Titans offseason improvements are 'intriguing'

[ASFN Admin]

With the Tennessee Titans poised to start offseason team activities (OTAs) in the coming days, it will be interesting to see what unfolds and how all the new faces and coaching staff mesh as they attempt to get the franchise back on track.

General manager Mike Borgonzi has done a masterful job at retooling the roster, and the team appears to be much improved heading into the next phase of the offseason. Zachary Pereles of CBS Sports broke down the new-look Titans, and came up with one word to describe the improvement.

Tennessee Titans: IntriguingPlayer who exemplifies it: Keldric Faulk

Last year's Titans were, frankly, not very interesting. For every flash Cam Ward showed -- and there were plenty -- there were two or three bad plays, either by him or by those around him. The defense was pretty awful, too. But the additions this offseason intrigue me, including new coach Robert Saleh. Will he show significant improvement from his rough run with the Jets?

As for the players, can Carnell Tate be the reliable, high-floor WR1 he's billed as? Can Faulk capitalize on his size/athletic potential? Will Jeffery Simmons and John-Franklin Myers just destroy everything up front? Can Jermaine Johnson II get back to his prior form? Can Alontae Taylor and Cor'Dale Flott carry over improved play from last year? The Titans won't make a real jump to contending, but I'm at least interested by this roster.

While there is a sense of excitement surrounding the franchise, there are still quite a few questions that must be answered, and those come at some important positions along the interior of the offensive line. There is no doubt that the team has improved during the offseason, but if the line cannot protect Cam Ward, those roster improvements could be overshadowed.
