Tennessee Titans: The NFL's Running Back University

Tennessee Titans: The NFL’s Running Back University

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry entered week 17 needing 165 yards to eclipse Cleveland’s Nick Chubb as the 2019 rushing champion. Needing eight yards on the team’s final possession, Henry exploded for a 53 yard touchdown.

Pandemonium ensued on the sidelines.

Henry amassed 1,540 yards at a whopping 5.1 yards per attempt. But more impressive than the eye-popping numbers is the fact that…

Tennessee Titans: Tannehill can cement division title – redemption story with three more wins

Quarterback Ryan Tannehill can lead the Tennessee Titans to their first division title in over a decade, and cement his own redemption story in the process.

All he has to do is win three more games.

The Titans (8-5) have become one of the most dangerous teams in the league since inserting Tannehill into the lineup seven weeks ago. Tennessee is riding a four-game win streak while winning six of…

Tennessee Titans: Kevin Byard – Sleeper Defensive Player of the Year candidate

The Tennessee Titans have a budding superstar in safety Kevin Byard, who has already earned Pro Bowl and All Pro honors in his first three seasons. Next up is the Defensive Player of the Year award, and Byard should be in the mix by season’s end.

Pass rushers Aaron Donald and J.J. Watt have maintained a stranglehold on the honor recently, winning the award in five of the last seven seasons. And…

Tennessee Titans: Tough schedule could be a blessing in disguise

Tennessee Titans: Tough schedule could be a blessing in disguise

The Tennessee Titans will enter the 2019 season with the league’s ninth-toughest schedule. Their opponent’s combined record in 2018 was 131-124-1, good for a .514 winning percentage.

Nearly half of Tennessee’s games this year will come against teams that made the playoffs last year. Houston Texans (twice), Indianapolis Colts (twice), Los Angeles Chargers, Kansas City Chiefs, and New Orleans Saints

Tennessee Titans poised to be league's best rushing offense and defense in 2019

Tennessee Titans poised to be league’s best rushing offense and defense in 2019

As the Tennessee Titans continue to evolve from their 2016 exotic smash mouth identity, the pieces are in place for the mantra to make a curtain call this season.

In fact, the Titans are poised to lead the league in rushing offense and rushing defense in 2019.

Offense

Tennessee’s offense was riddled with injures throughout the entire 2018 season, and it started in the season opener.

Tennessee Titans: Five players that need bounce back seasons in 2019

Tennessee Titans: Five players that need bounce back seasons in 2019

The Tennessee Titans enter the 2019 season on the heels of three consecutive 9-7 campaigns. In two of those seasons the Titans missed the playoffs by a mere game.

Head coach Mike Vrabel has preached all offseason that the goal is to break through that proverbial glass ceiling, which leaves little room for error in the stacked AFC.

The Titans have a solid roster, especially on defense, but they…

Tennessee Titans: Why Derrick Henry has a chance for 2,000 yards this season

Tennessee Titans: Why Derrick Henry has a chance for 2,000 yards this season

There has only been seven 2,000 yard rushers in NFL history, and Derrick Henry could become the eighth this season.

Yes, the Derrick Henry that plays for the Tennessee Titans.

Chris Johnson eclipsed the mark in 2009, which would make the Titans the first team in NFL history with two 2,000 yard rushers if it were to occur.

And I get it…that’s a HUGE if.

But the stars are uniquely aligned this…

We humbly applaud and salute you all.

For Tennessee Titans fans, it is also a time to reflect on the life and tragic death of our founding father…quarterback Steve McNair…who’s life was cut short on this day…

Tennessee Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk announced today that Steve McNair and Eddie George, two of the most iconic players in franchise history, will have their jerseys retired during the September 15th home opener against the Indianapolis Colts.

And while the two weren’t drafted together, nor did they retire as Titans together, it is only fitting that they receive this honor…

Tennessee Titans: Preseason slate filled with storylines

Tennessee Titans: Preseason slate filled with storylines

The NFL Just released its preseason slate, and the Tennessee Titans’ schedule is filled with intriguing storylines.

I say storylines because the Titans will bring their own intrigue to each contest due to their ongoing issues at quarterback, and the non-stop comparisons that are sure to ensue between embattled starter Marcus Mariota and newly acquired backup Ryan Tannehill when the team finally…

Tennessee Titans: Mariota breaks silence – says plenty with few words

Tennessee Titans’ quarterback Marcus Mariota spoke publicly for the first time since the team signed veteran qb Ryan Tannehill to not only be his backup, but to also push and compete with him throughout the 2019 season.

And as we know, Mariota is entering the final year of his rookie contract and will presumably have to play out the season before his future financial fate is decided.

As reported…

Tennessee Titans: Tannehill should push Mariota to new heights

In what has already been a frenetic start to free agency for the Tennessee Titans, general manager Jon Robinson just pulled off a move that will be talked about until this time next season.

Tennessee announced a trade with the Miami Dolphins today, giving up a fourth round pick in 2020 and this year’s seventh round pick in exchange for quarterback Ryan Tannehill and a sixth round pick in this…

Tennessee Titans: Not taking any chances…and that’s a good thing

The Tennessee Titans have fared well in the draft since the arrival of general manager Jon Robinson four years ago.

All Pros like Jack Conklin and Kevin Byard. Up and comers like Derrick Henry, Corey Davis, Adoree Jackson and Jayon Brown.

And last year’s rookies showed capable of being glue-guys going forward.

Be that as it may, Robinson obviously senses the urgency in getting over the 9-7 hump,…

It seems like it was just yesterday when Derrick Henry was throwing grown men around while racing down the sideline for an NFL record-tying 99 yard run against the hated Jaguars…

But here we are again, on the cusp of a new league year with the NFL Combine already underway.

Tennessee Titans: How this year could be their 1999 super season

Tennessee Titans: How this year could be their 1999 super season

Tennessee Titans fans are like 30 other NFL fan bases, preparing to watch the Super Bowl this Sunday without their hometown team representing them.

The annual extravaganza is back in Atlanta, and the NFC Champions are the Rams.

For those old enough to remember, that was the venue and opponent for Tennessee’s only appearance…and we all know how that ended….

So I’ll digress.
