HOUSTON – Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud has had a great weekend so far after participating in the 2024 Cactus Jack HBCU Softball Classic and the 2024 NBA All-Star celebrity basketball game.
NASHVILLE — Tennessee Titans coach Brian Callahan clarified Wednesday why he chose Dennard Wilson as his defensive coordinator. “I wanted the best defensive coach I could find and I believe we did with Dennard,” Callahan said during a press conference to introduce the Titans’ new defensive and offensive coordinators, Wilson and Nick Holz. As he explained when he was hired as Tennessee head coach, Callahan will call plays on offense — an atypical relationship between NFL coach and coordinator, but one that Callahan worked as a coordinator under Zac Taylor in Cincinnati. But the keys to the Titans defense, Callahan made clear Wednesday, belong to Wilson.
Wilson didn’t get into what type of scheme the Titans will run on defense, but he did speak to the mentality he wants.
We are going to talk about effort and how we play. We are going to talk about having obnoxious communication. We are going to talk about brotherhood, playing as one. A team that fails to connect is a team that fails to win. So, the connection and how we play, communicate, and jell will allow the defense to come to life. Because when they believe in one another and trust in one another to execute their assignment and play at a high level, you get outstanding, violent defenses.”
