One big change I want to see from Tennessee Titans vs Atlanta Falcons

What is the biggest change I would make for the Tennessee Titans this week.

It feels like it has been a month since the Tennessee Titans played that terrible game vs the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday Night Football.

With all that time to look over their mistakes, I think I have gotten a pretty good feel for what the Titans have been doing well and what isn’t working in the first month of the NFL season.

So, with hindsight on my side and with plenty of hope still remaining for the season there is one thing I would change going into Atlanta this week.

Throw more passes to Delanie Walker and Corey Davis, and throw less passes to A.J. Brown and the running backs.

It sounds easy, but this is a change that has to happen sooner rather than later.

Delanie Walker is the most consistent weapon that the Titans have and his physicality and technique make him so hard to guard effectively.

There had been murmurs that Corey Davis was going to take a backseat to A.J. Brown after the first week of the season. Despite the coaching staff’s best efforts, Brown has been inconsistent and was probably given too much too soon.

I am still confident that Brown will be very good in the NFL, but it usually takes some time for rookie receivers to really become consistent threats. Luckily for the Titans they have a veteran who looked like he had a breakout season in 2018: Corey Davis.

If the Titans will just make it a priority to run plays with Davis in mind and not Brown, he can remind people of just how good he can be. The side benefit is that it saves Brown from overthinking or needing to do too much and you can just worry about getting him the ball in space.

Speaking of getting the ball in space, I would love for the Titans to find ways to get Derrick Henry the ball in space but the big problem is he can’t catch. I mean this in the nicest way, but he has hands like an offensive lineman and it shows with the weekly drop that kills a play for the Titans.

Tennessee either has to stop throwing him the ball, or they need to do it on 2nd and short so that a drop doesn’t kill the drive.

Speaking of killing drives, Dion Lewis is a net negative when he is on the field. Blocking, running and catching are all issues at this point and I get that he has to be on the field sometimes because Henry needs rest , but this idea of giving him anything more than 20% of the snaps on offenses is asinine and hopefully it died in Jacksonville.
