Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee Titans - Cam Ward BIG CONCERN in Tennessee Titans Loss to 49ers, WORST Titans Team EVER & Gunnar Helm is GOOD

Episode Date: December 15, 2025

The Tennessee Titans got handled by the San Francisco 49ers, but the continued struggles of Cam Ward made the loss sting even more. Ward continues to miss on throws deep down the field and it is a pattern that has developed throughout the season. It doesn't mean the jury is out on Ward, but it is certainly an weakness that must improve next year and the Titans can help Ward as well. Overall though, this is the worst Titans team ever and watching them each week is a disaster. The conservative coaching and lack of answers on defense, combined with providing opportunities for the other team to basically have a party every week, make this season specifically excruciating. However, Gunnar Helm continues to shine and he along with the Titans offensive line, deserve some love for this performance. Subscribe to the TicTacTitans Film Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@TicTacTitans TicTacTitans Merchandise: https://dixons-dream.square.site/shop/tictactitans-gear/C3AAPNWXSXA6SBYG3USV2I7R?page=1&limit=30&sort_by=category_order&sort_order=asc Follow Tyler on Twitter @TicTacTitans Follow the show on Facebook @LockedOnTitansPod Subscribe to the Locked On Titans YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/c/LockedOnTitans/videos Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

I have to admit, I am sick of watching the 2025 Tennessee Titans, and I'm tired of seeing Cam Ward's biggest flaw be exposed each and every week. That and more on today's edition of Locked on Titans. You are Locked on Titans, your daily Tennessee Titans podcast, part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day. Welcome to the Locked on Titans podcast.

On today's show, we are going to break down another terrible loss for the Tennessee Titans where they were 100% handled by the San Francisco 488. matters worse. We continue to see some struggles from Cam Warden, something that I think is a concern going forward that has to be corrected ASAP. Also, we got to talk about Gunner Helm, who looks like the best Tennessee Titans rookie tight end that we have ever seen broke a record on Sunday that we're going to talk about. Before we get into all of that,

I do want to thank you for making Locked on Titans, your first listen each and every day. Remember Monday through Friday, Tennessee Titans content all year round, always for free.

We've got a coaching search right around the corner if you want to stay as up to date as possible. You got to stay locked in with the Locked on Titans podcast. But again, Cam Ward's biggest concern continued to show up in this game. Now, as we have

throughout the season. This has been a common theme and that's why some of the things that I'm feeling although Cam Ward played better in the second half, I'm not going to go away from what I'm seeing out there just because the same thing happened that's happened all year and the Titans look better in garbage time. Cam Ward looks better in garbage time when the defense backs up but the deep ball accuracy is 100% a concern and he misses on too many deep balls. Now as I said last week, All quarterbacks have misses. The best quarterbacks in the NFL miss passes. That happens.

But what the key is, is that you hit more than you miss. And at this point, Cam Ward does not hit on more of those deep balls than he's missed. He misses open guys every week. And again, in the second half, when San Francisco's defense led up a little bit, when they were playing back more to give him easier possessions, like we've seen all year long, but when the game was in the balance, when the game actually mattered, this game could have been 17 to 17 at halftime.

He has a wide open Van Jefferson. And again, it's every single week there are these deep ball misses that happen. It is a pattern and people would be like, oh, you're gonna take one bad throw and make it, no, it is a pattern that has been rough all year long and I would remind you that on passes 30 plus yards down the field in college in his final year, year. He wasn't very good on those either. His deep ball accuracy, especially to the outside,

to the sidelines, which is where we're seeing these misses more often than not, it's to the sideline. When he has to throw deep down the field and outside the numbers, it is a problem. It was a problem on his college tape. So the fact that it's been a pattern in the NFL lead you to believe, hey, this is one of his big weaknesses. When we have the conversation about what does Cam Ward need to get better at? Where are his weaknesses? The biggest thing is his accuracy, specifically is deep ball accuracy,

and then also the turnover problems. He almost had three interceptions in the game today if San Francisco's defense could have caught anything. I guess that's why they're on defense. And we're not going to sit here and be like, oh, this almost, this almost, this almost, but he has not played well the last couple of weeks. And the past of Gunner Helm is a really good throw.

The pass to Van Jefferson was a massive underthrow And look, at the end of the day I think the solved to this problem The solved to this problem Is that Cam Ward stops Trying to throw a frozen rope Directly to the hands of the receiver

Because he's missing and he's offshooting But start to put more touch under it Start to put more loft under it Put it up there for your guy to go make a play under Rather than thinking that you got to put it perfectly to his hands Let your guy go make a play give him a chance because on most of these deep balls

throughout the season and especially over the last couple of weeks he's missing four or five yards off the sideline. Now, what I think is the biggest concern with the conversation here is that I can't say

what I'm saying right now. I can't say Cam Ward has to get better with his accuracy, specifically the deep ball on the outside. He has to find a way to be far more accurate there. I can't say that. without people jumping to conclusions about what that means long term.

Oh, so you think Cam Ward's a bust. Oh, so you think Cam Ward's gonna be terrible at deep balls the rest of his career. Oh, you're giving up on him already. He's a rookie. Why does that mean that? Analyzing what Cam Ward has done. I want you, if you're somebody who's angry that I'm criticizing Cam Ward. If you're a pusher, oh, look at his offensive line. Zero sacks in today's game.

The Titans' offensive line was good today. The run game for the Titans. Good in this game. 136 yards on 20 carries. They rush for 6.8 yards per carry. Tony Pollard went over 100 yards for a second straight game. The offensive line was awesome in this game. They dominated a matchup that they should have dominated. Zero sacks and the run game was going. The offensive line was good in this game. It was Cam Ward early in the game that wasn't good enough. And again, we get away from the deep balls.

He missed Chim Deky underneath on a couple of throws where he had him and he just went to the wrong guy. It was a really bad first half and we've seen Cam Ward have a lot of really bad first halves this year and then he plays better in the second half when the game is basically out of hand. Now again, me pointing out these realities, me being real about Cam Ward and telling you,

hey, I want you to tell me what you think Cam Ward's weaknesses are. Do you think Cam Ward is a perfect player that has no problems? that Cam Ward is just anything that he's good or bad at, we excuse it this year. No, it's like I said a couple of weeks ago. Cam has checked the boxes of what we needed to see to get him to next year. I have already seen what I want to see from Cam Ward for him to get the start next year. He's the quarterback we're building around.

We're getting a coaching staff to build around that's going to build up Cam Ward. But that doesn't mean that he's a perfect player who is above criticism at all times. the accuracy must be better the deep ball accuracy specifically has to get a lot better and the turnover problems with the fumbles has to be cleaned up it has to be better

why can't I say all of that without you in your mind going oh so you think Cam Ward's a bust oh so you think it's over oh so you're giving up on him oh so you think he can't do this he can't do that like I don't understand what about today's society leads us to

not being able to analyze a single moment and the analysis of that moment not be proclamation towards this is a definitive statement on the future. I won't play by those rules that I can't tell you that Cam Ward's deep accuracy was a problem in college and needs to be better now.

It's been a problem this year. He had pockets, he had time, he had open receivers and he missed. That doesn't mean that Cam Ward can't be the franchise quarterback for this team going forward and that Cam Ward can't lead the Titans to success. Those two things are not equal. So,

it's just frustrating to me that we can't have serious conversations of, hey, Cam Ward's really good at some of the intermediate throws over the middle of the field. Cam Ward's really good at getting some of those throws to the sideline on short-to-intermediate stuff. Cam Ward's really good at playmaking,

buying time in the pocket and finding guys after he's got out. Cam Ward's a gamer who will be ready to play in the biggest moments Cam Ward has a great work ethic Cam Ward has showed great command of the offense and command of the huddle and understanding his play and being the leader for his team

he's done all those things well and we can build on those but he is far from perfect and we are seeing on display his biggest concerns the last couple of weeks ball security putting the ball in trouble accuracy, especially the deep accuracy.

Like, I'm sorry, we can still have hope that Cam Ward is the answer for this team and still be excited about what's happened while acknowledging all of the circumstances with the bad wide receiver play and the struggling offensive line play and the bad coaching and the bad development that Cam Ward's gotten his first year. All of that can be true. But when Cam Ward has a pocket and there's a wide open guy on a slug down the sideline and he misses him and we've seen him miss that guy multiple times

throughout the season. I can't just wish that away and throw that away like it never happened. We can't do that either. So it's just frustrating. It's just frustrating that we're seeing some of these major issues and we can't have conversations around them because some of you guys just don't want to acknowledge what we're seeing. And not only that but when you add the fact that that Cam Ward struggles in the last couple of weeks because what we hope to see was Cam Ward get better as the season went on and Cam Ward start to really progress

and we saw the game against Houston and the game against Seattle and you're like okay he's going to turn a corner here and the rest of the team has gotten better the run game has gotten better the O line has gotten better the defense has gotten better over the last five to six weeks although they were terrible today the defense has gotten better statistically

you look at multiple marks they have improved over the second third of the season. And Cam Ward really hasn't matched that. If Cam Ward did match that, the Tennessee Titans might have actually been in that football game. Again, it would have been 17 to 7 at halftime if he hits Van Jefferson. So the fact that we've seen other parts of the team get a little bit better and tick up just a little bit, but Cam Ward hasn't really matched that,

it's frustrating. And the fact that he hasn't matched it is because of his biggest concerns and the weaknesses that must improve going forward. And if we don't acknowledge that, you think Cam Ward isn't going to acknowledge that? How can you improve on anything if you don't acknowledge it? So again, I'm sick of watching this football team,

but part of that is Cam Ward is just struggling in some areas that give you concern. And I wish that wasn't the case. Because last week, there was the throw to DK. This week, there's the throw to Van Jefferson. And it's like if Cam Ward hits these plays, the Titans are in a much better position So with that being said though

Again it's not just Cam Ward He's obviously just the most important piece to all of this But again I am sick of the 2025 Tennessee Titans I do not like this football team Do want to let you guys know that today's episode Is brought to you by Aura Frames The holidays are officially here

Titans fans, let's continue today's edition of the Locked on Titans podcast, breaking down the Tennessee Titans 37 to 24 loss to the San Francisco. 49ers do want to thank you for making Locked-on Titans. Your first listen, thank you for making the Locked-on Podcast Network, the number one sports podcast network. But with that being said, I am sick of this football team. And I said it in my short video after the game.

I love the Tennessee Titans. I mean, if you don't watch on YouTube, look behind me here. You know, I've been a Titans fan for 26 years now. Like, I'm in with the team. I'll always be a Titans fan. I'll always be covering the team for as long as I can. I'm not going anywhere. but God, I'm sick of the 2025 Tennessee Titans.

I am sick of this team. We just talked about Cam Ward struggles. It's like we can't even get a regular normal Cam Ward breakout game. We can't even like the Levis or the Mario de game. You know, the four touchdowns, the Cam Ward throws for 300, throws three touchdowns, the Titans win. Like we can't even get one of those. All right.

And then you add in, I am so tired of Grandpa Mike McCoy. I'm so tired of Grandpa Mike McCoy. They're down 14. They're down 17. It's third and long. It's third and eight. It's third and 12. You're across the 50.

You're all these different obvious things. And you're running wide receiver screens. You're running wide receiver screens. On top of the field goal decisions that we've seen for Mike McCoy. And again, a lot of the issues that I have, rarely do I get really upset about something that I haven't been seeing all season long and to see it all season long all season long with these conservative play calls these surrender play calls whether just like whatever we're not getting it like in my mind every time they run a screen on like a wide receiver screen I could dig a running back screen a running back screen might actually give you an opportunity to catch the defense slip and you a fake a chip you slip out you catch you go with taj spears something like that but these bubble screens out to the wide receivers you think you're getting 12 13 14 yards on these bubble screens outside the reason

that those bubble screens and stuff like that work are because they're done on early downs where teams are actually worried about the run game and then you can catch a team with their pants down and get a number's advantage on the outside on the perimeter because the box is loaded worried about the run on a rundown running them on a pat and an obvious passing down, you're not going to find success with that consistently and they haven't. I'm tired of this coaching staff. And look, this is why DeNard Wilson is a good defensive coordinator. He's good. He's not great. And I don't think he's a head coach yet either. But I am not here for the, oh, DeNard Wilson needs to be kept around. Like if the

Coach wants to keep DeNard Wilson around, whatever. But if the coach is like, hey, I'm getting rid of, it's an offensive coach. He's like, I'm getting rid of DeNard Wilson. I'll find my own defensive coordinator. I'm not going to be mad about it. They have been killed on those bootlegs all year long. Hey, credit to DeNord Wilson for improving the defense. And they got a Pizza Hut delivery driver out there starting at safety during this game.

Mike Brown, Kevin Winston, Xavier Woods, all get hurt in the game. Three safeties all get hurt in the game They got Kendall Brooks out there I think they had Kair Elam playing safety At one point during the game After Kendall Brooks got banged up But like you got a Pizza Hut delivery driver

Out there playing safety So excuse me That's what it does to me I'm not gonna kill DeNard Wilson too hard or anything like that I think that he is a good But he's not so great That you know you gotta pound the table

To keep DeNard Wilson around What are we doing there? And then again, I'm tired of being the other team's parade. I'm sick of it. The 49ers fans are having a party. Think of what it must be like. Think of what it must be like to be the 49ers.

Kittles making plays, McCaffrey's scoring, Purdy's running around like he's Michael Vick, you know what I mean? The defense is making plays. Cam Ward's missing deep balls. You're 10 and 4. You're dominating this JV team Again, it's like having your little brother in a headlock and you're giving him a nougie.

You're wrestling and your little brother squirming trying to do the best that he can, blah, blah, blah, and you're like laughing, laughing. I'm tired of it every week like the Jacksonville. And again, the game against Seattle. The Titans are down 23 to 3. They're down 30 to 10. They make it close at the end, but they got stomped. Houston, they're down 13 to 3

they make it close at the end with a late touchdown and they lose by 3 but they got handled in that game pretty much all game long until that final drive where Cam Ward made it work Jacksonville is 25 to 3 you know they're just they're getting stomp this team's terrible

this is the worst Titans team ever and I'm just sick of watching them and Cam Ward struggling doesn't make if Cam Ward was playing awesome and they were losing Like, that would at least be workable, you know what I mean? But in this game, and for the last couple of weeks, other than the Cleveland win, and again, let's be honest here.

I'm happy that they beat Cleveland. I enjoyed the win, but when it comes to Cam Ward's performances, we're putting on a brave face here. He hasn't been good for a month. It wasn't the worst of those games. Like, but man, I'm just sick of this team. I can't wait for the off-season. We have, you know, three games left,

and Titans will probably win next week. Patrick Mahomes, ACL. And add to it, the Giants didn't win, and Jackson Dart, get off my lawn about Jackson Dart. That dude is insane. He's always hurt. Throwing multiple intercept.

Shador Sanders was absolute garbage against the Bears. You know, the Raiders got stomped the Ravens won but no Dremont Jones sack I think when I checked after that game and the Steelers win last week

like the Ravens may not make the playoffs it's just God man everything literally everything but you guys know me what I like to do is I like to finish on some positivity so Gunner Helm is the

best rookie tight end in Tennessee Titans history. I called his touchdown. I told you the route it was going to happen on. I told you who they were going to attack on defense. Let's talk about Gunnard Helm, the offensive line, Calell Mullings, Jalen Harrell, there are some things

Titans fans. Let's cap off today's edition of the Locked on Titans podcast. We talked about Cam Ward's biggest concerns being exposed the last couple weeks and why that doesn't mean that he's a bust or anything like a lot of you guys try to say it just means we know where Cam Ward must improve going forward overall though it is a part of the worst experience I've ever had with a Tennessee Titans football team I'm sick of this team but there was some good stuff in this game that we should be excited about number one gunner helm guys I'm going to take a little bit of a victory lap here on the gunner helm

situation. I told you guys that Gunner Helm was going to be awesome. I said he was tied in one from the jump. This guy needs to play more than Chigacanquo. It took forever for the Tennessee Titans coaching staff to figure it out. No shock, I guess. But Gunnard four catches, 49 yards, had a touchdown, had the 34 yard touchdown long, and again we talked about it. The up and out route against a linebacker of the San Francisco 49ers. We talked about D. Winters. We talked about D. Winters We talked about that as a potential matchup for the Titans with Gunner Helm and they caught the San Francisco 49ers in a zone coverage

where the linebacker was responsible for the outbreaking route of Gunner Helm and then Helm bent it upfield down the sideline. Cam put it on him and it was a touchdown, well deserved for Gunner Helm who has been awesome this year and seeing some people nationally start to notice how good that Gunner Helm is he's gotten so much better throughout the season as a blocker. He is so reliable as a pass catcher He is a weapon He is a good route runner

He can catch the ball and get up field He again record breaking day For Gunner Helm He passed Bo Skafe For the most catches By a rookie tight end And Titan's history Congratulations Gunner Helm

And at this point I think He's about 50 or 60 yards Behind Chicka Conquo From his rookie year he had 450 yards as a rookie. Gunner Helm is about 60 yards behind Chicka Conquo to set the record for most receiving yards by a tight end.

So if he passes that, it is without a doubt the best rookie tight end season in Tennessee Titans history and it's kind of crazy because it hasn't felt like that, right? We haven't seen Gunner Helm have crazy breakout performances or even have consistent production. And again, I remind you that a big part of that is the Tennessee Titans coaching staff has no clue what they're doing, didn't know what they were doing with Gunner Helm

and continued to play Chica Conquo 40, 48, 50 snaps a game while playing Gunner Helm 15, 20, 25 snaps less than Chigacalco it didn't make any sense whatsoever throughout the season it makes even less sense now knowing what we know about Gunner Helm but again I think that yeah and I see Tyler Gunner Helm had back to back off sides that's so dumb like that is a simple look over to the referee and the rep to say back up that is not like Gunner Helm's a dumb player, doesn't know what he's doing. That's a complete non-issue for me in that one.

But anyways, moving right along, so excited about Gunner Helm, could not possibly be more hype and could not possibly feel more right about Gunner Helm and what he was able to do. I called the Titans drafting Chigacanquo during that draft. I figured Gunner Helm would be a good player and should be the real tight end one for this team. I feel like tight end is just one of those positions like I see a tight end in college. I think they're good. I'm going to, like, have a good understanding of that. It's just one of those things that I tend to get right, I guess.

And there are positions that I certainly seem to get wrong quite a bit. But tight end, I feel pretty locked in on. And good for Gunner Helm, he deserves it. One of the best bright spots of this team. Him and Cam Ward together for the next five years is going to feed families, as they say. Also, this offensive line, Kevin Zeitler went out during this game after we initially starting. Dan Moore did not play in Ali Udo's story. started in front of him. This offensive line gave up zero sacks after giving up one sack last week

to Miles Garrett, and it was right before halftime in a weird situation. The Titans ran the ball very well. I mean, that's 180 yards last week, 100 nearly 140 yards, 136. This week, the Titans have run for over 300 yards in back-to-back weeks, and yeah, you could say Cleveland is a bad team, but Cleveland had a top 10 run defense. Yeah, you could say San Francisco doesn't have the best run defense. They're 12th in the NFL coming into the week, but this is a really good football team, and the Titans have ran for 300 rushing yards in two weeks

and one sack, 300 rushing yards and one sack in two weeks. The Titans' offensive line deserves a ton of credit for how they've been playing. And again, that's what makes it disappointing that Cam Ward hasn't really upticked his level of play because the offensive line has certainly been a lot better. You know what I mean? And the run game's been there.

So big credit to the offensive line, but it does make you look like why do the Titans pay Dan Moore $20 million a year when Ali Udo comes in and you don't really even notice? Also, I know J.C. Latham got an illegal block in the back but J.C. Latham I thought was awesome in this game.

He gave up what, literally I tweeted out that I thought J.C. Latham was awesome in this game and as I hit send on the tweet, he gave up his only pressure of the game. Literally, like incredible reverse chinks. incredible reverse jinks power that I seem to have but overall that has to make you very excited

because a lot of what we're seeing on the offensive line this year for the Titans is going to be the offensive line for the Titans next year Cushenberry they could cut Cushenberry and go to Corey Levin but they will have to eat some dead money whether it's post June 1st or not

that's not a clean cut Dan Moore makes too much to be gone Kevin Zitler could be replaced but we know that we're gonna see Skoronsky we're gonna see Latham we're gonna see more we could see Levin and Levin was out there playing no matter what, so even if Cushingberry is cut, we're probably just

going to get Corey Levin at center, which I'm fine with going cheap there and maybe throwing some money at right guard at like a Wyatt Teller or maybe a one-year deal for a Joel Betonio or, you know, something like that. We'll look into options as they pop up. There are other options out there for sure. But overall, you've got to be happy about the offensive line. Hello Mullings! Superman Mullings finally got a carry. He got a short yardage, third down carry that he converted. Shout out to the rookie. Finally getting on the field there, that was his only carry of the day but again three yards got the first down that's what we wanted to see and we could have seen that from kellow mulling's all season i would be a lot happier about that

situation jalen harrell has three sacks in the last five weeks i think it is he has gotten pressure jalen harrel looks like a real rotation player now jalen harrel isn't going to be a starter for the tennessee titans but he looks like a good depth player could be good like if the titan you need to have a defensive line rotation if you're a good football team you need to have about seven guys on the defensive line that you can rotate in and out for pass rush situations and keep your guys fresh. The best teams in the NFL have that depth on the defensive line. If you look at sweat, Simmons, Sebastian Joseph Day, Jalen Harrell, Femio, that's five right there. And I think if you have a veteran

edge rusher and you get an edge rusher early in the draft, like think if they you know, if they added a guy like Adafo-O-A and drafted Rubin Bain or Arvel Reitz or something like that. Those are just examples. I'm not pounding the table for any individual guy, but you could see how this pass rush group, this defensive line group, could get a lot better this all season

if the right things are at it. And Jalen Harrell is a part of that. Marcus Harris, he had some catches on him against Ricky Pearson and stuff, but Marcus Harris had a PBU, he had some tackles. Like Marcus Harris, again, I do believe is an answer as a passing down slot guy for the Titans.

next year, Kevin Winston got hurt in this game. That was unfortunate. He had a hamstring issue. People are so ready to hate on Kevin Winston. I don't understand it with what he showed us this year and the limited snaps coming back from an ACL as a rookie, like, how could you not be overly excited about Kevin Winston? Even, you know, he gives up...

That pass took forever. The first touchdown to Joanne Jennings that was on Kevin Winston in man coverage, zero pressure on Brock Purdy on that play yet all the time in the world for a long developing route and it's Kevin Winston one-on-one against a wide receiver like I don't expect him to win on those all the time he's his safety but regardless

unfortunately Kevin Winston got hurt hopefully we get him back because he's one of the lone bright spots on the team that make you excited to watch the defensive side of the ball but again on tomorrow's show we're gonna talk about how you can help Cam Ward with some of his weaknesses what are some of the best ways to do that this off season

and how they need to let him struggle. Mike McCoy needs to let Cam Ward struggle if he really wants to do what's best for Cam Ward going forward none of this conservative nonsense. So a lot to break down on tomorrow's show. That is going to do it for me today though, folks. As always, I am your host, Tyler Rowland, and this was Locked on Titans.

Thank you.
