    There's been no pads. Star players have been limited. The preseason won't start until later this month. So what conclusions can actually be made about the Tennessee Titans after four days of training camp?

  21. Titans training camp is starting soon, but some roster questions remain

    The Tennessee Titans begin training camp this week, but there are still roster questions to be answered. Will a revamped defensive back group hold up, even if the pass rush improves? What about kicker and tight end? The answers may or may not be on the roster, and the preseason should help reveal...

  26. 10 reasons to be optimistic about the Titans

    There's lots to like about the Titans next season. Here are 10 of our top reasons.

  27. What are the big takeaways from Titans' 2021 schedule?

    The Titans' 2021 schedule was announced Wednesday, and it's a doozy. Will they be up for the challenge? We break it down game by game.

  28. Breaking down Titans' draft picks

    How did the Titans fare in the 2021 NFL Draft? Did they address their needs? And what to make of the Rashad Weaver situation.

  29. What will Titans do in NFL Draft

    New Titans beat writer Ben Arthur joins the podcast to discuss what could happen at No. 22 in the upcoming draft. Plus, NFL.com's Chase Goodbread offers his thoughts.

  30. Titans offense falters in playoffs loss to Ravens

    The offense has carried the Titans all season, but in the playoffs, when they needed it most, it came up short.

  31. Titans win AFC South, but do they have enough for playoff run?

    The Titans did it with offense again. That might not be enough to cut it in the playoffs.

  32. Titans defense exposed again

    The Titans' defense was bad again. This time the offense couldn't bail the team out. The result was a loss to the Packers and a failed chance to clinch the division. What went wrong?

  33. Titans on verge of playoffs without much defense

    Sure, the Titans can pile up points. But they sure can't stop other teams from doing the same. What's the mean for their playoff projections?

  34. Easy win should give Titans confidence

    Just about everything went right for the Titans in their win against the Jaguars, so the victory wasn't a surprise. How they won, though, should give everyone some comfort and confidence.

  35. Trying to understand Browns' domination of Titans

    The Titans faced the Browns on Sunday and were utterly dominated by Baker Mayfield. The 41-35 score didn't nearly indicate how outplayed the Titans were, especially the secondary.

  36. Titans defense does enough vs. Ravens

    The Titans defense has been a question mark for most of this season, but it came up big against the Ravens. When the season is over, might this week be looked at as the turning point?

  37. Titans offense isn't hiding defense's warts anymore

    If the Titans' defense can't turn things around soon, the chances of making a playoff run would seem to be out of the question.

  38. Were Titans that much better or Bears just that bad?

    The Titans saw some improvement in Sunday's win against the Bears. The offense finally solved its third-down problems. Some new faces made a big impact. But how much of this improvement is attributable to the Bears ineptitude?

  39. Is Titans defense fixable?

    The Titans' loss to the Bengals made clear the problem is defense. Mike Vrabel says the issue isn't a lack of coordinator. So what is it then?

  40. Is comeback more encouraging than missed kick is discouraging?

    The Titans looked finished. But then came the comeback ... and another Stephen Gostkowski missed field goal. Should Titans be encouraged by what transpired?

  41. Offense powers Titans to 5-0 start

    The Titans beat the Texans with offense resembling a video game. But the defense and kicking game still are struggling. What should we make of this 5-0 team?

  42. Can Titans repeat dominant Week 5 performance vs. Texans?

    The Titans' 42-16 victory over the Bills was their most complete performance of the season. Now with a short week ahead of them, the question is whether they can repeat it against a team facing some adversity of its own.

  43. Steelers — and COVID-19 — provide a huge challenge

    Edit: A new version of this episode was recorded Thursday morning because of additional news. Wednesday's recording has been replaced with the latest info. The Titans (3-0) are set to host the Steelers (3-0) in Week 4 in what amounts to their biggest on-field challenge of the season. Off the…

  44. Early reactions after Titans beat Vikings in Week 3

    The Titans beat the Vikings thanks to some kicking heroics by Stephen Gostkowski again. Maybe that's not such welcome news?

  45. How worrisome are defense's shortcomings ahead of Vikings in Week 3?

    The biggest concern from the Titans' 33-30 win over the Jaguars: the play of a defense that got shredded by Gardner Minshew and run over by undrafted rookie James Robinson. Also, what's up with the 0-2 Vikings?

  46. Early reactions after Titans beat Jaguars in Week 2

    The Titans eked out a 33-30 win over the Jaguars in front of no fans at Nissan Stadium. What have we learned from their two victories so far?

  47. Should Titans be worried about Jaguars' Week 1 win vs. Colts?

    The Titans are 1-0, but so are the Jaguars after their surprising victory over the Colts. Are they for real? And we take one final look at the Stephen Gostkowski debacle in Denver.

  48. Early reactions after Titans beat Broncos in Week 1

    The Titans' 16-14 win over the Broncos on "Monday Night Football" left room for improvement, and we're not just talking about the kicking game.

  49. Predicting Jadeveon Clowney's impact for Titans

    The Titans added edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney before their Week 1 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Can he live up to the hype?
