Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans' season is going horribly and they are functionally eliminated from the playoffs. This leaves fans wanting change, but out of the all of the possible moves, the most likely change right now is Cam Ward's status as starting quarterback. That is an easier move for the franchise than replacing all of the coaches or general manager.  If the Titans go full replacement for Ward, trading for Justin Herbert or drafting a rookie like Arch Manning could be something that charges up the fan base. However, the likely move will be adding some veteran competition and names l...

Things have gone from bad to worse in Nashville. The Titans dropped to 0-5 following the lopsided 26-3 loss to the Houston Texans. After three straight weeks of close defeats, Robert Saleh's team takes a massive step back. The players in the locker room described the performance in one word: embarrassing.

The Tennessee Titans lost in pathetic fashion to the Houston Texans on Sunday where the offense just looked absolutely lifeless. Zero run game, the pass blocking wasn't even good and Cam Ward struggled to get anything going. Whether it is turnovers or the plays being called or the execution, nothing has changed on offense in a long time for the Titans. The defense actually stepped up and held the Texans down for a while. This was a perfect example of a Robert Saleh defense, but even then, the Texans committed many penalties and self-inflicted wounds that prevented this from...

The Tennessee Titans need to win a game and there is no better chance than taking on the defeated Houston Texans. The Texans may be the better team on paper, but the Titans have some clear advantages and that starts in the trenches. Jeffery Simmons and the defensive line must attack CJ Stroud, but that means Cam Ward must do his part and put up some points. Special Teams must stop being a problem every week and the Texans also have similar struggles there. On defense, stunts up from have given the Texans problems and the Titans need to...

The Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans both sit at 0-4 with the matchup ahead really putting a stamp on the season. The team that wins could use the momentum to fix their broken season. Losing, well that would certainly be a punctuation on a failed start that won't get better. Cam Ward has had his struggles, but there is no time like the present to start to breakout and with CJ Stroud playing well, Ward has to outduel him to pull off the upset. The trenches will always be key and the defensive line for the Texans is always...

The sky feels like it is falling in Nashville after a brutal 0-4 start to the season. On this episode of the Titans Squad Show, we are taking a hard look at Robert Saleh and his coaching staff through the first four weeks of football. Is it genuinely time to panic, or is there a realistic path to turning this around if the coordinators adjust?

The Tennessee Titans are 0-4 and heading straight towards a terrible season, but they have a chance to correct things this weekend against their hated rival in the Houston Texans. With a division game against the Indianapolis Colts, a matchup with the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals before the bye, there is a stretch of winnable games that could flip the momentum. However, to do that things must get fixed like Cam Ward's ball placement and the coverage issues with Robert Saleh's defense. There are some things that are doing well though and need to keep growing. Ward's playmaking...

Cam Ward did not play a perfect game in the Tennessee Titans loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Ward made plenty of mistakes, but he also corrected a lot of issues that had been plaguing him early in the season. Better mechanics, route reads and pocket management were all over the tape AND Ward brought back his signature playmaking style that had been missing from the first three weeks. Titans fans would be wise to see it through with their young talented passer. That patience should include Brian Daboll. Titans fans are shooting their arrows at Daboll, but he is...

The Titans drop to 0-4 following the 24-18 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. While there were some positive signs, such as Carnell Tate's 145-yard day, there were also several mistakes that doomed the Titans. Not to mention, Lamar Jackson carved up the defense in the first half leading to another L for Tennessee.

The Tennessee Titans dropped to 0-4 on the season in another pitiful loss, this time to the Baltimore Ravens. Coaching was the biggest issue of the day as Robert Saleh's defense got carved up and his decisions as a head coach made you scratch your head as well. Brian Daboll is clearly terrified of Cam Ward even during a decent outing and there is no way the offense nor Ward can become their best with that sort of mindset. As for Ward, it was a mixed bag. Certainly, it was his best performance of the year so far, but...

The Tennessee Titans face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4 and the red zone will be key, particularly for Cam Ward. Ward struggled in the red zone last week and it lost the Titans the game. A bounce back performance in this key area gives the Titans a chance at an upset. Special teams mistakes have also killed this team, so as always, that unit and the turnover battle are important. Ward gets a head start on his preparation for the Ravens defense after seeing a similar scheme last week. Dan Moore will be tested at left tackle by Trey...

The Tennessee Titans take on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4 and things are already heating up as Derrick Henry threw some shade at the Titans in a playful way at his press availability on Wednesday. Henry was joking, but definitely wanted it to be known the Titans didn't try to bring him back. That will create a buzz, but Henry's departure was a clear mutual move. That doesn't make it above criticism though. Moving to the game this week though, the Titans, as always, will need to win the battle in the trenches and the linebackers matching up with...

There is no way to sugarcoat it! The patience in Nashville is wearing thin. Following a brutal 12-7 loss to the New York Giants, sealed by a heartbreaking, late-game red-zone interception, Titans quarterback Cam Ward is heavily testing the faith of the fanbase.

As the heat turns up and the team drops to 0-3, the big question on everyone's mind is: Are we still looking at the franchise cornerstone of the future, or has the margin for error shrunk so much that it's time to start thinking about a replacement?

The Tennessee Titans may be 0-3 and drowning in sadness, but there are still some bright spots that deserve our attention like Carnell Tate. Tate had a great game against the New York Giants and was routinely open. Tate should have scored twice and would have had a much bigger day with better quarterback play. JC Latham is also taking a massive step forward right now and has been close to dominant on the right side of the offensive line. On defense, Robert Saleh's unit is finding a groove in the last six quarters and looking exactly how we...

The Tennessee Titans have yet to win a game and the play of Cam Ward at quarterback is under the microscope. Sticking with Ward is the best move, but the numbers paint an ugly picture and it is statistically unlikely Ward overcomes his first 20 games to become the franchise leader. Ward isn't the only problem though as Robert Saleh is showing discouraging signs whether in his game management or in his press conference comments. Saleh being an issue is almost more problematic than Ward. Finally, the Titans are now dealing with an injury concern as starting guard Fernando Carmona...

The Tennessee Titans just experienced a nightmare loss highlighted by the poor performance of Cam Ward. Ward was a disaster and it was a game that should haunt Titans fan dreams. Add in the special teams mistakes, coaching errors and drops, it makes for an all-too-familiar disgrace for Titans fans. The defense will get blame, but realistically they did the best they could with the offense completely falling apart. However, Robert Saleh led the defense much better than the team because the game management was awful and that has been a theme early this year. This realization makes things...

The Tennessee Titans once again face a must-win game if they are to turn things around and save their season. Divine intervention has allowed for the Titans to get a second chance and they must take advantage with how banged up the New York Giants will be. Missing Jaxson Dart, Brian Burns and Deonte Banks, the Giants are not at full strength and the Titans have no excuse but to win. To do so, they must get more aggressive on offense when they pass and take some shots downfield. With the pending weather though, the run game will stay...

The Tennessee Titans still have a real chance at the playoffs because the status of the AFC South and because of Jaxson Dart being out this week for the New York Giants. With a lot of injuries, the Giants are in a prime position to lose to the Titans at home. What will the plan be for Jameis Winston though? Patricia Traina from Locked On Giants joins the show to give her thoughts. Matchups will be huge in this one as well as Jeffery Simmons needs to continue to dominate against the Giants offensive line. Finally, the run game...

The old saying goes, '"no pain, no gain." Titans Quarterback Cam Ward has experienced some growing pains and a slower development process compared to his 2025 NFL Draft Class counterparts. However, he showed some clear growth in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. We discuss why his performance was an encouraging step forward and debate head coach Robert Saleh's decision to settle for a field goal at the end of the game. Does he need more trust in his offense? Or is it a philosophical coaching flaw?

The Tennessee Titans are sitting at 0-2, but their dreams of winning the AFC South are still alive. Every team in the South lost in Week 2 and only the Jacksonville Jaguars have won a game. With Jaxson Dart expected to miss for the New York Giants in Week 3 and the Houston Texans and Indianapolis colts on the schedule soon, the Titans have a great chance to flip their season around and be leading the division by Halloween. Through two weeks we have seen a good amount of snaps from the Titans key players, making it a great time to...

The Tennessee Titans took real steps forward in their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday and that included Cam Ward. Ward showed signs of progress coming out of the loss to the New York Jets and should have fan feeling encouraged about his progression. However, there are some issues that still obviously remained. Overcoming them will be key for Ward this season. A big part of that is the Titans offensive line, who yet again had a good day. The O-Line is a big reason the Titans can keep the progress going. As is the defensive line, who...

The Titans fall to 0-2 following the heartbreaking 24-20 loss to the Eagles. While the team showed more fight, head coach Robert Saleh rejected the idea of a moral victory. We also discuss the defense's inability to get a stop on the final drive and highlight Cam Ward's improved performance.

The Tennessee Titans lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in all the way a dumb team does. Mistakes, blown assignments, penalties and poor play calling. This is a loss that is a reminder it takes a lot to win and the Titans aren't ready yet. There are no morale victories in the NFL. However, the Titans did show signs of life, particularly Cam Ward. Ward led some solid scoring drives even if he wasn't perfect. The defense on the other hand really struggled to get off the field, but even them, there were some things to like moving forward.

The Tennessee Titans struggled in Week 1 and Cam Ward's play is at the center of that conversation, but even if Ward continues to struggle, the Titans cannot put him on the bench. Ward is too young to disrupt his development in a new system and the reality is his replacement gives the Titans nothing to be happy about. As for the game this weekend, the Titans are big time underdogs and if they want any chance to cause an upset, they need to stop Saquon Barkley in the run game. A repeat of last week's run defense will result...

The Tennessee Titans host the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2 and while it may seem like a daunting task to win, a win would absolutely fix the vibes issue the Titans are currently dealing with. Beating a stellar opponent would not only erase the trauma of losing to the New York Jets, but it would provide a major confidence boost. Winning will require great play from the trenches though as the Eagles lines are fantastic on both sides of the ball, but the offensive line may be more vulnerable than usual. Finally, stopping the run and winning on special teams...

Following the season opening loss to the New York Jets, Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward faces scrutiny over accuracy issues and a subpar offensive performance. The defense is also a major concern after allowing 367 yards of offense on Sunday. With an upcoming matchup against the Eagles we debate what needs to be fixed so the Titans can avoid an 0-2 start.

The Tennessee Titans looked completely lifeless in Week 1 and at this point there is no more patience. Fans have been patient enough and whether it be the play of Cam Ward or the cowardly coaching of Robert Saleh, this isn't a product anyone should be paying money to support. The reality is, the Titans fan base is the most depressed it has ever been. There is no hope for the future or the present and there is no end in sight. However, there were some bright spots to focus on as the offensive operation was not as bad as...

Cam Ward played absolutely terrible for the Tennessee Titans in their Week 1 loss to the New York Jets, but Ward is certainly better than this. Maybe things don't get better any time soon, but believing Ward can do more is certainly reasonable. However, there are some things that will not get better and that might include Robert Saleh's run defense. Saleh has routinely shown that he is willing to give up yards to prevent big plays and touchdowns. Similarly, the pass rush may not get better either with the lack of talent in the pass rush. On offense, the...

A rough start to the Robert Saleh era. The Titans fall to the NY Jets 23-10. In our latest episode, we break down the offense’s lackluster performance and look at what went wrong with a defense that was supposed to be our strongest unit.

The Tennessee Titans looked absolutely disgraceful against the New York Jets in their embarrassing Week One loss. The Titans did everything wrong in all three phases and essentially no one played well. This was a continuation of the preseason where the Titans looked awful as well. Particularly Cam Ward, who has to be on a yellow light right now, and closer to red than green. The biggest issue is this loss is going to be felt far after the game ended. This was a must win and the vibes will echo throughout the rest of the season. This wasn't...

The Tennessee Titans absolutely must win their season opener against the New York Jets and the biggest thing that will determine who wins will be intelligence. The dumb team will make the big mistake and it will decide the matchup between two even teams. Cam Ward will be at the heart of that issue and he will need to play a clean game for the Titans to win. Ward won't be the only one with this responsibility though. Running the ball will still be a primary objective, particularly to the outsides, where the Jets will be vulnerable. On defense...

CROSSOVER THURSDAY: The Tennessee Titans take on the New York Jets in Week 1 so John Butchko of Locked on Jets joins to talk about all the revenge angles in this game. First, on the Titans side it is obvious that Robert Saleh, after being fired by the Jets, will want to get his lick back, but plenty of the players on the Titans roster also used to be Jets and will want some payback. The Jets side has their fair share of former Titans and some in the building will want their coach, Aaron Glenn, to prove the Jets...

It's officially game week in Music City! The Tennessee Titans open the 2026 season against the New York Jets at Nissan Stadium and all eyes are on head coach Robert Saleh as he faces his former team. Why is a week 1 victory crucial for Saleh? We break down the matchup, dive into the 2026 schedule, and make our win-loss predictions for the season.

The Tennessee Titans hired Robert Saleh to turn the team around and while massive strides may take time, this team must win six games for the season to be deemed a success in anyway. Less than six wins would require a level of football that would not be considered acceptable after all of the change we have seen. Things got a little more difficult for the Titans this week when Cedric Gray was announced to be in concussion protocol after an accident on an off-road vehicle. Outside of it being a classic Titans story, the Titans should still be...

The Tennessee Titans need A LOT of things to go right for them to be able to make the playoffs this season and none of them are more important than Cam Ward taking a step forward. Led by Brian Daboll having a great year, improvements on the offensive line and in the receiver room adding to Ward's jump, the Titans would have what they needed for a postseason entry on that side of the ball. On defense, getting a dominant effort from Jeffery Simmons and the defensive line would be the first key check box. After that, the young...

The Tennessee Titans are hoping for big improvements in 2026 and Tyler thinks they come, but not quite as big of a leap as some fans are hoping for. Six wins seem like the right number as this team may get off to a slow start and hit adversity early on. Wins may be hard to come by, but after the bye week, the Titans should be able to finish strong. Six wins is not a great year in comparison with the rest of the NFL, but coming off two years with a total of six wins, it has to...

The Tennessee Titans head into 2026 with optimism, but if things go wrong there is no doubt how it will look. Cam Ward will certainly have a terrible year and Robert Saleh's defensive expertise will not have the immediate impact we all thought. Not what you want to see, but hard to imagine things going bad without those two factors. Who could be the Titans surprise player that even shocks the fans? Chim Dike and Femi Oladejo are on a short list. What is the confidence in the Titans Week 1 against the New York Jets? Hard to know how it...

The Tennessee Titans season is right around the corner and it is time for PREDICTIONS. It isn't much of a hot take to say Cam Ward will be the team's MVP, but predicting his stat line for the season is more difficult to project. Carnell Tate on the other hand will be considered a disappointment even though he can still have a solid season statistically. On defense, Jeffery Simmons should be able to have another double-digit sack season as the defense's MVP, but Kevin Winston stepping up among the young players and making multiple interceptions in the backend would...

In today’s episode, we break down General Manager Mike Borgonzi’s recent comments setting expectations for Year 2 of the rebuild. Are the Titans quietly setting up a breakout year, or is the front office managing expectations ahead of a tough schedule? Plus we react to the newly finalized 53-man roster.

If you want to be optimistic about the Tennessee Titans there are clear paths to doing so whether you want to use logic or data. The data suggests the Titans performance in the preseason joint practices means wins are coming, but there are other data points that support the Titans as well. If you want logic, the Titans deliver there too as all the improvements and the difficult training camp could make for a surprise season ahead. Finally, we got injury updates on the Titans first round picks with Carnell Tate missing practice and Keldrick Faulk getting back out...
