Tennessee Titans Tickets

Tennessee Titans Tickets

It is an intriguing season to be a Titan fan. There is a refusal to believe Chris Johnson could have as difficult a time as he did last season after a lack of preseason and a holdout. Yet, Tennessee Titans tickets are no longer a chance to enjoy a rare live commodity, the type of running back who can turn any touch into a touchdown. In 2012, these fans would accept taking a handoff and creating a first down. LP Field is full of fans hopeful that Johnson soon returns to his former All Pro form or that the infusion of youth begins to pay dividends.

That youth includes Jake Locker, a quarterback many were surprised was taken in the first round. He is an excellent athlete and has a knack for making playground plays out of the pocket but is inexperienced inside the pocket. He does not possess an overly strong arm and has issues with the NFL basics, reading the defense and going through his targets. Locker has been pegged the starter in place of veteran Matt Hasselbeck to get him the experience to make those very reads and to cycle through his looks. Hasselbeck made this an easy decision after completing his regression into a game manager over the course of last season and this preseason.

Youth also defines the defense. In players like defensive tackle Jurrell Casey, middle linebacker Colin McCarthy, and corners Alterraun Verner and Jason McCourty Coach Munchak has his future core. Every level has a new player stepping up and guys defensive ends Derrick Morgan and Kamerion Wimbley and free safety Michael Griffin are going to serve as great mentors. If these two groups happen to play well at the same time later in the season, then the Titans could have one of the best defenses in the second half of the season.

That is quite an if-then statement, but Tennessee managed to turn a desperate season around in much the same manner once Johnson decided he needed to breach the 1,000 yard mark by the end of the schedule. Given the lack of depth in the AFC South, the Tennessee Titans may come very close to repeating as 9-game winners or reach 7 at the very least.
