Mike Vrabel says the
#Titans
have showed Will Levis examples of quarterbacks sliding to encourage him to get down.
That didn’t work, so Vrabel says they’ll show Levis “videos of quarterbacks not sliding and getting the shit knocked out of them” this week. 😂

rookie QB and

alum Will Levis:
“If you’re a Vol fan and you don’t like me simply because you’re a Vol fan…You better stay on that hill. Don’t change up now.”

#Titans
Mike Vrabel - 4 straight winning seasons, 3 playoff appearances, 2x AFC South Champion.
Ryan Tannehill shared after the game that he was a bit emotional in this pregame moment. He shared some words with Derrick Henry, and wanted to take the field with him to “finish things together the right way.”
He did just that.
#Titans
win 28-20.
#Titans
Ryan Tannehill jokes that he almost “went rogue” to get DeAndre Hopkins the ball at the end of the game to hit contract incentives.
“I’m out anyway. I’ve got nothing to lose.”
Amazon Prime crew giving
#Titans
praise postgame then Richard Sherman hops on the mic to be the contrarian (per usual). Says "That's cool, but AJ Brown has so many 100 yard games!"
AJ Brown only has two 100-yard games...
#Titans
CB Sean Murphy-Bunting asked if there was additional motivation today being able to eliminate the
#Jaguars
.
“You wanna know the truth? Absolutely. They gotta meet me in Cancun. It’s payback.”
Will Levis, on road on the national stage, overcomes adversity to lead two TD drives in less than 3 minutes.
In case it wasn't already obvious, the
#Titans
have their quarterback.
I've had very few issues with Tim Kelly this season but I really can't get over that playcalling...
- Trick play run
- Run
- Draw
Let. Will. Levis. Play. Quarterback.
#Titans
I know some
#Titans
fans want the best draft pick possible, and this may hurt them long-term, but this win feels significant for Tennessee.
You gotta finish and learn how to win, and what this says about Will Levis is more important than anything else.
The firing of GM Jon Robinson is just as big of a commitment to HC Mike Vrabel as it is an indictment of JRob.
#Titans
owner Amy Adams Strunk is committed to empowering Vrabel and giving him a championship caliber roster. Chose her HC over her GM.
#Titans
coaching staff needs to be held accountable. From the top, all the way down.
Consistently laying an egg in the third quarter/second half means you're getting out-adjusted and out-coached. Unacceptable.
#Titans
goal is to open their new stadium for 2026. The $2.1 Billion project includes a 1.7 million square foot stadium seating 55-60k fans.
Team also have plans to have public transit next to the stadium, and parks/green space nearby used similar to "The Grove" at Ole Miss.
#WhiteSox
Yoan Moncada is slashing .286/.409/.414/.824 with the highest line drive % of any hitter in baseball.
He has also recorded 17 outs this season on batted balls over 100mph in exit velocity.
The former top prospect is turning into a superstar. (Stats per
@Gaur_Nik
)
Media has played up impact of José Abreu on the
#WhiteSox
success this season, but also worth noting that the Sox are
16-7 since Tim Anderson returned from the IL on April 15th
8-2 when Anderson has a multi-hit game
5-0 when Anderson homers
9-1 when Anderson drives in a run

#Titans
def. Packers 27-17 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay on November 17th, 2022 (TNF). Tennessee improved to 7-3 on the season.
WR Treylon Burks had 7 catches for 111 yards, the first 100-yard game of his NFL career.
They have not won a road game since.
LSU QB Jayden Daniels says that his decision to not test at the
#NFLCombine
was less about him and more about his teammates.
By not testing, a lot of teams will be wanting to check out his Pro Day in Baton Rouge. His teammates will also get exposure from it.
While it was time for the
#Titans
to move on, Jon Robinson should always be remembered as the GM that cared about the fanbase and organization more than anything. Did a lot worth celebrating.
In Sunday's loss, the
#Titans
ran 19 plays on 2nd/3rd down and less than 5.
Derrick Henry got the ball on 2 of those plays.
18 of Henry’s 21 carries came on 1st and 10+...
Liam Hendriks was on
@WaddleandSilvy
this afternoon, and he insinuated that former
#WhiteSox
teammate Dallas Keuchel was the source of the Nightengale rumors about leadership in Sox clubhouse.
Would honestly make sense. And I certainly wouldn’t put it past him.
Brian Callahan, Ran Carthon, and
#Titans
have done tremendous with coaching hires thus far.
Bill Callahan as the OL coach felt like wishful thinking, but it's now reality. How we feeling, Titans fans?!
Disagree here. The
#Titans
got after the quarterback, made 5 field goals, had good play from their wide receivers, and arguably got too imaginative on offense moving away from Henry.
Your quarterback just can't throw 3 INTs.
#WhiteSox
fans just now realIzing how special Andrew Vaughn can be is kind of infuriating.
His bat has always been special. If you wanted him traded before, you don’t get to revel in his success that some of us have always known was coming.
Cardinals offense completed just 8/19 reps against the
#Titans
secondary during the first set of 1-on-1s.
Caleb Farley won both his reps, one against DeAndre Hopkins.
Byard went 3-0.
The most compelling Derrick Henry HOF argument is right here.
Henry has been the most dominant NFL running back for the last 5 calendar years; and it’s not even remotely close.
When you are that much better than everybody else at your position, you belong in Canton.
#Titans
#Titans
Derrick Henry just became the 4th player in NFL history to record 1,000 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns in 5 different NFL seasons.
The others? Shaun Alexander, Emmitt Smith, and LaDainian Tomlinson.
This is new
#Titans
defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson back in July of 2022 when asked about the idea of being a DC someday.
Said he's been tutored by Gregg Williams and Todd Bowles over the years and "knows how to run a ship."
Javy Baez screaming at and taunting Amir Garrett after he hit a routine fly ball to center field, while hitting .245 for a below .500 team is laughable in more ways than one
Derrick Henry is the
#Titans
face of the franchise, but Kevin Byard is the heart of the franchise. He's also still at the very top of his game and one of the best at his position around the league.
If he's not on the team, this is a rebuild, and there's no pretending otherwise.
#Titans
rookie WR Kyle Philips wasn’t on the same page as QB Ryan Tannehill on a route today. The two talked it over, and scored on the same play later on.
Great stuff from Philips here taking accountability. This guy won’t make many mistakes twice.
#Titans
now have two running backs who excel as pass protectors, route-runners, and are difficult to bring down 1-on-1.
Big fan of the Spears-Pollard combo.
Leonard Fournette just punched Jeffery Simmons in the helmet. Big fight here at
#Titans
joint practice with Tampa Bay.
Not sure what started it, but Fournette’s punch lit the fire.
WR DeAndre Hopkins is on pace to have one of the best receiving season in the
#Titans
era.
Hopkins is currently on pace for 1,175 receiving yards, which would be the 3rd highest total since the team rebranded in 1999.
K Nick Folk has been traded to the
#Titans
for a seventh-round pick.
Good value for Tennessee. Folk hit 32/37 kicks last season for the Patriots, including 4/5 from 50+.
Azeez Al-Shaair tackles Treylon Burks for a loss, gets flagged for “taunting.”
Next play - Azeez drops Tyjae Spears for a loss and knocks the ball out. Defense recovers. Al-Shaair fired up!
#Titans
camp is LIVELY today.
Odell Beckham Jr., who had 38.4 yards per game in his last NFL season, got a one-year deal worth $15 million in April.
DeAndre Hopkins, who averaged 79.7 yards per game in 2022, gets $26M over two with
#Titans
. Tremendous value.
Maybe just me, but I feel like
#WhiteSox
fans and all of baseball forget just how good Eloy Jimenez is.
His 162 Game average in the Majors at age 24:
.276 AVG, 41 HR, 110 RBI
He hasn’t even begun to fully tap into his potential. Is it weird I feel like he’s underrated?
Wildest
#Titans
game I can remember.
- 2 blocked punts (1 TD)
- Henry, Simmons, Stonehouse all hurt
- Defensive Pick2
- Missed PAT with Tannehill holding
- Levis and DHop argument
- Levis recovering a defensive fumble after fumbling himself
Bedlam.
Dobbs is the better QB but the Josh Dobbs offense looks like what the Malik Willis offense *should* have looked like. Where has this play design been?
#Titans
The
#Titans
are now 0-5 in AFC South games this season.
If they lose to Jacksonville next weekend, they will go winless in division games for the first time since... the 1982 Houston Oilers (nine game regular season).
The
#Titans
defense is winning a large majority of reps against the Bucs offense at the moment.
Coverage has been consistently stellar. Fulton, Farley, and McCreary all having standout performances.
New
#Titans
DL Trevis Gipson had 7.0 sacks with Chicago in 2021 when the Bears were running a 3-4 defense.
His production dipped significantly in a 4-3 under Matt Eberflus.
Gipson fits really well into the defensive scheme in Tennessee. A really intriguing addition.
Ran Carthon killed today’s press conference.
- Putting Mike Vrabel first
- COLLABORATION
- Getting to know the person, not just the player
- Understands the importance of excellence at QB
- Analytics to scout late round draft talent
Really impressive.
#Titans
in good hands.
