Will Levis says lack of arm strength led to interception

Titans quarterback Will Levis discussed his interception after the loss to the Colts on Sunday, saying he’d like to have that throw back.

[lawrence-related id=152027,152014,151929]Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis has thrown at least one interception in every single game in 2024. His decision-making has been questionable at best, and he tends to force throws he shouldn’t even be attempting. A prime example of that happened against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday when Levis lofted a throw in the direction of wide receiver Calvin Ridley.

Not only was the ball underthrown, which allowed Jamie Blackmon to intercept it in the first place, but Ridley was in double coverage and likely wouldn’t have been able to make the grab anyway. Levis was asked if he wanted that throwback after the game on Sunday.

“Yeah, I think I could give myself some more depth away,” Levis said. “Peter came up and told me he got a little push, but I can’t let that be the reason for the pick. But that was one of the throws today where I felt the lack of arm strength or whatever. When I feel like a healthier day, I’m throwing a better ball on more of a line, so it’s frustrating. We were able to get the ball back and make an opportunity after that, we didn’t make it work, but yes, that’s a throw I’d like to have back for sure.”

A healthier day? Levis has been practicing all week and all indications were that he was 100% healthy and ready to go. Clearly this is not the case. And while Levis can blame his arm strength for that interception, it’s really not the cause.

Levis needs to make better decisions. Period. And if he’s not 100% healthy, then he needs to let Mason Rudolph run the offense and watch what a veteran does with Brian Callahan’s scheme.
