NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- There was a buzz at St. Thomas Sports Park in August as the Tennessee Titans were gearing up to start the season. The influx of veteran additions like L'Jarius Sneed, Calvin Ridley, and Ernest Jones IV, and also new offensive-minded coach in Brian Callahan, sparked high hopes.
Then the regular season started.
Callahan had some explaining to do after a 1-5 start led to a change of course that included trading wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, one of their best offensive players, and Jones, one of their top defenders.
