Titans' lack of contested catches still a big issue
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Three points of emphasis were especially big for Ken Whisenhunt’s offense over the offseason.
Two of them have gotten better.
The Titans scored a touchdown just 48.7 percent of the time they were in the red zone last year. Currently they are tied for fifth in the league, with a TD percentage of 73.3 on trips inside the opponent’s 20-yard line.
The Titans were hoping for more production from Justin Hunter in winning the fight for pass completions.The Titans converted just 30.1 percent of their third downs last year, and now they are 39.2.
The third item -- contested catches -- is harder to measure, but clearly not better.
