Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the Locked on Titans podcast. I am your host, Tyler Rowland. Titans fans, on today's show, we are going to dive back into a mailbag. I'm going to be answering your guys' questions before Tennessee Titans training camp. We're going to talk about all kinds of things on today's show. Number one, what are the biggest questions heading in to Tennessee Titans training camp? Also, who are some roster bubble guys around the NFL that could be options for the Titans if they're cut by their team?
Starting point is 00:00:33 I'll go into my list. And a potential reunion with Julio Jones? I don't think so. All of that and more on a mailbag edition of the Locked On Titans podcast. Let's get it. You are Locked On Titans, your daily Tennessee Titans podcast, part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day. Titans fans, it is a Monday mailbag edition of the Locked on Titans podcast, or a mailbag Monday edition. Scratch that.
Starting point is 00:01:24 Reverse it. Either way, it is brought to you by BetOnline. BetOnline has you covered this season with more props, odds, and lines than ever before. BetOnline, where the game starts. Also, I got to thank you guys for making the Locked on Titans podcast your first listen every day. If this is your first ever listen to the Locked on Titans podcast, make sure you subscribe on whatever platform you do stream. I am going to be putting out daily, Monday through Friday,
Starting point is 00:01:49 Tennessee Titans content all year round. And with that being said, we are back to five shows per week, starting next week, the rest of this week on the Locked on Titans podcast. We're going to have a little bit of a 2023 look ahead, look at free agency, the salary cap for next all season, just to get a little peek at what could be coming down the pike for the Titans. Also, we're going to do an episode focused on gambling with player props, Titans over under for the season.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Look at some early lines for some games as well. So a lot of content coming up this week. And then, of course, kicking off next week, we're getting you guys ready to go for training camp. We're going to have a position-by-position preview. Also going to be doing some talent tiers with the Titans roster as we discuss how they should put things together. So a lot coming. Make sure you stay locked in to the Locked on Titans podcast.
Starting point is 00:02:37 But as for today's show, like I said, we are doing a mailbag. I'm going to be answering your guys' questions not only from Twitter but also from the chat on YouTube. So let's dive right in here. The number one question that I wanted to get into was sent to me here by Dooney Daputi. Shout out to you. He said, what are your biggest questions heading into Titans training camp? What are you looking for in training camp to ease those concerns? So for me, the number one question for the Titans heading into training camp is, I mean, there are more buzzy conversations to be had, which I'll talk about. But for me, it's about who's going to start at left guard. We basically know all the starters on the defensive side of the ball.
Starting point is 00:03:19 We know pretty much all the starters on offense except right tackle. But I think we have a good inkling right now that Dylan Radins is going to be given the opportunity to play right tackle for the Titans, at least early on in the season to see how it goes. It's that left guard position that I think is the most intriguing to watch. Jamarco Jones and Aaron Brewer,
Starting point is 00:03:38 we know are battling it out for that. Could the Titans potentially bring in a guy like Eric Flowers, who I talked about last week, who I think could be a good option to compete there? Could they do something totally crazy and eventually move Raidens to left guard and have Nicholas Petit-Ferrer start at right tackle? That left guard position is the most intriguing, biggest question for me heading into Titans training camp. Besides that, can Traylon Burks bounce back from a rough start to the early phase? Traylon Burks is going to be huge for the Titans this year,
Starting point is 00:04:06 so I'm watching that. And is Caleb Farley truly ready to start an outside corner? It's my opinion that Jack Rabbit Jenkins was one of the most underrated players on the Titans last year, one of the least appreciated players who deserved a little bit of credit. Can Caleb Farley really step in there and take over that starting corner spot? That's something that I'm going to be looking for. Next question here is, who are some, it comes from Kenneth.
Starting point is 00:04:33 He says, Texas Sports, he says, are there any receivers or O-line on roster bubbles you think would make a good pickup for the Titans? There are some huge surprises every year. So basically Kenneth's saying guys who get cut by other teams during training camp or before training camp, could they make sense for the Titans? And I have my eye on a few names that have been popping up in some articles lately about some cut candidates. And it's not necessarily just wide receiver and O-line. You look at a wide receiver, Darius Slayton from the New York Giants. I think he could make some sense for the Titans. I don't expect Robbie Anderson to get cut.
Starting point is 00:05:06 I know people are looking at trade options for him. I don't think he gets traded. I don't think he gets cut. But that would obviously be an option for the Titans. Maybe Marquise Goodwin, a speed guy, a track guy, playing with Seattle right now. Maybe he doesn't make it on their roster. Some guys, obviously, at offensive line,
Starting point is 00:05:22 a guy like Greg Van Roten could get cut. I still want to see Eric Flowers brought in if they do anything with a veteran at guard. Some guys on defense, though, that I've been seeing could be cut. Caleb on Chasen from Jacksonville, take a chance on a guy with a good pedigree as a high draft pick with a lot of talent who is probably in a bad situation for most of the beginning of his career. Malik Reid, a guy from Denver who kind of is more of a Danico Autry, Rashad Weaver type guy than a
Starting point is 00:05:50 pure edge rusher. He had 13 sacks over the last two seasons. Still a young guy. Malik Reid could make some sense. Dane Crookshank, I've heard some conversation and some rumors that Dane Crookshank may not make it on the Bears roster with the addition of Jaquan Brisker in the draft. If Dan Cruikshank is cut by the Bears at all, Titans absolutely need to bring Dan Cruikshank back. I think that would be an easy move. That would be like a Michael Pruitt, Queston Berry, Jeff Swaim situation where they bring back a guy who they've known, who they've seen around.
Starting point is 00:06:22 So I think that can make some sense as well. Moving forward here, I got a good question from Zachary Story. He says, in a doomsday scenario where the Tennessee Titans tank this season and Tannehill unravels or gets hurt, I think that's more likely, what are the chances we see Malik Willis in a significant capacity? Well, let me say this. If Tannehill gets hurt and the Titans just start losing games, there is no reason at all that Logan Woodside should be in over Malik Willis
Starting point is 00:06:49 if Tannehill gets hurt for a significant length of time. At that point in time, you are all in on developing the young guy. And honestly, I think Malik Willis gives the Titans a better chance to win than Logan Woodside right now. So either way, Malik Willis should absolutely see significant amount of playing time if something like that happens. If the Titans for some reason just aren't good, something goes wrong,
Starting point is 00:07:11 and they're, you know, 3-9 or something like that. I mean, at that point, if Tannehill is healthy and they're 3-9 or, you know, worse, 10-2 or whatever, something really bad, doomsday like you said, well, then you know you're not paying Ryan Tannehill 40-some million dollars next year because if you're going to pay him the highest cap hit of any quarterback in the NFL
Starting point is 00:07:33 and you're still going to be absolutely terrible, you're not paying for that again. So you might as well just put Malik Willis in at that point in time. But either way, we are going to continue answering your guys' mailbag questions. Very excited to kick off this week of the Locked On Titans podcast.

I got a couple of really great questions in here I'm ready to dive into. Before I do, I want to thank you guys again for making the Locked on Titans podcast
Starting point is 00:09:00 your first listen every day. Make sure you subscribe. Getting ready to go back to five days a week. I got a ton of content planned for you guys. Got a nice film project that I've been working on that I can't wait to tell you guys about. So a lot coming up. Make sure that you stay subscribed, free and available on all platforms. But diving into more of your guys' questions, question here from Kevin Schessventer, my guy, Kevin. He said, I listened to a couple of pods ranking general managers
Starting point is 00:09:25 and head coaches going into 2022. J-Rob and Vrabel have both been in the 8-10 range. Any general thoughts on that? Well, my general thoughts are that's exactly where they need to be. Unfortunately, John Robinson has had some major slip-ups that have hurt the Titans, and I think maybe in a narrow margin of error have kept them from taking that next step. The Isaiah Wilson thing, Vic Beasley for another, the Julio Jones miss.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Although I don't necessarily blame him for all of those decisions. I probably would have gone after Clowney and Vic Beasley. Well, not Vic Beasley, but I would have brought in Clowney. I would have done the trade for Julio Jones. I don't fault him. It didn't work out, but I don't think it was a bad idea on its face. Now the Isaiah Wilson draft pick, there's fault there, but either way, I think John Robinson's six winning seasons, three straight playoff appearances, AFC championship game, back-to-back division winner, had the onions to cut ties with Mike Malarkey and hire Mike
Starting point is 00:10:21 Vrabel, which was the right move, went and traded for Ryan Tannehill, all the draft picks that litter this roster that he's found. I think he should be a top 10 GM. And same thing with Vrabel, coach of the year last year. You know, I see all these rankings of rosters, all these publications putting out, you know, a ranking of how good all the rosters are in the NFL. And somehow the Titans are always in the 20s,
Starting point is 00:10:43 but yet they got the number one seed last year. They've been in the playoffs three years in a row. So if that is true and the roster is in the 20s, well then Mike Vrabel should be the best coach in the universe, right? If he takes that quality of roster to the playoffs every single year, right? Anyways, whatever. Yeah, I think they both should be ranked there. Kevin also said, chances Chigaconquo is more productive than Janu was with the Titans. Well, in Janu's rookie season, he had 18 catches, 157 yards, and two touchdowns. I don't know about the touchdowns.
Starting point is 00:11:15 I could see Chig getting about two touchdowns, but I think Chig could absolutely outproduce that. In Janu's career with the Titans, he had 114 catches, 1,300 yards, 17 touchdowns. I think Chigaconquo could double that. In Janu's career with the Titans, he had 114 catches, 1,300 yards, 17 touchdowns. I think Chigokonkwo could double that in his four years. I absolutely do. I think Chig is off to a great start and may have some more wiggle and more natural catching ability than Janu had early in his career. So I think Chigokonkwo absolutely could outproduce Jonu, not only in his rookie year, not only just in his time with the Titans,
Starting point is 00:11:49 but overall, I think that absolutely could happen. Another question here from I Love You D Brown, produced by D Brown. Shout out him. D Brown, what up, dude? If Derrick Henry were to retire right now, who would be the next face of the team? I'm stuck between Kevin Bayard and Jeffrey Simmons. Well, I think just overall based
Starting point is 00:12:11 on what he's done in the community throughout years and the consistency, it'd have to be Kevin Bayard. He's just exactly what you want from a face of a franchise. But I mean, Jeffrey Simmons, probably one season away from being considered a better player than Kevin Byard, just because defensive line play, in my opinion, is so much more important. So I would go with Kevin Byard just because of how, I mean, Kevin Byard's my favorite Titan ever. I'm pretty convinced at this point.
Starting point is 00:12:38 So I'm going to go with KB on that, but good question there. Next, Lee Self says, why does Malik's struggles in college and regression as a passer not bother Titans fans? How much are we going to miss A.J. Brown? So two questions there. I'll go quickly. Well, because that's college, and a lot of guys who were amazing in college aren't amazing in the NFL, and a lot of guys who maybe weren't that great in college turn out to be
Starting point is 00:13:05 amazing in the NFL. So yeah, I think everybody, I don't, I wouldn't say that it doesn't bother Titans fans. I mean, he was the 86th pick a third rounder Titans fans are well aware that he's not a first round guy who's going to be right,
Starting point is 00:13:19 ready to play immediately. So I wouldn't say it doesn't bother people, but I think when you look at the value the Titans got at 86 and the traits and the upside that Malik Willis has, why would a Titans fan be worried about that at all? It's literally an incredibly low risk situation with high reward if Malik Willis hits. If not, then okay. It was the 86th pick in the draft. You move on, you keep trying, and there's a lot of good quarterbacks next year. So whatever.
Starting point is 00:13:46 I think the Titans are going to miss A.J. Brown a lot. People will say the production could be replaced, like the raw numbers and stats could be replaced. And I agree the raw numbers and stats could be replaced. But the impact on the field, the attention that A.J. Brown would take, those are things that I don't think can be replaced right now. Question from TitanUp69420. Nice.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Do you think our offense will look different this year, like play calls and formations, or will it be the same until they fire Todd Downing? I do. I think the Titans offense played a little bit too much three wide receiver last year. I think they're going to go back to much more heavy two tight end and three tight end personnel. I think they're going to go back to much more heavy, two tight end and three tight end personnel. I think they want to play that way,
Starting point is 00:14:27 but with the lack of talent at tight end last year, they couldn't. When Jeff Swaim is your number one tight end, it's kind of hard to play a lot of heavy tight end personnel. Anthony Ferkser couldn't block a soul. Swaim couldn't block a soul either, quite frankly, being asked to be the number one tight end. So I think with the upgraded talent,
Starting point is 00:14:44 with Hooper and Chika Konquo joining Jeff Swaim, I think that the Titans will play much more multiple tight end looks on offense, which will allow them to get back to their zone running plays. Last year, they started working in some more power and some more gap running plays to diversify. I think they need to go back to that zone heavy approach to help the play action bootleg, which kind of was faded out of the offense last year. So all that is kind of tied in together. Connor Meyerhofer said Titans wide receiver group is clearly less talented
Starting point is 00:15:12 this year compared to last year. Talent alone. Absolutely. However, last year, AJ Julio and Marcus Johnson were always hurt. Do you think the wide receiver core stays healthy this year? The Titans are better off. Again, when you add in all those names, my answer is yes, but just AJ alone, no, because AJ Brown demanded so much respect and attention that I think it's going to be hard for the Titans to replicate that. But overall, if you look at AJ Julio and Marcus Johnson, I think the Titans with Kyle Phillips, Traylon Burks, Robert Woods, Nick
Starting point is 00:15:43 Westbrook, Akina, or even if you take NWI out of that and you just look at Woods and Burks and Phillips, I think overall, yeah, they could probably match that and make the Titans better off from wide receiver two down. The Titans tell you guys about rockauto.com. rockauto.com is an online company that's been serving do-it-yourselfers for over 20 years. We all know now that the best way to shop is online because you're going to cut out the middleman. And if you go to an auto parts store, you're going to have to wait in line. You're going to have to maybe experience them not even having the part that you want.
Starting point is 00:16:24 And you got to wait for it to be shipped to you anyways. And then you got to come back to the store and the professional mechanic buying the exact same part that you need next to you at the other register is getting a better price just because you're a do-it-yourselfer. It's absolutely ridiculous. Never have that happen to you again. Go to rockauto.com right now. Amazing selection.
Starting point is 00:16:44 Reliably low prices. All the parts your car will ever need to rockauto.com right now. Amazing selection, reliably low prices, all the parts your car will ever need. rockauto.com Titans fans, we're going to cap off this mailbag edition of the Locked on Titans podcast by answering more of your guys' questions. You guys always bring some heaters, and you got a lot of them for me to get into here. Before we do, I want to thank you guys again for making the Locked on Titans podcast

I host the Thursday national show, so by subscribing to the Locked On NFL podcast, you're showing me some support and some love as well. So I definitely do appreciate that. But diving into more of your guys' questions, Akili says, can we expect better play calling on offense with Tim Kelly on board?
Starting point is 00:17:55 I think yes. In my opinion, Tim Kelly has shown a much better understanding and a much better ability to attack zone coverage in the passing game. That's where I really see the ability for Tim Kelly to help this offense, a more diversified route package for the Titans against different zone coverages, identifying when certain coverages are going to be ran. I thought last year in certain scenarios, Todd Downing just guessed wrong and ran a route combination that was supposed to go against cover three,
Starting point is 00:18:23 but the defense ran cover two, or he wanted to attack something against cover three, but the defense ran cover two, or he wanted to attack something against cover two, and the defense ran cover four. So hopefully Tim Kelly will be able to help in that way. Bartley Moyers says, do we really want one of these fringe wide receivers to make the team, or should we sign another vet? Also, are fans allowed to attend training camp this year? Bartley, I agree 100%.
Starting point is 00:18:43 I would take eight to10 games of Will Fuller over 17 games of Des Fitzpatrick, Josh Malone, Racey McMath, or Mason Kinsey. The reality is, as fans of the team, we're always higher on guys on the roster than we should be because they're on our favorite team and we want them to do well. And it would be awesome if a guy like Mason Kinsey turned into the next Julian Edelman or Wes Welker, Josh Malone became the next Josh Gordon, or we always want that crazy blow up superstar story. So we root for those guys. But the reality is most of these dudes who we get excited about who are UDFAs or guys
Starting point is 00:19:24 who were rejects on their rookie deal with other teams and getting a second chance at life. They normally don't work out. They just don't. So yeah, I would rather have a vet like Will Fuller, Kenny still something like that.
Starting point is 00:19:38 And then some of these other guys who are completely unproven Trenton, yawn says, what are your top three Titans players of all time? Can be recent or throwback. For me, it's Kevin Byard, Eddie George, and... God.
Starting point is 00:20:02 This is tough. Kevin Byard, Eddie George. Sucks the way it ended, because if he was still on the team, my answer would be A.J. Brown right now. But I'm going to go with Derrick Henry. Actually, Trenton said your top three plays of all time. Well, the Music City Miracle,
Starting point is 00:20:18 Steve McNair's shake-off, throw down the field in the Super Bowl was amazing. And then, man, you guys are killing me. These are tough questions. Derrick Henry's 99-yard touchdown run. So that's what I'm going to go with on that. See here. Oh, Dooney Dupouti, another question. If you do need a pootie.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Another question. Uh, if you get him cheaply, would you bring back Julio Jones? No, no, he doesn't practice enough. Um, I think the way he wants to live out his career is not the way the Titans want it done. So no, McAllen bell says, how was the outlook for the Titans offensive line? Have the Titans done anything to improve it? I mean, no. No, not really.
Starting point is 00:21:10 I think the outlook for the offensive line is cloudy. Curious to see how it works out. Losing Roger Saffold, and although Questenberry wasn't very good, we still don't know what we're going to get with Dylan Radins. I think Radins will be better than Questenberry at right tackle, but left guard. Roger Saffold didn't have a great year last year, but I'm not convinced that Jamarco Jones or Aaron Brewer is going to be an upgrade. That's why I'm pushing for Eric Flowers. Trey's 2K says, are we going to bring in another wide receiver option? Thoughts
Starting point is 00:21:38 on Darius Slayton or Robbie Anderson? I talked about both of those guys earlier in the show. I want to. Do I think they will, Trace? No, I do not. Kata, my guy Pablo, says, How much of a role do you think Miss Amy, Amy Adams Strunk, the Titans' controlling owner, has in resigning players? Talking from a cash payment angle, not the mere cap management. Pablo, I agree 100%. I think how much the Titans can pay.
Starting point is 00:22:03 And, you know, he mentioned not overpaying AJ. I think that's true. Same thing, Corey Davis, Johnnie Smith, letting them go. Sometimes it's not just about the cap ramifications. These guys get signing bonuses. They get money up front, guaranteed at signing, certain things like that. And certain owners in the NFL have more money up front to be able to pay those high guarantees than other players do.
Starting point is 00:22:25 So it isn't just about the salary cap management. Sometimes you do got to think about the real world. How much money does Amy Adams have to give these players up front? I think that does matter. And I think it did impact a situation like A.J. Brown and the guarantees that he got and like Corey Davis and John O. Smith and the deals that they got. I absolutely do think things like that impact roster building more than maybe people want
Starting point is 00:22:49 to admit or acknowledge. It sucks to hear that maybe Amy Adams Strunk doesn't have as much money as Stan Kroenke for the Rams. So maybe even if it was possible salary cap wise, there are certain deals that the Titans won't make because Amy Adams Strunk simply doesn't have the cash flow to give that much guaranteed money out in a certain situation. So I think that as a Lakers fan, it's crazy to hear this, but Jeannie Buss, the owner of the Lakers, isn't anywhere near as cash rich as a guy like Steve Ballmer, who owns
Starting point is 00:23:23 the Clippers with his Microsoft ties. And that hurts the Lakers. They gave up Alex Caruso for nothing because they didn't want to pay the luxury tax penalty because they didn't want to give out the actual cash flow because as owners they aren't as lucrative and as paid as some of the other billionaire owners like Joe
Starting point is 00:23:39 Laker from the Warriors or Mark Cuban the Allen family for the Portland Trailblazers. You know, that's just another example. So, yes, I think that does affect the Tennessee Titans. And, you know, I'm not saying Miss Amy's going to go in and say, no, I'm not paying that. But I think there are situations that John Robinson knows
Starting point is 00:23:58 that he can't get into from a money situation with guaranteed cash to throw around. So, another question here from Cody Weath. I thought it was a great one. Is Chris Johnson a Hall of Famer? Why or why not? Shout out to CJ. You know, I love Chris Johnson. He's awesome.
Starting point is 00:24:14 One of the most exciting Titans ever. But let's be honest here. He's 35th all time in career rushing yards with only 9,651. He only had five years of 1,000 yards or more. And although he had a big boom onto the scene in his first three seasons, three Pro Bowl appearances, one first-team All-Pro, of course, the 2,000-yard season, 11,906 total yards, 64 total touchdowns,
Starting point is 00:24:45 but again, 35th all-time, only five years over 1,000 yards, kind of a shooting star that burned out quickly, had his issues at the end of his career, and there are guys like Matt Forte, Clinton Portis, and Eddie George who aren't in the Hall of Fame who have more career rushing yards than Chris Johnson. He's just not a Hall of Famer. He's just not.
Starting point is 00:25:07 And for the record, for anyone wondering, Derrick Henry is 71st all time right now with around 6,000 career rushing yards. You see here, John the Joker, I see your FMK question. I'm not answering this. A family program. Aaron Freeman from Locked On Falcons. My
Starting point is 00:25:27 esteemed Locked On colleague says, Will Austin Hooper, Jawan Green, or Chris Williamson break the curse of ex-Falcons doing nothing for the Titans? I'm going to go with Austin Hooper breaking that curse. I don't know about Jawan Green or Chris Williamson though, but shout out Aaron Freeman.
Starting point is 00:25:45 Check out Locked on Falcons if you're interested in the Tennessee Titans further south. Let me see here. Last few questions. A little off the beaten path. Zach Clark says, if you could be an NFL commissioner for a day, what are three things you're changing? No restrictions
Starting point is 00:26:01 on what uniforms or helmets or whatever that you can use. Anything that you've had in your team's history is accessible to you. I would change the Washington Commanders to the Washington Pigskins. I'm going to continue to say that that is the move they should have made. And then I would make helmet-to-helmet penalties reviewable because they ruin the game. It sours people's taste on the game when you see a solid, violent hit that's legal get flagged for no reason. I think those should all be reviewable, and you should be able to review them quickly at the league office.
Starting point is 00:26:34 And then Michael Rowe, the last question here, said, What is your favorite movie in the Mighty Ducks trilogy? For me, it's D2 when they play in the Olympics. I like Mighty Ducks number two. So I want to get some of these questions in the chat. I know some people threw in some. EA Damiano said, Damiano, EA Damiano, I think that's right on my second one.
Starting point is 00:26:59 He says, how is Traylon Burks and Malik Willis looking? Malik's looking solid, but still, you know, a lot to work on. Traylon Burks, obviously, uh, disappointing start, uh, coming out of the draft and just not being in condition to practice fully with the Titans. We saw that practice video where he caught the touchdown for my 10 nail in the back of the end zone on the post. I thought he looked good, but he just hasn't been able to practice as much as you want. Um, ranked most likely team to take
Starting point is 00:27:26 a step back this year. Let's prove them wrong. Ryan McMorrow. Yeah, a lot of people are saying that the Titans are going to be that team that, you know, did real well last year. That's going to take a step back. Let's see any other questions.
