For a preseason game that will be light on actual stakes, Falcons-Titans will not lack for story lines. This is Falcons tight end Parker Hesse facing off against his old team, after all, and probably some other guys too.
Oh, you say Parker Hesse isn’t the headliner? How dare you. Since you’re so insistent, let’s count some other ways this will be intriguing:
- It’s Arthur Smith matching up against his old team. It’s preseason and I don’t think Smith is about to pull out all the stops to beat his former team, but he and fellow ex-Titans defensive coordinator Dean Pees would surely like to see their new Falcons do well against Tennessee.
