Things to watch, transforming bodies, and other Titans bullets

The Tennessee Titans play a football game today, well, kind of. While we wait for the 6 PM Central kickoff tonight from Atlanta, here are some things to read from around the internet.

• Jim Wyatt has his “Six Things to Watch” for tonight. It starts, of course, with Cam Ward. One thing that Wyatt highlights, which we haven’t talked much about, is who will be the returner for the Titans. Jha’Quan Jackson got work last week, but I’d like to see someone else this week because Jackson had his shot last year.
• Turron Davenport has a story on Jeffery Simmons and JC Latham transforming their bodies this offseason. In the time of year when everyone is “in the best shape of his life,” there is something here with both Simmons and Latham. Both guys were able to play plenty of snaps last year, but this should help them play at a higher level as the season goes along.
• Easton Freeze has a long article on how the Titans are looking to define their culture. It’s a really good article breaking down the efforts the organization is making to create a positive culture.
• In the end, Easton points out that their culture is really going to come down to Cam Ward. Winning breeds a positive culture. If the Ward is the star the organization thinks he is, the culture inside that building will be phenomenal.
• Jim Harbaugh just got a 10-year show-cause order from the NCAA for the sign stealing that was happening while he was the head coach at Michigan. That doesn’t start until 2028 because he is currently under another show-cause order. What a worthless penalty that is.
