The Tennessee Titans will enter the 2021 NFL season with a lethal offense. The side which is blessed with the most dominant running back in the league in the form of Derrick Henry, will now pose serious problems via the aerial route as well.
Quarterback Ryan Tannehill had wide receiver AJ Brown as his primary target for last season. But the acquisition of Julio Jones from the Atlanta Falcons now means that the franchise now has two Pro Bowl caliber wideouts at their disposal.

Praising his younger counterpart, Jones said he’s ready to be a guiding figure for the wide receiver entering just his third season in the league.
“He is definitely a No.1 receiver. He’s definitely a dog, and he has that competitive nature in him, and I want to show him the little things I know from experience, being in the league. But he has it all.”
Highlighting the mismatches, he, Brown, and Henry will cause for the opposition, Jones hinted at how opposition defenses will have problems one or the other.

“I mean, defenses, you’re really going to have to pick your poison,” Jones said. “If you stay in the box, put nine in the box, a guy like Derrick Henry in the backfield, you’ve got to respect him. So then, that’s when me and A.J. go to work outside. Then, if you only got eight in the box, Derrick’s going to go to work in the backfield.”

Containing the Titans’ new offensive trio is truly going to take quite a shift. Try blocking the run game, and you leave Jones and Brown wide open. Play cover defense on the two wideouts and risk the chance of Derrick Henry running riot.
