My Hottest Take: The Tennessee Titans' offensive line is by far their biggest weakness

The Titans' offensive-line struggled once again this Sunday as the Jags got to Cam Ward for three sacks, five QB hits, and 12+ QB hurries in their 25-3 loss to Jacksonville. The line had some decent expectations this season, but they have once again been one of the worst in the league: the Titans have allowed 48 sacks on the season in just 12 games, for an average of four sacks per game. They are ranked at the bottom in QB hits and pressures as well. All while having a mobile quarterback in Ward.

It is embarrassing considering the moves they made this past offseason, and the expected development of some of their draft picks, such as JC Latham. Kevin Zeitler, and Dann Moore were brought in as veterans to tighten up this unit, but they have somehow gotten worse.

It should scare fans, knowing the Titans are going to have to spend more picks and salary cap space on offensive linemen because they can’t protect the quarterback. I don’t know when this Titans o-line will be at the form it was at in 2021, but the Titans could use all the help they can get in the trenches.

What You Need To Know: The are lots of options for a new head coach

After Sunday’s loss to the Jags, it was revealed that Tennessee once again is looking for a new head coach. The top candidates currently are Matt Nagy and Mike McCarthy. Now I do think both coaches are solid, but they need talent around them to be good coaches.

I know it sounds strange, but more often than not, Mike Vrabel did a lot with less as the Titans coach, including developing players into phenomenal players. Nagy did an ok job in Chicago, and Mike McCarthy did a good job in Green Bay, but really struggled in Dallas.

As enticing as these two coaches sound, the Titans have also tried going the younger route, as they have looked into Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter and Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula.

Both come from great coaching systems, as Minter comes from Michigan and the Chargers, via John Harbaugh. Shula has been a part of the Sean McVay coaching system practically his whole coaching career, as he joined the team in 2017 and worked his way to defensive coordinator. If the Titans go with either of those two options, I think it will be the start of a good future in Tennessee.

Before You Go: Cam Ward and Sheduer Sanders will do battle this Sunday

The Titans need to get a win badly. This Sunday could be a great opportunity as they take on the 3-9 Browns. The Browns have had a roller coaster season, headlined by a great defense, but a bottom-five offense. Myles Garrett looks like he is going to break the all-time sack record. Meanwhile, Sanders is the third QB the Browns are using this season after going through Joe Flacco and Dillon Gabriel.

This may be the Titans' best chance to win a game until the end of the year when they play the Saints. I think the Titans' defense will be well prepared for Sanders, but the Browns' defense will be a nightmare for Cam Ward. The Titans have allowed at least three sacks in four games this season, and I can easily see that happening this Sunday.

The Titans need a win this Sunday for a morale booster, and the defense will have to be lights out, as we should be in for a low-scoring affair in Cleveland this Sunday.
