NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Slogans and catchphrases abound in the NFL.

In rebuilding New England right now it’s “Process. Progress. Payoff." The Broncos come out of their locker room toward their practice fields on “Compete Street.” The 49ers’ instructions are threefold: “1. Stay Humble; 2. Ignore the Noise; 3. Protect the Team.” A team theme in the Titans' main meeting room

In Carolina, the Panthers have a lasting mantra that actually lives beyond coaching transitions. “Keep Pounding” dates back to a pre-game playoff speech by late Hall of Famer linebacker Sam Mills.

Most are coach-specific and replaceable. 

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – After working a great deal in the Titans’ first camp practice, L’Jarius Sneed only participated in the lightest part of the second session.

The special program the team has set up for him is largely proscribed rather than based on how his troublesome knee is doing, but it will include more camp practice than he had last year in Kansas City, when he said he did “no camp at all.”

He said he’s healthy, but that the goal is to maintain that and carry it into Week One on Sept. 8 in Chicago.

It would seem the team would miss out on his leadership during missed practices as his experience as a high-level corner is what prompted the Titans to make a trade with Kansas City, getting him for a 2025 third-rounder and swap 2024 sevenths and then extending his contract through 2027 with $55 million guaranteed.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The football fell to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, arced perfectly to come down between closing defenders Jamal Adams and Jarvis Brownlee, quickly delivered and timed to let the receiver get both his feet in bounds as he headed out of the right side of the field. 

NWI politely asked his way back onto the field through observers after he gathered his momentum, and turned to take off as if there were yards after the catch to be had though he’d been 10 yards out of bounds, obeying the practice habit instilled in players at his position.

The mid-range out-breaking route was Will Levis’ best pass of his first training camp practice as the Titans' starting quarterback, a session that included no long passes because as the team acclimatizes it is easing into long sprints for skill players to help avoid soft tissue injuries.

The Titans are Levis’ team now, his development their biggest story, the biggest question about them around the league. His quick release and big arm are his top features, but much of his success and that

It’s been 199 days since Ryan Tannehill took a knee on third-and-12 at Nissan Stadium to seal a 28-20 Titans win over the Jaguars, eliminating Jacksonville from playoff contention and raising Tennessee’s record to 6-11.

#Titans beat Jaguars 28-20. Eliminate JAX from playoffs. Secure AFC South for HOU.

First division win this season, which ends 6-11. Big game for Derrick Henry (19-153 TD) in what could be his last w team. Nice win for Ryan Tannehill in what will be his last game w team. pic.twitter.com/LtC4HJSniw

A lot has happened in those 199 days. Mike Vrabel and his coaching staff were fired and replaced by Brian Callahan. The Titans reconfigured the roles of Chad Brinker and Ran Carthon while also reshuffling the personnel department significantly for the first time since Carthon arrived in Nashville.

The team said goodbye to franchise legend Henry – and Tannehill too – while adding high-profile veteran players like Calvin Ridley, L’Jarius Sneed, Lloyd Cushenberry, Tyler Boyd, and Tony Pollard. They drafted JC Latham and T’Vondre Sweat, adding over 700 pounds of beef to the trenches in two picks. Oh, and they broke ground on a brand new, state-of-the-art stadium.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The most important things we heard from Brian Callahan and Ran Carthon the day before Titans training camp practices begin.

Will Levis: After OTAs and minicamp while the team had its longest break of the offseason, Levis had time off but also arranged time in Cabo that also included DeAndre Hopkins, Calvin Ridley, Chig Okonkwo, Josh Whyle and Tyjae Spears, per Joe Rexrode.

Then there were some regular gatherings at Vanderbilt.

“That’s what your quarterback should be doing. You should have a guy that’s going to take a leadership role with the team, and make sure that he’s bringing guys with him. That’s a big part of leadership, bringing people along with you. And I thought he’s done a fantastic job of setting the tone for those guys on offense and putting the necessary work in to have a chance to be successful and being able to have a

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – One of the great questions of the post-Derrick Henry era is how defenses will now view the Titans.

Stacked boxes were a regular feature against Henry and the Titans’ offense. Their frequency is sure to go down against a team featuring Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears at running back and more three-wide sets.

At least at the start, it will be less clear who opponents need to focus on as the Titans' primary weapon, though Calvin Ridley would appear to be the team’s most threatening weapon.

I’ve spent some time reading Warren Sharp’s 2024 Football Preview, which provides more statistical analysis than any normal human can digest in one reading.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – If healthy.

Those two words are attached to the Titans in a big way for the 2024 season, because they are attached to so many players.

How many? Let’s look through the Titans' depth chart.

S Jamal Adams – He’s had severe injury struggles in the last four years, missing 24 of his last 39 games with Seattle. The Titans have plans to play him in various situational roles. He got a one-year contract with less than $1 million guaranteed so they clearly know dependability is an issue.

WR Treylon Burks – The first-round pick from 2022 has missed 12 of a possible 34 games suffering a
