QB Will Levis, TEN (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Faust
- Start date
On the radio, Levis said he just rolled his ankle, it isn't even sprained. Said it rolled in, not out.
High ankle sprain?
It's not that. I've had that.
Third or fourth time this year the Titans injuries are not what the staff says. If they were a better team, they'd probably be fined for it

He seems to expect to play and many said he looked good/fine.
Ankle injuries from trying to "stay alive" or absorb a hit are very common for Titans QBs. I never looked league wide but always figured it's probably true.
Tannehill had elective surgery to theoretically improve his ankle issues but he hurt his this year anyway.
Imo, that's enough for Levis.
Yes he can learn from playing the same D two weeks later, but he can also from watching what Tannehill does against them.

I think we can’t know his ability unless they fix the damn line. I don’t care if they had Mahomes back there, you need to give him opportunity to succeed.
FBG’s podcast this morning was asking whether Levis is Kenny Pickett. I really don’t see that, but they really should not take a replacement this year without fixing the line.

Will readjust this assessment if the Titans either nail or bomb the draft, but for real life still probably a project who will show flashes but struggle most weeks. For fantasy, a flyer in QB1 redraft leagues that has some upside. Probably won't get the weapons or OL to say "he had a fair chance this year" and we'll be having this same question asked this time next year.
With the Callahan and Holz hire, that means Levis gets Burrow's and Lawrence's coaches to work with and learn from.
I couldn't ask for better.
What's next? Herbert's QB coach?
Social media is saying they didn't develop Burrow or Lawrence. Yeah well when they were in the hiring cycle, that's exactly what was said. Bitter now? I don't wholly care right now. Titans got the OC they wanted for Levis and now the staff seems to be filled as many fans wanted. It's been a nice positive turn.
No matter how you slice it, Levis has had to step up in year two and we've been thinking that since the season ended.

Can we get a price check on Levis? Both in SF and start 1.
I have the top 2 picks in a normal league and the 18th pick. Is the 18th pick in IDP enough for Levis? Too much? That’s a rebuild with my only possibly viable QBs being O’Connell and Tannehill. (Also Darnold and Ty Taylor but that seems unlikely)
In SF, I’m less needy. But curious.

Charles London was an odd no rehire here. I can trust Callahan's beliefs just wanted to say why.
Willis did work with other coaches but there wasn't any QB that supposedly improved moreso than him.
Levis had decision making issues and an unwillingness to throw left. I think he had one or two INTs in eight games and threw left just fine.
London seemed exactly like his prior stops- fix this, ok done.
Levis' college tape and every writeup mentions a rugged runner not afraid to take a hit. In Mariota's day it was upsetting they wouldn't let him run and adlib. It's a different world now with more athletic QBs than not. My thinking is the same- if it's his thing that makes him comfy, let him do it because his comfort is important.
Tuesday was meeting day. Day one of what needs to be a huge learning off-season where he puts the work in.
200 ypg won't cut it.
The worst line in football won't.
One WR worth a darn won't cut it.
Change is coming and he should be a huge benefactor but he has to put the work in.
Willis has shown to be an exceptional student so he's a pretty perfect backup for off-season work setting a bar Levis has to keep up with. Do not show up to camp with Willis knowing the new playbook and you don't.
Titans widely predicted to pick Alt or a WR and Skoronski moving to T is back on the table. Tee Higgins top WR free agent is often slotted to join the Titans.
Every box will supposedly be checked, the onus is gonna be on Levis to produce

That's fair
I thought "let's see if the new coach likes Levis" and then not only did he show he liked him but he involved him in the staff hiring process. What rookie QB has ever done that?
There's no way they draft a QB in the first.
Callahan's Malik comments were something like he remembers him having great athleticism and that backups must be ready to start. That then was inferred that Malik has to step up.
Adding a QB- Callahan said they would consider adding a veteran QB. He cited both Titans stats and NFL stats of average # QBs to play sooo it seems certain they'll look for depth.
Malik is again going through an off-season program of working with famous predraft QB coaches. After the enormous improvement last summer, everyone is curious what another year will do. There's no financial reason ot depth reason to cut him before camp.
Levis is NOT going thru that same program and that stinks. The Titans clearly designed a great routine and apparently it'll die off w Malik
One year ago people were saying he doesn't throw left much and is clearly uncomfy.
He had some issues in preseason and a couple games but Hopkins was on the right and where would you throw?
It seemed Charles London fixed him up.
Ridley and Nuk owners are going to be darn curious of this, this summer tho

Sorry it works when I click it and looks correct.
Video of Callahan talking Levis. Tom Pelisero Twitter acct
The teams w new coaches can dip their toe in the water and have practices. I believe it's classroom time and walking thru plays to learn the new O and D.
Callahan spoke to the press for an hour plus yesterday which is a very cool n long amount of time.
A lot of what he said was already known. Just sort of had to have the new guy say he sees it too. That was good.
He commented a few times on Levis. One thing was how everyone knows when he's in the building, the way he walks in fired up and leading the guys.
I like how he talks of offense. He about said- we're gonna instill this offense, run it well, and be successful. No doubt. No give anyone extra time to learn coddling. Just oh we're doing this, climb onboard.
People will need some extra time and there will probably be some confusion and I guess we'll see then how it's dealt with but... how he presented himself yesterday was impressive and I think players will feed off that. I also think it sets a tone Levis can learn with and lead with.
Also following Vrabel and his big shadow, I think that was a real good showing for him
