Commentary: The Tennessee Titans enter the 2024 season with a radically different look and feel, signaling the dawn of a new era. After a disappointing 6-11 finish last season, the team underwent a significant transformation, starting with the hiring of Brian Callahan as head coach. The departure of long-time leader Mike Vrabel marks the end of an era defined by tough, physical football centered around the power running game, led by the now-departed Derrick Henry.

The Titans’ offense, once synonymous with Henry’s bruising style, will now have a more diversified attack with the additions of Calvin Ridley, Tyler Boyd, and Tony Pollard. Ridley and Boyd bring experience and reliability to a receiving corps that has been inconsistent in recent years, while Pollard offers a dynamic, dual-threat option in the backfield. These changes indicate a shift toward a more pass-heavy offense, though the team’s success will largely hinge on quarterback Will Levis. Levis has shown flashes of brilliance but struggled with consistency during his rookie season.

Defensively, the Titans were among the league’s worst in 2023, particularly against the pass, ranking 30th in pass EPA allowed. The acquisitions of L’Jarius Sneed and Chidobe Awuzie are clear attempts to shore up a beleaguered secondary. The Titans’ season will likely be defined by how quickly the team can adapt to its new identity and whether they can avoid the inconsistencies that plagued them in 2023.
