Which traits define the Titans DNA and what could potentially swing their season.
Robert Saleh gives Tennessee a steady hand. A 78.8 Coaching Direction grade is a plus, even if the staff still has something to prove.
Tennessee's quarterback situation is too uncertain. A 72.2 QB Stability grade makes that one of the biggest problems on the roster.
Tennessee has not played well enough lately. The 65.0 Recent Performance grade is the clearest warning sign for the Titans.
Can Carnell Tate be a true #1 WR? Tate going that high was somewhat a surprise around NFL circles. The Ohio State star will look to silence critics as the offseason work picks up.
- PFM Staff
Tennessee is No. 31 in the latest PFM rankings with a score of 70.8. That lands the team in our Needs More Help tier. Inside the AFC South, the Titans are No. 4. PFM sees a fairly even team on both sides of the ball: 66.9 on offense and 69.5 on defense. Coaching Direction is the best grade at 78.8, with Robert Saleh leading the staff. That is a big reason for the Work in Progress archetype. Cam Ward gives Tennessee a workable answer at quarterback. The 72.2 QB Stability grade, No. 29 in PFM shows there is still room for more.
There is still a 13.9-point gap between the best and worst grades, so the roster is not as balanced as it needs to be. At 65.0, Recent Performance is keeping expectations in check.
