Tennessee Titans Select CB Blidi Wreh-Wilson in 2013 NFL Draft
3.8 Tennessee Titans Blidi Wreh-Wilson, CB, Connecticut (6-1, 195)
The Titans must have liked Blidi Wreh-Wilson a lot to take him in the third round. They had more pressing issues but drafting Blidi will provide depth behind starters Jason McCourty and Alterraun Verner.
The Titans are likely to switch to more man-to-man press coverage in 2013 and that’s exactly what Wreh-Wilson...
Tennessee Titans select CB Blidi Wreh-Wilson in third round
The third round of the 2013 round began with a run on cornerbacks. Three of the first seven picks were corners and the Titans made it four out of eight with the selection of UConn's Blidi Wreh-Wilson.
As Tom has noted on several recent occasions, the Titans had an urgent need at corner. There were questions about who will be the slot man in coverage and there were only...
Assessing the Titans non-G/DL first-round options
There are three basic directions the Titans could choose to go with the tenth overall pick in this month's draft. These three directions are at an offensive guard to fill the vacant starting right guard spot, for a defensive lineman to throw into the defensive line mix, or, less likely than either of the first two in my opinion, some other direction. I covered the top guards...
2013 NFL Draft: Tennessee Titans Updated Team Needs
The Tennessee Titans lost a couple of solid contributors in 2013 NFL Free Agency, but the team more than made up for it with the additions of guard Andy Levitre, tight end Delanie Walker, running back Shonn Greene and strong safety Bernard Pollard, among others. Let’s examine the team’s updated needs heading into the upcoming 2013 NFL Draft (in no particular order)....
2013 Tennessee Titans offseason positional analysis: CB
We continue our trip around the Tennessee Titans position by position as we head into the 2013 offseason with a look at the cornerbacks.
Last offseason, the Titans faced a big decision at the cornerback spot. Would they give a third contract, a big-money deal to impending free agent Cortland Finnegan, or would they let him make it to unrestricted free agency, in which case he...
Notes from Titans-Jaguars, Week 17: Defense
After writing up the offense yesterday, it's time to put together my thoughts on how the Titans defense performed in Week 17 against the Jaguars after watching the all-22. As I did for the game against the Jets, this writeup is a somewhat organized collection of my thoughts on each individual play.
1. As a reminder of what happened in the game, the Jaguars came out and moved...
Dolphins and CB Sean Smith “Far Apart” On Contract Talks
Ben Volin of The Palm Beach Post reports that the Miami Dolphins and CB Sean Smith are nowhere near reaching an agreement on a long-term deal that would prevent him hitting the open market.
A source claims that Smith is seeking a deal similar to that of Titans CB Jason McCourty who received a six year deal worth $43 million and included $20 million guaranteed. The team does not...
Tennessee Titans: Week 16 NFL Power Rankings (#25)
Last week: 24 (-1)
Record: 5-9
Net points per drive: -0.65 (29th)
DVOA: -25.9% (29th)
Weighted DVOA: -23.0% (28th)
The Titans somehow pulled out a win at home on Monday Night Football, despite having more penalties (14) than first downs (12) and almost more punts (10). This is because the Jets turned the ball over 5 times, but when teams win the turnover battle by 5, they win by...

Titans' D hopes to prove Miami game no fluke
The Tennessee Titans went from being on record pace for most points allowed in an NFL season to stifling the Miami Dolphins with their best defensive performance in nearly a year.
Now they must prove that was no fluke.
The Titans had allowed at least 30 points in seven of their first nine games and an average of 34.2, which put them on target to pass the 511 points allowed by the...
Titans take advantage of breaks to blow out Dolphins, 37-3
Well that was a change from last week's game. Showing you're never as bad as your most recent loss, the Titans got pretty much all the breaks and took advantage of them to rout the Dolphins in Miami, 37-3. The first break came after an exchange of punts to start the game-Reggie Bush converted third-and-13 with a run, but Jason McCourty forced a fumble the Titans recover....
Titans CB Jason McCourty Embarrassed By Team's Play On Defense
As one of the Tennessee Titans defensive captains, Jason McCourty is not happy with the team's performance this season, nor should be be.
The Titans are still on a pace to allow a record 544 points, giving up 238 through seven games or 34 per contest.
Asked if those numbers bother him, McCourty replied to TitanInsider.com, Damn right, it does. Thats not what we practice...

Titans looking ahead, not backward
NASHVILLE -- When Titans cornerback Jason McCourty was burned by Pittsburgh's Mike Wallace for an 82-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter last Thursday, he had a similar memory from his days at Rutgers to draw upon.
McCourty, in his fourth season, said that he allowed the bad play in college to affect him the entire rest of the game.
"I told myself at that point...

Titans Working On Long Term Extension With TE Jared Cook
The Titans already locked up Jason McCourty to a long-term deal. Now the Tennessean is reporting that the team is working on a long-term deal with Jared Cook.
While Cook has been inconsistent, there is no doubt that he has the tools to be an impact tight end in this league. If the Titans wait to see him be consistent for a season, he might decide he wants to test the open market...
Titans DT Marks doubtful for opener vs Patriots
Tennessee Titans starting defensive tackle Sen'Derrick Marks is doubtful for the season opener against New England after missing his third straight practice Friday with a sprained right knee.
Marks missed the preseason finale against New Orleans. Reserve offensive tackle Mike Otto is the only other player who did not practice and has been declared out as he recovers from hand...
2012 Tennessee Titans preseason positional analysis: CB
Next up on our tour of the Titans position by position as we rapidly approach the beginning of their 2012 regular season is the cornerbacks.
I wrote in the offseason positional analysis that I thought cornerback was the Titans' strongest defensive position in 2011. I'm much less certain that will be the case in 2012, thanks to the loss of Cortland Finnegan...
