Hello from the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Maine.
I, I wanna pay attention to who the Titans are telling us represent the Titans, because a part of what's difficult this time of year for a brand new coaching staff and a team that is running a brand new scheme with a bunch of brand new players, is nailing down what exactly they are.
Like, we don't have last season as a reference point.
We don't know for sure who's going to be starting and who's gonna be where in the rotation.
So paying attention to who the Titans are trotting out for us to talk to seems important to me, especially when the way that we're doing it this year from a PR standpoint, we're not just grabbing the guys that we wanna talk to coming off the field during OTAs.
The Titans PR is giving us guys, and we've gotten nine so far.
So who are they?
Cam Ward, obviously.
That makes sense for every single team.
Then some other veterans who we know to be spokespeople for this team.
Peter Skowronski, gonna get a big fat contract and be around for a long time.
Tony Pollard, we know that he's a spoken, well-spoken veteran leader.
He's the running back one for this team.
And then Amani Hooker, he's been that guy for a long time, and he got a big contract last year.
This is where things get interesting, though.
A couple of new guys, some free agents who we know based on what they're getting paid, they're gonna be veteran leaders on this team.
Juan Dale Robinson, right?
He got paid a bunch of money to be the wide receiver one or two on this team.
We know that Daniel Bellinger was paid handsomely as a tight end to come in and be the two behind Gunner Helm.
But I think that the Titans rolling him out tells us, "Hey, this guy's gonna be involved," especially since Brian Daboll, the offensive coordinator, knows how to use him in this system.
And then the veteran, free agent that they brought in for us to talk to that I think was the biggest tell so far is Center Austin Sloteman, who for them to s- you know, trot him out, he's new.
He's had a lot of experience in this offense.
But to me that says, "Until further notice, this is our guy.
Like, this is your center.
Get to know him."
Finally, Kevin Winston and Cedric Gray, a couple of young defensive leaders who I think you can circle as guys that they expect a lot from this year.
Those are the nine they've given us so far, and those are nine guys I would pay close attention to, to be the face of the Titans this year.
