Offensive Scouting Report

  • Invest all of your resources into making rookie QB Marcus Mariota the face of the franchise. His talent will allow you to run a unique offensive scheme.
  • Bishop Sankey turned in a decent rookie campaign at HB last season, and hopefully the new QB and offensive system will allow him to continue to improve. Remember that he’s an elusive-style back with some hands despite his solid strength.
  • Justin Hunter is a good physical receiver, but give the snaps to Green-Beckham and see what he can become. Use Kendall Wright and Harry Douglas as your best targets over the middle, and look to pick up yards after the catch.

Defensive Scouting Report

  • Derrick Morgan rushing off the edge as a LB should be a nice change of pace for the defense. Use his power moves and acceleration to get after the QB. Pairing him with LE Ropati Pitoitua will protect him in the run game, and they will make a great combo.
  • Having the veteran LB Brian Orakpo provides an excellent opportunity. He’s the perfect fit for the Titans’ defensive scheme. Keep him together with Jurrell Casey to give extra support in the run game. Don’t give up on your young MLBs, because their speed is excellent.
  • The Titans’ secondary is average, so try to draft a safety who can allow your defense to take more chances. CB Jason McCourty is still the leader and has solid speed. He can even get in on the run game and make some tackles.

SCHEDULE

Key Players

  • Walker isn’t the biggest or fastest target, but he can consistently find holes in the defense.
  • Walker is one of the best run blockers in the game at the TE spot.
  • Casey doesn’t have the biggest frame on the team, but he’s still extremely strong against the run and pass.
  • Slide Casey inside on passing situations to keep him on the field.
  • Work on Henry’s catch to use him on the short pass.
  • The Titans need a solid back. Continue to work with Henry and use his youth to turn him into a perfect fit for your scheme.
  • Green-Beckham has the size to become a TD-scoring machine at the next level.
  • Continue to develop his route running to turn him into a threat all over the field.
