    Titans played their best game in Week 3 (and still couldn't score) (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Tennessee Titans earned their best overall PFF grade of the season Sunday. They also scored a season-low seven points and fell to 0-3 after a 12-7 loss to the New York Giants. Those two facts do not seem like they should belong in the same game. But unfortunately, they do. According to PFF, the Titans improved from a 54.6 overall grade in Week 1 to 62.4 in Week 2 and 64.5 against the Giants. The biggest change came on defense, which climbed from 51.1 to 60.8 and then 74.4. The offense did ve

    Why the Titans defense is crippling Cam Ward and the offense (opens the original)

    The Tennessee Titans have an offensive problem that shows up before you ever get to passing yards, red-zone numbers or penalties. They are averaging only 22:24 in time of possession through two games, last in the NFL. The Titans keep giving the ball back too quickly. The defense struggles to get off the field. That has made it nearly impossible for the offense to find any rhythm. Against the New York Jets, the Titans possessed the ball for only 21:14 and finished with 195 yards. Seven of their n

    Titans' Week 2 run-game shift could spark a more dangerous offense (opens the original)

    The Tennessee Titans lost 24-20 to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2, but they answered the biggest offensive question left by the New York Jets loss: would Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears get enough chances to matter? They did, and it changed the way the offense looked. Against the Jets, Pollard and Spears combined for 10 carries and 47 yards. The Titans had only 14 team rushing attempts for 68 yards. That was not enough opportunity to establish a running game or keep the offense balanced. Week 2

    Calvin Ridley’s zero-target opener exposes muted role in Titans offense (opens the original)

    The Tennessee Titans opened the season with a 23-10 loss to the New York Jets and produced only 195 total yards of total offense. Their only touchdown came with 2:42 remaining, long after the game had been decided. Cam Ward finished 19-of-32 for 140 yards and one touchdown. He avoided an interception, but his 52.8 PFF passing grade matched how limited the offense looked. One playmaker Ward and Brian Daboll never get involved on offense was veteran wide receiver Calvin Ridley. According to PFF, R

    These 4 Titans veterans could be playing for their futures (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Tennessee Titans currently project to have roughly $11.74 million in 2027 cap space. That doesn't look like much for a team still trying to improve its rebuilding roster. But several veteran contracts give general manager Mike Borgonzi room to make changes. Four potential pre-June 1 releases could create roughly $46.02 million in additional savings, already accounting for the dead money Tennessee would carry. That doesn't mean all four should go. It means their play this season could have a
