In the red corner: Tennessee Titans

We went over to /tennesseetitans to get a bit of information on the state of the team.
How has Mariota been?

“Mariota has been great. His only real problems last year were with ball security and deep throws both of which were also a function of bad o line play and receivers not being able to run proper routes.” - PitTitan

Which rookies have stood out?

The general consensus of the sub is that the 2016 5th round Tajae Sharpe is looking promising. With injuries and lack of performances in the rest of the receiving corps, fans feel the starting receiver spot is his to lose.
“Tajae Sharpe. He went from 5th round rookie to basically #1 receiver on the depth chart as of now (since Kendall Wright is injured)” - WertyBurger

What are you most looking forward to this season?

“Of course excited about the rookies on offense, Tajae and Derrick in particular.” - PartysaurusRexx
Again, the fans are excited to see how the rookies, especially Tajae Sharpe, perform. Most agree that this is the best looking offense the Titans have put on the field lately.

Optimism or pessimism on the coaching?

With this being the first full season as a Titans coach for Mike Mularky, I wanted to know what the fans expected. * While most are not on the Mularky wagon, Titans fans are optimistic about the coordinaters.

What are your expectations for this season?

“7-9. Anything less than that is a failure (barring catastrophic injuries) and anything more than that is a success. Realistically I think we are a 7-9 team. If we get there I'll be happy.” - PitTitan

How do you feel about the DGB trade?

The fans are split on this one. Some love it. They feel he hasn’t been up to par lately, and most are hopeful that Tajae will be the better option. Others aren’t so happy about it. They believe there was still potential in Dorial.

HISTORY VS TENNESSEE

The Panthers have only played the Titans 5 times since entering the league in 1995. The first time these two teams met was in the Panthers' second season in 1996, a game that ended with a 31-6 victory over the Titans, the largest Panthers victory in the series. The next 3 meetings between the teams went in the Titans' favor, and quite emphatically so. The closest of the 3 games was a 20-7 loss for the Panthers in 2007, the other two being beatdowns to the tune of 37-17 in 2003 and 30-3 in 2011. The Panthers finally answered back last season in a controversial victory that ruffled a few feathers and elevated Carolina's record to 9-0.
In the Cam Newton era, the Panthers have split their 2 games with the Titans. The first game was a sound beating that saw the Panthers put up just 3 points. Cam Newton completed 23 passes on 40 attempts for 212 yards, 0 TDs and 1 INT. He was also sacked 5 times for 46 yards. The Titans' defense was just as effective against Carolina's running game, holding Newton to 55 yards on 7 rushes, DeAngelo Williams to 35 yards on 8 attempts and Jonathan Stewart to 23 yards on 4 attempts. The Panthers' defense would only register one sack that day by DT Andre Neblett and had the best play of the day for the Panthers with a Chris Gamble Interception.
The next time the two teams met was under far better circumstances for the Panthers. Several years of Dave Gettleman drafts led the Panthers to have a much more complete roster than they had in their first meeting. With the help of a competent defense, Cam Newton was able to lead the Panthers' offense with 21 completions on 25 attempts for 1 TD. Jonathan Stewart ran for 93 yards and 1 TD on 22 attempts and Greg Olsen hauled in 8 catches for 80 yards. Interestingly, the Panthers again gave up 5 sacks in this game thanks to Dick Lebeau's exotic blitzes that exposed some of the weaknesses of our offensive line.

Players to Watch: Panthers

Players to watch
In episode 2 of Camp Confidential, Gettleman tells his coaches and scouts that they need to plug backups into the first string in order to test a players development. These are some players that are likely to be seen with the second strings but could get some work earlier.
Cameron Artis-Payne / Brandon Wegher
Game 1 was a let down for both CAP and Wegher with average yards per carry of 2.0 and 1.3 respectively. While most of the struggle can be attributed to the poor backup offensive line performance, these two don't have time for excuses.
The backup running back battle features two players that need quality opportunities, and although it's unlikely, it would be great to cut to the chase and give Tolbert and Fozzy an easy night. Either way, expect a better game for both players with CAP being the first RB to rotate in by the third series and Wegher should get some touches late in the 2nd quarter.
While both are capable of springing the big play, the job they're fighting to be Stewart's immediate backup so let's see if they can focus on consistently following their blocks for 4-5 yards rather than looking to break outside. CAP has the edge right now, but this battle should come down to final cuts.
Ryan Delaire
It's hard to say a player needs to redeem himself after one preseason game but Delaire was downright terrible. We were supposed to see a more consistent player after an off-season with the defensive coaches and also time to heal a torn labrum he played with most of last year. Instead we saw him get pushed over and run himself out of plays, finishing with 1 tackle on 35 snaps and allowed two big runs. ESPN credits him with a sack but it's tough to tell who got there first.
The larger issue with Delaire's play is he allows QBs to escape after he runs by them which not only eliminates himself but it neutralizes the great DTs pushing up the middle. The reason coaches stuck with Jared Allen and his two sacks is because he plays with gap discipline in both phases. Collapsing the pocket is a choreographed team effort along the defensive line. Delaire needs to show he understands that on Saturday.
Daryl Williams
Daryl's first series wasn't exactly how he imagined it allowing a strip sack on the first series when he lined up at LT. While it put a damper on the hype train for him to start over Remmers it's important to remember that Williams has played RT his entire career and he did seem to rebound once he slid back to the right side. The Titans play a 3-4 zone blitz scheme under legendary (and fossil) defensive coordinator Dick Lebeau so this may be a good opportunity to see the offensive line versus more blitzes than a usual preseason game. If the backup runningbacks have a solid game, it's likely that Daryl Williams was a key factor in opening holes for them.
Kevin Norwood
Bersin crushed the first preseason game with 5 receptions for 63 yards and showed reliability we dream of having from a 5th WR. But he also took a nasty hit to the ribs and hasn't practiced since. This is Kevin Norwood's best opportunity to show what he can do since he arrived in Carolina nearly one year ago. When you watch Norwood, he looks the part of an NFL WR. He's big, runs smooth routes, has good hands but preseason and training camp are about showing potential he just hasn't come close to making fans ask,"who is that?"
He might get some time with the starting lineup but it's probably safer to assume he'll get quality time with Derek Anderson. With the next game being the "dress rehearsal," now is the time for Norwood to impose himself on a 2nd string secondary like Bersin did last week.
Damiere Byrd
Byrd only caught one pass for 35 yards but what a catch it was. He also took a kickoff back to midfield and looked pretty good as a punt returner until he fumbled the last punt of the game. Byrd has come a long way from last year and is putting coaches in a similar position as Wegher put them in last year.
Derek Anderson clearly likes Byrd as a WR so don't be surprised if he is the most targeted WR when those two are on the field. If Byrd does make the squad it will be because the Panthers decide they can't risk him on waivers and keep six receivers. Should he make the 53, he would probably be inactive for most games like Wegher in 2015 but with Ted Ginn's contract up after this year having a versatile deep threat waiting in the wings could be worth the roster spot.
Tight Ends
With Olsen having back spasms and Dickson dealing with a groin pull we should get a great look at the back up TEs. Last week, Marcus Lucas was the only other TE to catch a pass. Scott Simonson has been praised by Rivera for playing his way into a roster spot so we'll probably see him getting reps with the first team offense. Beau Sandland and Braxton Deaver came into camp with expectations that one could supplant Dickson but it's highly doubtful that will happen.
