Kicker

To say the Titans struggled in the kicking department in 2019 would be an understatement. For the entire year, the Titans’ kickers made only 44.4 percent of their kicks, by far the lowest mark in the league.

This was due to Ryan Succop being on IR to start the year, and Cairo Santos missing four field goal attempts in one game. Even when Succop was activated from IR, he would go on to go 1-of-6 on field goals and couldn’t kick touchbacks, which made it necessary for Tennessee to carry a “kickoff specialist” in Ryan Santoso, who failed miserably at his job.

You just cannot win in this league without reliable kicking because eventually it will catch up to you.

The Titans brought in Greg Joseph, however he only attempted one field goal for the team. I would expect the Titans to target another kicker in free agency or late in the draft for competition.
