Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans didn't get a primetime game on their regular season schedule, but they did just receive a primetime slot in the preseason, for what that's worth! The Titans will take on the Seattle Seahawks in the Sunday Night Football slot in Week 2 of the preseason. This is an interesting matchup, but the joint practices before the game are really what matter most. More immediately, the Titans have given a gift to fans and opened two additional practices to the media for next week's OTAs. This gives us a better read on position battles and progress for young players. Finally, there has been a lot of big news in the NFL this week that can or will have an impact on the Titans. First, Caleb Williams got on the cover of the new Madden game and Cam Ward certainly has the ability and aura to be the cover athlete one day. Also, Drake London got an extension from the Atlanta Falcons and it shows just how much of a value Carnell Tate can be. Also in the news was the two big trades of Myles Garrett and AJ Brown. Brown has closer ties to the Titans emotionally, but both moves help the Titans and with Brown, hopefully Tate allows fans to move on very soon.

The Tennessee Titans traded up to get linebacker Anthony Hill in the second round and with that comes the expectation he can make an immediate impact. That means it is great news to hear that Hill has already been flashing in practice from his direct position coach. Hill taking a step forward and filling a starting role early on would be a good sign for the defense. On offense, the Titans new coaching staff is a perfect fit for Cam Ward due to the amount of research and work they had done on Ward going into last year's draft and a recent comment from the Titans quarterback coach made that obvious. Finally, the Titans want to rotate the defensive line a ton, but that means limited snaps for Jeffery Simmons. However, the Titans coach on the defensive line said Simmons is bought into the approach fully.

While everyone is hyping up the Titans' 2026 draft class, we look back to last year. Outside of quarterback Cam Ward, which player from the 2025 class needs to take a massive second-year leap for Tennessee to be successful? Plus, Sports Illustrated dropped their Coach/QB rankings, placing Robert Saleh and Cam Ward at 25th overall. Is that a fair baseline for the duo, or are they being slept on? We debate it all on this episode!

The Tennessee Titans have made it through a couple of weeks of OTAs and there are some situations that we need to check in on like Tyjae Spears in the final year of his rookie contract. Spears is getting hype for his performance so far, but we shouldn't buy into that hype as all Titans fans know who Spears really is as a player. Carnell Tate on the other hand, has given us every reason to believe in the hype he is generating. On defense, Femi Oladejo has seemingly missed the last few weeks of practices and that is devastating for his growth in year two when it is desperately needed. On the other hand, hype surrounding the Titans two young defenders, Anthony Hill and Keldric Faulk, should be welcome as schematic changes makes big leaps likely. Finally, it seems some starters have emerged early on both sides of the ball in Austin Schlottmann, Cordell Volsen and Marcus Harris. One of those names doesn't have as good of a shot to hold on as the others.

The Tennessee Titans hit the field for another open practice on Friday and once again, Carnell Tate was the star of the show. With highlight catches and smooth route running, Tate has impressed anyone and everyone who has been at practice to witness it and it makes you wonder what a true top receiver could do for Cam Ward and this offense. Speaking of Ward, he had a solid day that wasn't perfect, but Ward is being challenged in a major way in practice due to the circumstances they are working on. Will Levis though, had a meltdown performance consisting of underthrows and interceptions. You feel bad for Levis, but odds are he won't break out of his funk without a new home. Finally, there were some absences that are perfectly reasonable like Jeffery Simmons, but time missed by Femi Oladejo and some young receivers is somewhat of a concern.

Week 2 of Titans OTAs is in full swing, and new head coach Robert Saleh is already laying down the law. His golden rule? If a defensive lineman plays four snaps in a row, "you aren't doing it right." On this episode, we break down the philosophy behind Saleh’s high-frequency rotation and debate whether it’s practical when you have a superstar like Jeffery Simmons on that side of the ball.

The Tennessee Titans would get a massive boost this season if Cam Ward and Carnell Tate's connection from the first week of OTAs is something that is consistent all year. That consistency is what is built right now, the chemistry is created during this time period. Hearing Cam and Tate kept it rolling would be the best thing to come out of Friday's practice. The Titans are also hoping to see the secondary step up as well after a seemingly offensive dominated session last week. With the secondary being a quiet concern, this is something to monitor. The young linebacker group is also something we need to keep an eye on as Robert Saleh's history could lead to big jumps here. Finally, the undrafted free agents the Titans brought in have a chance to shine in these situations and it is the first step of making a roster. Also, some Titans missed last week and the hope is they are back out on the field, like Femi Oladejo, Chim Dike and Elic Ayomanor.

The Tennessee Titans are trying to get pieces in place to become a championship contender and some may already be, like Cam Ward and Jeffery Simmons. Recently, NFL Analyst Daniel Jeremiah laid out a format for teams to be that kind of contender and boxes that needed checked. While the Titans might have a few pieces, they certainly aren't all the way there or close, to be honest. Needing three playmakers on offense and three on defense, along with three quality offensive linemen and two good pass rushers, the Titans can't fit the bill as of yet. However, as they continue to build and see internal improvement, it is possible they find answers in the building or outside in the comings years.

The Titans wide receiver room is officially a crowded battlefield as Week 2 of OTAs gets underway. With top-tier talent like rookie phenom Carnell Tate and dynamic playmaker Wan'Dale Robinson locking down the top of the depth chart, the margin for error has completely vanished for bubble players trying to squeeze onto the final 53-man roster. In this episode, we grab the roster scissors and play a brutal game of "Keep or Cut." We deep-dive into the fringe of the wideout room to debate who survives the numbers game and who gets left out in the cold. Is there a realistic path for everyone, or will fan favorites get caught in the squeeze?

The Titans just completed their first week of OTAs the Cam Ward to Carnell Tate connection is clear the biggest winner, but players like Cedric Gray, Marcus Harris and Austin Schlottmann should be consider big winners as well. When there are winners, there are always losers and players like Jackson Slater, Elic Ayomanor and Femi Oladejo seem like they fit the bill. Finally, there are some weird stories following the Titans right now and it would be nice if the nonsense would end and continue to leave the Titans with a boring, productive offseason.
