Scouting the Titans
Head Coach Mike McDaniel
(On what he’s seen this season from Tennessee and their starting quarterback Will Levis) – “It’s cool to watch a guy come into a team with other players that are very much capable. What I’ve learned from afar is that it’s not about him. He was just chopping wood, but you can learn a lot by just watching and listening. You watch how guys play with him on the field and you can tell he’s earned the respect of veteran players. And you either have that or you don’t. As a quarterback, there’s nowhere to hide. So it’s cool to watch him progress and I think he is capable of making, I think pretty much every throw. They have some guys that can really catch the ball that you’ve probably heard of and teams – we can attest as we’ve had plenty of times that we’re going through some adversity, but you can tell by the way that the Tennessee Titans play in terms of how hard they play and their passion, that it’s just a matter of time that team is at the top of the division with Coach Vrabel. So to be a part of that team and to own the respect of his teammates, I think says everything.
They have a very strong secondary. Those guys punch the ball out after flying to it with great skill. Our primary goal is to protect the ball, as we have done throughout the season. We also want to make sure that Tua (Tagovailoa) is in the right place and to score points at every opportunity we get to play.
Many guys, in my opinion, have been making an effort to go above and beyond. Over the past two years, you’ve had a variety of people visit the building and speak to your team. I can see that people are paying attention. Furthermore, it’s extremely difficult to resist going above and beyond when Zach Sieler and Christian Wilkins demand that groups get together.
