Preview of the Tennessee Titans

 

 It is safe to say that the Tennessee Titans do not want to repeat their last place finish in the AFC South from a year ago after they finished the season at 6-11. Some notable offseason transactions though have made the Titans a little more competitive from a year ago. 

It was a nightmare of a season in 2023 for Tennessee, but throughout the struggles, they may have found their franchise quarterback in Will Levis. Levis played in nine games last season and showed some very intriguing signs when he took over the helm of the Titans. 

Tennessee put Levis in a much better situation to succeed this year with some of the new weapons they added for him. Despite losing longtime Titan, Derrick Henry, the Titans offense looks a lot better than it has in previous years. 

To replace Henry, they went out and added a star running back in Tony Pollard for the next three years. But this isn't even the biggest headline in the new acquisitions on this offense. To pair along with DeAndre Hopkins, the Titans also signed Calvin Ridley to a massive deal and Tyler Boyd as well to fill out the receiver corps. 

Along with their rival Texans, the Titans are atop of that prestigious list of best receiving corps in the NFL. The Titans not only upgraded immensely on offense, but the defense is looking sharper as well. One of the biggest defensive acquisitions was when Tennessee got their hands on L'Jarius Sneed to take over their cornerback room. After winning two Super Bowls with the Chiefs, Sneed has made his name as one of the NFL's premier cornerbacks. 

The Titans finished in the middle of the pack in total defense last season, but with the addition of Sneed and others, their ranking will certainly boost up. Tennessee has certainly added some talent, but will that talent translate from paper to the field?

ACC & Big 12 Approves new CFP Revenue Model

Image
 Are They ACCtually in Trouble? Sage Rubin, Swish Tribune Despite moving to 12 teams, the College Football Playoff is set to move to 14 teams in the coming years. However, this time, there is a twist: Both the SEC and the Big Ten conferences are set to take 58% of the generated revenue, while the ACC and Big 12 are set to take 32% of the revenue, leaving Notre Dame and the G5 to take the other 10% of revenue. While this may seem like a no-brainer for the ACC and Big 12 as this ensures at least a somewhat large share of the pie in a world where we are beginning to see two power conferences emerge… this was a much more dangerous decision on the ACC’s end and here’s why. FSU and the ACC are currently in a lengthy legal battle involving FSU trying to set themselves up for an exit from the ACC, citing that the conference has hampered their ability to compete with the competition. The most prominent example of this was the controversial College Football Playoff Selection Show that aired ...

My Knicks Trade Deadline Wishlist

Image
Written By: Spencer Teman, of Swish Tribune The NBA Trade Deadline is just days away and many teams are in need of making a move including the New York Knicks. The Knicks have been one of the hottest teams of late, being 9-1 in their last 10 games, but they are not anywhere near perfect as a roster just yet.  The Knicks already made one of the biggest trades in the NBA this season when they acquired OG Anunoby from Toronto, but their next move needs to be centered around acquiring another shooter that can play valuable minutes off the bench.  Once the Knicks are fully healthy again, they have a tremendous starting lineup, but ever since they traded away RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, and also with multiple injuries, their depth has been tested. The only way you can be successful as a team in the NBA is to be able to knock down 3's at a highly consistent rate.  The perfect guy that comes to mind for the Knicks, who fits Tom Thibodeau's wishlist, is Bruce Brown. Bruce Br...
