The Music City Audible: A Tennessee Titans Podcast

Justin Melo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Justin Graver⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ are joined by Easton Freeze to catch up and reset where the Tennessee Titans are at through two weeks of training camp practices. Easton talks us through the context around what the Titans are trying to accomplish with each practice, particularly with regards to preparing Cam Ward. Then, we discuss the Titans sloppy penalties in practices over the weekend, and cover Brian Callahan's "hard-ass" approach. After Easton hops off, we run through rapid-fire practice notes from Saturday and Sunday.

We start with a very quick discussion about Terry McLaurin before moving on to Cam Ward and the Titans offense, who reportedly were much "crisper" on Friday. Then, we discuss the energy at practice and why this matters. After that, we hit offensive line vs defensive line takeaways and finish up with back-end competition players.

We start by covering rookie quarterback Cam Ward's three interceptions and what he can learn from those mistakes this time of year. We also examine Ward's best plays of the day before getting into Gunnar Helm's impressive performance and Xavier Restrepo's chances of making the roster. After that, we get into the trench battle, where the offensive line dominated the one-on-one reps but the defensive line struck back in the team period. Peter Skoronski and JC Latham looked great, while Kevin Zeitler and Femi Oladejo struggled. We break it all down on a new Music City Audible!
