Titans vs Saints Preview
Both teams are looking to improve upon their 7-10 records last season. The Derek Carr era begins for the Saints after New Orleans added the former longtime Las Vegas Raiders starter. After nine seasons with the Raiders, Carr is ready to start a new chapter of his career.
Carr started 15 games last year, throwing for 3,522 yards, 24 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. He’ll be facing a formidable Titans defense that allowed 21.1 points per game last year.
“I’m very confident, but that doesn’t always equal wins,” Carr said. “I just want to go out there, compete, play good football, play the type of football I know that I’m capable of, the type of football I’ve been playing all offseason. But it’s going to be tough because we’ve got a tough matchup this week.”
He will be without star running back Alvin Kamara, will is serving the first of a three-game suspension doled out by the league. New Orleans has gone 3-7 in games without Kamara, so Carr and company will be at a slight disadvantage.
On offense, Tennessee will be led once again by quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who is entering a contract year. The Titans veteran signal-caller threw for 2,536 yards, 13 touchdowns and six interceptions in 12 games last season.
“I’m excited to go attack this season,” Tannehill said. “My mindset is to do everything I can this week to go win this game and keep doing that as the weeks go by so we’ll be in good shape.”
The Titans also added veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, which should help Tannehill. There’s also All-Pro running back Derrick Henry, who had a league-high 349 carries last season for 1,538 yards and 13 touchdowns in 16 games. He was easily the best part of a Titans offense that averaged a paltry 17.5 points per game.
Heading into their matchup against the Saints, Titans head coach Mike Vrabel says the team is focusing on controlling what they can control. “An emphasis on fundamentals,” Vrabel said about what his team is focusing on heading into Week 1. “We can all say they’re going to do this and they’re going to do that and pull stuff out of the sky, but really we don’t know. We have no idea. We have to go down there and play fundamentally sound, play with great effort.”
