(WSMV) &#8211; The Tennessee Titans\u2019 10-day road trip has had plenty of teachable moments so far.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Tuesday\u2019s first joint practice in Atlanta with the Falcons fell right in line with that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cWe keep saying we\u2019re starting slow. We started slow in Tampa. We started slow in Atlanta,\u201d said defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cIt\u2019s time to start fast.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">It\u2019s one thing to say it. It\u2019s another to do it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">And the Titans have yet to set the tone from the beginning on any leg of their current trip.<\/p>\n<p>The Tennessee Titans\u2019 10-day road trip has had plenty of teachable moments so far.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" alt=\"WSMV - template image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1755055031_664_PYQCNXWUIVE27BALA565ZY2LFQ.png\" width=\"980\" height=\"199\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsmv.com\/page\/our-apps\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.wsmv.com\/page\/our-apps\/\">Here are instructions on how to watch WSMV4 live on various platforms.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cIt\u2019s a mindset thing,\u201d said cornerback Jarvis Brownlee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cIt\u2019s how you approach the day. It all starts with how you wake up in the morning. We\u2019ve just got to be more productive and bring more energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">We\u2019ve heard the term \u201csense of urgency\u201d plenty from the Titans throughout camp. But, there seems to be a disconnect from the idea to the execution. At least on this road trip.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cIt\u2019s football. Football is not perfect,\u201d said receiver Calvin Ridley, who was a bright spot for the Titans practicing against his former team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cEverybody wants the game to be perfect. The media makes the game seem like we\u2019ve got to be perfect. Everyone wants us to catch every pass. It\u2019s not going to always be good. Everyone\u2019s not going to always feel good. We\u2019ve been on the road, you guys know that. We\u2019re going to look at it. This is good for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The players maintain their struggles are a positive thing because it gives them something to work towards improving.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">We\u2019ll see if they can put that theory to work on Wednesday, when they practice for the second time against a Falcons team that seemed to be doing most of the teaching on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2025 WSMV.
