Easton Freeze’s scoop: Jordan Elliott got into it with JC Latham at practice, went to his car, and grabbed a gun. John Franklin-Myers stopped him from coming back in. A massively tragic situation was avoided. The Titans suspended him, then released him. That was the only move.Then look at the rest of it. Since camp: the quarterback goes viral at the podium, a credential gets yanked, three VPs get fired, an EVP hire with active litigation gets floated and pulled, a fan survey blows up, and a high-priced corner gets benched with no explanation.I have never seen more dysfunction. This starts with the owner. If Amy does not want the responsibility, she should sell.Also: Robert Saleh reacts. What it says about the culture. Blake Beddingfield says the Titans do not trust Cam Ward. Of course they do not. 104.5 loses the Marconi. WEEI won. What a joke.

The Titans released Jordan Elliott and suspended Alontae Taylor. Two guys they signed to real money this offseason. Zero details. What gives?An incident in the facility? These stories should either get out or come out. What does the silence say about the culture inside the building, and about the media that covers them?Also: Paul Kuharsky says the Titans are rescinding the Jeremy Walls offer. Did coverage bully Burke Nihill out of an EVP hire? What I’m hearing from inside the building. If Burke wants everyone to believe Mike Borgonzi runs the football team, when does Borgonzi talk to the fans about his 1-5 team? The Nashville Scene goes there on Burke and Amy. Will the coverage get her to react? And Cory Curtis says Steve Underwood is still in the facility daily.

The Titans won. Good for them. It does not change anything.Cam Ward did not play well. He threw for 102 yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception. The team scored zero first-half points, had 11 first downs, and 186 yards of offense. They feasted on a terrible Daniel Jones day and won with turnovers and special teams. That is not a weekly formula.This is not a regular team in a regular season. If they win 3 or 4 games, a chunk of this fanbase will argue Saleh needs another year or that you have to build around Cam. I am not here for that.Also: The Colts fired Chris Ballard. I agree with it. Losing to you was the last straw. Was Cam “good”? Only if the standard is “he didn’t lose them the game.” That is backup-QB winning. Tennessee spanked Alabama. Heupel is competent. DeBoer still cannot get Bama to the standard. Straight talk with no filter.🔗 Watch the full video here: https://youtube.com/live/1QkTiaWkiD4

The Titans beat the Colts 26-20 and got their first win of the season.Cam Ward threw for 102 yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception. The win was built on defense and special teams: 3 turnovers, 6 sacks, and a punt block returned for a touchdown.I break the whole thing down and ask the question nobody in the building wants asked: was this actually a good thing for the Titans, or did the other parts of the roster cover for a quarterback who still did not produce?Straight talk with no filter.

Burke Nihill sat down with News 2 and ESPN on a Friday. That is a news dump. I am not getting news dumped.I react to what he said and give my honest thoughts as a media member and as a Titans fan.Straight talk with no filter.

Easton Freeze’s fan survey is out. It is not good news for the Titans. My real takeaway is what it says about the fans.Burke Nihill put out a statement with his name on it. If I were the Titans, I would have done everything differently. The question now is whether they rescind the Jeremy Walls hire. Burke needs to sit down and talk to the fans.Also: Ramon Foster and Will Boling talked Jeremy Walls. Ramon had some interesting sourcing. If Burke does not get out in front of this, Robert Saleh is going to get asked about all of it. Taking yourself off the website is not a plan.

The Titans are set to hire Jeremy Walls, the outgoing COO of the Arizona Cardinals, as their new EVP and Chief Business Officer.There is a catch. Walls is currently facing litigation, sent to NFL arbitration, from two former staffers alleging racial discrimination.Also: Burke Nihill is trying to sell people inside the building that he has nothing to do with football. People inside the building do not feel that is accurate. Burke is not the only reason this team stinks. There is still a reason the media keeps pointing at him. What Amy Adams Strunk needs to do once she fires Burke. How bad is the culture? A former player told me he does not even call the team for tickets. He texts a staffer who lets him in the back door.

I was on the phone all morning. Multiple sources. Multiple angles. Organizational fallout from last week’s news.A notebook on Burke Nihill. Bryce Wasserman. My credential, and the reaction from inside the building. And most importantly, Amy Adams Strunk.Also: Can the Titans afford to fire Robert Saleh or Mike Borgonzi? How hot should their seats be versus how hot they actually are? Easton’s fan survey and the absurd number of responses. People are pissed. What does the team do about that? Paul Kuharsky asked Cam Ward about being accustomed to losing. The responses, including Jemele Hill, make me worry we are headed toward a racism argument. That is totally unfair to Titans fans and the media. Straight talk with no filter.🔗 Watch the full video here: https://youtube.com/live/HkgCjiS1h-M

The Tennessee Titans are the saddest sports team I have ever covered. Maybe the saddest organization.The owner has hired three people to run the football operation. All three have been terrible. A team president so hated that five minutes after another firing, the guy the building hates most has the confidential info. A GM who is 3-19. A No. 1 pick who is terrible. A head coach who is 20-41 and accuses people of bias against his 0-5 team.Until they admit what they are at 0-5, nothing changes.The real problem under Amy: she is afraid to lead. Leading requires conflict. She does not do conflict. Neither does Burke. Neither does Borgonzi. Saleh pats everyone on the ass.Also: Robert Saleh is not cutting it. He is moving the goalposts to next year. He is an enabler. What Will Stein does at Kentucky that nobody with the Titans can do.

The Titans lost 26-3 to the Houston Texans and fell to 0-5. Houston entered the day 0-4. This was not a moral victory game. It was a home loss to a winless team.Cam Ward: 23 of 36, 170 yards, 0 touchdowns, 1 interception, 4.7 yards per attempt. He was sacked four times. Tennessee’s only points were a Joey Slye field goal on the opening drive. After that, nothing. The Texans held them to 187 total yards and outgained them 225-49 across the second and third quarters.C.J. Stroud threw for 261 yards and a touchdown and ran for another. Will Anderson had three sacks. Carnell Tate finished with 1 catch for 6 yards.I went hard on this one on the postgame show.Straight talk with no filter.

The Titans restructured the business side. Burke Nihill fired three vice presidents: Adam Nuse, Erin Swartz, and Charles Jensen. Adolpho Birch was moved to “senior advisor to the owner and CEO,” which feels like a way not to fire him.This is a massive story, and not because Adam Nuse called a play. It shows the dysfunction under Amy Adams Strunk. Erin Swartz was just paraded around for the rebrand she headed. Four games into that rebrand, she is gone. Burke has fired everyone, all the time.The other half of the story is me. They yanked my credential to delegitimize me. Then they tried to keep a restructure quiet, and five minutes later the guy they hate had it.Also: Local media sees why this matters. Burke has to go. Paul Kuharsky wrote it. I agree. If Burke stays, Amy endorses the culture. While she takes your money. Straight talk with no filter.🔗 Watch the full video here: https://youtube.com/live/EcEjKi1rfXI

The Titans always seem to be the victim. Criticism is “unfair.” Criticism is “biased.” Is it?Cam Ward speaks today for the first time since the viral press-conference moment on Sunday. I react to what he says and how he handles it.Also: Jim Wyatt went hard at me. Here is what I think about that. I do not get why the head coach, the GM, and the quarterback should get a pass on a potential firing when this franchise has fired other people before.

The Titans are 0-4. Robert Saleh wants you to see an improving team that never wins. That is not how the NFL works. This is not old-school Vandy losing to Florida by 7. The worst Titans team in 2015 beat the defending Super Bowl champs a year later.Why aren’t they 2-2? Why aren’t they even 1-3? They have played the Jets, the Giants, the Eagles, and Baltimore. Fans called Jon Robinson no good when he won. Mike Borgonzi does not win and the team is not better. Are fans okay with that?Also: Saleh lectured us all year that Cam Ward is good. He did the same thing with Zach Wilson. At what point is he an unreliable narrator? Bomani Jones thinks the Titans are concocting an anti-Cam agenda. That might be one of the dumbest takes I have ever heard. Joe Rexrode joins the show. Braves-Dodgers. I can see Atlanta winning. I still think it is highly unlikely.
