NASHVILLE (AP) — For Adam Humphries, Tennessee has been a potential destination for months because of his Tampa Bay connection with Titans general manager Jon Robinson.

Wanted: One dynamic, transformational type player who regularly affects the outcome of games. After watching the NFL playoffs unfold, it’s obvious the key to winning championships is having game-changing players in skill positions, preferably on the offensive side of the football.

Marcus Mariota can’t catch a break. His offensive coordinator, Matt LaFleur, was named head coach of the Green Bay Packers last week, leaving the Titans to search for play-caller No. 5 as Mariota heads into a make-or-break fifth season as Tennessee’s quarterback.

8. Titans QB Mariota needs rest, not surgery for latest injury - Friday, December 28, 2018

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans' quest for a second straight postseason ended with injured quarterback Marcus Mariota watching from the sideline .

Luckily for the Titans, Mariota said a neck specialist has made clear only rest is needed — no surgery — to heal nerves frayed by injuries that knocked him out of three different games this season.

9. Titans' season ends shy of postseason with Mariota sidelined - Friday, December 28, 2018

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans had everything they needed to cap coach Mike Vrabel's debut season with a second straight playoff berth.

Except a healthy quarterback.

Marcus Mariota watched from the sideline as Blaine Gabbert was intercepted twice in the final 9:05 Sunday night in a 33-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts that snapped the Titans' four-game winning streak and ended their season.

10. Colts at Titans: What to watch - Friday, December 28, 2018

1. Lots of Luck. Andrew Luck has owned the Titans, something that is well documented in these parts. Luck is 10-0 all-time against Tennessee and has been even more dominant against the Titans than his predecessor, Peyton Manning. The Titans defense didn’t touch Luck in the first meeting in Indianapolis in November, but they must find some way to get pressure on him, a job made much harder by the likelihood that Jurrell Casey could miss the game with a knee injury.

11. Redskins at Titans: What to watch - Friday, December 21, 2018

1. Derrick Henry. Lots of Derrick Henry. Now that the season is in the final weeks, the running game is front and center. And no running back has been more effective the past couple of weeks than Henry, who has nearly doubled his season output in just two games.

12. Henry rushes for 170 and 2 TDs, Titans win 3rd straight - Friday, December 14, 2018

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans are hoping to get to the playoffs riding the tandem of Derrick and the Defense.

It had been a perfect formula the last couple of weeks, and on a rainy Sunday it led to a third straight win and the Titans' first shutout in 18 years.

14. Titans at Giants: What to watch - Friday, December 14, 2018

See if the Giants want to play. The Titans overcame a slow start vs. the Jets and then gave the Jaguars a knockout blow early last week. The Giants have improved in recent weeks, and had they done so about two games earlier they would be in the thick of the NFC playoff chase, and maybe even in the NFC East race. As it is, they are teetering on the brink of elimination. If the Titans can start fast and get a quick lead, will the Giants have much interest in playing for four quarters?

15. Henry runs into NFL record book as Titans rout Jaguars 30-9 - Friday, December 7, 2018

NASHVILLE (AP) — Under center at the 1-yard line, Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota checked out of a quarterback sneak, and Derrick Henry did the rest — as much with his arms as his legs.

16. Sacks piling up as Titans struggle to protect Mariota - Friday, November 23, 2018

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans have an issue protecting their quarterback right now with Marcus Mariota taking a pounding he hasn't experienced since his rookie season.

Mariota was sacked 38 times in 12 games in 2015 with 17 coming in a four-game stretch early that season. With Mariota sidelined with an injured knee, the Titans gave up seven sacks in a loss at Houston that prompted controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk to fire then-coach Ken Whisenhunt less than 48 hours later.

17. Failed 4th down turns tide in Titans' 34-17 loss to Texans - Friday, November 23, 2018

HOUSTON (AP) — The Tennessee Titans were down by four with the ball on the 3-yard line in the second quarter Monday night against the Houston Texans when coach Mike Vrabel chose to go for it on fourth-and-inches.

18. Titans at Colts: What to watch - Friday, November 16, 2018

1. A big stroke of Luck. The Titans have never beaten Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, who entered the league as a rookie in 2012. With Luck missing all of last season due to a shoulder injury, the Titans were able to finally get the upper hand on Indy. But of late, Luck and the Colts have been putting up points at an alarming rate, scoring at least 29 in each of the past four games. Not coincidentally, Luck has not been sacked in that four-game span, which means the Titans defense will have to find a way to create pressure in order to slow down the Indy offense.

19. Vrabel's Titans rout New England 34-10, snap Pats' streaks - Friday, November 9, 2018

NASHVILLE (AP) — Tom Brady added another big chunk of NFL history to his resume. The Tennessee Titans made sure the Patriots quarterback didn't finish his 300th game by hitting him over and over again.

20. Maybe fullback is what Titans offense needs - Friday, November 9, 2018

Jalston Fowler knows he is an endangered species, a dinosaur, an eight-track tape, a Pontiac.

As a player trying to make his living as a fullback, Fowler’s position has nearly been phased out completely in today’s game of three-receiver sets and wide-open offenses.

21. Mariota recovers, Titans top Cowboys 28-14 in Cooper's debut - Friday, November 2, 2018

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Kevin Byard secured the interception that sparked the sluggish Tennessee Titans and turned toward midfield.

The flashback for the Dallas Cowboys was just as disheartening as the original.

22. Things to consider during Titans' bye week - Friday, October 26, 2018

Three things to feel good about heading into the week off

1. Jurrell Casey is playing as well as ever.

The Titans’ best defensive lineman is having a banner season, providing even a good part of the pass rush, despite spending some of his time as a five-technique end, which isn’t exactly a prime spot from which to pass rush.

23. Chargers withstand Titans' late rally, hold on for 20-19 win - Friday, October 19, 2018

LONDON (AP) — The Los Angeles Chargers' Adrian Phillips believes the Tennessee Titans made the right decision to go for a potential go-ahead 2-pointer with 31 seconds remaining — and not just because it failed.

24. What to watch: Titans vs. Chargers at Wembley Stadium, London - Friday, October 19, 2018

1. Find the running game. The Titans’ offensive woes start with the line, which was embarrassed by Baltimore and has not been able to get the run game going all season. The Titans may have to go back to the basics and do something to re-establish the run.

25. ‘Exotic smashmouth’ looks pretty good in hindsight for Titans fans - Friday, October 19, 2018

Six games into the 2018 season, and one trip across the pond before the bye week, a major question comes to mind concerning the Tennessee Titans’ offense.

What if Mike Mularkey was right?

26. Titans' offense struggling with extended touchdown drought - Friday, October 12, 2018

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans made a coaching change after winning their first playoff game in 14 years to rev up Marcus Mariota and the offense.

So far, the Titans have taken a major step backward on offense with their first-time head coach and his offensive coordinator who had never called plays in a regular-season game until last month.

27. Ravens pile up team-record 11 sacks against former coach - Friday, October 12, 2018

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens swarmed around their new defensive coordinator, Don "Wink" Martindale, celebrating after a game that will go down in the record books.

Getting 11 sacks along with a shutout against the man Martindale replaced makes this mark even sweeter.

29. Ravens at Titans: What to watch - Friday, October 12, 2018

1. Defense, defense and more defense. The Titans defense, despite breakdowns against Buffalo, has still been a big reason for the team’s success thus far. Defense is also key to the Ravens’ success with old war horses like Terrell Suggs still leading the way. It wouldn’t be surprising to see this game end up a low-scoring affair like Titans-Ravens games of old.

30. Titans at Buffalo: What to watch - Friday, October 5, 2018

1. Getting the run game going. That’s about the only aspect of the team that has yet to make a big contribution to a win. Other than the wildcat runs in Jacksonville, Derrick Henry has not been a major factor for the Titans. The Titans proved against the Eagles that the pass game is legitimate, so that should loosen things up for the run game.

31. Titans have had season of adversity in 4 games - Friday, October 5, 2018

Tough times don’t build character, the old saying goes, they reveal it.

If that’s so, the Tennessee Titans may have found a keeper in Mike Vrabel just four weeks into his tenure as an NFL head coach.

32. Titans' Mariota still dealing with weakness in throwing hand - Friday, September 21, 2018

NASHVILLE (AP) — Marcus Mariota wakes up every morning hoping his injured right hand feels better.

Unfortunately for the Tennessee Titans quarterback, the weakness is still there, along with numbness and tingling in two fingers.

33. Titans' Mariota still dealing with weakness in throwing hand - Friday, September 14, 2018

NASHVILLE (AP) — Marcus Mariota wakes up every morning hoping his injured right hand feels better.

Unfortunately for the Tennessee Titans quarterback, the weakness is still there, along with numbness and tingling in two fingers.

35. Mixed emotions: Vrabel gets 1st win, Mariota status unclear - Friday, September 14, 2018

NASHVILLE (AP) — A game ball for his first victory as an NFL coach is on Mike Vrabel's desk, and the Tennessee Titans got their first "Victory Monday" off of the season.

The celebration is a bit short-lived while some key starters are rehabbing injuries.

36. Vrabel gets 1st win as Titans dig deep to beat Texans 20-17 - Friday, September 14, 2018

NASHVILLE (AP) — No Marcus Mariota. Both starting offensive tackles out, along with the top backup against Houston and three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt.

Mike Vrabel gave the NFL a glimpse at just how much of a difference he and his assistants can make for the Tennessee Titans as the rookie picked up his first victory as a head coach.

37. Texans at Titans: What to watch - Friday, September 14, 2018

Regroup and assess the damage. The Titans lost tight end Delanie Walker to a gruesome leg ankle injury, lost quarterback Marcus Mariota to an elbow injury to his throwing arm and Taylor Lewan to a concussion. The Titans will have to try to replace Walker long term and monitor the situations on the other two this week as they prepare to face AFC South rival Houston.

38. How the Titans' roster will likely shake out - Friday, August 31, 2018

We’ll take a little different tack this week, since, for one, the preseason finale with the Minnesota Vikings will have already been played when this is published, and the season opener with the Miami Dolphins doesn’t take place until Sept. 9.

39. Winless in preseason, Titans coach taking blame to himself - Friday, August 24, 2018

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans remain winless through three preseason games with a brand-new coaching staff busy trying to fix issues on offense and defense.

Quarterback Marcus Mariota and his No. 1 wide receiver Corey Davis had trouble connecting on not one, but two third downs. Both Mariota and Davis tried to take the blame for the miscommunication in a 16-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday.

40. Titans, Saints use new ways to keep NFL players cool in camp - Friday, August 10, 2018

NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis has been so focused on football with his new team that he didn't realize until a few days into training camp just how special the benches on each sideline really are.

Only months removed from their first playoff victory since 2003, the Tennessee Titans returned to training camp this week seeking to build on last year’s momentum. There are plenty of storylines this season, – a new head coach, a quarterback looking to rebound and, as always, important new rookies and free-agent signings.

DeMarco Murray is retiring from the NFL.

The 2014 Offensive Player of the Year made the announcement on ESPN on Friday, four months after being released by the Tennessee Titans.

Murray, 30, lost his job to Derrick Henry last season and was due to make $6.25 million in 2018 when the Titans let him go. He ran for 659 yards and six touchdowns last season, dealt with a knee injury late in the year, and missed the Titans' final regular-season game and two playoff contests.

46. Titans agree to terms with pair of Patriots' free agents - Friday, March 9, 2018

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans are doing their best to recreate the Patriot Way in Music City.

General manager Jon Robinson, hired in January 2016, got his NFL start as a New England scout. Robinson signed cornerback Logan Ryan as a free agent last year. He then hired Mike Vrabel, who won three Super Bowls as a Patriots linebacker, as Tennessee's new coach in January after the Titans' season ended in Foxborough in the divisional round of the playoffs.

47. Titans plan to release RB DeMarco Murray - Friday, March 9, 2018

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans plan to release running back DeMarco Murray.

The Titans announced their intentions Thursday, when general manager Jon Robinson said in a statement that Murray "was a pro in every facet and we wish him and his family the best moving forward."

With the Super Bowl in the books and another NFL season come and gone, it will soon be time to prepare for the 2018 season.

For the Tennessee Titans, that means trying to fill in the remaining pieces of the puzzle to take another step toward reaching the big game.

Davidson County had the most with 386, followed by Williamson (316), Sumner (21), Wilson (10) and Rutherford (2).

51. Mularkey: Titans taking "next step" means lot of work ahead - Friday, January 12, 2018

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans won more games inside the AFC South, won the franchise's first playoff game in 14 years and reached the divisional round for the first time since 2008.

Being embarrassed by the Patriots 35-14 has only reminded the Titans of how big a gap remains.

52. Titans at Patriots: What to watch - Friday, January 12, 2018

The Tennessee Titans are playing with house money after stunning the Kansas City Chiefs last Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium, rallying from an 18-point halftime deficit to squeeze out a 22-21 victory.

53. Titans running back DeMarco Murray will not play vs Pats - Friday, January 5, 2018

NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee coach Mike Mularkey says running back DeMarco Murray will not play against the New England Patriots in the AFC divisional round.

Mularkey said Wednesday that Murray is not close enough to play Saturday night in New England.

54. He's back - Friday, January 12, 2018

About a month ago, following a Dec. 10 loss at Arizona, Marcus Mariota showed a seldom-seen side of his personality.

Clearly dejected, he seemed flustered and distraught while answering questions in his post-game press conference, even answering that he was “pissed off” about his performance when asked why he seemed more bothered than usual following the Titans’ 12-7 loss to the struggling Cardinals.

55. Titans owner dispels rumors: Mularkey not going anywhere - Friday, January 5, 2018

NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee owner Amy Adams Strunk shot down speculation that Mike Mularkey's job is at risk, saying her coach is going nowhere after helping change the Titans' culture and getting their first playoff victory in 14 years.

56. Call Titans ugly or gritty, they keep finding ways to win - Friday, January 5, 2018

NASHVILLE (AP) — Go ahead and pick against the Tennessee Titans. Count them out against the New England Patriots or call them the ugliest team left in the NFL playoffs.

A franchise only two years removed from the NFL's worst record over a two-season stretch cares only about winning.

57. Titans won't have RB Murray for regular-season finale - Friday, December 29, 2017

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans will play their important regular-season finale against the Jacksonville Jaguars without running back DeMarco Murray.

Murray sprained his right knee in a 27-23 loss to the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday. Titans coach Mike Mularkey ruled Murray out Friday.

58. Jaguars at Titans: What to watch - Friday, December 29, 2017

First down: What will the Jaguars do? Jacksonville is locked into the No. 3 spot in the AFC playoff seedings. That means there is a chance they would rest key players and not risk injuries – even though that has seldom been the M.O., of a Tom Coughlin-run organization. If the Titans win, they would most likely travel to Jacksonville for the first round of the playoffs.

59. Titans coach not yet ruling Murray out vs. Jaguars - Friday, December 22, 2017

NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee Titans coach Mike Mularkey says he's not ruling out DeMarco Murray of their regular-season finale against Jacksonville just yet despite an injured right knee that has the running back day to day.

60. Nothing ‘exotic’ about Titans’ running game - Friday, December 22, 2017

The Tennessee Titans will tell you that their success is built around the run game. Don’t buy it. “Exotic smashmouth” has become a mere shell of its former self.

Under Mike Mularkey, the Titans proudly proclaimed that everything in the offense would revolve around the running game. That strategy worked last season when the Titans ran the football effectively with DeMarco Murray leading the AFC in rushing, Derrick Henry putting in solid work as his backup and the offensive line earning accolades as one of the best in the league.

61. Cardinals' defense shuts down Titans in 12-7 victory - Friday, December 8, 2017

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals didn't get much offense against Tennessee. Their defense, though, was just fine.

The Cardinals held the Titans (8-5) to 204 yards, just 65 on the ground, in a 12-7 victory on Sunday that knocked Tennessee out of first place in the AFC South.

62. Titans at Cardinals: What to watch - Friday, December 8, 2017

1. Get after Gabbert. The Cardinals are starting Blaine Gabbert at quarterback on Sunday, and Titans coach Mike Mularkey knows him well. Gabbert was his starting QB for 10 games in Mularkey’s lone year as the Jaguars head coach in 2012. Things didn’t go well for Mularkey, Gabbert or the Jaguars that year. Gabbert has hung around the league since then and made some modest improvements, but he still is prone to mistakes, as he had two interceptions and a lost fumble Sunday against the Rams.

63. Hey 8-4: Titans stay atop AFC South by beating Texans 24-13 - Friday, December 1, 2017

NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee left tackle Taylor Lewan remembers only too well how the Titans always seemed to find a way to lose through his first two seasons in the NFL.

Now they're finding ways to win, and that's all that matters.

64. Texans at Titans: What to watch - Friday, December 1, 2017

1. Remember the Alamo, or something like that. OK, it was in Houston, not San Antonio, but the game in week four was a 57-14 drubbing at the hands of the Texans. The Titans won’t have to deal with rookie quarterback DeShaun Watson, who torched them that day. He is lost for the season with a torn ACL, but that game should serve as plenty of motivation to take care of business in a much-needed AFC South game.

65. Tennessee puts pressure on Colts in 20-16 victory - Friday, November 24, 2017

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Tennessee put more pressure on Indianapolis than it could handle Sunday.

It's happened a lot to the Colts lately.

Quarterback Jacoby Brissett spent most of the day getting up from the turf. The Titans forced a key turnover late in the third quarter and overpowered the Colts in the fourth to rally from a 10-point deficit to a 20-16 victory.

66. Titans at Colts: What to watch - Friday, November 24, 2017

First down: Exorcise the demons. After their four-game winning streak came to a crashing halt, the Titans have to find a way to right themselves in a place that has always been a house of horrors – Lucas Oil Stadium.

67. Bengals at Titans: What to watch - Friday, November 10, 2017

First down: Welcome back, Pac. Admit it, when he ended his shameful tenure in Tennessee with a year-long suspension in 2007, you never thought you’d see Adam Bernard Jones play another game in Nashville.

68. Back from bye, Titans beat Ravens 23-20 for 3rd straight win - Friday, November 3, 2017

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans know they're in no position to be choosy over how they win games.

Not yet anyway.

The Baltimore Ravens are eager to use their bye to heal up and clean up some of the mistakes that keep costing them.

69. Titans at Browns: What to watch - Friday, October 20, 2017

Rishard Matthews vs. Jason McCourty. The long-time Titans cornerback landed in Cleveland after being a cap cut by the Titans this spring. Matthews has been one of the Titans most consistent receivers this season, and it will be interesting to see how he works against a guy who was his teammate last year and should know him well.

70. Woodyard's stop helps Titans end 11-game skid against Colts - Friday, October 13, 2017

NASHVILLE (AP) — Wesley Woodyard squatted and folded his arms as his Tennessee teammates bowed in front of the veteran linebacker near midfield in celebration, deserving every bit of the attention.

71. A win vs. Indy? Finally? Depends on Mariota - Friday, October 13, 2017

If the Titans are serious about winning the AFC South division and securing the playoff berth that goes with it, it’s time to draw a line in the standings.

Their Monday Night Football game against Indianapolis looms as an opportunity to send a message to the rest of the division and perhaps to themselves. It’s time to put up or shut up. If not now, when?

72. Titans at Texans: What to watch - Friday, September 29, 2017

Taylor Lewan vs. J.J. Watt. Watt tormented the Titans when Jake Locker and Zach Mettenberger were under center. Last year, he was missing due to an injury.

Since Watt last wreaked his havoc on the Titans, Tennessee’s offensive line, led by the likes of Lewan, has improved greatly and is better equipped to handle the Texans star than when they tried to single-block the All-Pro with Will Svitek.

74. Seahawks at Titans: What to watch - Friday, September 22, 2017

Russell Wilson vs. Brian Orakpo. Orakpo dominated against the Jaguars on Sunday, including a strip sack of Blake Bortles that Erik Walden recovered. The Seahawks offensive line has struggled this season, but Wilson is an elusive target with an ability to escape matched by few quarterbacks in the NFL. Might the Titans put a spy on the Seahawks signal-caller to limit his scrambling?

75. Henry better than Murray ... for the moment - Friday, September 22, 2017

Some Titans fans have been eager for a running back controversy ever since the Tennessee Titans drafted Derrick Henry in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft.

And on the other side is Titans coach Mike Mularkey, who from the moment the Heisman Trophy winner was drafted out of Alabama has gone out of his way to state that DeMarco Murray is the Titans’ featured running back.

77. Ground-and-pound: Titans run all over Jaguars in 37-16 rout - Friday, September 15, 2017

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans are boring and bullish when they're at their best.

And opponents bear the brunt of Tennessee's bruising attack. Just ask the Jacksonville Jaguars, who were gouged for 179 yards rushing in a 37-16 drubbing Sunday.

78. Titans at Jaguars: What to watch - Friday, September 15, 2017

Taylor Lewan vs. Calais Campbell. Campbell had four of the Jaguars’ 10 sacks Sunday. Yes, you read that right, 10 sacks by the Jacksonville defense. Lewan and the Titans defense did a decent job of protecting Marcus Mariota against Oakland. Keeping Mariota upright is key, because, remember, this is where Mariota suffered the broken fibula on a sack last year.

79. Glennon helps himself with TD as Bears beat Titans 19-7 - Friday, August 25, 2017

NASHVILLE (AP) — Chicago coach John Fox thinks having a whole week to prepare for an opponent helped Mike Glennon turn in a strong performance for the Bears.

How much Glennon helped himself to the Bears' starting quarterback job remains to be seen.

NASHVILLE (AP) — Marcus Mariota thinks the Tennessee Titans gave a glimpse of just how they can play this season in their second preseason game.

Run hard, throw the ball efficiently and take the ball away from the opponent as much as possible.

82. Freshman impact: Vols’ all-time best rookie running backs - Friday, August 18, 2017

Butch Jones let us in on a little secret recently when he said his freshman running backs will play for Tennessee this season. That’s plural – running backs. Jones’ plan is to use all three freshman backs – Ty Chandler, Tim Jordan and Trey Coleman – in some sort of rotation behind junior John Kelly. Given the nature of the game, putting the football in the hands of freshmen is risky business. But Jones is taking the plunge.

83. Mularkey not happy with Titans' mistakes in preseason loss - Friday, August 11, 2017

NASHVILLE (AP) — Coach Mike Mularkey hopes his Tennessee Titans got just the wake-up call needed from an ugly loss to open the preseason, especially from some mistakes that were quite the eye-opener.

84. One gimpy WR no longer a big problem for Titans - Friday, August 11, 2017

Tennessee Titans rookie receiver Corey Davis limped off the practice field last Thursday with a hamstring injury.

Normally, when the fifth overall pick in the draft goes down with an injury before he even has a chance to contribute, there would be cause for some panic. After all, wide receiver has long been a trouble spot for this franchise, which has rolled through the likes of Tyrone Calico, Kenny Britt, Justin Hunter and Dorial Green-Beckham over the years with very little to show.

85. AP Investigation: A patchwork of justice for juvenile lifers - Friday, July 28, 2017

DETROIT (AP) — Courtroom 801 is nearly empty when guards bring in Bobby Hines, hands cuffed in front of navy prison scrubs.

It's been more than 27 years since Hines stood before a judge in this building. He was 15 then, just out of eighth grade, answering for his role in the murder of a man over a friend's drug debt. He did not fire the deadly shot, but when he and two others confronted 21-year-old James Warren, Hines said something like, "Let him have it," words that sealed his conviction and punishment: mandatory life with no chance for parole.

88. Titans will have best roster in more than a decade - Friday, July 7, 2017

The folks at Pro Football Focus recently ranked the Tennessee Titans’ roster No. 3.

Not third in the AFC South. Third in the entire NFL.

This means one of two things: Either Pro Football Focus has gotten hold of some bad videotape or the Titans finally have some really good players.

89. Titans part ways with coordinator of college scouting - Friday, May 5, 2017

We would be remiss if we let this draft get away without paying some sort of respect to long-time Titans scout and front office executive Blake Beddingfield, who was shown the door Monday after 18 years with the organization.

90. Titans draft about more than physical skills - Friday, May 5, 2017

It’s easy to look at the Tennessee Titans’ 2017 draft and conclude General Manager Jon Robinson drafted for need.

After all, he took two wide receivers, a tight end and a cornerback among his first four picks. And all of those players will have better-than-average opportunities to earn early playing time.

91. Titans have rarely found success drafting SEC players - Friday, April 7, 2017

The NFL Draft is fast approaching, which raises an interesting question: Is this the year the Titans finally shop locally and target Southeastern Conference talent?

If history is any indicator, the answer: No.

93. All eyes on Robinson as 2017 draft approaches - Friday, February 3, 2017

With the Super Bowl putting the finishing touches on the 2016 NFL season, it’s time to concentrate on next season.

That means much of the focus around the National Football League for the next three months – and, locally, with the Tennessee Titans – will be centered on the draft.

95. Robinson’s success warrants any title he wants - Friday, January 13, 2017

In the immediate aftermath of the Tennessee Titans’ turnaround season, Jon Robinson’s title was expanded to executive vice president and general manager.

Considering what Robinson has accomplished in less than 12 months on the job, I’d give him any title he wants. If he prefers “football czar,” so be it.

96. Titaned up: Success found in big moves, tiniest details - Friday, December 30, 2016

Most critics of last year’s Tennessee Titans saw unsettled ownership, a revolving door of coaches and a lack of talent at key positions. Jon Robinson saw weeds.

As the newly hired general manager made his way around St. Thomas Sports Park, he noticed a patch of weeds growing next to the building. It was an oversight by groundskeepers and probably didn’t faze others people who made their way in and out of the building.

99. Packers at Titans: What to watch - Friday, November 11, 2016

Mr. Rodgers neighborhood? Aaron Rodgers has called out his teammates for their play. You can bet they will want to take out their frustrations on the Titans, who were torched in San Diego in the air and on the ground. It will take a much better effort than that to corral the Packers offense.

100. Titans? Win the AFC South? Sure, it’s possible - Friday, November 4, 2016

In a remarkable change of course over recent seasons, the Tennessee Titans entered the month of November still relevant in the AFC South race.

And you know what? I believe the Titans are going to remain relevant – and then some. I can make the case that this team, currently 4-4, is going to win the division and make the playoffs for the first time in eight years.
