A Very Special (Teams) Podcast

We look back at Sunday's 52-14 loss to the Detroit Lions and wonder how much of a future special teams coach Colt Anderson has with this franchise after another disastrous performance by his units. Sub-par special teams play has been all too common this season. ... The performance came days after the Titans became part of the past for wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and linebacker Ernest Jones IV, both of whom were traded away. ... For the second straight week, quarterback Mason Rudolph played in place of the injured Will Levis. In some ways, he delivered the best game by a Tennessee quarterback this season, but there were some downsides as well. ... Also for the second week in a row, coach Brian Callahan is being second-guessed for his play-calling, this time a sequence that started with first-and-goal from the 1 in the final minute of the first half. ... If anyone was happy about the Hopkins trade, it might have been Calvin Ridley, who looked like a changed man and put up some big numbers against the Lions. ... Even at 1-6 and after two straight blowout losses, the Titans are favored at home against the New England Patriots on Sunday. Between them, they have three wins and some truly pedestrian offensive stats, which means this has the potential to be one of the least interesting games in the NFL this season. Even so, for the Titans, it is probably a must-win.
