Tennessee Titans preseason win vs Philadelphia Eagles: What you missed
By Will Lomas
Who were the most fun players to watch.
Based on everything we saw last night and on review this morning, these are the guys who should move up the roster or at least get a good shot to compete for a spot higher.
Bronze: Corey Levin: Ben Jones actually looked really good last night, so I am not calling for Jones to get benched. However, there is no way that anyone can honestly tell me that we saw Kevin Pamphile, Aaron Stinnie or Jamil Douglas do anything more impressive or more consistently than we saw from Levin.
He should be this team’s starter at right guard or at center (Jones to guard).

Silver: David Long: Jayon Brown vibes from Long last night. This is how I charted his first 8 plays (started the 2nd half)
-In on a gang tackle.
-Good pursuit on a botched reception.
-Delayed blitz vs the QB on a screen.
-Good coverage, QB throw away
-Solo tackle from backside for 2 yards.
-Covers a lot of ground, tackles RB out of the backfield on a swing route. Bad horsecollar call.
-Rocks the running back on a screen play. 1 yard gain.
-Hits RB in the backfield who spins into a tackle. 2 yard gain.
-Covers the TE in man coverage, QB runs but Long forces him out of bounds on 3rd and 11. No gain.
The only time the offense got first downs on those drives were from penalties, he looked outstanding. Go back and watch #41 to start the second half if you don’t believe me.
Gold: Kalif Raymond: I am a big Darius Jennings stan, but Raymond is a top-5 WR on this offense right now and he does everything you want.
Great concentration catches on tipped passes, holding on to the ball while getting rocked over the middle, catching the ball in the backfield and getting chunk yardage, return punts and kicks, I mean what can’t Kalif Raymond do at this point for the Titans.
