An article this long clearly tells you one thing: the Titans have a ton of talent on both sides of the ball when you break it all down.

Specifically on defense, the media should be talking this group up as one that is going to be extraordinary in 2019. Instead, there have been mostly crickets about it and certainly not enough attention to satisfy just how good this defense is going to be.

Aside from that obvious fact, the running game has two superb backs, each with their own set of skills, the receiving corps. is as deep as any in the league and teams have won Super Bowls with far less than what the Titans have behind center.

That might not be a secret to those closest to the team, but it doesn’t seem to be resonating with a national football media that continuously treats Tennessee like the Rodney Dangerfield of the NFL.

That’s OK, though. Once the Titans start showing just how good they are on the field, the media will look at their family tree and realize they were the sap.

(H/T Rodney Dangerfield).
