Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee Titans - Tennessee Titans T'Vondre Sweat was NERVOUS, O-Line Performs 'Top to Bottom' & Backer Breakouts

Episode Date: August 11, 2024

The Tennessee Titans won their first preseason game of the year against the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday, but rookie T'Vondre Sweat was rather quiet. Head coach Brian Callahan admitted the rookie w...as nervous, but also correctly pointed out some good things as well. Sweat should only get better going forward. Next, the offensive line was surprisingly solid in the victory and this is only their first attempt with a brand new crew. Finally, the linebackers all were incredible for the Titans, but the pass rush needs to do it's part as well as the season continues.GET SUBSCRIBED for year round Tennessee Titans film content!!Subscribe to the TicTacTitans Film Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@TicTacTitansTicTacTitans Merchandise: https://dixons-dream.square.site/shop/tictactitans-gear/C3AAPNWXSXA6SBYG3USV2I7R?page=1&limit=30&sort_by=category_order&sort_order=ascFollow Tyler on Twitter @TicTacTitansFollow the show on Facebook @LockedOnTitansPodSubscribe to the Locked On Titans YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/c/LockedOnTitans/videosFor your next listen, check out the Locked On Fantasy Football podcast.

Starting point is 00:00:00 Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said rookie Tavondre Sweat was nervous against the 49ers. But that doesn't mean that it was all bad. I'll break down the rookie's performance on today's edition of the Locked on Titans podcast. You are Locked on Titans, your daily Tennessee Titans podcast.

Starting point is 00:01:02 Talked about it as well, saying that Sweat was nervous, but doesn't mean it was all bad. Also, this Titans offensive line looked very much improved, at least with the first team. So we'll go over the individual performances there. Also, the linebackers were the breakouts in the game on Saturday night,
Starting point is 00:01:19 but that isn't all good either. So I'll explain all that before I get into it. Do want to thank you guys for making the Locked on Titans podcast your first listen each and every day. Remember, Monday through Friday, Tennessee Titans content all year round, always for free.

Starting point is 00:01:42 Speaking of every day, shout out to my everydayers out there tuning in Monday through Friday. Couldn't do it without you guys. If you want an everydayer, you need to be one. Also, if you're watching on YouTube, make sure you throw a thumbs up on the video. Throw a Titan up down in the chat. With all that being said, let's talk about Tavondre Sweat. Again, I want to start with a quote from Titans head coach Brian Callahan
Starting point is 00:02:02 talking about Sweat on Sunday. He said, quote, he was nervous to start the game. He kind of settled in a bit as it went on. He was active. Didn't make any splash plays or anything, but kind of rotated him through, and it was good for him to feel that everybody in the NFL is big and strong, and he's going to have to do a lot of things technically that need to get improved. So that part was good for him.
Starting point is 00:02:25 It was a good learning experience for him. You still felt him. He still took up double teams. He was still disrupting the line of scrimmage. And he held the point of attack. And that was all good things to see. Positive first start. And look, it would be easy to get up here and talk about, you know,
Starting point is 00:02:44 how Sweat didn't make a huge impact because quite honestly, it was a quiet game. You look at the pro football focus grades, he got a 48.5, which was 29th out of 32 people. But I want to point out that five of the 12 plays that he was out there, he got a double team. So there were some people that were just trying to argue that his performance was good because of the amount of double teams. Five of 12, that's not every play, but basically half of the plays that he was out there, he was getting double teamed.
Starting point is 00:03:17 And when you think about how that translates to the regular season and when you have a Jeffrey Simmons and you have a Harold Landry next to him, well, obviously you can't double team everybody. And in my opinion, and I've been saying this quite a bit since the game, if you had to choose between double teaming a two-time All-Pro, $100 million player in Jeffrey Simmons, or double teaming a rookie second rounder, you're probably going to double team Jeffrey Simmons,
Starting point is 00:03:40 which is going to give Tavondre Sweat even more opportunities to get one-on-ones. And we know from what we've seen in training camp so far, or reported in training camp so far at least, that he should be able to win a good majority of those one-on-one reps. Now, we do have to be honest. There were some where he lost one-on-one reps. He was just one-on-one, and he simply did not beat his man. But there were other situations, which I will point out,
Starting point is 00:04:05 where he did beat his man, and he got good push into the backfield and drove his man five yards deep. And also, I would say that based on what I've seen so far, San Francisco ran away from Tavondre Sweat quite a bit. So if you're not on the front side of the play, you're not play side, we're obviously not going to double team you there. So obviously, I'm somebody who has been critical of the Tavondre Sweat draft pick, but I just don't think that you look at preseason game one and use that as an opportunity to act like, you know, we should be concerned or we
Starting point is 00:04:35 should be worried about Tavondre Sweat whatsoever. He did look a little bit tired at the end of that first drive by San Francisco, but this is what we should expect. It's not just like you play two weeks of training camp and then all of a sudden you're going to be in perfect shape. Talk about the difference between practice shape and game shape. Now, J.C. Latham, Titans left tackle, did say that the Titans have a good habit of practicing faster in practice than the games actually go, which is a great practice habit because then obviously you're going to be more prepared
Starting point is 00:05:04 for the speed of the game. But if we're going to say that Tavondre Sweat deserves time to get into shape, then you have to give him a game in the preseason as well. So while I would have wanted to see more, I'm not going to sit here and act like we shouldn't have seen more. As Brian Callahan said it himself, no splash plays. The reports in training camp of what Sweat has been doing, we didn't get a glimpse of that on Saturday night. And I think it's fair to say
Starting point is 00:05:35 that you were hoping to see a glimpse of that greatness that we've heard about in practice. You were hoping to at least see a flash of that. Like, I just wanted a little bit to see it, like the rep from J.C. Latham on the Will Levis big hit at the goal line. Like, Latham dominated on that rep the same way that you expected him to do after watching his tape in college.
Starting point is 00:05:55 I wanted to see something out there, and there wasn't really, there's not really anything to, like, latch on to in terms of, hey, that was a big play. Like, that was a good play even. So I get that, you know, it's okay to be slightly disappointed and want to see more. But everything that we just talked about, not having Jeff, not having Landry out there, all the splash plays that we hear about
Starting point is 00:06:16 in practice, he does have those guys next to him. So to me, again, I think it's completely fair if you're a Tennessee Titans fan and you say, hey, I would have liked to see something, but also I'm not insanely disappointed at the same time. Like, I know that nowadays culture, especially in sports coverage, you're not allowed to have nuance and you're not allowed to kind of be in the middle of things. You either got to have, you know, this hot take here or defend people in a crazy way here. But I think the only logical reaction to Sweat's performance last night is, hey, I would have liked to have seen something, but it doesn't mean that everything that we've
Starting point is 00:06:54 heard so far was wrong. And I think that I've seen enough, enough people go both ways of pretending like it was a good performance from Sweat. and then also people who are maybe trying to take it too far the other way as well. So it's one preseason game for the rookie without most of the important people to him most, the defensive line out there. So, and also the final point that I want to make here is that Devondre Sweat is still a rookie. I understand we've all gotten really high off the training camp reports.
Starting point is 00:07:28 And I'm not telling you that you shouldn't be very excited. I have admitted my excitement. I am excited about watching Devondre Sweat after what we've heard he's been doing in Titans training camp. How could you not be? So I get if you were excited and then didn't really, you know, get to feel that excitement last night. But you got to keep some things in mind. Even though everyone is hyping Tavondre Sweatup, he is still a rookie.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Simmons and Landry aren't out there. And it was his first preseason game ever. So just saying it's okay to be in the middle. That's all I'll say there. But we got to talk about this Tennessee Titans offensive line because according to Brian Callahan, they performed well from top to bottom. Before we get into that, though, I do want to let you guys know that today's episode is brought to you by LinkedIn Jobs.

You don't got to be to one extreme or the other. Now I want to talk about this offensive line. Before I do that, I do want to let you guys know, tomorrow, we're going to be looking at the big questions for the Titans going into next week.
Starting point is 00:10:06 We're going to look at some of the more film-related topics that I want to get into as well as I break down the film over the next 24 hours or so. Going to bring all of that knowledge to you guys. And then on Tuesday night show, Wednesday morning, for my podcast crowd, my commuters out there in the AM, we are going to be previewing joint practices with the Seattle Seahawks and what I'm looking for there and what the questions are there for the AM. We are going to be previewing joint practices with the Seattle Seahawks
Starting point is 00:10:25 and what I'm looking for there and what the questions are there for the Titans. And then, obviously, we'll be recapping those joint practices on the last two episodes of the week. So, again, make sure that you get subscribed. Stay subscribed. It's your team every day. All right. So, talking about this offensive line,
Starting point is 00:10:42 Brian Callahan said himself that this offensive line performed well from top to bottom. And especially at the top with the first string and a little bit of the second string offensive line as well. So I really just want to talk about some of these performances. We'll start with J.C. Latham. So J.C. Latham said after the game that he would give himself a C. All right. That would be his grade for himself. And I got to be honest with you. I think I would fully agree with him. Uh, if you look at what he was able to do out there, there were some good pass pro reps where we was able to get hands on guys, but there were some bad pass pro reps too, where he really
Starting point is 00:11:21 got pushed back further than you would expect. He wasn't really able to pop guys with his hands like he was known for coming out of college. But he seemed pretty aware of that. Overall, though, he got great movement in the run game. He was able to push some guys around. Excuse me. Had a 68, still dying,.0 pass block grade in the game. But gave up zero pressures., gave up zero sacks. And I think for Titans fans, at least,
Starting point is 00:11:51 when you look at the left tackle play over the last few years, if you watch JC Latham and you watch the Titans first team offense for those, you know, 12, 14 plays, that they were actually in the game, Will Levis wasn't getting immediately pressured from the left side. Will Levis had the opportunity to step up and make throws. He had time to sit in there and make throws. That play where he eventually scrambled and got popped,
Starting point is 00:12:14 he had so much time in the pocket. It was truly incredible to see from a Titans fan perspective, especially after going over the last few years of offensive tackle play. So, J.C. Latham, I'm not going to sit up here and tell you that it was perfect. It's kind of similar to me to the Tavondre Sweat situation. The only difference is when I say it about Sweat, everybody's mad. When I say it about Latham, everybody agrees. You can tell me why that is that way.
Starting point is 00:12:38 You know, whatever. But there's much more room for improvement there. But also, you see kind of what can be. Some of these double teams where he hit the hip of the defensive lineman, it is literally exactly what he did for Alabama in college. And he gets so much displacement on some of these double teams. It's incredible.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Now, I will say that there were a few plays where he needs to climb up to the second level, and he simply did not. He didn't do it. It's kind of a mental error, because usually if he's blocking down on a double team, you would think maybe there would be a puller coming in behind, but there is no puller, and it looks like he's just supposed to climb up to the second level, and he just doesn't do it. So I think some of the timing stuff for him of, oh, this is how long I'm up to the second level and he just doesn't do it. So I think some of the timing stuff for him of, oh, this is how long I'm on the double team. Then I got to climb to the next level. That's what I got to do.
Starting point is 00:13:32 I think some of that stuff definitely needs to improve. But again, first NFL action for a rookie. Like, I'm pretty happy with what he was able to do out there. Skowronski just looked awesome. 79.3 pass blocking grade, second highest on the Titans offensive line. Again, zero pressure, zero sacks. I mean, you look at the whole first team offensive line, zero pressures and zero sacks the whole time. Two drives, not a pressure, not a sack. Is this life now? Like, what do we do here? Now, I'm sure that there will be ups and downs, and they were going against San Francisco's kind of backup defense.
Starting point is 00:14:09 There were a couple maybe starting-level players out there, but mostly the backup defense. So we're not going to freak out. But, I mean, honestly, other fans of other teams probably would not understand. But if you're a Titans fan and have been watching these games the last few years, I don't care who they're going against. Any, if Andre Dillard and Jalen Duncan
Starting point is 00:14:30 were out there, or Dennis Daly was out there, they wouldn't have given up zero sacks and zero pressures, even against a second team defense. So, I don't really care about people, oh, it's just the preseason. This is a good development, okay? So, Skowronski was really good in
Starting point is 00:14:46 this game. Cushenberry as well. Dylan Radins tied Peter Skowronski with a 79.3 pass blocking grade. He was pretty efficient there. That's what you would expect I guess. And then MPF you know, it wasn't perfect either but again, looked very much improved
Starting point is 00:15:01 from what we saw from him last year. There were great moments. MPF had some really good run blocking. Like he really had some good run blocks. Tony Pollard's big play. He had a good run block as we talked about on yesterday's show. So just really impressed with the first group on the offensive line. And all of them really performed well.
Starting point is 00:15:20 I mean, again, it wasn't perfect. But like, how can you bat an eye at it? You know, and even you go to the second string offensive line, I thought Garron Christian did a pretty good job at left tackle, but really on the interior. Daniel Brunskill and Andrew Rupsch played very well as backup guys on the interior, and I'm to the point where I think both
Starting point is 00:15:44 of those guys have a good chance to make this roster. Now that Sadiq Charles is gone. I like, I just think the, the Titans offensive line depth is too important this year. I would keep nine offensive linemen and Brian Callahan even pointed out Andrew Rupsich afterwards and said him and Daniel Brunskill played very well,
Starting point is 00:16:00 especially Andrew Rupsich. Andrew Rupsich had an 82.2 pass blocking grade, which was the best on the team, and he had 17 pass blocking reps, which was a lot. I mean, the first string offensive line only had five, and Rupschitz had 17 with zero pressures and zero sacks in the highest pass blocking grade. So, you know, small sample size still, but bigger sample size than we saw from the first string, and then he had an 83 run blocking grade two, which was the best. I mean, Rupcich had a good game. I'm very excited to look at his performance,
Starting point is 00:16:31 and I think I'm going to do kind of an individual deep dive into Andrew Rupcich later this week on the Tic Tac Titans film channel, which you can subscribe to with the link down below in the description. So overall, again, like Brian Callahan said, top to bottom, this offensive line performed pretty well. I believe they only gave up one sack, period. And it was when Malik Willis was in the game. No sacks for Mason Rudolph or Will Levis.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Like, again, it's hard to believe. It's absolutely hard to believe. But with the offensive line performance and Tavondre Sweat in the books, now let's talk about these Tennessee Titans linebackers because they had a fantastic performance as well, a lot of them. And you could tell by the grading as well, which we'll get into. But it's not as good as maybe it sounds. And I'll explain why before I get into it, though.
Starting point is 00:17:22 And I'll explain why before I get into it though. Do want to let you guys know that today's episode is brought to you by eBay Motors. Passion. Drive. Patience.

Starting point is 00:18:42 Titans fans! Let's cap off today's edition of the Locked on Titans podcast. We talked about Devondre Sweat, talked about the offensive line. Now I want to talk about the Tennessee Titans linebackers. As a reminder on tomorrow's show, I'm going to be looking at some of the more holistic stuff from the Tennessee Titans offense and defense. Wanted to kind of hold off on those conversations until I got to watch the tape so I can actually chart the plays and understand exactly what they were trying to do out there.
Starting point is 00:19:07 Feel like that's important information. And then on the next episode of this week, we're going to preview joint practices with the Seattle Seahawks. My last two episodes of the week, of course, we'll be breaking down those. I'll have a bonus episode on Friday night with a preview of the preseason game. And then I'll be live again after Saturday night's preseason game, just like I was this week. We're not slowing down here on the Locked on Titans podcast. game, and then I'll be live again after Saturday night's preseason game, just like I was this week.
Starting point is 00:19:28 We're not slowing down here on the Locked on Titans podcast, so thank you for making the Locked on Titans podcast your first listen each and every day.

You'll find that on Locked on Fantasy Football, part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day. But looking at the linebackers, it's funny if you look at the pro football focus grades.
Starting point is 00:19:52 And look, pro football focus grades don't mean anything. They're just a good baseline. It's how I feel about analytics in football. It's not the end-all, be-all. You can't look at a pro football focus grade and be like, oh, that player played bad because the grade says so. You've got to match that up with what you see on tape as well. It's got to be a combination. But like analytics and football decision-making, it is a piece of the puzzle. Look, I am a guy who will say the head coach needs to read the game. You can't just do
Starting point is 00:20:19 the same thing in every situation. If I have not been running the ball very well in short yardage situations, I probably won't go for it on fourth and one where I need to run the ball. I would probably either pass or not go for it. Like you got to read game to game, but the analytics need to be a piece of the puzzle. Hey, success rate is this percentage when teams go for it. This is how it changes when projection stuff like that. Like it's got to be a piece of the puzzle. So just wanted to say that, but you look at the pro football focus grades on defense for the Titans and four out of the top five, Keiondre Coburn was number one, Titans interior defensive lineman. So good to see that. But four out of the five were inside linebackers. Chance Campbell, 83.7.
Starting point is 00:21:06 James Williams, the rookie, 81.9. Kenneth Murray, 80.4. Otis Reese, 80.2. And remember, a 60 grade is an average grade. So really good performances from all of those inside linebackers. And Brian Callahan even said about James Williams, I don't think he knows how good he can be yet because he's transitioning from a safety um so I'm very excited about this inside
Starting point is 00:21:34 linebacker group and again we're going to talk about the defense more holistically tomorrow when I have the opportunity to to break down the tape and it crazy. Right before I went to record this episode, got the tape. So very excited to spend my Sunday night and all Monday breaking down this tape and getting videos ready for you guys for the Tic Tac Titans film channel. But in this Denard Wilson defense, where they're going to bring pressure from the linebacker spot consistently, it's just going to be very, very important that the linebackers play well.
Starting point is 00:22:04 And to see the starting linebacker, the second string linebacker, two young linebackers we're excited about in Otis Reese and James Williams play the way that they did and be able to execute the idea of that. Do you know how important that is that, Hey, our scheme is going to be dependent on bringing pressure from different places like the safeties and the linebackers. Well, that sounds great, but if you don't have linebackers that can actually execute that because they don't have skill sets that match up with that, well, it's going to be pretty difficult to get the best version of your defense. And the Titans linebackers all look like they have the skill sets necessary to do it. Chance Campbell was an incredible athlete coming out of college. Like he had great athletic testing scores. People are mad about Jack Gibbons all the time. Cause
Starting point is 00:22:49 he's not a great athlete. I always remember talking about these guys, like they're very rookie season, like Gibbons and chance. Campbell will be looked at that. You'll just look at them and you'll be like, Oh, they're probably similar. But they're very different. Gibbons is more of an instinctual player. He's a guy with great length and stuff like that. Where you look at Chance Campbell, he is a very good athlete. He did have good testing scores. So it makes sense that in this style of defense, Campbell would look better than Jack Gibbons.
Starting point is 00:23:24 It's crazy to think that Gibbons is clearly, people would think Gibbons is clearly ahead of Campbell, but Campbell was the 6th round draft pick that year, and Gibbons was an undrafted free agent. Think about that. I would not be surprised if Chance Campbell was able to take over for Jack Gibbons at some point in the season. You know what I mean? I don't think that's incomprehensible to see happen. Now, Otis Reese and James Williams, cannot wait to watch the tape on those guys
Starting point is 00:23:52 because they were absolutely flying around. And like I said, Brian Callahan even pointed out James Williams, thought he played well, and said he doesn't even know how good he can be yet. I think that they're so, so high on what James Williams can do. I mean, Rancard Thawne, again, made a name for himself. I'm going to make a name for myself here, if you guys catch that reference. But made a name for himself in the front office by finding late round linebackers. That's something that he did very well and his team did very well. So very excited about that.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Now let me, just for a second, I don't want to rain on the parade. Good for the linebackers. But Titans need more out of the pass rush in general. Like all of the pressure the Titans got last night was from the linebackers. The majority of it. We didn't see any real pressure.
Starting point is 00:24:43 I think Rashad Weaver one time got close to a quarterback and knocked down a pass, right? Like he had a pass defended. But for the most part, not a lot of pressure off the edge. Brian Callahan admitted Jalen Harrell. They need to see more from him in the pass rush. Rashad Weaver, you would think that he would be dominating out there going against, you know, second and third string offensive linemen.
Starting point is 00:25:07 Simply didn't. Not a bad day, but simply didn't. So, I think that this happens every training camp. Getting reports about how good Jalen Harrell looks makes people, you know, and Shane Ray, makes people kind of forget this is still a need. And as I talked about with Arden Key, probably still getting suspended at some point.
Starting point is 00:25:33 I wouldn't have liked this before the Arden Key suspension, but with it coming, maybe Yannick Ngakwe, maybe you give him a call. I believe Carl Lawson still available over the weekend. I didn't see him sign anywhere. If he did over the weekend, maybe he did. I didn't see it. I saw him work out somewhere. It was Dallas, and I believe there's another workout.
Starting point is 00:25:51 But, you know, I'm still in favor of maybe bringing in a free agent edge. Like, I'm just not ruling that out because Brian Callahan said it, and I agree.
