1 week ago | paulkuharsky.com | Paul Kuharsky

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Titans' rookies wrap up their offseason today. They’ve got a month now to work on things coaches have pointed them toward, ensure they are appropriately fit for the grueling test they will face on July 22 when they return and to clear their heads some from non-stop football from their final collegiate season, combine and pro day prep and the early days of work in the NFL.

By JAMES FOSTER, special correspondent NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Mike Borgonzi inherited a roster that was thin at most key positions, but didn’t have the draft capital to address every need in a single offseason properly. One of his first major decisions as general manager was choosing which positions to prioritize in Year One.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Early in Titans’ practice, the organization’s chief of staff for football operations pulls on football gloves and joins equipment men playing receiver for the quarterbacks. Bryce Wasserman clearly looks to help wherever he can and loves to be involved. At minicamp, the former professional lacrosse player worked the sideline well for Cam Ward, Will Levis and others. “He’s impressive as heck, I don’t know if a lot of people know that he was a pro athlete,” Will Levis said.

Middle of the Field, Center of the Plan: Titans Building Around What Cam Ward Does Best

2 weeks ago | paulkuharsky.com | Paul Kuharsky

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Cam Ward’s minicamp scorecard: A very efficient first day, a less effective second day with the focus on third down and the defense rising and a third day with some poor decision making in the red zone. The full-team summer work doesn’t mean a lot in big context, and Ward’s quick release, ability to fit balls into a lot of tight windows and overall poise and calm were in full evidence. As was another big theme: Balls thrown in the middle of the field by the rookie.
Dre’Mont Jones and Lorenzo Carter Lead Titans’ New 'Big Body' Edge Approach

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Titans didn’t defend the run nearly well enough last year, ranking 26th Like most teams, they talk about earning the right to rush the passer by stopping the run and by that standard, the Titans didn’t earn the right. That would help explain how bad they were at knocking down the quarterback, as they tied for the third fewest sacks in the league with 32.
Titans Will Take Extended Road Trip in Preseason

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Titans are taking a big road trip early in the preseason, in a move Brian Callahan feels is almost a bit like going away for training camp. The team won't come home between one practice and a game in Tampa Bay and two sessions and a game in Atlanta. The Titans looked into going away in bigger fashion, to Napa or Newport Beach, Calif.
Will Xavier Restrepo Be the Titans’ Next Hidden Gem or Just Another Camp Crush?

2 weeks ago | paulkuharsky.com | Paul Kuharsky

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Xavier Restrepo isn't quite a classic underdog. Even though he grinded out a career at Miami that vaulted him past the speedy Santana Moss and two guys with giant NFL careers, Reggie Wayne and Hall of Famer Michael Irvin, to the No. 1 spot in school annals with 200 catches for 2,844 yards, he doesn't look the part. His bond with Cam Ward there prompted the Titans to grab him as an undrafted free agent, despite what I’ve heard was a poor performance at the combine.
If Titans' Second ILB is Weakest Spot in Base Defense, That's OK

2 weeks ago | paulkuharsky.com | Paul Kuharsky

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The one time in recent history the Titans took a big swing at an inside linebacker, Rashaan Evans was a dud. The 22nd pick in the first round in 2018, Evans wound up a good short-yardage and goal-line player, far too narrow a role for a first-round pick. He was too often confused in space and didn’t pan out for Jon Robinson and Mike Vrabel.
