Titans' Latham: Key to Unlocking Offense

0:00On March 28th, the Tennessee Titans' offensive line is still the big question mark heading into this offseason. They've got new coach Robert Salah, stacking the roster with star playmakers on fat contracts, making them way better than last year. But protecting quarterback Cam Ward is priority one, especially after he got sacked 55 times last season. Signing Wandel Robinson was huge for weapons, yet it won't mean much if the line crumbles again. They cut center Lloyd Kushenberry, leaving a hole with no quick fix, so they're banking on current guys to step up right now. Fans and analysts are watching JC Latham closest, the seventh overall pick from the 2024 draft. He's solid, not bad at all, but per PFF stats, he's just middle the pack among tackles. For Ward to shine and the Titans to compete, Latham has to make that expected leap. Under new line coach Carmen Brasillo, Latham's draft pedigree gives him the best shot to lead the charge. It often takes Ricky's time to hit stride, and he's not underperformed yet, but the team stuck between tough spots up front.
