Working the middle of the field working for the Titans' passing game
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Words that keep showing up in my notebook from training camp practices: middle and perimeter.
Middle is bolded and underlined, perimeter comes with a question mark or a light cross-out.
The Titans offense can hit plays on the sideline, of course. But their best weapons in the passing game seem best suited for the inside, and that seems to be where Ryan Tannehill keeps finding A.J. Brown and Corey Davis in addition to Adam Humphries.

As a slot receiver, we’d expect Humphries to work there. As guys who more frequently line up outside, Brown and Davis might more often “win the red line.” Route-runners try to gain an edge against coverage and leave themselves space to go get a throw in that five yards marked off from the sideline on the practice fields.
