FULL Tennessee Titans 2024 Preview: Win Total Floor & Ceiling

Tennessee Titans a 6 and 11 2023 that led to the end of the Mike varable era time now for some Brian Callahan we need Nissan Stadium to be the most feared stadium that people walk into every Sunday Titans 2024 off season line in the sky air 6 and a half wins Taste of last season hard to forget I guess Callahan charged with infusing life into a Titans offense that finished 27th in points per game 28th in yards per game Le from his own end zone is intercepted by Zack Steeler will Levis the QB he's working with rookie had his moments under tough circumstances hey we going to get another shot here right right quick 84.2 rating not bad all things considered they know it's coming who cares let's go eight touchdowns against four ints and over 12 yards per completion Levis has a really nice Trio to work with at wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins put up over a th000 yards DeAndre Hopkins 500 more than any other Tennessee receiver he scored seven times trying to get it to Hopkins will Levis Titans did Levis a solid by signing Calvin Ridley away from Jacksonville he went for over a, yards with them in 2023 fires left corner The End Zone that ball is going to be caught Calvin Ridley and they added Tyler Boyd for the slot he knows Callahan's offense well boy you moving right there look fast right there boy they still have some hope for tayin Burks that he can do a little something he's been hurt both of his first two years the first rounder needs to stay healthy if he's going to finally show up looking for Burks he's got him at the 20 yd line Tennessee likes what they have at tight end Cho awano over 500 yards over 50 catches in his year to Henry he's going to throw it man is wide open Touch lack of options at white out led to running back Tai Spears being third on the team in targets he had some nice pass catching games into the nickel Here Comes The Blitz outside for Spears he broke three Spears racked up almost 400 yds receiving over 450 rushing yards in his first year in the NFL Spears knifing spinning turning touchdown but he won't play second fiddle to the king anymore Derrick Henry departs off an up and down year but one that saw him put up over 1100 Yards Jacksonville expecting Derk hendri 12 touchdowns 4.2 a carry he still made the Pro Bowl that is the king they replaced him with Tony Pard over th yards rushing for Dallas last year six scores four per run puts his head down through a guy at the five bangs to the goal line H also caught 50 balls for 300 plus receiving yards he's been good for that much three years running what that happing we don't r theon's o line those jents are working with has lots of room for improvement they gave up 64 sacks tied for 28th here's pressure Barnett Derek Barnett brings down the quarterback Center Aaron Brewer left tackle Andre Dillard service were not retained neither guy fared well for them third sack grabbed him by the shoulders and spot him down added Center Lloyd cushenberry previously with Denver he had a good 2023 and they drafted JC leam in the first round of the draft the Tennessee Titans this was a glaring need for them leam is a mammoth human being played at right tackle there he's also played inside at guard I believe he'll he'll be a left tackle in the NFL Charles rest of their guys are returning Titans who have to play better to give the offense a chance and it's another sack for this Houston Texans defense turning the page to the Titans defense it was a middle of the Pack Unit in points per game and yards per game it could have been worse though they were at least number one in the Red Zone Titans defense also excelled at stopping the run 3.8 yards per carry allowed Y'all Scared what y'all scared for four new faces being infused into the starting lineup they won't have aiz alire anymore he had over 60 takedowns last year swarm this is going to be a fourth and short here they filled his role with former charger Kenneth Murray who comes over off 100 plus tackle three sack campaign stop behind the ofage kenth Murray his partner would have gone for triple digits too but Jack Gibbons missed some games he still ended up with 95 in his second year under duress sacked for the third time Jack gibons second year man out of Minnesota got there stopping the pass last year was not a Titan strength tied for 27th in rating Allowed no team had fewer ints and they were 30th in completion percentage allowed throws it down field for kyin granson little double Fleet flicker revers pass rush didn't produce a lot of QB hits they were middle of the pack in sacks and they lost their sack leader defensive tackle Deno atrey took down 11 and A2 QBs he led the team down he goes Deno atrey with his seven of the Season outside linebacker Harold Landry bounced back from injury to Rack 10 and a half and he had seven many tackles that's a solid number for a dude focused on the signal caller he'll be brought down at Tennessee they brought in another former charger Sebastian Joseph day to fill his void finally Sebastian Joseph day got to him he's never had more than three sacks in a season though defensive tackled Jeffrey Simmons only got in 12 games so he only managed five and a half defensive end ardan key chipped in with five at least Ard key off the edge that ball popped out defensive end Arden key Chi with six at least ke off the edge that ball popped out ke was the first one there again man he's a game record tandre sweat should get a chance to start at nose tackle for them right out of the gate he was their second rounder this year yeah this is a mammoth human being you see the weight there 366 lbs this is someone who can really clog the Run Lanes with his big frame the lack of consistent pressure made things tough on most of their DBS safey Amman hooker and Elijah molden both gave up ratings over 105 caught Calvin Ridley cornerbacks Christian Folton 12 games played raid allowed almost 120 so he's not coming back and cornerback Trey Avery gave up six touchdowns in a rating over 140 he keep it in he does Avery should see less snaps being Tennessee picked up two new cornerbacks lerus Sneed who they ponied up for to snag from Kansas City where he's been a top shelf corner for the last few years Herz gets rid of it picked off by spe and they got chidobe uer former Bengal he comes over off a Soo year but has a few fine showings on his resume rier had the coverage in the end zone the two newcomers will pair with Roger mccre he held quarterbacks to an 80.3 rating faced the most targets an interception no touchdowns allowed picked off Roger mcy on the interception not many teams have punters worth mentioning not many have a stoner punting for them Ryan Stonehouse let the league in yards per punt at 53.1 dude has a boom stick that's the leg that Ryan ston housee the number one puner in the NFL has 71 y kicking duties were held down by Nick Folk needs to bounce back he missed one field goal last year on 30 tries come on bro how are they supposed to count on you like that yes yes Tennessee's roster looks improved when you absorb it all at once Levis is surrounded by good to Star Play maker types pared for Henry look it's a downgrade but it's not really that simple but there's respect in play here okay upgrades at two receiver slots though Ridley and Boyd are great ads for Will I Am the o line also received an infusion leam should improve the left tackle spot cushenberry also represents Green in this case at the center position over to the defensive side the front three Joseph day just isn't as good as arrey is but sweat seems like an upgrade over Pico at inside linebacker alshire and Murray both tackle monster type so a push though Murray does have some shoes to fill backside sne and azier should improve their pass defense significantly mccre wasn't a problem so their Corner Trio should be pretty good they hope their safeties play the pass better as a result so with so many upgrades what's the deal with their 6.5 Win total the answer their schedule Tennessee plays just three teams with over unders of 6 and 1 half or lower that's one of the lowest totals of any team this season New England who they get at home Minnesota also a home game Washington who they get on the road they'll find a way to get a couple in division wins too but you can see it they play a ton of teams with high expectations five wins then is our floor based on a very bumpy road if Levis makes the jump with the improved pass catching group let's give their roster a nine win type status now they beat Chicago week one find a way to take the Jets get a win in LA versus the Chargers and split with the Texans 9 and8 isn't a high ceiling but it would be serious progress under the circumstances let's look inside the game preview guy guessing bag I'm still not a fan of that schedule more than 6 and a half wins but still under 500 at 7- 10
