Charles London’s philosophies are just what Titans’ offense needs

If implemented, Charles London’s pass-game philosophies are just what the doctor ordered for the Titans’ offense.

One of the biggest issues Tennessee Titans fans and media had with the Todd Downing-led offense in 2022 was the fact that it ignored the team’s best playmakers far too often.

When I say best playmakers, I am of course talking about wide receiver Treylon Burks and tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo, the only two pass-catchers to show any semblance of life in what was a putrid pass attack.

However, they simply weren’t given enough opportunities.

Granted, Burks did miss six games due to injury, but in the 11 he played he only saw 4.9 targets and 3.3 receptions per game, which is astounding when you consider how badly Tennessee needed help.

It might have been even worse for Okonkwo, who was even more impressive than Burks when the ball was in his hands.

Chig saw just 2.7 targets and 1.8 receptions per contest, mostly because Downing apparently didn’t know he existed over the first seven games, a span that saw Okonkwo get just eight targets, five of which were caught.

Thankfully, Chig and Burks both saw more action as the season progressed, but again I stress how that wasn’t enough given the struggles of Tennessee’s offense through the air.

Knowing that and everything else that went wrong, it was no surprise to see the Titans make significant changes on the offensive side of the ball, with Tennessee hiring a new offensive coordinator, among other moves.

One of those other moves was the hiring of passing-game coordinator and quarterbacks coach, Charles London, who recently revealed his “Pass Game Philosophy” at the NFL Quarterback Coaching Summit.

Among his points of emphasis was a simple yet important one that is great news for the Titans’ offense: “F.T.S.” or “Feed The Studs.”

“‘F.T.S’ …. ‘Feed The Studs’ …. Get the ball to your best players,” London’s presentation slide read, per Aaron Wilson of Click2Houston.

Because you might need a magnifying glass to read it from the pictures above, I’ve gone ahead and listed each of the bullet points from London’s presentation below, along with some thoughts on some of them.
