The Paul Kuharsky Podcast

Will Levis’ swagger and confidence bring the Titans something different that they may be able to feed off of going forward. But Pittsburgh’s great edge rushing duo will provide a different obstacle. Lectures on booing are not a part of what fans sign up for when they shell out their money for tickets.

While there is still time for turnaround, a lot of the hopefulness that came out of Titans’ training camp looks like it was a lie: The pass protection is worse not better, opponents continue to find explosive plays while the Titans don’t have playmakers, scoring is down, the new offense isn’t figuring things out and the defense is hardly dominant. One glimmer of hope comes from the defenses on the schedule ahead. The team should start the clock on Thomas Odukoya.

Jeffery Simmons doesn’t study the backs and tight ends who may chip him, regarding their work like wasp stings — they hurts a little bit but wear off too. Chips on both sides of the ball are vital for the Titans. Backside wide receivers may be wide open, but on some plays Ryan Tannehill just isn’t going to look their way. The lack of separation by wide receivers is a concern, again. What does great run defense really mean if the pass defense keeps giving up big plays?

A highly revised offense will finally be let out of the box by the Titans in New Orleans, but how different can it really be? The Titans did masterful work with the salary cap through the offseason.
