Personal news: Due to recent budget cuts, my time at the NFL has come to an end. Working on
@AroundTheNFL
has been the highlight of my career, and I’m going to miss the great people I met along the way.
On the bright side, I’m heading to FOX Sports at the end of the month!
The 8-2
#Titans
have: (1) the longest active win streak in the NFL at 6 (with 5 straight coming against 2020 playoff teams), (2) the best record in the league, (3) the toughest schedule played thus far, and (4) the most injuries of any team.
BREAKDOWN: Unreal play by Kevin Byard - elite level preparation, recognition, and instincts
#Titans
Here's a mini-breakdown of Byard's first career pick 6:
We started the Around the NFL Podcast 11 years and over 1,600 episodes ago. We didn’t take a single break in all the years since, which is part of what made the last six weeks so heartbreaking. I never expected our last show on May 23 to be our *last show,* but here we are.
THE BOY
@_willcompton
came in Sunday, played 51% of snaps and racked up 6 tackles.
Look at him sprint from the weakside to make the stop in this first clip. And the last clip here, his tackle on Jackson led to the punt allowing the
#Titans
to drive down for the go-ahead score.
If you’re gonna force a pass, throw it to the hall of famer or the young superstar.
Tannehill gave that game away.
#Titans
D-Line turns in an all-time performance and gets sent home.
Thanks to everyone who has reached out during this bizarre moment in time. We have a lot to catch up on — a *lot*— and I’m beyond excited about what we have coming up next.

Had the Titans lost (as many fans were hoping), they would've moved up from 7 to 6 in the draft.
A one-pick cost to knock your division rival out of the postseason feels worth it.
#Titans
were incredibly boring all year. No one wanted to see them in the playoffs over Jacksonville. But I promise you, Titans-Chargers would’ve been a better game than this
It would be one thing if the Patriots were straight up walloping the Titans, but it is really hard to watch the referees have such an impact on a playoff game

Today, Titans Twitter came together and accomplished something that will make everyone's experience on the timeline a little bit better each and every day. Well done, folks.
I identified 10 TDs in '18/'19 that would've been stopped short w/o

So here's a thread called "Touchdowns Made Possible by Corey Davis Blocks," starting w/ Davis moving Patrick Chung out of the gap in the

2018 beatdown of NE.
Brian Callahan is building an ALL STAR coaching staff for the

.
One of the biggest pluses of Callahan as a HC candidate was the idea that he is well connected around the league. That is proving to be true. To recap what we know so far:
• New DC Dennard Wilson was
Ryan Tannehill when asked about Earl Thomas:
"A guy we have a lot of respect for and are going to have to account for."
Earl Thomas when asked about Ryan Tannehill:
"If Tannehill tries to pass on us, I don't think that will go in their favor."

Getting Isaiah Wilson in the first and Kristian Fulton in the second is actually the same as getting Kristian Fulton in the first and Isaiah Wilson in the second if you think about it

3rd and 10.

get a first down, they win the game. Marcus Mariota throws the lead block to spring Derrick Henry for the game-sealing run. TITANS ARE MOVING ON IN THE PLAYOFFS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2003

Takeaways from
#Titans
win:
-Tannehill started slow but bounced back and did more than enough to secure the victory. Couldn't have won the game without those deep shots to Burks and Moore
-This defense is legit. Gave up 24 points to a good Chargers offense but managed huge,
Will Levis is the guy. We can all see it.
Pass protection was spotty at best, 2nd half playcalling did him no favors.
Extremely difficult situation at the end with no timeouts, too close to the end zone to find anything open deep but too far to throw underneath with so little
So excited for Week 1. Can’t wait for the Titans first offensive drive.
I can see it now: incomplete pass on 1st down, run for 2 yards on 2nd down, sack on 3rd-and-8.
Football is back!

desperately needed
#Titans
fans, this weekend we are rooting for:
-ARI to beat IND (Saturday)
-PIT to beat KC
-BUF to beat NE
If all three go in Tennessee’s favor, Titans will leave Sunday having clinched the AFC South and holding the 1 seed.
