Did the Titans actually find a pass rush?
2026/10/28
The Titans first half offensive stats are atrocious and worth studying moving forward. Cam Ward's lack of ability to throw over the middle and Carnell Tate is a bright spot on this team. Did the Titans find a pass rush? Plus, a three-round mock draft for 2027.

How does Cam Ward fit into Brian Daboll's system?
2026/09/04
We dive into the Brian Daboll offensive scheme and how we think all of the Titans weapons will fit together now that we've seen them at training camp. Timing, execution and off-script plays could work well if Cam Ward can find his weapons. Wan'Dale Robinson, Carnell Tate and Gunner Helm will find success. But can Ward do his part? Will the running game and screen game be the identity?
Then we dive into Week 1 of the college football season with NFL Draft match-ups in the LSU-Clemson, Boise St-Oregon and Ole Miss-Louisville games.
