Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans kick off mandatory mini-camp this week and seeing Cam Ward get back on the right track would be the best thing that could happen. While it isn't time to panic, Ward has been having his struggles through summer sessions so far and getting the momentum rolling in the right direction with a full complement of teammates would be a nice thing to hear. Also, Ward and Carnell Tate he...

The Tennessee Titans have complete OTAs and Cam Ward's struggles would make it seem like he is the biggest "loser" of the process. However, Ward's struggles are acceptable and expected. The real losers are the people who decided to give up on Ward based on a week of June practice. Carnell Tate was a massive winner, but some are saying that Tate doesn't deserve credit if Ward can't get blame. That...

Second-year Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward faced an up-and-down final stretch of OTA sessions. In this episode, we deliver a reality check on why fans shouldn't overreact to June practice reps while learning a brand-new playbook. We provide a comprehensive evaluation of the final OTA practices, track the quarterback competition, and discuss whether the media is criminally overlooking Chim D...

The Tennessee Titans wrapped up their third week of organized team activities on Thursday and it featured another less-than-stellar performance from Cam Ward. It may not have been a good week for Ward, but practices in June in these circumstances should not shake the faith the fan base has in their quarterback as that faith was built on a foundation of real games, not summer sessions. Robert Saleh...

Cam Ward has caught some flack as of late for his less-than-stellar performances in Tennessee Titans OTAs, but people calling him a bust are simply doing so in bad faith. It lacks nuance and perspective and a simple look at some other recent examples shows Cam Ward is doing exactly what he should be. Looking at other players in OTAs, the wide receiver battle is as hotly contested as ever and this...

Cam Ward had another up and down day at Tennessee Titans OTAs with a tough start but a solid finish. This is the perfect time of year for growing pains as Ward learns a new offense and adapts to his new weapons. It is not the perfect time of year to freak out and lose faith in Ward's future. Another big piece of news on the day was the status of Carnell Tate. Tate has been balling out in OTAs, but...

OTAs are underway for the Titans, and the position battles are heating up—especially for the backup quarterback role. Veteran Mitch Trubisky seems to have a slight edge over Will Levis, highlighting the critical importance of finding a reliable second-in-command for starter Cam Ward. Plus, we break down expectations for veterans Jermaine Johnson and Calvin Ridley heading into the upcoming season....

The Tennessee Titans got back out on the practice field on Monday and once again Carnell Tate was making big plays. Tate had another downfield catch from Cam Ward and at this point it is hard not to get overly excited about what the young pairing can do when the football counts. On defense, one thing all fans should have been watching for is Kevin Winston. The second year safety could be a star an...

The Tennessee Titans will hit the field again next week for some organized team activities and all eyes will remain on Carnell Tate, who has been the standout story so far of offseason practices. Tate needs to keep progressing though and hearing him have success in multiple ways is the best outcome possible. Also, it would be nice to hear Cam Ward had a sharper week as he learns more about the pla...

Training camp is around the corner, and several Titans are entering a make-or-break summer. With key position groups still up for grabs, who will solidify their spot on the roster? Plus, ESPN’s latest FPI rankings have Tennessee sitting at 27th overall. Is that fair or foul? We debate that and more in this week’s episode of the Titans Squad Show. Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s...

The Tennessee Titans have had an issue at wide receiver since trading away AJ Brown, but with Carnell Tate emerging early on as a potential alpha weapon, the Titans might have fixed that problem for the foreseeable future. An elite version of Tate, combined with Wan'Dale Robinson and future additions, is quite the talent collection and is already one of the better groups in the AFC. A big part of...

The Tennessee Titans didn't get a primetime game on their regular season schedule, but they did just receive a primetime slot in the preseason, for what that's worth! The Titans will take on the Seattle Seahawks in the Sunday Night Football slot in Week 2 of the preseason. This is an interesting matchup, but the joint practices before the game are really what matter most. More immediately, the Tit...

The Tennessee Titans traded up to get linebacker Anthony Hill in the second round and with that comes the expectation he can make an immediate impact. That means it is great news to hear that Hill has already been flashing in practice from his direct position coach. Hill taking a step forward and filling a starting role early on would be a good sign for the defense. On offense, the Titans new coac...

While everyone is hyping up the Titans' 2026 draft class, we look back to last year. Outside of quarterback Cam Ward, which player from the 2025 class needs to take a massive second-year leap for Tennessee to be successful? Plus, Sports Illustrated dropped their Coach/QB rankings, placing Robert Saleh and Cam Ward at 25th overall. Is that a fair baseline for the duo, or are they being slept on? We...

The Tennessee Titans have made it through a couple of weeks of OTAs and there are some situations that we need to check in on like Tyjae Spears in the final year of his rookie contract. Spears is getting hype for his performance so far, but we shouldn't buy into that hype as all Titans fans know who Spears really is as a player. Carnell Tate on the other hand, has given us every reason to believe...

The Tennessee Titans hit the field for another open practice on Friday and once again, Carnell Tate was the star of the show. With highlight catches and smooth route running, Tate has impressed anyone and everyone who has been at practice to witness it and it makes you wonder what a true top receiver could do for Cam Ward and this offense. Speaking of Ward, he had a solid day that wasn't perfect,...

Week 2 of Titans OTAs is in full swing, and new head coach Robert Saleh is already laying down the law. His golden rule? If a defensive lineman plays four snaps in a row, "you aren't doing it right." On this episode, we break down the philosophy behind Saleh’s high-frequency rotation and debate whether it’s practical when you have a superstar like Jeffery Simmons on that side of the ball. Everyday...

The Tennessee Titans would get a massive boost this season if Cam Ward and Carnell Tate's connection from the first week of OTAs is something that is consistent all year. That consistency is what is built right now, the chemistry is created during this time period. Hearing Cam and Tate kept it rolling would be the best thing to come out of Friday's practice. The Titans are also hoping to see the s...

The Tennessee Titans are trying to get pieces in place to become a championship contender and some may already be, like Cam Ward and Jeffery Simmons. Recently, NFL Analyst Daniel Jeremiah laid out a format for teams to be that kind of contender and boxes that needed checked. While the Titans might have a few pieces, they certainly aren't all the way there or close, to be honest. Needing three play...

The Titans wide receiver room is officially a crowded battlefield as Week 2 of OTAs gets underway. With top-tier talent like rookie phenom Carnell Tate and dynamic playmaker Wan'Dale Robinson locking down the top of the depth chart, the margin for error has completely vanished for bubble players trying to squeeze onto the final 53-man roster. In this episode, we grab the roster scissors and play a...

The Titans just completed their first week of OTAs the Cam Ward to Carnell Tate connection is clear the biggest winner, but players like Cedric Gray, Marcus Harris and Austin Schlottmann should be consider big winners as well. When there are winners, there are always losers and players like Jackson Slater, Elic Ayomanor and Femi Oladejo seem like they fit the bill. Finally, there are some weird st...

The Tennessee Titans have one of the best interior defensive lines in the NFL, but the edge rusher spot is still a big question. Femi Oladejo in year two and Keldric Faulk as a rookie will need to step up quickly, but if they do, they could be the future at the position for years to come. Oladejo is even getting some help from a Titans legend in Jevon Kearse. On offense, all the hype has been arou...

The Tennessee Titans had their first open OTA last week and it got the fan base stirring after a solid performance from Cam Ward and an excellent debut from Carnell Tate. Ward's growth is absolutely critical and while the on-field work is key, Ward is making enhancements to his fitness and diet as well. Those changes can be equally beneficial as he tries to become a superstar and it sounds like Wa...

OTAs are officially underway, and fourth overall pick Carnell Tate already looks the part. In this episode, we discuss the rookie wideout's impressive start to offseason workouts with the Titans. Plus, we highlight quarterback Cam Ward's new, slimmer physique and break down exactly how dropping weight could fuel his major leap in year two.  Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time t...

The Tennessee Titans saw Chad Brinker exit earlier this offseason and it left a lot of duties unmanned that may have fallen to general manager Mike Borgonzi. While capable, Borgonzi would logically lose some of the time he uses for football-related activities. That would not help the Titans win football games so a big hire was made of Mike Gardi. Gardi will assist with the side quests of being a G...
