Brian Callahan on Titans’ 3-14 Season: ‘It is Embarrassing’
The Tennessee Titans have endured a dismal 2022 season, finishing with a dismal 3-14 record. This marks the franchise’s worst record since 2015 and its first losing season since 2018. Offensive coordinator Brian Callahan has expressed his disappointment and embarrassment over the team’s performance.
Callahan’s Frustration
In a recent press conference, Callahan minced no words when describing his feelings about the season. “It is embarrassing,” he stated bluntly. “We have not met our expectations, and we have not played up to our potential. This is not the standard we set for ourselves, and we are not going to accept this level of performance.” Callahan’s frustration is understandable, given the Titans’ high expectations entering the season.
Offensive Struggles
One of the primary reasons for the Titans’ struggles has been their offensive ineptitude. The team finished the season ranked 31st in the NFL in total offense and 30th in scoring offense. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill has had a disappointing season, throwing for just 14 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. The Titans’ running game has also been ineffective, averaging just 92.9 rushing yards per game.
Injuries and Roster Turnover
The Titans have also been hampered by injuries and roster turnover this season. Star running back Derrick Henry missed nine games due to a foot injury, while wide receiver A.J. Brown was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in April. The team’s defense has also been decimated by injuries, with several key players missing significant time.
Looking Ahead
Despite the disappointing season, Callahan remains optimistic about the future. “We have a lot of work to do, but I believe in this team,” he said. “We have a lot of talented players, and we have a great coaching staff. We are going to learn from our mistakes and come back stronger next season.” The Titans will have a number of opportunities to improve their roster in the offseason, including the upcoming NFL Draft and free agency.
Conclusion
The Tennessee Titans’ 2022 season has been a disaster. Offensive coordinator Brian Callahan has expressed his embarrassment and frustration over the team’s performance. The Titans have struggled with injuries, roster turnover, and offensive ineptitude. Despite the disappointing season, Callahan remains optimistic about the future. The Titans will have a number of opportunities to improve their roster in the offseason and will look to bounce back in 2023.
