NASHVILLE – It's time.
Well, almost.
After a long offseason, training camp and preseason, the regular season is upon us.
A few NFL Week 1 games have already been played, in fact.
The Titans kick off on Sunday in Denver.
Let's jump into the weekend mailbag to check the pulse…

William Young from Las Vegas, Nevada
Question: Hi Jim, I pray all is well and I'm ready for a Great season! I understand why so many people are picking the Titans to win just 6 games this season? Mainly because we haven't been good over the last 3 to 4 seasons! But I'm High on the Titans this year! And because they are playing in Mile High this week I'll pick them to win 23 to 21 over the Broncos! And to finish on a high note, I pick the Titans to go 10-7 this year and make the playoffs! And a bonus, Cam Ward throws over 4,000 yards! Mark it down!
Jim: Noted, William. I'll remember this prediction in January. See in in Vegas next month.
Harry Prentiss from Murrells Inlet, South Carolina
Question: I believe this offense if the retooled O Line can keep Ward upright this offense can be be pretty darn good. I'm not sure that Callahan is capable of both being both the play caller and the man in charge as last year he was ill equipped to do both although to be fair that offense could have made anybody look bad. Is it smoother this year with Cam already looking better than our QBs last year?
Jim: I think things will be smoother this year, in Year 2 of Callahan. Let's face it, he didn't have a lot to work with last season, and the QB situation doomed the team. I think there's reason, or reasons, to believe things will be better this year.
John Olive from Nolanville, Texas
Question: Hey Jim, what is going on with Titans Radio. From midway last season to the start of this one. I'm u able to listen to the games. Have tried 104.5 app with no luck. I live in Texas but originally from Henry County. Help a Titan fan out. How can I listen to the games.
Jim: Hey John. Good question, and I learned something on this. I took your question to Rhett Bryan, Executive Director of Titans Radio. His response: So, the NFL has a geo fence around the markets. 150 mile radius from Nashville. This includes the Titans App and 1045 the Zone app. If you listen from a (desktop) computer, not an app via Titans or 1045, you can listen anywhere in the world. The alternatives are: Sirius XM subscription or NFL+ subscription. Hope this helps.
Hector Hernandez from Teziutlan, Puebla; Mexico
Question: Que tal Jim como estas? Antes que nada te mando un abrazo solidario por la perdida de tu se�or padre. Bueno ahora quiero comentarte que no sere el fan cr�tico y duro en contra de mis Titanes, aunque no he estado del todo contento con algunas decisiones respecto a reforzar el roster tengo muchas dudas en el tackle izquierdo con Moore, siento que nos hace falta un ILB para rotacion, pero d�nde veo el mayor problema es en la posicion de QB todos sabemos que Cam sera el titular y deseamos que le vaya bien para el bien del equipo pero sino? Allen no es la respuesta en el backup y as� puedo seguir dando mis inconformidades respeto a cada posicion. Pero hoy quiero comentarte que ya tengo mi boleto para estar en el Nissan stadium para el juego contra los Texans rival odiado al menos para mi, voy a viajar con mi esposa y mis dos hijos todos fanaticos de los TITANS y este sera el segundo a�o que asistimos. Deseo de corazon que al coach Callahan y su staff le vaya muy bien y pueda ser una temporada buena para
Jim: Gracias, Héctor. Han sido unas semanas difíciles, para ser sincero. Extraño a mi padre. Dan Moore es uno de los Titans que realmente tendrá que demostrar su valía. La directiva y los entrenadores creen en él, y ahora tiene que demostrarles que tienen razón. En cuanto a Cam, creo que será un buen jugador. Pero cometerá errores de novato y pasará por momentos difíciles. Las cosas no van a ser perfectas. Pero me gusta su carácter. Espero que tengas un buen viaje a Nashville en noviembre. Buena pregunta sobre la carne de cerdo desmenuzada. Me gustan los Martins y los Edleys.
Bobby French from Camden, Tennessee
Question: Dear Jim, I asked an A.I.(gronk) what 3 plays are the most likely to give Cam Ward the most success to throw a touchdown. They are as follows:(1)Deep Flood (Gun Bunch) 2.Curl-Flat (Gun Trips TE) 3.RPO (Run-Pass Option) with a Slant/Go Read (Shotgun). Jim, do you think the A.I. is correct in its assessment?
Jim: Not sure about A.I. as a playcaller, Bobby. We'll see what Callahan has cooked up.
Christian Drolet from Quebec City, Canada
Question: Hi Jim. Before the 2024 season, many Power Rankings put the Washington Commanders in the bottom of the league (between 26 and 30). Do you think it is exaggerated to dream of Titans being the Commanders of 2025?
Merci et bonne journée!
Jim: I think that's the hope, but those are some lofty goals. Merci et bonne journée!
Ramon Fuentes from Antioch, Tennessee
Question: PLEASE GET SOME OXYGEN TANK READY FOR THE DENVER GAME.
Jim: Personally, I think Broncos are more of a concern.
KD Thompson from Nashville, Tennessee
Question: Just wanted to reach back out for anyone else who is fearful of bad team circumstances hurting our rookie QB, just know that Russell Wilson & Peyton Manning won QB competitions as rookies, and eventually won super bowls with their teams! Cam Ward's poise is ahead of his years and our O-line should be a different animal this year. HAVE HOPE & TITAN UP
Jim: Thanks for weighing in, KD.
Bob Easley from Austin, Texas
Question: Hey Jim, I'm excited about the season ahead and project a 9 win season😀✅.
However, my question is beyond this season. I understand that Levis remains under contract through next season. Please confirm this, but if true, this is of value to the organization as Levis could potentially be our #2 QB next year or could have some trade value. So, my question is, how did his surgery go and is the projection that he will be able to return to action next training camp? Or could it possibly even be this year that he could return so if a game late this season is decided in the 3rd quarter, he could go out and demonstrate his recovery? I just don't see any news about his recovery. Thanks in advance. Bob
Jim: Hey Bob. Per Brian Callahan, Will's surgery went well. He's not playing this year, I know that. Check back in January or February about his prospects for next season. Will has to get healthy first, and right now it's all about Cam.
Evan Foust from Champaign, Illinois
Question: What's going on Jim? So out of all the free agents the titans signed this offseason, which one or two are you most excited about seeing playing this upcoming season?
Jim: Hmmm. Curious to see how Dan Moore performs, and looking forward to seeing Cody Barton in action as well. Also, it's going to be cool watching Tyler Lockett work after seeing him from afar for so many years.
Greg Greenwell from Nashville, Tennessee
Question: Because rookie QBs often are difficult to prepare for, the Titans jump to 7-10 this season after fixing three things: 1) offensive line (with the help of getting rid of the ball quicker), 2) ST blunders and 3) turnover differential. Titans were only completely out of three games last season - Bills, Lions and Commanders.
Back to the 7-10 prediction, tell me your thoughts on these wins:
W2 - Rams
W3 - Colts
W5 - @Cardinals
W11 - Texans
W13 - Jaguars
W15 - @49ers
W17 - Saints
Jim: I don't do predictions any more, Greg. My thoughts on those wins? They'd all be good ones…
Have a great weekend everyone!
