titans do turn it around. They flip the switch of some kind or whatever. But like I’m still thinking about who the next head coach is going to be because Cam looks lost. The receiving group still bad. The offensive line can improve, but the offensive line was playing pretty well and they were down 21 to6 in the fourth quarter. You know, like there are just so many issues with this team that still persist that I’m sorry it’s impossible for me to be like that game was fun. It was fun to win. It was exciting to talk about that football game and how things played out. And it was exciting yesterday to talk about what I think is real. But what I also think is real is that this team is still terrible and Brian Callahan is still a terrible head football coach. And I don’t think that those things are changing. And when you have so many players for the Titans that are playing way worse than the expectations, that’s going to make it even harder for the Titans to overcome and actually turn things around.

We talked about the reality check that I think a lot of people need to hear about this football team. This football team is still not good. The head coach is still absolutely awful. And that fluky win over the Cardinals doesn’t change my mind on what this team is looking like going forward. I think they only get three wins if that on the year. Like it’s two or three in my opinion, especially with a daunting schedule still coming up ahead. But part of the problem is that the roster is still not good. That’s the main impetus for me. The roster is still not good. The coach is still terrible. All right. And we talked about yesterday things that were real coming out of that game. Cam Ward being clutch at the end of games. Calvin Ridley getting things going. The offensive line playing well. Jeffrey Simmons at an allpro level. Sneeed playing well. Cedric Gray playing well. Jim DK as a Pro Bowl returner. All of that is real and that’s stuff to be excited about for sure. But also, you know what else is real? This wide receiver group is terrible. Calvin Ridley may round into form, but where’s Alec Io Manorbin? Dropping passes every week. Dropped a slant, dropped a a crossing route. He’s not ready to be what everyone wants him to be. He has potential. And like I said, when he was drafted, I don’t think that Elleio Manor is a number one wide receiver. I think he could be a good number two wide receiver. He could be a a solid roleplaying ex wide receiver. Not a superstar, not a game breaker, not a team changer. He’s not AJ Brown. That’s not the case. Now, just because he’s not that, in my opinion, doesn’t mean that he wasn’t still a steel as their third pick in the fourth round. He was absolutely a steel to become a certified starter at that ex wide receiver position. But he can’t elevate this group like AJ did his rookie year. Like that’s not who he is. You know, that’s the expectations are too high. If people think that Ell is going to be a number one superstar wide receiver, that’s just not who he’s going to be. And outside of that, Tyler Lockett looks terrible. Can’t separate. No speed. Dropping passes as well. 34 years old. What? Van Jefferson is useless. They won’t play Xavier Restrepo. There’s word Trayon Burks is cleared to play football again and he’s healthy according to the Titans team physician, but the Titans waved him with an injury designation. He passed through waiverss, so he’s back on the Titans injured reserve. And for the Titans to even get him back on the field, they’d have to do like an injury buyout and then sign him back. And that ain’t happening. And even if so, Tayen Burks is awful. They’re not going to let Restreo play. So, it’s like Jim DK is a a good returner, can be a gadget player in the offense, but he’s not ready to be a full-time wide receiver either. This wide receiver group is still awful. Now, a lot of good wide receivers coming up in the NFL draft. The Titans could use two or three of those again, but like that doesn’t help now. And let’s also be honest, the running back group is terrible. Tony Pard’s fumbled twice. Tony Pard is doing the best that he can. But I look around at some of these other running backs in the NFL and I’m like, Tony Pard’s like what, the 20th best starting running back in the NFL? You know, it’s not it’s not enough juice. It’s not good enough to make a difference. Taj Spears is unreliable. Even if he plays well, how long until he’s hurt again? Like, come on now. And then look at the offensive line. The offensive line’s playing better. I think they’re going to play even better when they get JC Laam back in there. Hopefully this week. But if they put Max Crosby on Dan Moore all game, Dan Moore is going to get panced. We know that he can’t deal with elite rushers. So, when you have a tackle who’s an easy target like that, your O line could be improved and do good, but in critical situations, when he goes against Josh Hines Allen, when he goes against Will Anderson Jr., when he goes against Denil Hunter, like we even saw him against Josh Sweat, couple of pretty bad reps in there. So, you know, again, I like it sucks to get on here and be like, “Hey guys, quit being so excited. This team’s terrible.” But we have to be honest about what this team is, too. Especially when I’m seeing people get so excited and start to kind of build themselves up. It’s like, take a deep breath here. And then look at defense. The Titans pass rush got their highest percentage of pressures percentage of pressure pressures. That’s a tough thing to say five times fast. But the Titans had their best pressure performance all season, but that ain’t real. The Titans pass rush is still terrible. Jiad Ward is their best pass rusher on the edge. Obviously, Jeffrey Simmons is their best pass rusher, but Jiad Ward Fei isn’t ready to be that guy. Ardan Key has been awful this year. Draymond Jones has not been good. So, it’s not like this pass rush group has turned the corner in some way. And let’s also be honest here. A lot of people say, “Oh, get tore sweat back.” Guys, I gotta tell you, whether you’re paying attention or not, the team is disappointed in TARDER Sweat. There’s a lot of talk and whispers out there. He’s not taking his rehab seriously. He’s heavier this year than he was last year. Despite what he says, the team is not satisfied with what he’s doing behind the scenes. Again, I can’t confirm that. I’m not telling you sources, blah blah blah. I just, you know, you hear somebody say this, you read somebody say this, and you put two and two together and connect the dots. So, it’s not like Devandre Sweat is going to show up and it’s going to make some big difference in the pass rush and then also continue going down the line. Cody Barton has been terrible. I was so excited for Cody Barton after the offseason that he had. He’s got all those picks in practice, great leadership, the miked up video. He looks terrible. He’s slow. He’s not violent. He’s not physical. He can’t get off blocks. He’s been terrible. Thank God for Cedric Gray. Ammani Hooker is playing the worst football I’ve ever seen him play. I mean, just every week getting roasted in coverage, missing tackles. He’s been terrible. Jaylen Armar Davis, I think, could be a solid role player, but a starting corner. We saw what happened. He can’t handle good wide receivers. They’re going to attack him. And the Titans were able to put Legious Sneed on Marvin Harrison Jr. And the only other options that the Cardinals have are, you know, Michael Wilson, who’s an okay NWI level player, but other teams are going to have way better options than that. Not the Raiders though, luckily. But I’m just saying like, and then Joey Sly has been awful. He missed an extra point. He missed four straight field goals at one point in time between the last couple of weeks. He has not been good. Now, Brian Callahan is a lot to blame for that. But that goes back to my original point. This is a terrible roster with a terrible coach. So, yes, they got a fluky win against the Cardinals. But guys, don’t let that get your hopes up that this team’s turning it around. I’m just trying to be honest with you that it ain’t happening. And I’ll remind you that last year when the Titans got a big momentous win that they had needed desperately against the Texans, they came back the next week and got beat by 40 against the Commanders. So, the Raiders are a bad football team, too. But I’m just saying I don’t have a lot of optimism that this team has turned things around or has hit a turning point or anything like that. But don’t want to be down and negative the whole episode. Let’s talk about some things to get excited about going forward to week six.

We talked about the reality check that I think a lot of people need to hear about where this team is, where this roster is, and how bad their head coach is. We talked about all of the different issues that still remain on the roster that lead me to my belief that this team is not going to win more games than they won last year. But I do want to finish with some optimism before I dive in. do want to thank you again for making Locked on Titans your first listen each and every day. Remember, Monday through Friday, Tennessee Titans content all year round, always for free. Make sure you get subscribed, stay subscribed. It’s your team every day. But reasons for optimism going forward, reasons to get excited. I feel very confident that JC Laam is going to be back out on the field this week. And my god, do the Titans need him. Last week, Max Crosby lined up on the left side of the defense, which would be going against the right tackle. Basically the whole game, he had a couple of snaps on the other side, but basically the whole game he lined up on the defensive left. Well, if Ali Udo is out there, that makes me nervous. But if JC Laam is out there, he might be able to withstand Max Crosby enough. You know what I mean? like he might be able to do the job enough to where Max Crosby doesn’t ruin the game for the Titans, which that’s a number one key to victory. Spoiler alert for you guys. Number one key to victory is stop Max Crosby. Do not let him absolutely wreck this game. Okay? They can’t allow that to happen. The Raiders don’t have anyone else that I’m truly worried about on defense. No one. The Raiders are not a good team. They’re not a good roster. I’m not that worried about it. But Max Crosby I am desperately worried about. So getting JC Laam back not only for this week as well. But for the future of the offensive line to let them play together. This offensive line in theory could be together next year as well. Kevin Zitler, I don’t know. But like to build the momentum necessary for the Titans to prove me wrong. They need their offensive line at full strength and full cohesion. So the first step to doing that is getting Laam back in the lineup. And I think that’s going to happen this week. And I think that’s something to be very excited about going forward because you take your worst offensive lineman on the offensive line and you plug in the be what could be the best offensive lineman on your offensive line and that’s always going to be good. So I love hearing that. Not only that, but more Gunner Helm. [Music] It’s insane to me again coaching coaching coaching. The coaches are morons, man. I’m like I don’t know how else to say this. Speaking of coaching morons, did you guys hear the story um shout out Buck Rising uh from 1045 the zone in Nashville, but he had Ben Jones on and Ben Jones was saying that in the second half of the Kansas City Chiefs game, the playoff game that they came back and won in 2017, in the second half, Ben Jones and Marcus Mariota were calling the plays, not Terry Robiski. This is why I tell you guys, yes, I’m not an NFL coach. Brian Callahan has forgot more about football than I will ever know, and I know that. But that doesn’t mean that these guys are always right or good at the job. It doesn’t mean that a guy like me who watches tape and pays attention to other offenses and other teams can’t look at what the Titans are doing and say, “What is going on out here? This is not right. This is not good.” Because you have stuff like that going on behind the scenes. Anyways, that was insane. But the point is, just because Nick Holes knows more about football than me and Bo Hardigree knows more about football than me and Brian Callahan knows more about football than me, doesn’t mean that they are right about everything. And playing Chica Conquo the vast amount of snaps more than they have played Gunner Helm is malpractice. And you know, maybe it’s my biases from before the season. And I have said all along Gunner Helm should be tight end one. Maybe Chica Conqu has more catches. Maybe Chica Conqu has more yards. I could I could be fine with that. That would make sense. But Gunner Helm should get more snaps and it has been a vast separation through the first five weeks of the season. Now, the reason this is in the optimism category of the show, Nick Holt said at his press conference on Tuesday that Gunner Helm has earned more opportunities. And it’s like, well, duh, he runs good routes. He’s surehanded. Uh, duh. Couldn’t you see that on his college tape? Isn’t that why you drafted him? And not only that, but Chicka Conquo has been a disaster as a blocker. And Gunner Helm is no George KD by any means or Jeff Swain or something like that, but he’s 6’5, 250 lb. He’s 3 in taller and 30 lbs heavier. He’s just bigger, so he’s going to be able to block more effectively just from that alone. So, you have a guy who’s more sure-handed, a better route runner, and a better blocker, and he’s not playing more because like it just makes no sense whatsoever. The only thing the only thing that Chika Conquo does better than Gunner Helm is yards after catch. That’s it. Literally the only thing Gunner Helm’s better at everything else right now immediately. Chick is a terrible route runner. He has never been a good route runner ever and he can’t block and he’s small. It’s not rocket science. I I just don’t understand. You know, I don’t get it. So hopefully with Nick Hol saying that he’s telling the truth and the Titans actually let Gunner Helm get more snaps. It It’s elementary, Watson. I I I don’t understand why things can’t be simple for a bad football team. Just play your younger player who’s better at more things than the other guy who’s the veteran. I mean, groundbreaking analysis, I know, but whatever. Uh, the final thing is I want to see more Kevin Winston. Kevin Winston’s back on the football field. I posted a funny video of him hitting a bunch of people on special teams, which I think I mentioned yesterday, but uh Dinard or Bones Fossil said or it could have been Dinard Wilson. I forget now exactly, but they congratulated as a team Kevin Winston in their film review that he’s back out on the football field less than 12 months removed from an ACL tear and he’s hitting people. And I think it was Dinard Wilson who said that because Dinard Wilson said that, you know, they plan to give him more opportunities on defense. And look, with Ammani Hooker playing terrible, Xavier Woods played all right the first couple of weeks but has tailed off here. Quandre Diggs is super limited at his age. having a guy like Kevin Winston out there who has speed and range and as a great tackler and has physicality and size. Like again, we’re to a point here. The Titans are one and four and why not play your younger players? Why can’t Xavier Resto get a chance when Tyler Lockett’s corpse is out there doing nothing? Why can’t Gunner Helm play more than Chick? Why can’t Kevin Winston get some opportunities? Like, why not? You know, why not? So, hopefully this inspires some optimism, some excitement. But let’s get JC Laam back out there. Let’s see more Gunner, and let’s see some more Kevin Winston. That sounds exciting to me. But that’s going to do it for me today, folks. As always, I am your host, Tyler Roland, and this was Locked on Titans. Heat. Heat. [Music]

The Tennessee Titans got a big win in Week 5 over the Arizona Cardinals, but the reality is the Titans are still not a good football team and Brian Callahan is still not the coach of the future. While the win was fun, fans need to make sure they keep their expectations in a reasonable place about what this team will do going forward. This include certain player expectations as well like Cam Ward and the pass rush. With key players like Elic Ayomanor, Amani Hooker and Cody Barton doing so little, it is impossible for the Titans to gain too much momentum. Finally, the Titans can have some hope in the potential return of JC Latham, along with seeing more out of Gunnar Helm and Kevin Winston.
