The Tennessee Titans are suiting up for their first preseason game of the year as they take on the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium.
For Titans head coach Robert Saleh, he gets a chance to face off against his former team, where he served as the defensive coordinator last season. Saleh will get to learn a lot about his team, especially when he stacks them up against the Niners, which he is very familiar with.
“This offense, Kyle and his staff, they know every single flaw or every weakness to our
(defensive) scheme. They’ve been going against it for the last 10 years. So it was really good to get a lot of the route concepts that we need to help teach the principles of our defense. And it’ll start making sense to our guys, hopefully, and in terms of how it evolved and how we got to where we are, uh, from a teaching standpoint,” Saleh said.
MCM community, how do you feel about the Titans going into tonight’s game against the 49ers? Let us know in the comments section below.

The Titans get a chance to prove themselves in the preseason opener. If I had to pick one player with the most to gain and lose, it would be quarterback Will Levis, who is entering the final year of his contract. While Levis may not be the Titans’ starting quarterback anymore, how he performs will determine how much longer his career can be. Levis can still have a very successful NFL career, but a lot will depend on how he performs in the preseason.

The Titans didn’t have a great showing in their joint practice against the 49ers, but that was almost to be expected. Robert Saleh wasn’t looking or expecting to beat the Niners, but he got a chance to learn a lot about his new team. I think there are benefits and drawbacks to the Titans going against the Niners in the preseason, but it matters how the team moves forward that will determine whether this was a positive or negative.
