The Tennessee Titans' priority this season is finding out if Will Levis is the franchise quarterback.
Whether you liked him coming out of college or not, nearly every metric suggests that Levis is in for a big season this year and there should be a lot of optimism in the Titans fan base right now.
While we all wait to see, the Titans coaches have to operate under the assumption that Levis is going to be the guy for them. If he is, then the offense should be the identity of this team.
However, just because the offense spearheads the identity forward, it doesn't solve all of their issues. Remember, the last time the Titans offense was leading the charge was in 2020 and that was also the season where we saw one of the worst defenses in franchise history including a historically bad third-down defense.
The Titans only lost five games that season, and in those losses, they allowed an average of 34.6 points per game. That is horrific, and it is something that the Titans have to avoid repeating if/when the Brian Callahan offense takes off.
Heading into training camp, the Titans defense isn't getting the respect it deserves.
Jeffery Simmons and Harold Landry are young Pro Bowlers whose best football should be ahead of them. Not to be outdone, the Titans created one of the best cornerback trios in the NFL when they combined the forces of L'Jarius Sneed, Chidobe Awuzie, and Roger McCreary.
The foundation is there. All new defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson needs is a few players to step up around Landry and Simmons. If they can't, the Titans will find players that can next offseason.
We've identified the Titans defenders with the most on the line heading into training camp.
