USPA NEWS - Tennessee Titians football season is in full swing. Ninety strong at training camp trying to make it through until the final cut. This year player cuts won't take place weekly but rather all cuts will be done at the end of training camp when the Titians have to trim the roster to 53 and only 47 will dress for games.
I had the opportunity to visit with my friend and Assistant Head Coach and Defensive Coordinator in his 58th consecutive year in the NFL as a player and coach. Probably the most humble and gracious person someone could ever meet. His back ground and accomplishments go full circle.

Now starting his 3rd NFL season with the Tennessee Titians, quarterback Marcus Marriott is healthy and ready to lead the Titians. Coming off a disappointing 9-7 2016 season the Titians are showing promising outcome for 2017. Coach LeBeau said he is very pleased with their draft selections this year. Defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau is in his 58th consecutive year in the NFL. Fourteen as a player, then he began his coaching career. As I had to opportunity to talk with coach LeBeau we discussed the players today vis. players when he played. He said,"hen you get to this level their all good". Two things seem to separate a good player from a great player, mental stamina and attitude. The game as become so more complex in its offensive and defensive skims. More pressure on players to preform and excel. Coach said one key factor at this level may not always have to do with having all the best players, but rather finding that chemistry that brings a team together. Many eyes are on the rookie wide receiver Corey Davis, from Western Michigan. Although Davis although Davis is dealing with hamstring issues at the moment. With actuation of number 87, Eric Decker this gives more offensive weapons for Mariotto target. Strong talent from ruining backs DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry will make things interesting for defensive to try and stop the ground game of the Titians. Defensively coach has a solid line up front and continues to fine tune the defensive backs. The last time the Titians won AFC South championship goes back to 2008. They lost the AFC Championship to the Ravens 13-10. The Titains have talent, speed and experience and the mental and winning attitude on their side this year. Can they produce that all important chemistry that will deliver a Championship?
