Tennessee Titans MUST PROTECT Cam Ward, L’Jarius Sneed Must Play More & Brian Callahan Bounce Back
Cam Ward’s protection against the Denver Broncos might have been as disappointing as the coaching for the Titans. And that’s why the offensive line is my biggest question mark heading into week two. I’ll break it down on today’s edition of Locked on Titans. You are Locked on Titans, your daily Tennessee Titans podcast, part of the Locked on Podcast Network. your team every day.

And number one on my list is not the coaching staff, but the Titans offensive line that was a massive disappointment in week one. Also, can the Tennessee Titans defense continue to play the way they did against the Denver Broncos? And yes, we do have to address the coaching, but I’ll tell you why Brian Callahan has a big time chance here to bounce back.

So, make sure that you stay locked in with the Locked On Titans podcast, your team every day. With that being said, as the data continues to come out from the entire week one around the NFL, I think one of the things that stands out to me the most is the performance of the Tennessee Titans offensive line. It was incredibly disappointing out there, especially after the entire off season. We had hoped we had hoped that the Tennessee Titans offensive line would be massively improved and I felt pretty confident that the Titans offensive line would be super improved. But you come out of that game and you start to look around at some of the data here and it’s incredibly disappointing from the offensive line and it’s just another example of why you absolutely cannot blame Cam Ward for what happened to the Titans. Cam Ward handled his business in this game and everything else around him really let him down. And again, it’s one thing to say that and it’s one thing for me to watch the film and be able to tell you, man, the offensive line was super disappointing. But if you don’t want to believe my opinion, if you don’t want to believe what I saw on tape, then simply look at the numbers going around the NFL right now. You go to Pro Football Focus and the Tennessee Titans had the second lowest, the second lowest, 31st in the NFL in pass block grade at 33.9. Think about that. Think about that. It’s absolutely terrible. You want to go to ESPN’s metrics, you say, “Oh, Pro Football Focus, blah blah blah. Screw PFF. Some of you guys feel like that. I don’t feel like that. Everything is a good piece of data. Nothing is gospel. But you want to go by pass block win rate from ESPN. The Tennessee Titans had a pass block win rate of 52%. That’s 26th in the NFL. Whereas the Minnesota Vikings were number one in the NFL at 88%. Like it’s bad, folks. It was bad for the Tennessee Titans in this game and it’s incredibly disappointing again because the expectation coming into the season is that the Tennessee Titans offensive line would be improved. We talked about how they have to be. You have two first round picks, you have three free agent veteran contracts. And the reality is outside of Peter Scranssky, nobody played all that well. Skansky was incredible. He had an 88 pass block grade per pro football focus. gave up zero pressures, gave up zero sacks, and 34 drop backs, 36 snaps. To be honest with you, if you want to count that, if you want to go just based on regular pass plays, pure drop backs, true pass set, as PFF would call it, Scorsky had 15 snaps and 100% pass block win rate. Didn’t lose a single rep in pass blocking. But after that, JC Laam 41.3 in pass blocking, gave up two pressures in a sack and then got hurt. And we’ll talk about Laam more in a second. Lloyd Cushenberry gave up two pressures, 37.8 pass block grade. Dan Moore, 26.4 4 pass block grade, gave up four pressures on the day and got eaten alive and is lucky that he didn’t give up a sack in the end zone and a holding in the end zone that almost was a safety for the Titans. I thought they were about to throw the flag there at the end of the first half. So, just an utter disappointment from the Tennessee Titans offensive line. And look, we do got to consider the reality here that the Denver Broncos led the NFL in sacks last year. They have an absolutely fantastic offensive or defensive line with Nick Bonito and Jonathan Cooper and u Zack Allen. Like they have a very good defensive front. So, you know, maybe the offensive line isn’t as bad as it seemed. But here’s why the offensive line is my biggest question because they’re about to go against the Los Angeles Rams defensive line. The Rams defensive line is pretty freaking good. I mean, they have Jared Verse, who I think might be one of the best defensive players in the entire NFL. They have Braden Fisk on the interior as well in his second year, playing very well. You look at the pass rush grades on Pro Football Focus. The Los Angeles Rams were second in the NFL in pass rush grade at 76.1. Like, this is a team that’s going to get on you. Okay, Byron Young at edge, very good player as well. Kobe Turner, Puna Ford, like this is an absolutely loaded defensive front. And a familiar face, former Titan legend Lurel Merchesen also on that defensive line. Now, I’m not quite as worried about him as I am others, but you know, the the point is just because you say, “Oh, the Titans offensive line had to go against the Broncos defensive front. that’s the well the Rams might have one of the other top five defensive fronts in the NFL. It’s not slowing down. And that’s why I thought it was always silly when people said, “Well, Dan Moore had to play in the uh AFC North.” Every single week in the NFL, you are going to face highlevel pass rushers, especially when you play for the Titans, so you don’t have to play the Titans who don’t have any good pass rushers. You know what I mean? like it’s not going to get easier. Okay. And now a major concern is JC Laam’s injury. His hip injury has lingered throughout the end of the preseason process. He looked really banged up after he hurt his hip. And once Ali Udo came in, folks, things got scary really, really quickly for the Tennessee Titans. Once Aliudo came into the game, he had an 18.5 pass block grade and gave up two pressures and a sack and a quarterback hit and he played 11 snaps. Okay, so I know we all wanted to hope that the Titans offensive line was better, but they didn’t show it in week one. And I’m worried that if the Titans offensive line doesn’t perform better and JC Laam isn’t out there, how are they going to protect Cam Ward? Some crazy stuff coming out about Cam Ward. Cam Ward was the third best quarterback in the NFL and on target ontarget percentage of his throws. 87% of his throws were on target according to I think it’s NGS stats, NextGen stats. Cam Ward. If you go look at Cam Ward’s time in the pocket, how much time he had in the pocket versus his average depth of throw, like him attacking downfield, Cam Ward was right in there with like Jaden Daniels, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes. Incredible company to be in. Cam Ward had the most pressures in the NFL in under two seconds. Cam Ward was pressured the second most in the NFL 52% of the time. And I think after the Monday night game, it might be last in the NFL. So, we could talk about the coaching and I know every we’ve been focused on the coaching. We’ve been talking about Brian Callahan, but if we’re honest with ourselves, the offensive line play might have been just as disappointing as the coaching because the offensive line had higher expectations than I had for Brian Callahan. I expected the offensive line to take a big step forward. I didn’t necessarily expect Callahan to do so. So, looking at that, again, my biggest question, and let me know your biggest question for the Titans heading into their week 2 matchup against the Rams, but my biggest question is, can this offensive line be what the Titans paid for and protect Cam Ward and allow him to be the special player that he showed us that he could be on Sunday? That’s what I’m worried about. But hey, on the defensive side of the ball, I have a big-time question about what Legarius Sneed is going to be able to do in week two and whether the Titans defense can keep things rolling.

[Music] Titans fans, let’s continue today’s edition of the Locked on Titans podcast, going over my biggest questions for the Tennessee Titans. Heading into week two of the regular season, we talked about the offensive line, the concerns there, JC Laam’s injury, a bad matchup with the Los Angeles Rams defensive line, but now I want to move it to the defensive side of the ball. And look, the defense was able to force three turnovers. The defense was able to do some really good things against the Denver Broncos when the offense was giving them absolutely nothing. But I don’t think that we can expect the defense to force three turnovers every single week. And quite frankly, we can’t expect Matthew Stafford, who might have had the best game of any quarterback in the NFL this weekend. We can’t expect Matthew Stafford to be as bad as Bo Knicks was in that game. So, the question is for me, can the Tennessee Titans defense once again be spectacular? And I think there are two players that we really have to focus on to answer the question of whether that’s possible. Okay. Now, before I tell you who I’m looking at, do want to thank you again for making Locked on Titans your first listen each and every day. Tomorrow, we’ll have crossover Thursday uh with my guys from Locked on Rams. Friday, I’ll have my preview episode telling you exactly how the Tennessee Titans can win this game. And spoiler alert, I actually feel a little confident in the Tennessee Titans this week. It’s a scary feeling to feel. But with that being said, again, number one, Legious Sneeed. So last week, Legarius played 20 snaps essentially in the game. Uh I think 16 pass snaps overall for Legarius. And Dinard Wilson and Brian Callahan talked about this and I didn’t think that their answer was bad. They said Legarius played 21 snaps in the game because they’re trying to ease him back in. He had a pitch count. And like I said yesterday, the I’m not mad about Legarius having a pitch count. Sometimes you got to protect players from themselves and you got to make sure that you’re not letting them push themselves too hard because the players are always going to want to play. But Legius Sneed has to play more. Okay. And the thing is, I had someone ask me, I know Sneeed didn’t play a lot, but how did he play? And the reality is Legareria Ste actually played pretty solid. I mean he had an 83.3 coverage grade on the day. He gave up zero catches for zero yards. Like Legerius Snee was actually good. He got involved in run defense. I thought he was a solid tackler. He had one tackle in particular where I thought he was really physical. He ended up with three tackles on the day when Sneed was out there. He looked good. And look, against this Los Angeles Rams team, when you have Puka Nakua and you have Devonte Adams, like the Titans can’t afford to have Daryl Baker out there a ton instead of Legarius Sneed. I know that they’re trying to work him in and they don’t want to overwork him too early, but at some point, this is the exact kind of matchup that Legius Sneed got paid to dominate in. The reason the Titans paid Learius Sneed, the reason that the Titans traded a third round pick for Legarius Sneed is because they needed him for matchups like this against highlevel players and highlevel wide receiver groups. And here’s the thing, if the Titans stand a chance of slowing down the Los Angeles Rams passing game, it’s going to be because Legerius Sneed eliminates one of those players. Now, we see this philosophy quite often in the NFL. I think uh we saw it with the Dallas Cowboys, the Philadelphia Eagles. What the Eagles did was they took their number one cornerback, Quinan Mitchell, and they put him on George Pickkins, and they said, “We’re going to have our number one quarterback shut down your number two wide receiver, and then everybody else on defense is responsible for CD Lamb.” Now, that plan didn’t work. Uh, well, I guess you could say the Eagles won the game, but CD Lamb was open. and he had seven catches for 110 yards and dropped three passes that would have all been huge. I mean, CD Lamb should have had like a like 15 catches for 170 yards if he simply catches the football. So, you could say like, “Hey, that didn’t work for them. Why would we do that?” But that’s a classic Bill Bich move, too. Bellich used to do that all the time. He’d take his top corner like a Malcolm Butler, for example, and he’d say, “You’re guarding the number one wide receiver, and we’re going to shade the coverage and roll the coverage to the other guy and have multiple people on him.” I think the Titans should do something similar. I think Legerius Sneed should play one-on-one with Devonte Adams and then you should let the rest of the defense deal with Puka Nakua. Have Jarvis Brownley Jr. jam Puka Nakua at the line of scrimmage. Have Xavier Woods, Ammani Hooker, Quandre Diggs behind him. Have Roger McCreary in a zone waiting for him to cut across the middle. I think the Titans need to employ that and they need Legarius needed to play in this entire game or at minimum he has to play more or at minimum the Titans have to do a better job of how they deploy Legarious Sneeed on the snaps that he’s going to be able to play because he played 21 snaps last week and I could swear to you that all of them came in the first half and then he never played again. Like that’s not the answer. I want to see him play the first drive of the game. I want to see him play right before halftime. I want to see him play on the opening drive after halftime. I want to see him play on the last couple of drives of the game. If you know, it’s like it reminds me of pee-wee basketball. Growing up, there was rules. Every player had to play two quarters, at least three minutes of two quarters. Well, you’re not going to play your best player in the three first quarters of the game and then be stuck having to play your scrubs in the fourth quarter. That’s not the way to do it. You play your scrubs at the very beginning of the second quarter and at the very end of the third quarter so that your best players can finish both halves. That’s not a groundbreaking idea. You know what I mean? So, Legius needed is the number one question on the defense. How much is he going to be able to play? Are the Titans going to start to ramp him up even more? Because in this matchup with these two wide receivers, they absolutely must. And then Jeffrey Simmons. Jeffrey Simmons is going to be the number one player that I’m watching for in this game. And you know why? Because the Rams have some massive injuries on the offensive line. Both both of their interior offensive linemen are banged up. Both of them, including Steve AA, I think it’s uh Kevin Dodson as well. They both have ankle injuries. I believe it is lower body injuries nonetheless. And they’re week to week, not even dayto day. Yeah, Kevin Dodson is the other guy. Okay. Sometimes my brain is like, is that right? And then I freak out about it. But I know this stuff, okay? I know. But anyway, do you guys remember when Jeffrey Simmons had that three sack performance against the Rams in 2021? Kevin Bard had the interception. It was one of my favorite Tennessee Titans games of all time. I said, “Sit everybody. They’re not going to win.” And everyone got mad at me, but I’ll never forget it. But in that game, I remember Jeffrey Simmons getting that sack, rubbing his belly, and going one, two, three. He dominated that game. outright dominated. That’s what the Titans need from Big Jeff this week. If the Rams are missing one or both of those interior offensive linemen, they have to take advantage. They have to. I mean, Bo Liur is in there right now. Coleman Shelton, who the Titans played against last year, I think he was with the Bears. We know that he’s not a great player. The Titans have to take advantage of the interior offensive line. So, can this Tennessee Titans defense do that? Will Legius Sneed play more in a big matchup? Will Jeffrey Simmons be able to continue his highlevel play from week one? That’s my second question for the Titans heading into week two. But now, my final question is, can Brian Callahan bounce back? And I got to tell you guys, my answer is sure, he can. Do want to let you guys know that today’s episode is brought to you by Mazda. Mazda crafts cars for those who do more than simply move. Mazda delivers confidence with every ride. They have more IIHS Top Safety Pick awards than anyone else as of August 2025. You could feel the Japanese craftsmanship in every detail. From the metallic accents to the available Napa leather upholstery, you can make every drive feel like anything but an everyday drive. From smooth handling to intuitive controls, you get it all with Mazda. I love Mazda. I got a Mazda in the garage right now. Really enjoy driving it. I agree. The interior, the feel of everything, it’s a it’s a fantastic experience. And like the Titans players, Mazda sweats every detail because when you make every move count, impossible becomes irrelevant. It’s Mazda. Move and be moved. [Music] Titans fans, let’s cap off today’s edition of the Locked on Titans podcast talking about my biggest questions for the Titans heading into week two against the Los Angeles Rams. We talked about the Titans inability to protect Cam Ward and how that went down and why the offensive line is maybe just as big of a question as anything else for the Titans. We talked about two specific players on defense who I think have to have a good game and whether or not they’ll deliver. But now I do want to talk about Brian Callahan. All right. And I just want to say this. Brian Callahan can bounce back. I know that it seems insane. I know that it seems insane to say that, but Brian Callahan can absolutely bounce back. Let me just say this. I I I like to play this game. Close your eyes. Just close your eyes for a moment. Walk with me. As the kids say, if the Titans go out and beat the Rams, let’s say the Titans win 23 to 17 or 23 to 20 over the Rams. Cam looks good. defense is making plays. They win the ball game. The pressure on Brian Callahan drops insanely. It jumps off the mountain. At the end of the day, I have said all off season. Callahan’s the biggest question mark. We don’t know that he’s an NFL head coach. And then when he comes out in week one and delivers the coaching performance that he did, it basically confirms all of that concern, right? But the reality is winning cures all. I said this on the Tennessee Titans squad show on Tuesday morning with the legend Brad Hopkins and my guy Julian Missone, but winning cures everything. The Titans play the Colts in week three. They play the Texans in week four. I feel more confident right now that the Titans can win those games, especially the Texans one, than I did before the season. I thought the Titans would beat the Colts in that game. I thought they lose to the Texans. I still think the Titans beat the Colts. I’m sorry. You guys can buy it if you want. I do not buy the Indianapolis Colts being good. The Dolphins just suck. They’re a soulless, rudderless, lifeless team. All right. And Mike McDaniel is an endangered species. Okay. He’s going to be the first head coach fired if he uh if Brian Callahan doesn’t do anything else crazy. Like, I’m still betting on Mike McDaniel to be the first head coach fired in the NFL this season. Brian Callahan has the second best odds, though. Uh, but my point is if the Titans beat the Rams at home, which again I have a little confidence they might be able to do it and then they go to Indianapolis and win and then they take on the Houston Texans. Well, the Indie game is at home at first, but they go to Indie and win. Then they beat the Texans, who the Texans scored nine points. Yeah, the Texans defense is incredible, but like we said all off all season, and I know all most of you guys agree, the Texans have the worst offensive line in the NFL, maybe. And I don’t trust their new offensive coordinator, Nick Haley, either. I think the Texans got worse over the offseason. I didn’t pick them to win the division. I picked the Jags to win the division. I don’t think the Texans are as good as people have thought they’ve been the last couple of years. They’re due for a regression here. So, just I know it’s hard right now, but if the Titans go through the first month of the season and they leave three and one with a win over the Rams and two division wins, the Callahan hot seat talk vanishes overnight. So, I just want to say I was at and what’s frustrating to me is and it’s not most of you guys. So, I don’t mean to insult the people who listen to my stuff, you know what I mean? Because the people who are saying these dumb things to me probably don’t even listen to my stuff. They’re they could be trolling for all I know. But I’ve seen people say stuff like, you know, Brian Callahan has to be fired right now and blah blah. And that’s just it’s just not going to happen. Brian Callahan isn’t going to get fired after one game. He’s going to be given an opportunity to show that he can bounce back from his own mistakes. We want players to bounce back. Brian Callahan is going to be given an opportunity to bounce back and show, hey, that was a terrible performance. I messed up, but I am competent. I am ready to go and I can be the future of this football team at the head coaching spot. Whether he does bounce back or not is the big question. But let’s not pretend like Brian Callahan is is cooked already. And also frustrating to me is that when I say that, I say Brian Callahan should not give up play call-in duties. We don’t know that Nick Holes or Bohard agree are any better than Brian Callahan. And if Brian Callahan doesn’t call plays, then why is he the head coach in the first place? He’s not a good leader. He doesn’t have anything to do with the defense. He doesn’t have anything to do with the special teams. That’s why he hired Bones Fossil and why he hired Dinard Wilson so that they could just handle that for him. So what’s he doing? Just sitting there twiddling his thumbs on the sideline while Nick Holes calls plays. And let me say this, Brian Callahan isn’t the only person involved in deciding what plays get called. Like it’s a group effort on offense with Bill Callahan, his dad who’s the run game coordinator, with Nick Holes who is the offensive coordinator, with Bo Hardigree who is the quarterback coach, with Mike McCoy who is a senior offensive assistant. They all sit down and talk about which plays would be good to run. So, it’s not like if you change play callers to Nick Holes or Mike McCoy or Bo Hardigree or whatever that all of a sudden the Titans are going to run totally different plays and sequence things totally different and the opening script is going to be totally different. All of those dudes that you want to call plays, they’re involved, too. So, I hate hearing that. It’s annoying to me quite honestly because it doesn’t make a lot of sense. But also, when I said that, I had people in my comments saying, “Oh, so you’re backtracking already.” Brian Callahan sucked against the Denver Broncos. He blew it. He lost the game. It’s almost 100% his fault. That is a separate statement entirely from I still don’t think Brian Callahan should give up play calling duties. Brian Callahan lost the Titans the game is a totally different sentence and thought than Brian Callahan should give up play calling. At no point in time during my criticism of Brian Callahan coming out of that game did I say I think he should give up play calling duties. No, he just needs to be better at that. He just needs to be better. That’s what he needs to do. If you’re going to strip play calling duties from him and emasculate him to the entire team and coaching staff, just fire him then. And if you’re in the comment section right now saying, “Sure then, Tyler, fire him then.” Okay, I at least respect that. I at least respect that. But the idea to strip play calling duties from him, like that’s going to make him a better head coach or more valuable to the Titans, it’s just asinine. You know, it’s not like Brian Callahan would have challenged that or Brian Callahan wouldn’t have wanted to be aggressive. Nick Holes even said they wanted to get aggressive on the goal line. So again, it’s not like what we saw that annoyed us with the coaching on Sunday will change just that because Nick Holes is calling plays instead of Brian Callahan. And just because I was critical of Brian Callahan, rightfully so, against the Broncos doesn’t mean that I think that he should be fired right now. and that they should take play calling duties away from him. No, they should give Brian Callahan to the Patriots game. They should give Brian Callahan to the by-week and see if he’s able to bounce back. Will he? This is a tough matchup, but I don’t think it’s insane to think that the Titans could pull off an upset here against the Rams. As a matter of fact, I might be leaning there. So, my three biggest questions by far for this team heading into week two as we start to get ready and preview this Rams game over the next few days. Will the offensive line correct themselves quickly against another tough test? Will the Titans two best defensive players, Jeffrey Simmons and Legious Sneeed, keep their level of play? And will Sneed play more? And can Brian Callahan bounce back and not hurt his football team the way that he did? And I think it’s hilarious how the national media has caught on to Brian Callahan. He is under so much pressure to deliver over the next couple of weeks. You got the number one overall pick. You got what you wanted. My guy Julian Misnone said this. You got what you wanted in your number one pick, but now the attention’s all going to be on you, Callahan. So, what are your biggest questions for the Titans heading into week two against the Rams? That’s going to do it for me today, folks. As always, I am your host, Tyler Roland, and this was Locked on Titans. [Music]
The Tennessee Titans dropped their first game of the year against the Denver Broncos and while Brian Callahan got all of the attention, the “improved” offensive line did not show the progress that fans were hoping for. While you could say it was against a great defensive line, the Titans face another in the Los Angeles Rams this week and JC Latham’s status is the biggest question of the week. The Titans defense did show up on Sunday, but to beat the Rams, they will need more snaps from L’Jarius Sneed and more domination from Jeffery Simmons. Finally, Brian Callahan had an awful game and the entire world is talking about it, but Callahan ain’t dead yet and he needs a bounce back performance against a Super Bowl winning head coach in Sean McVay.
Tennessee Titans MUST PROTECT Cam Ward, L’Jarius Sneed Must Play More & Brian Callahan Bounce Back

We finally have a good looking quarterback and the coach is an imbecile 🤦🏽♂️ To not know the rules is crazy! The offensive play calling was 05 Madden style. No strategy at all. I want Jon Gruden
This just makes it even more obvious that the NFL schedule makers hate us
Coaches around the league are laughing at Callahan. He’s a joke! A bad one at that 🤷🏾♂️
We are screwed. 1st game and Latham is injured!!!??? The guy who came in as a replacement is useless. I don't even care to learn his name. He was awful and shouldn't get a second shot in any capacity. We are simply screwed with an overpaid left who played horribly last year and we have zero depth. We are getting the firat overall pick next year. Congratulations Titans.
Was there people actually blaming Cam?
Titanup!! Tyler killing it as usual!!
That LA rams game is was in attendance for … was the best atmosphere ive been in in my life ..
If we wouldve beat the broncos the same people would want callahan fired they already made their decision last yr🤣
What does the oline and costly incapable coaching have in common? Both are Clownahan products. Clownahans are overhyped and over rated. Bill was good in the 80s and Brian is only where he is because of his 👨. Let's clean house and move on!!!
You should hear Jared it’s over for cally in his mind it’s like damn why be a fan with all the doom and gloom
A to Z Nashville morning show is basically defending Callahan
Tyler… Brian Suck at OC and HC… It's just a matter of time before he's gone…The Titans can't Run or pass when the Titans are 3-20 … Same as Ken Whisenhunt ….it time to cut loose
1-9 incoming.
Is this the same Tyler that was about to have a stroke yesterday? Who paid you off Tyler? So disappointed in this video.
Rams offence will be a much more difficult task.
nuca and adams will be tough ! If Callahan calls a game like week 1, titans lose by 14+.
Hate to see us go 500 next few weeks and keep cally
Great episode Tyler
I know it, you know it, the whole nfl knows it at this point.The titans screwed up big time keeping Callahan.The guy cannot coach.Hes completely lost out there. Im not even sure he’s a good OC.Honestly think he just got carried by Burrow.Its week 1 and the season is already a wash.That sucks to admit.
Listen man, if Callahan bounces this team back and goes on a surge run, he will never be able to do no wrong, this team needs to understand their fan base, we just need one more stretch and we will get the fanbase locked in, the Titans need to TITAN UP! Coaches can't control players make noob mistakes, but at the same time those playcalls, and that lack of throwing the challenge flag basically made Callahan look like a major scrub coach, especially how he had NO IDEA about the rules, and then backtracked and said he knew the rules, he basically showed he has a lack of "KEEPING IT REAL" aka accountability. Be real with yourself Callahan and stop bsing, don't lie on Camera again and try to make yourself look not as bad, you look bad already. OWN IT. Last chance and i'm cutting this dude off. Also, Shoutout to Cam Ward, if they didn't get that penalty at the beginning of the game, we would have scored a touchdown. Players have to step up too.
I almost can’t believe our Oline struggled this much ! Im almost
starting to believe it might be the coaching ! Which is crazy …. Because I believe in Bill . Skoronski , Cush and Latham and Zeitler
Hard to believe those 4 aren’t excelling more
Moore is an absolute bust and Worst signing in nfl FA , my Steelers friend warned me lol
i know he can only do so much but isnt bill susposed to be a top oline coach? just crazy how bad our line has been
I have been very critical of Brian Callahan… but I do want to see his offensive players come out this week and play with their heads on fire for their coach. At the end of the day we may not like it but Cally is leading these guys right now. As a fan of the team I want to see them succeed and tht includes Cally! There is only 32 spots open in the world to be an NFL head coach… none of us in these comments would do any better than Brian has. Let’s at least get behind him and support his as best we can…. Also would like to take some time and say if all these fans in the chats where actually at the home games supporting the team tht would make a difference as well. I have said for years the fans need to do a better job supporting this team on game day. TITAN UP!!
Titan up Tyler! Go Titans 🩵💙
Watching the Vikings coaching materclass on Monday night really displays how far behind we are as a coaching staff
Sneed just didn’t want to play with that bum 🍑 team last year. Dude is fine
I think the most critical thing is that this was the first time the whole O line played together. It's going to suck now that maybe Latham might be out.
This water under the bridge but Joe alt is so good 😢
I have a gut feeling the Titans will still win 10 games. Callahan will finally wake up after all the pressure. He'll figure it out that it's been his inflated EGO that's been the problem, and quit being so friggin conservative and let Cam Ward do his thing EARLY. The Colts have always scared me in this division because they are sneaky good.
TiTan uP!.
How is anyone surprised. The roster is garbage
It boggles my mind that NO ONE is talking about how bad Jarvis Brownlee Jr was. The guy was a walking penalty and there were a few more that could have been called but thankfully weren't. Puca is going to cook that dude.
Everydayer
Tyler, I have to circle back to the elbow thing. If Brian Callahan didn't know the rule, there is NO WAY Bill Callahan didn't know it too…. right?!
Can’t regress from the 1st game.. I think we will be fine against the Rams if we stop big plays in the run game!
also note Rams 2 guards are hurt and Titans Dline will eat
Callahan needs to continue to keep at least one vertical in passing plays before we run screens.. let the defenders turn cause they playing everything in front of them expecting pressure gets there
Dolphins are on their 42nd string cornerback lol
You see Key lost his spot to Oluwafemi Oladejo
Cam ward and t hill scary
If the defense punn8ng their ears back draws and screens work really well
Rams 23 Titans 17
100 percent true the offensive line has to be way better
My take away from this:
Bill Callahan is a major part of this offenses struggles.
My question:
Why hasn’t the o-line gotten better? Did he sign off on every signing? Tough test with the Broncos, but we didn’t even show moderate improvement!
Cohesion doesn’t happen over night. Backing away from the panic button… for now.
Pete sko doesn’t get enough praise. Definitely my favorite offensive player on this team (other than cam)
Coaching was horrible, receivers were bad, Offensive line and they had more penalties than offense. Horrible and embarrassing team.
