Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee Titans - Tennessee Titans QUICKEST FIX is Pass Rush, Abdul Carter Silly Eagles Worry & Aaron Rodgers is FREE

Episode Date: February 13, 2025

The Tennessee Titans will likely need to exercise patience as they look to rebuild the roster, but if they hope to turn things around quickly, the fastest path to more wins is to bolster the pass rush, not add a rookie quarterback. Bolstering the pass rush could be accomplished by drafting Abdul Carter early in the NFL Draft, but lately some Titans fans have been worrying about Carter's Philadelphia Eagles fandom and using it as a reason to downplay his fit with the Titans. That complaint is insane and lacks an understanding of how professional sports works. Finally, Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets have made their breakup official and if Rodgers wants to play football in 2025, it should be a priority for the Titans to give him a call. 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 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! LinkedInLinkedIn Jobs helps you find the qualified candidates you want to talk to, faster.

I'll rehash my thoughts on Rogers as an option for the Titans. Before we dive into all of it, do want to thank you for making the Locked on Titans podcast your first listen each and every day.

So make sure that you get subscribed, stay subscribed, follow me on Twitter, at Tic Tac Titans, follow all my socials at Locked on Titans as well. But with all that being said, I know that this is controversial on its face.

If you read on paper, the quickest way to turn the Titans around is fix the pass rush. You would instantly be like, no way that doesn't make sense. The quickest way to turn a team around is to get the quarterback, right? You get a quarterback we see with Washington, we see with Houston, all that. You get a quarterback and you immediately can turn things around. Well, let me tell you that situation and circumstance absolutely does matter here. And in my opinion, if you want the Titans to be a much better team next year and to actually turn things around a little bit and get going in the right direction, then it's

the pass rush that you want to address right away. And my my thought on that, there's a couple of different layers to it, but my number one thought here is, where are the Titans actually decent right now? Well, the defensive side of the ball is far ahead of the offensive side of the ball, no doubt about it. So in my opinion, if you're looking for immediate improvement in the quickest way for the Titans to improve and turn things around, it's to double down on your strength.

It's going to be very difficult to turn such a weakness as the Tennessee Titans offense all the way into the strength that it needs to be to turn this team around on its own, you know what I mean? The gap to go for the offense to be the driving force of this team getting better. It would have to go so far in terms of production and quality. Whereas the defense, the defense was number one in the NFL for much of the season. The defense had its bad performances and had its, you know, against Indianapolis, the second game on the ground. You know, there are performances in there where the defense was not very good as the injury

started to take toll. And especially in that Colts game, they just ran it down their throat. The linebacker play was so bad. I admit, I admit. But but the reality is for most of the season, the Tennessee Titans defense was pretty good. So to me, if you want the Tennessee Titans to make a massive improvement in one year, the way to do that is to have a dominant pass rush. Pass rush travels.

Whether your rookie quarterback is having a good or a bad day doesn't matter with the pass rush. Now we start getting into the playoffs and you play good teams and all that. Then obviously things are a little bit different. But during the regular season, if you want the Tennessee Titans to win more games and turn things around their defense is the path to doing that. It'll be much easier to create a defense that gives you the ability to win more games than it will be to create an offense that massively improves your chances to win games this year. That is my clear opinion, which is why I want to draft Abdul Carter with the number one overall pick or trade back and get Abdul Carter.

He's my number one prospect for the Titans this year, but also because look at what is already on the roster. You know, that's the other part of this. It's not just in the total here. It's look at individual sides of the ball and where the Titans have to go. So what would have to happen for the Tennessee Titans to have any elite defense next year,

a defense that's so good that it gives them a chance to win games. The Titans would need to improve their pass rush. We could say that the defense was good and the defense was good last year, but the worst part of that defense outside of the linebacker play but you guys know how I feel about linebackers but just get average linebackers and you'll be fine if you're secondary and your pass rush is good that's what matters on

defense secondary and pass rush offensive line and quarterback you know what I mean like we could get a running back somewhere else we can get a linebacker somewhere else it'll be okay but for me if you look at what what the Titans already have on the defensive line, and you have Harold Landry, who's a good secondary rusher, you know, he's not an elite Nick Bosa, Miles Garrett, TJ Watt, Max Crosby guy, but he's a good secondary rusher. You have Jeffrey Simmons, who was a tank in the middle. You have Arden key who listen, Arden key is not an every down rusher. I've been saying for two years now that Arden key is a good third rusher.

If he was a rotational pass rusher who was not asked to be a starter down in and down out, you got Arden key Arden key can rush from the inside as well because of his length and size. And then you add Abdul Carter, the best pass rusher in the draft, the best prospect in the draft, in my opinion. And I'm not alone in that opinion. There are a lot of people, um, national media, national scouts, things like that, that it would say Abdul Carter is the best player in the draft as well. scouts, things like that, that it would say Abdul Carter is the best player in the draft as well.

So to me, again, you add a rookie quarterback to this offense and say, you, you know, make additions in free agency, you add a Trace Smith, you, but you're not going to be able to make a great offensive line and then make great weapons and add the quarterback all in one season, you're not going to be able to make a great offensive line and then make great weapons and add the quarterback all in one season. You're not going to be able to fix the offense quick enough that if you want to win games, if your goal is to quickly go from 3-14 to a respectable football team, the quickest path forward for the Titans is to take the pass rusher and to try to make your pass rush absolutely unstoppable. Because to take the quarterback and think that that would turn things around quickly,

well you need to fix the offensive line, you would need to give that rookie quarterback more weapons. I'm sorry but the Titans aren't good enough on the offensive line, even with free agency or good enough at the weaponry positions on offense through free agency in the back end of the draft to support a young quarterback enough to make the Titans win games. Maybe two seasons from now, not this year, but the next year after maybe the quarterback now is ready to win you games. But if you're interested in winning games as quickly as possible, then creating a dominant pass rush is the best way to do that.

And with Jeffrey Simmons, Tavandre Sweat, with Harold Landry, with Arden Key, with the secondary pieces, the Titans have Abdul Carter is the way to accomplish that. And again, I talked about bringing in another free agent edge rusher for a cheap deal, like a Baron Browning, for example, with a little bit of upside. Now you're really cooking on the pass rush. You bring back Sebastian Joseph Day, who had some good moments last year. Now you really have a good pass rush rotation to get at quarterbacks.

And that is how the Tennessee Titans are going to win games. Not going with a rookie quarterback, who no matter what the Titans Titans do is still going to have a decent offensive line at best and below average weapons on offense at best as well. But with that being said, I'll tell you why there's a stupid Abdul Carter fear going around. That's absolutely silly.

We talked about why I think adding a pass rusher and trying to bolster the pass rush is the quickest way to making this team win games next year.

Now I want to talk about the best way to bolster that pass rush. And it's by drafting Abdul Carter out of Penn state. And look, there's a new, a new method that the quarterback. Drafters in the fan base have been using to make quarterbacks seem like the better path and try to put down Abdul Carter and it's Abdul Carter being an NFL fan. Before I dive into it, do want to thank you for making Locked on Titan your first listen each and every day. Remember Monday through Friday, Tennessee Titans content all year round,

always for free. Make sure you get subscribed, stay subscribed. It's your team every day here on the Locked on Titan's podcast. But so obviously there's a divide in the fan base right now. You know, people who want to take quarterback, people who want to take either Travis Hunter or Abdul Carter. That's, that's basically the split people who want trade down to get Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter mixed in, in there as well.

Usually if you're a trade down person, you tend to side with the defensive guys. Like if you're an independent, you, you tend to lean towards the, uh, Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter side. Most of the people who want quarterback in the draft aren't work or aren't willing to risk trading down in the draft and still trying to get the quarterback. I agree with that. If the Tennessee Titans want one of the quarterbacks, take them at number one. Do not play around with your food and risk losing a guy that you really, really like

to try to be greedy and pick up some extra picks. I want the Titans to trade down. I want the Titans to go with one of the better non-quarterback prospects. But if you love one of the quarterbacks, do not play with your food. Like I saw someone proposed that the Titans trade down to number three with the Giants and still pick Cam Ward. I'm sorry, but if you like Cam Ward enough to take him at number three, you cannot risk losing him. And the other way, if you're willing to risk losing him and dropping down to three, you don't like him enough to take him at three anyway. So that's how I feel about that. But the quarterback pushers are going with a new tactic to try to diminish Abdul Carter. And it's that he's a Philadelphia

Eagles fan. He has said before, he wants to play for the Eagles. He roots for the Eagles. He was excited that they won the Super Bowl, all of that. So now, now what people are doing is they're saying, well, you can't take Abdul Carter because in four or five years when he's a free agent, he's going to the Eagles immediately. He's going to leave and go to the Eagles.

And I'm sorry, but I think that that is an insane thing to worry about. That is you're telling me that you would pass on the best player available to you Because he's a fan of an NFL team because he wore an Eagles jacket when they won the championship Is that what we're saying now Because I promise you I promise you That Abdul Carter is not the first nor will he be the last to have a favorite NFL team. Like I just wonder, do people think that when you're six years old and you first start playing football that you say to yourself, well, I'm going to go to the NFL.

So I can't have a favorite NFL team because you know, the fans of the team that I get drafted to, they won't like that. Do you think that all of these players say, I'm a big Tennessee Titans fan. I'm going to play for the Titans. The first chance I get Tom Brady is in a San Francisco 49ers fan. It's well known. He is a big 49ers fan. Did he ever play for the 49ers? No. Like, just think about it logically. You know, it just doesn't make any sense as a deterrent to draft Abdul Carter to say that he's a big Philadelphia Eagles fan. Will he play for the Philadelphia Eagles in his career? Potentially. Seems like a good, it seems like a logical move a veteran would make at the end of his career. But here's the thing. Will the Eagles have cap space at that time?

Will Abdul Carter even want to make that move? What if he comes to the Titans, he's one of the best edge rushers in the entire NFL, he buys a house, he starts a family, he gets a big time contract. He's intentionally going to turn down life-changing money prior to year four, prior to year three, prior to year five, so that he can hold out that entire time and make sure that he goes to Philadelphia. Think about what a player would have to do to actually do that.

When has that ever been something that you've ever heard of? Like it's insane. You know, it's insane. Again, do you do people think that none of these NFL players have a favorite team? If NFL players did everything in their career based on getting back to play for the team that they liked growing up. Then it would be obvious that if a Tennessee Titans fan comes to the Titans as a player, the Titans social team puts that everywhere. Everybody knows. So like, I just think it's a silly thing. And I made a meme the other day. I don't remember if I meant to, if I posted it yet, but I will. I'll post it when I post this episode on all the socials and stuff.

But to me, anybody who is realistically arguing with you that Abdul Carter is a Philadelphia Eagles fan, therefore the Tennessee Titans should not draft him because you may lose him in five years. In 2030, you may lose him. To me, all that is, is that's the Scooby Doo meme. That's, you know, the villain at the end of the Scooby Doo show. When you take off the mask and find out who they really are. This looks like Abdul Carter is going to go to the Philadelphia Eagles if we draft him. But when you take off the mask, what it really looks like is I want the Titans to draft quarterback. Okay, that's fine. If you want to be on team draft quarterback, I don't think that's crazy.

I don't think it's insane to want a quarterback. I don't think it's insane for the Titans to draft a quarterback. Number one, I don't think it's nuts. But to try to act like Abdul Carter being a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles means he's worse of an option at number one than one of the quarterbacks is just asinine. That's all that matters at the end of the day. It's, it's an insane argument to make. It's an insane piece of evidence to try to present to the jury. And, um, it's being thrown out by me, the judge of all takes and all things tight. But with that being said, that is going to do it for our conversation on Abdul Carter, um, and the pass rush. Abdul Carter and the pass rush.

I do want to talk about some topical, timely news as Aaron Rogers, who I just talked about this week, will officially part ways with the New York jets.

Let's cap off today's edition of the Locked on Titans podcast. We've talked about why I think the pass rush is actually the quickest way to turn the Tennessee Titans around as a franchise We've talked about why I think the pass rush is actually the quickest way to turn the Tennessee Titans around as a franchise. We talked about why it's silly to think Abdul Carter being a fan of the Eagles makes him a worst pick for the Titans. But now I want to talk about a quarterback option.

And I know that we've talked a ton about veteran quarterback options lately. And I've talked a ton about Aaron Rodgers, but, but on Thursday, the New York jets officially put out a statement saying that they will be parting ways with Aaron Rogers. Now they said parting ways. They didn't say that they were going to release him. They didn't say that they were going to trade him. They didn't say, but they said that they plan to part ways.

And now immediately what the jets are going to do is they're going to see if anybody would trade for Aaron Rogers. Can they get a draft pick back? Somebody take his salary on all of that. Is that possible? What they're going to find out quickly is no, that's not possible. Nobody's giving a draft pickup for 41 year old Aaron Rogers and nobody wants to pay Aaron Rogers $37 million in his salary next year. Nobody's doing that. The Titans shouldn't do that. That shouldn't be the move going forward. I like Aaron Rogers is an option for the Titans, but in no way whatsoever do I want

to trade anything of value or anything at all. I'm not trading the Tennessee Titans washing machine for Aaron Rodgers. Quite frankly, I'm not doing a trade of any kind for any veteran bridge quarterback, whether that be Aaron Rodgers, Derek Carr, Matthew Stafford, Jesus Christ himself. I don't care. I'm not trading for a veteran quarterback. quarterback, whether that be Aaron Rodgers, Derek Carr, Matthew Stafford, Jesus Christ himself. I don't care. I'm not trading for a veteran quarterback. That's not what the Titans should do at this stage and where they are as an organization.

So I'm not doing that. No one else is going to do that. That is not going to happen. So what's going to happen is the New York Jets are going to have to release Aaron Rodgers and they're going to have to do it in a timely manner, probably sometime within the next three weeks. and once they do That he hits the open market the question becomes does Aaron Rodgers want to play football again next year? And if Aaron Rodgers answer is yes

I do want to play football next year then the answer the Titans should give when they are asked should we get Aaron Rodgers is Yes, because he makes all the sense in the world as a bridge quarterback for the Titans. I have continued to pound the table that what the Tennessee Titans cannot do is either trade draft capital for a veteran quarterback and they cannot give out big time money for a veteran quarterback like Sam Darnold or if another quarterback comes available that can maybe command a salary in that range, the Tennessee Titans can simply not do that. They are not in a win-now situation. They are not a win-now team.

And going out and trading a draft pick for Matthew Stafford, or going out and signing Sam Darnold to a $40 million per year contract is something that a win-now team would do that's ready to win, thinks their roster's ready to win, and they're a quarterback away. The Tennessee Titans are far from a quarterback away, and that is why at the beginning of the show, my argument was the Titans need to bolster the pass rush if they want to win as quick as possible and improve as quick as possible, because just simply adding a quarterback is simply not going to be enough to turn things

around and the Titans defense is something you can build on more. So when you think about Aaron Rodgers and you say, okay, I don't want to trade anything for him. Well, he's going to be released. And you think I don't want to give up anything that's punitive in the future, whether that be future draft capital or a financial commitment to a quarterback that won't make sense in a year. The one thing that avoids all of that is Aaron Rogers, because Aaron

Rogers obviously isn't going to make a longterm multi-year commitment because he's probably going to retire after the season. If it is his last season at all, he may retire anyway. So Aaron Rogers isn't going to expect nor command a longterm agreement from any team that he signs with. Not only that, but, but he could still potentially be a bridge guy to go with your young rookie quarterback.

If you decide to get a rookie quarterback, not only that, but Aaron Rogers, while not being the best version of Aaron Rogers, you look at what he was able to do at the back half of the season last year, you look at the statistics that he put up, Aaron Rogers is still an average starting quarterback in the NFL, even at his age. So whether you want to bring back Will Levis, whether you want to draft a rookie quarterback, number one overall, bringing in Aaron Rodgers makes a ton of sense because again, you don't have to make a long-term financial commitment. It gives you flexibility to still add a young

player. Whether you keep Levis around, you add a rookie quarterback, or if you don't want to add a quarterback at all and you want to add a rookie quarterback next year, Aaron Rogers isn't going to prevent you from doing so. So you keep your draft capital, you keep your financial flexibility, you keep your ability to mentor a young quarterback or whatever you want to do with the other quarterback spot on the roster. And I know some people are concerned about Aaron Rogers personality, but I don't think that the Aaron Rogers we saw at the end of his Green Bay tenure and the beginning of his Jets tenure is the Aaron Rogers that we're going to get if he comes to Tennessee for his final season. I think we're going to see a peaceful Aaron Rogers that isn't interested with controlling the organization. I think Aaron Rogers would openly court not having control. I think Aaron Rodgers would like to just be part of a system and part of a team and part of an organization. He knows that he's not going to win a Super Bowl if he plays for the Titans in the last year of his career. So instead of being so gung-ho about doing things his way, having the offense his way, signing former players that he likes to play with, instead of doing all that, Aaron Rodgers would kind of just want to enjoy the process, play football, be as competitive as possible, maybe mentor a young guy to repair his public relations image. I think that Aaron Rodgers

from a personality standpoint would be totally different in his final season with the Tennessee Titans than he would be in his last years at Green Bay and his early tenure with the New York Jets because simply his mindset and his expectations and his goals would be different this year than they then they Have the last couple of seasons Maybe that's a little optimistic by me And if somebody wanted to respond and say Tyler to think that Aaron Rodgers would ever act differently regardless of the situation is naive I would tell you that that would be fair Maybe I am being naive because I think the other parts of his fit with the Titans makes so much sense. Now, again, I have said this. I have heard

that Aaron Rodgers is not an option for the Tennessee Titans and that they would not be interested. I would say, okay, that's perfectly fine if that's how they feel. But who's the other option? Because right now you look, Sam Donald, I don't want to make that future financial commitment. One of the rookie quarterbacks, I'd be okay with that. But is Brian Callahan really going to try to save his job with a rookie quarterback, especially I think cam ward is the only guy worthy of going with the number one pick in the draft.

I think Chedur Sanders isn't even going to go in the top 10 at this point. We're starting to see, you know, the feelings there and the reality there kind of bear out that he's more of a EJ manual Kenny Pickett range. So if Cam Ward is the only real quarterback option at number one overall, that's fine, but Cam Ward is kind of a gung ho gunslinger. And that's what Will Levis was too. I'm not saying that their games are exactly similar, but I'm saying they do have some similar worries when it comes to their game and

their hero ball And their ability to put you know, the ball and harm's way at the end of the day So is brian callahan really going to try to save his job with cam ward when I think shinder sanders is a better fit I have questions. So if it's not one of the rookies in the draft and it's not Sam donald who is a better option than er Rogers, Kurt Cousins, Russell Wilson, Derek Carr doesn't look like he's going to become available. I thought that Derek Carr would become available and Aaron Rogers wouldn't. And it might be the other way around.

So if there's no Derek Carr on the menu, now you have Aaron Rogers, Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson, Russell Wilson, isn't a very good fit for what Brian Callahan wants to do with the precision timing passing. It's never been Russell Wilson isn't a very good fit for what Brian Callahan wants to do with the precision timing passing. It's never been Russell Wilson's game. Kirk Cousins could do that, but after watching his velocity dip last year and his mobility crater last year, you think he's gonna improve? I know that two years away from the injury, people usually get better, but he's still 37 years old.

And if the Atlanta Falcons are getting rid of Kirk Cousins because they want to go to Michael Penick's, why would the Titans think that Kirk Cousins is anything more than a backup quarterback at this stage in his career? So again, Russell Wilson, not a fit. I think Aaron Rodgers is a better player than Kirk Cousins. If Brian Callahan is trying to save his job and get some wins, you go pass rush early in the draft and you bring in Aaron Rodgers. And I think that gives you the best opportunity to maximize wins in 2025,

while also setting yourself up better for the future. And after that, I know that not everybody agrees, but again, looking at all the options available and what the smartest path forward is, if you don't want the Titans to draft a quarterback, there are realities that you have to accept. If you're screaming at your screen right now, just draft a quarterback, just draft a quarterback, just draft realities that you have to accept. If you're screaming at your screen right now, just draft a quarterback, just draft a quarterback, just draft a quarterback. I acknowledge that and I respect that opinion.

I just don't think that that's the right thing for the Titans to do. And outside of that, if I told you that the Titans are not drafting a rookie quarterback, what would be the best option? And to me at this point in time, it's Aaron Rodgers. But with that being said, that's going to do it for me today, folks. That's going to do it for this week of Locked on Titans.
