Reading the coverage of the Tennessee Titans ...

The 12-stitch cut on Delanie Walker's thumb didn’t include any other damage, reports John Glennon of The Tennessean.

"We’ve got to get a lot better on our pass-protection technique," running back coach Sylvester Croom told Glennon. "Right now, our linebackers are embarrassing us in practice. They’re killing us. Our backs have to get a lot better at picking up blitzes."

Right guard Chance Warmack has peace of mind, and says with that he can do anything he wants, writes David Climer of The Tennessean.

Marcus Mariota's environment is far more low-key than Jameis Winston's says Peter King of The MMQB in his Titans camp review.

Mariota couldn’t get the offense a win in a 2:00 drill period, says David Boclair of the Nashville Post.

Center Brian Schwenke knows he needs to be in the middle of things for the full season, says Michael Gallagher of the Nashville Post.

Running back Bishop Sankey looks more decisive and confident running the football, says Jim Wyatt of the team’s web site.

Receiver Jacoby Ford is trying to prove himself in a crowded room, says Wyatt.

Mike Tanier of Bleacher report makes a Hall of Fame argument for Kevin Mawae, and admittedly cops out by using him as a Titan when he played a lot more elsewhere.

To which I say: The best case for a Titan is Bud Adams, as I wrote earlier.

Led by Bum Phillips and Earl Campbell, the late-70s Oilers swept the city into sports hysteria never seen before, or since, writes Chris Wessling of NFL Media.

The Titans have an 11.9 percent chance of making the playoffs, according to Aaron Watson of Number Fire.
