After Sunday’s game, Titans’ Calvin Ridley has reached his breaking point. He was pretty disappointed after not recording a single catch in the last match where they lost to the Colts by 20-17.
After the performance, he was unable to keep himself calm and blurted out some words that shouldn’t have been spoken on record. What can you do, it’s what it is.
In this match, he was targeted eight times, many of those didn’t come until the fourth quarter. His Only Production came on an end-around carry for 9 yards. That play was the driving force behind his frustration as the team is in deep trouble. The Titans are now dropped to 1-4 on the season.
Here is what he said after the game. “I need some of them in the beginning of the f—ing game, too. Shit’s getting f—ing crazy for me. It is what it is. I sucked today. I gotta do better. But I gotta get the ball a little earlier in the game so I can be in the game so I can play well, also.”
Well, it’s good that Calvin is acknowledging his struggles but the blame cannot be shifted to a single player. After all, football is a team sport.
We must also acknowledge the struggles of Will Levis.
In Sunday’s game, Will threw for just 95 yards on 16 or 27 passing. He also threw a pick and has now thrown one in five consecutive games. With this, he is now tied with Patrick Mahomes for the longest such streak in the NFL. Mahomes has often made up for his miscues but the same cannot be said about Will.
If Levis continues to struggle, the Titans coach might have to step in and replace him. The veteran Mason Rudolph is a great choice, who played well while leading Tennessee to a win over Miami two weeks ago.
