Robert Saleh says the Tennessee Titans need patience as they fix what went wrong against the New York Jets. But with the Philadelphia Eagles coming to Nashville for Week 2, how much urgency should the Titans show right now?

Austin Stanley and Easton Freeze are LIVE ahead of Titans-Eagles, looking back at a revealing example from Mike Vrabel’s first season as Tennessee’s head coach.

In 2018, Vrabel lost his Titans debut and then had to prepare for a Week 2 game against the Houston Texans with Blaine Gabbert starting at quarterback and replacement offensive tackles. Tennessee found a way to win 20-17. Kevin Byard threw a touchdown pass to Dane Cruikshank on a fake punt, and Vrabel’s staff built a plan around the players it had available.

Austin explains which part of that response he wants to see from Saleh. Does Sunday call for more aggression, a more creative game plan or simply a team that looks ready to compete from the opening snap? The Eagles present a serious challenge, but the Titans cannot repeat the lifeless stretches that defined their 23-10 loss to the Jets.

We’ll play Saleh’s comments about fixing Tennessee’s problems and balancing urgency with patience. We’ll also revisit his admission that he would have bet his family’s assets on a stronger second-half response against New York. The Titans instead fell further behind. What must Saleh change to make sure that confidence shows up on the field against Philadelphia?

Give us your number in the chat: On a scale of 1 to 10, how desperate should the Titans be in Week 2? Is a competitive performance enough, or does this team need an outright win to begin repairing the damage from its opener?

Austin and Easton also revisit offensive coordinator Brian Daboll’s press conference after Tennessee managed only 10 points against the Jets. Daboll accepted responsibility for the result, but several direct questions produced familiar coaching phrases rather than clear explanations. We’ll play the clips at 1.5 speed and ask a question worth considering: How would fans and media react if Cam Ward answered questions about his performance the same way?

Then it’s back to Sunday. What can Saleh borrow from Vrabel’s 2018 response—and what does this version of the Titans need to do for itself?

Robert Saleh says Cam Ward is at the “floor” of what it takes to be an NFL quarterback. After the Tennessee Titans’ ugly 23-10 opening loss to the New York Jets, what does that mean for Ward’s second season—and why does Jaxson Dart appear to be further along?

Austin Stanley and Easton Freeze discuss Saleh’s explanation, Ward’s response to questions about his development and the comparison Titans fans are making with the New York Giants quarterback. Saleh pointed to the many coordinator changes Ward has experienced and said Tennessee needs to give him stability, repetition and time to grow.

That may explain the process. It does not erase the urgency of what the Titans need from Ward right now.

Why does it feel like Ward is still building his foundation while Dart looks more comfortable? How much of that difference belongs to the quarterbacks, and how much belongs to the offenses and circumstances around them? Austin and Easton work through the distinction between a quarterback’s current floor and his potential ceiling as Tennessee prepares to host the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2.

We’ll also play Ward’s remarks about his own development, including his exchange with Paul Kuharsky, and revisit what Ward said when Easton asked how critically he evaluated his performance against the Jets. What responsibility did Ward take for the missed opportunities? What does Tennessee need to see from him against Philadelphia?

Then Easton brings his Wednesday locker room reporting into the conversation. He spoke with six people representing different perspectives inside the Titans’ building: Saleh, Ward, Peter Skoronski, Jeffery Simmons, John Franklin-Myers and Wan’Dale Robinson.

Austin and Easton rank them from most to least willing to acknowledge how bad the Jets game was. The returning Titans understand why fans saw a familiar failure. New arrivals have more faith that the mistakes can be corrected quickly. Which answer sounded the most convincing—and who seemed furthest from the frustration outside the building?

Finally, Saleh and Simmons address the importance of Week 2. The Titans do not have to settle every question about their season in one game. They do need to show whether they can respond with more energy, more execution and a clearer identity than they showed against the Jets.

Join the LIVE conversation:

🏈 Why does Jaxson Dart look further ahead than Cam Ward?
🏈 What would show Ward has moved beyond the “floor”?
🏈 Which Titan gave the most honest assessment of Week 1?
🏈 What must Tennessee prove against the Eagles?
