Tennessee Titans: End of Week Notes & Links
Bringing you the best bits of news or information about the Tennessee Titans that has circulated around the internet during the week.
The Tennessee Titans are in the midst of the second week of preseason. On Saturday night, they will face the Carolina Panthers at Nissan Stadium. Cam Newton most likely won’t be playing for the Panthers, but the Titans must play better than last week regardless. Before tomorrow’s game, let’s check out what’s been in the news about the Titans lately.
- Marcus Mariota is an outstanding human being and a fine representative for the Tennessee Titans
- Like it or not, Harry Douglas is probably going to make this team once again
- Nissan Stadium is beautiful from above
- Eric Decker is going to be an asset this season
- If you’re a graphic designer in Nashville, there’s an opening on the Titans’ PR/Comms team!
- Antwaun Woods and Sylvester Williams are in a real competition
- The fourth Titan Sized Podcast episode is ready for consumption!
The newest episode of the Titan Sized Podcast tackled and previewed the upcoming game against the Panthers. We pondered how the Titans’ linebackers will cover Christian McCaffrey and Greg Olsen, and we mourned the release of Jordan Gay.
Woods and Williams going toe-to-toe for the starting nose tackle position is no surprise to me. I didn’t love the Williams signing when it happened and I’ve mentioned Woods’ name in previous podcasts as a guy to watch in preseason action. The good news is that the coaching staff doesn’t seem to feel a need to give Williams the bulk of the snaps despite him being on a much larger contract than Woods. The better player will get more playing time; as it should be.

The midweek joint practices between the Titans and Panthers were a good way to check out intriguing individual matchups that we might not get to see for long during Saturday’s game. Considering Decker twisted his ankle and won’t play on Saturday, the joint practice was vital. Thankfully, judging by that video, Decker is still a baller against good cornerbacks. Despite being held and interfered with, Decker fought through it and made a fantastic catch. More of that during the season, please!
I’ve been a staunch opposer of Douglas for quite some time, but I’m becoming increasingly complacent with him making this team. If he’s going to be the fifth option at wide receiver, we could really do worse. I don’t mind it or him anymore.
What else can we say about Mariota? He’s a top 10 to 12 quarterback, a kind human being and the right person to be the face of this franchise. Here’s to hoping he can stay healthy for 16 games (and more) this season and have a long and productive career in Nashville.
