During Super Bowl week, it is impossible to tell who people will run into during the festivities, and what type of conversations will break out. Not only will there be banter between players, analysts, and insiders fighting to break stories, but there will also be the buzz sparked by the game itself.
This year, because of the Tennessee Titans‘ connection to the New England Patriots’ head coach, Mike Vrabel, and some of their players, the Titans have come up in a lot of questions. But it’s not all about Vrabel and former players, with new head coach Robert Saleh and quarterback Cam Ward popping up in conversations.
The guys from the Sick Podcast caught up with analyst Brian Baldinger to talk about Ward and what he sees in the Titans’ young quarterback.
“I saw Cam this year at a game, did a game out there at Allegiant Stadium. I was at his pro day this year and got to know him. We need great young quarterbacks in this league, and I think Cam has a chance to be great.” Baldinger said,” I feel like he’s got a chance to be pretty special. He’s got moxie, he’s got toughness. I think he understands the game, and I think he wants to be great.”
Baldinger continued by breaking down the fit with new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll and how he will impact Ward and the Titans’ offense heading into the season, and again, he believes it will only help Ward and the offense take a step forward in 2026.
