Like the QB. None of the WR's have stepped up yet to prove worthwhile, although they're claiming Green-Beckham could be that guy. Seeing is believing for me. Delanie Walker can't be the only go-to guy. For the life of me can't figure the philosophy of drafting ac RB(Derrick Henry) in the 2nd round, after just signing Murray to the team? Don't know much of the defense or offensive line. Think this team still has a ways to go before contending.

As a lifelong Oilers/Titans fan I can say that I believe this is a 6-8 win team this year which would be a vast improvement over the past 2 years. Drafting Henry, in my opinion, was a stroke of genius. We don't need Murray racking up 25+ touches every week. Let's give him 15-20 and have Henry bowl em over with 5-10 touches each week too. Smashmouth football. Of course that all goes to pot if we find ourselves 2 TDs down each game so our rapidly improving D needs to step up bigtime and keep games close. I agree about our WRs though. DGB has great potential but needs to become 'THE' guy this season. Wright is a good chain mover as is Matthews but unless DGB steps up then I fear for our long game. Hunter is a non factor now IMO and Douglas is irrelevant. I love Walker but he needs help this season.
So much hinges on Mariota this season but he needs pass options to keep Ds on their toes. If we become a predictable run first, run second then short pass third team we will struggle again.
I guess only time will tell

Chargers vs. TitansCouple nice runs by Murray, including a 71yd td. Rookie RB Henry looked good too.

Panthers vs. TitansMariota looking good against the Panthers, completing 9-of-10 passes for 104 yards with a touchdown and an interception. He also added 13 yards on two carries. Mariota has been outstanding this preseason, with just a single incomplete pass through two games. His play action roll-out pass to Harry "Freakin" Douglas was nice. Seems like Douglas has carved out a role on this offense with his ability to play in the slot and his extensive role early in camp. Basically, he's going to make the team, nothing to get overly excited about though. Rookie WR Tajae Sharpe looking sharp, catching a game-high six passes for 68 yards against the Panthers. Mike Mularkey said "He’s made some big catches that we haven’t had here in a while." Possible sleeper? Murray rushed five times for 20 yards, but got all three drives with the starting offense. He'll have to maintain a high level if he wants to keep the rookie(Derrick Henry) at bay, though.

Titans vs. RaidersMariota completed 9-of-16 passes for 170 yards and rushed three times for 20 yards. Could be a big second season ahead of him. D.Murray finished with eight carries for 40 yards and a touchdown. The veteran reeled off a team-long rush of 17 yards on his first touch, before later punching in from one-yard out to cap off the Titans' first offensive drive. On the whole, Murray now boasts 153 yards and two touchdowns on 19 preseason carries. Derrick Henry impressing behind him as well, the Titans have to feel good about their revamped running game going into this season. Tajae Sharpe is the sleeper here.

Was certain the latest was Bishop Sankey being cut. That SOB is the reason I look at every last 'expert' opinion with skepticism. Burned me at CTM (?) as well as another, forget.

Vikings vs. Titans (Week 1)Mariota: 25/41 for 271, 2tds & 1int with 14car for 42yds. That's a LOT of carries for a QB. Not a bad stat line against what is supposed to be a good defense, but it was in a losing effort. Murray: 13car for 42yds. Only about 3yds per carry. While that's not good, he did have 5rec for 35yds & 2tds. T.Sharpe had 7rec for 76yds. D.Walker: not very impressive day, but he was targeted in the end zone, and MIN targeted him in their defensive game plan.

Titans vs. Lions (Week 2)How about Andre Johnson catching the game winning TD?!?!? I almost forgot he was still in the league. He ain't done just yet. HUGE catch on a 4&5 play that would've ended the game if not caught.

This is the team that is a real mystery to me. I have observed, hopefully correctly, that they built this team right. Starting with the lines and working their way out to the skilled players.
The thing I cannot figure out, is who are they really? They seem capable of beating almost anyone on a given day, and losing to almost anyone on another.
Most people seem to take it a given that the Jags are going to win the AFC South, and they are probably right. But if any team can knock them off, this is the one. Although a completely healthy Texan team is pretty scary. But thus far, they have had nearly as many injuries as the Colts.
