Daboll Accepts Responsibility After Titans' Season-Opening Offensive Collapse

The offensive coordinator said coaches are reviewing tape to correct play-calling, execution, game-plan balance before the Week 2 trip to Philadelphia.

Overview

  • Titans offensive coordinator Brian Daboll opened his Thursday media session by saying the offense was "not good enough" and that responsibility for the poor showing "starts with me."
  • Tennessee lost its season opener to the New York Jets, 23-10, while producing just 195 total yards and 11 first downs over 49 offensive plays.
  • Quarterback Cam Ward completed 19 of 32 passes for 140 yards and a touchdown, with three sacks cutting the official net passing output to 127 yards.
  • The Titans ran only 14 times for 68 yards despite a 4.9 yards-per-carry average, while the Jets ran 39 times and dominated time of possession, which limited Tennessee’s chances to sustain drives.
  • Daboll said coaches will meet, review tape and make corrections before working with players, creating an urgent one-week turnaround test before facing the Philadelphia Eagles and shaping early evaluations of the new scheme and Ward’s second NFL season.
