Music City Miracles
I was listening to Robby and Rexrode on 102.5 this morning, and they did a list of their five most important Tennessee Titans for the 2025 season not named Cam Ward. We all know that the most important thing for the Titans this season is to see Ward progress and hopefully become the franchise quarterback this team has been searching for since Steve McNair.
Here are my 5 most important Titans for 2025:
The Titans have had a problem with at least one of their offensive tackles for a long time now. They signed Moore to a 4-year $82 million contract this offseason. Signing Moore allowed them to move last year’s first round pick, JC Latham, to right tackle, which is the position he played in college. The best way to help Ward succeed is to protect him.
The Titans don’t have a lot of weapons on offense. Ridley has the ability to be one of the ten best receivers in the league. His chemistry with Ward has been really good. If the Titans are going to have a chance to be good on offense this season, they need Ridley to be healthy and good. The second best way to help Ward succeed is to surround him with weapons.
Just like on offense, the Titans don’t have a lot of great players on defense. Simmons is supposed to be a great player, but he hasn’t produced like that in the last couple of years. He showed up to camp this year in “the best shape of his life.” Now we need to see that translate to All-Pro level production in the pass rush. The Titans are bad at EDGE. If they are going to pressure quarterbacks this season, they are going to have to do it from the interior.
As I said above, the Titans are bad at EDGE. They spent a second round pick on Oladejo, who has all the tools, but is raw as a pass rusher. How quickly can this staff help him use those tools to get the quarterback on the ground? They’d better hope it’s sooner rather than later.
Of the 5 on this list, I have the least confidence in Sneed, who missed the majority of last season with a quad/knee injury. He also missed the majority of the offseason recovering from a procedure on his knee. If the Titans’ defense is going to have any chance to stop anyone, they are going to have to cover well. Sneed is the most talented corner on the team. Will he be available?
Who would you add to the list?
