5 things I know I know.

Malik Willis is not a huge Will Levis Fan. Check out the Interview Jim Wyatt posted from Thursdays open practice https://twitter.com/philipterhaar?s=43

Yikes. With distaste he says “Understand what you are doing and can’t be successful if this is your first time” Hey dad I can’t see real well is that Malik referencing his frustrations with the Titans taking a QB high in the draft and maybe Malik not feeling like he was given a fair shot? YEEZUS that tone of voice and chippy wording was all I needed. Hey if this motivates him to be a DAWG then competition is the tide that raises all boats and lets have at it.

We heard from Peter Skoronski this week as well. Kind of love the guy. I am confident he is going to be the best player on the line this year.

Taking the Offensive line out to dinner friday before the game, playing on a field he has been to many times. Hey young fella lets knock the shakiness off and have ourselves a little bit of a day.

The new stadium was introduced by a sick video this week. https://twitter.com/fos?s=43.

I sat in on a presentation by Burke Nihill CEO of the Titans Organization this week at Nashville Business Breakfast. Great guy, very patient and well spoken. Few take aways:

The funding is interesting. They are using tax payers money for the initial build but after that, upkeep will be from Hotel and Liquor tax as well as titans pitching in2. So the mantra that this is going to cost taxpayers for 20+ years to come just is not true and that was a huge relief to me.

The venue will be similar to Geodis park but on a mega scale. Great food, several concert spots within the stadium, more local options. Focusing on entertaining along with the Vrabel winning mentality

I am so Goddamn excited for this defense. We will be top 10 in the league this year. We should have been great last year and in my mind we weren’t bad (injuries killed us) but this year we have back up plans and everything in place. The Titans did an awesome job keeping Simmons, developing Tartt and bringing in some weapons from SF 49ers. Just wow!

I am going to overreact to this First preseason game. If Malik throws one interception I will say yep thank the lord we have Levis. If Levis throws a bomb I am going to GUSH. It’s how we are wired as fans, it’s the thrill of football season, the highs, the lows. Most importantly it will give the coaching staff a marker of progress.

Betting: Preseason is difficult. I actually like responsibly taking Titans +140. This is solely based on the defense having great depth. Definitely going to be a few fumbles and turnovers but most sites don’t offer much this time of year so keep it simple
