- Will Levis enters his second year after showing flashes in his rookie season. But he'll need to make a whole new first impression on new Titans Head Coach Brian Callahan. Is Levis ready to take the next step in his game and be the franchise quarterback that Callahan and his coaching staff can build around?
In this video, we breakdown what Levis does well and where he'll need to improve to be the QB that Tennessee needs.

Absolutely no one is saying they’d prefer Mason Rudolph over Levis I guarantee you
I am
why do people watch this video and take the wrong thing away everytime lmao
@@dreamer5687maybe the dude doesn’t communicate his point very well.
@@Sakattack2023no he explained it fine. This is a dumb takeaway
@@roderickclerk5904😂😂😂
This is a great vid. Week 1 will be a great indicator of Levis’ patience as Eberflus and the Bears 2-high defense is built around bending and not breaking, waiting on the opposition to slip up for them. Will he be able to consistently read out the field, play on time, and take what the D gives him all 60 minutes, or will he get frustrated and force something deep trying to make a play. It’s an intriguing matchup imo.
The patience of said defensive backfield is what bolsters an otherwise okay pass rush the Bears have. Montez Sweat is always a big time threat off the edge, but interior wise, they're easier to stop.
If Levis can't get the ball out fast, he never will. He's also gonna have to be real damn good at Pre-snap reads. The intermediate level is going to be key against that D.
@@huddahhuddah3315 I agree. As a bears fan I’m biased so I have to tell you our interior unit is great at run stopping,but you’re right they’re young and inexperienced pass rushers. But the Callahan offense does seem to be built to beat the bend don’t break O. Levis should do well. Again as a bears fan I’m personally hoping it takes at least a week or two for them to get it together 😂Would love to start 1-0
@@Big.steppa.reese0 I think the Bears will start 1-0, but that's because the run game of the Bears will have a coming out party, and Caleb probably won't have to really do much. That o-line in the run game is going to shock some people this year.
Away from the run game, Caleb has 2 wide receivers who can basically get open at will, and Rome Odunze who is a coveted prospect.
Shane Waldron's scheme is a perfect fit with the personnel. I'm excited.
@@huddahhuddah3315yeah, if the Bears can’t run the ball effectively then I think there is a great chance of the Titans winning. I’m a Titans fan, so I could also be a little bias, but our secondary is not going to be an easy first unit for Caleb Williams to go up against. But also our interior line is pretty good, especially if our second round pick, who is a run stuffing DT, plays well along side Jeffery Simmons. It’s an interesting matchup for sure. With a little bit of bias I’m gunna say it goes 24-20 Titans.
@@jeremyg8286 I return your bias with my own bias.
27-21. The run game being cornered will open Caleb’s arm to get to Moore and Allen.
Also brought in best avaliable center. And one of best corner duos in league.
I’m not big on chito as a titans fan. Bro got benched last year
the Hopkins intended pass that was int but should have went to Burks. I think Will might’ve seen Hop throw his hand up and just launched it to Hop because he trusts him, not realizing that Hop was meaning go to the open man (Burks) up top.
There are some caveats to comparing the Bengals QB's last year to what Callahan might actually wants to do.
1. Most of the quick passes were because Burrow just straight up couldn't move for the first 4 games of the year, they had to get it out quick because he couldn't do what he normally does and evade pressure
2. Even when Burrow is healthy he gets the ball out of his hands incredibly quickly. Look at 2022 stats, Burrow just likes getting the ball out fast, partially because of the bad O-Line, but deep passes can also be quick passes
3. A lot of the offense in Cincy is Zack Taylor, Callahan might run a very different offense.
4. The Bengals did A LOT to help Browning out. They used more pre snap motion, and more of all the little things that help QB's with Browning than they did with Burrow.
Most of this knowledge will fly over peoples head. I think some valid points were made with bringing a spread offense, but as you said: Cincy needed to play quicker the last two years especially last year. Really excited to see how Callahan molds around this new team.
If Levis fails it wont because of lack of help thats all I gotta say. He has potential tho
I think the comforting thing with Levis is that most of his mistakes probably stem from the limited system he played in during his college years as well as the fact that he was a rookie that didn't get to start week 1, which further limited his experience. None of even his more egregious errors are things that I am not entirely confident could be ironed out and fixed quickly with less than a season of turnaround.
Wasn’t his college system considered a pro style offense though?
@@Deezlrow yea but that term has completely lost its meaning nowadays. One of the main concerns with him heading into the draft that probably led to his slide into round 2 was exactly that. Teams allegedly liked the physical upside but felt that unlike Richardson who had shown flashes, Levis had essentially been playing High School ball
Titans might surprise a few people this year.
With two running backs that can go out and catch the ball.
And a new coach.
Titan up. 🤘
Yeah, Henry going out on 3rd down hurt the team,predictable play calling, and Henry’s numbers.
@6:02 I love those runs by Levis like Steve McNair.
The only resemblance is the jersey.
@thatonewriter8043 I'd say scrambling and ability to force missed tackles. Hard to compare those guys' passing abilities between 2 vastly different schemes in 2 vastly different rules eras.
He's got a lot of potential, cool to see :)
This is how you build around a young qb
Lewis isn't the young QB to build around.
@RustyShakleford01 how you know?
@@proudgorilla2808 I'm good.
wonderful breakdown
Bro I loved this video, good stuff. New sub
This is some great stuff i subbed. What background music do you use?
When your front office set your offense up the way the Titans have, it quickens the whole process for the young QB... LISTEN!!!!!! LEVIS HAS SO MANY WEAPONS WITH EXPERIENCE... SOMEBODY'S IN TROUBLE !!!!!!!!!
The Adams build their team to get payback at Houston not to be good.
Between the colts, jags, and Titans, I'm worried about the Titans the least. I doubt they will make anything happen in the division.
@@zxt5148bro we don't care about the texans lol. Yall keep whining about our uniforms that we finally agreed to let you use the color so y'all would stfu.
We had the most cap in the league and used it. New offensive HC, best o line coach, beast d coordinator. We eating good in the nash and this is only the beginning
@@RIPdBOON "agreed to let us use" bro its our color. Its on our city flag. Pretending columbia blue somehow belongs to the oilers is like saying Gold and Black belongs to the steelers and not pittsburg.
Like you know that color was associated with our city long before the oilers existed, right? You didn't let us do anything.
all those y'alls makes you sound like a redditor. Nobody is concerned about the Titans in the AFCS.
Really the Titans have a pretty solid quarterback room no matter who they put up there. I'm a Rudolph fan and hope he gets some snaps next year or maybe ends up starting for a few games again if there are injuries or the other QBs don't work as well as they hope.
Good video ..
I think Levis is the future of the Tn Titans?
I think with better coaching, better weapons, and a better o line the sky is the limit for Will Levis?
And the media ranking him #32 is crazy 😧... let's start there. I think in this new throw heavy offense his arm talent (top 10 in NFL) will be on full display ?
But who cares what i think .....
Will Levis is about to put the league on notice!!!!
I don't have many doubts about it.
I think the answer is yes. But I think the titans will be a second half of the season type of team or at least it might take their O all of September to gel.
I don't doubt they'll be bottom of their division for a long time.
@@ADUSNnah man the colts exist
@@Sizzllllnn *Jaguars
@@Sizzllllnn The colts are the sleeper team in the AFC. Watch
The Colts and Jags have good things going on. It's hilarious how everyone is holding the 4-win disaster year against the Colts when they had a mummified Matt Ryan, two terrible coaches, a developmental LT (who has become a stud), and no pass rush outside of Buckner. The Jags WERE the Texans literally last year and also did not get worse despite injuries and bad luck.
I don't think the Titans are doomed, but this is gonna be another rough year. Levis is a Minshew type QB who can get you some wins, but he's not the guy. Fortunately for them, with another 4 or 5 win season, they can pick near the top of the QB pile. Without Vrabel winning games they should be outmatched in, like the Dolphins game, the tank should continue unimpeded, and they should be in the top 5 next draft. From there? Titans could be as in it as anyone else, though I don't honestly have much faith in their front office.
Tbf, i would have ignored burks on that play starting at 9:49. I mean you have Dhop who's been your bread and better waving that he's open, and as he's essentially the only "real" WR you have on the field last year so you throw it to him.
Meanwhile Burks has had a bad case of the drops the last 2 year and hasn't really gotten open as often or performed as regularly and consistently as even NWI (who is probably the Titans current WR 4). All of this while also having the worry about the pressure that is inevitably about to hit you and may be less than a second away given the Titans oline last year.
Essentially Levis trusted when Dhop waved he was open he'd get open or be able to make the play.
I had the same idea. Trying to force it a bit but Dhop’s hand went up to point to Burks but Levis took it as a wave and let it rip to where his hand was motioning. Probably thought “Dhop got me.”
Good stuff! Titan Up
You can see levis make Josh Allen type plays rookie year
If he can get the little stuff aligned he can be awesome
Im a Lions fan but I respect the Titans letting the draft come to them, they spent a pick on Willis in the 3rd round and then went Levis in the second. I think too many teams overdraft QBs based out of desperation, what the titans are doing is rolling the dice on lower end draft capital on higher rated prospects and building a foundation at the same time with thier 1st round picks and FAs. Not sure why but I like this approach, I think it forces QB competition instead of handing the keys to some overdrafted guy and it won't set you back to far if you whiff on a 3rd rounder in Malik Willis and circle back for a QB with a 2nd rounder.
Willis was the worst QB I've ever seen play in the NFL
I have a good friend from college who went to preschool with Mason Rudolph in Leesburg VA
Cool story
im here after the twitter vid😂😂😂
Tennessee should play to his strengths. If his Adot is #1 in the league, that means he's looking downfield and concentrating on wide receivers instead of the rush. The pass rush doesn't seem to bother him which is a rare trait.Titans added Ridley,Boyd,Pollard to Hopkins and Spears this offseason.They could be a playoff team if the offense gets in sync.
Levis is better than people think he is
It helps if you have an offensive line and more than one dependable reciever (D-Hop), lots of drops by the others. I wouldn't say he is inaccurate considering those two issues. The WR and RB rooms are definetely upgraded as far as catching the ball goes. I say he has a jump in completion % similar to Josh Allen after his first year when everyone was questioning his accuracy. Hopefully not as many INT's though.
i mean im pretty sure he had the lowest on-target percentage in the nfl
@@ilngsisfhwhile also being the most pressured with 28 sacks behind the 31st ranked o line. With only 1 receiver as well.
I don't think the nfl world is ready for Levis year 2 leap. It's gonna be special man
I wish him well.
I understand that Callahan will bring a "bengals style" offense to Tennessee. But, they have both talked about the film they are watching together: Joe Burrow, Peyton Manning, and Matt Stafford. While I do believe Levis will take more short and intermediate targets (as he should), there will be more deep shots than the bengals offense of recent years. Levis has a stronger arm than burrow, I promise that a guy like callahan who has worked with numerous elite qbs in his career, will not shy away from utilizing Levis' arm.
When this kid got drafted
I called him this generations Favre
All the dumb throws of Favre, way less upside. Levis is not getting a second contract unless it's as a backup.
@@thatonewriter8043preach
@thatonewriter8043 receipts for dayzzz. Levis year 2 leap is gonna be special and he will finish top 10 this season. Man I'm so excited we drafted him tbh lol
@thatonewriter8043 ... you've made your point in nearly 20-other-posts... in just this one video. Can you show us on the doll... where Will hurt you?
Literally everyone says this and it’s wrong every time
I'm not sure if Levis is that dude, but he's fun to watch, and the most exciting prospect they've had in a long time. If they can run the ball, they might make some noise in that division.
He's arguably the QB with the least potential in the AFCS. I have more faith in Trevor and AR15 than Levis, and Stroud is by far the best QB in the division.
AR may have a higher ceiling because of his athleticism but Levis is by far the best pure passer. I would put him 2nd only to Stroud but not by much. I also think Stroud will have a slump this season. I'm not even going to talk about trevor
@RIPdBOON
CJ Stroud is special!! 😎
@@edwardflores7108 I agree, after seeing CJ in an interview recalling from memory every coverage on every single play the guy asked him about, I think he's the real deal. He's obviously got all the physical traits, and apparently all the mental ones as well.
@@zxt5148 I'm curious as to how you know his potential. The guy has a rocket arm and is built like a running back. If he can get his reads cleaned up, his ceiling could be incredibly high.
I don't get the dirty pocket reference
“I also have no problems playing in a dirty pocket if you know what I mean”. No, no I don’t know you mean. Please elaborate. Is this on Patreon?
Hope he good since he be hated for no reason the experts keep saying he won't work out .but they so wuiet about Young ....only one guy said he won't work
What do you mean? "See if he's the guy they want."
Ran carthon moved up to draft him...he's the" Guy they want".
Willis bout to take over🤷🏾♂️
No sirr
Willis is going to ride the pine. Bro is buns
Gotta have bruks out there
He has the tools and now weapons, no question it’s time to put it all together. I have no doubt in Will Levi’s worth ethnic just hope he can remain the same and not let the hype and money change him. I think he has that Tom Brady mindset
“That’s my Quarterback”
Those replays from last season, man... The worst o-line ever. And Levis never flinched. Titans will be locked and loaded this time around. Super interested to see how he does.
Blaming the oline is a way to cover for a subpar QB.
“He almost seems better throwing in a shitty pocket then when kept clean”
I’m pretty sure he led the league in pass percentage from a clean pocket….
Or ask what D Nick Sorenson will run in SF, with Brandon Staley being Assistant HC. The site will explode.
...what did you mean?
Bro didn't even say Treylon Burks when mentioning the wide receivers
why would he? haha
What did he call Henry? 🤷♂️
If Callahan was an architect of the offense he was building a hut in a Rio de Janeiro favela. His offense sucks and every big play downfield was just “hey they can’t double everybody, throw a go ball” not to mention the horrendous short yardage play calls. So much goddamn inside zone out of shotgun on 4th/3rd and 1. The only redeeming quality is that he understood the strengths of his offense and made sure the oline wasn’t under a lot of stress
Let Malik Play!!!
His biggest weakness is he locks in on Hopkins too much. I've never seen a WRs point to someone else who was open like Hopkins did on that play.
I think hop was really his only consistent receiver so he had total confidence in him. Levis might have thought hop was asking for the ball. Burks not being reliable may have influenced levis to focus more on hop. but I remember watching Burks being wide open. It didnt surprise me though that Levis didn't even see him
@ClassicRideSociety This was still his biggest mistake of the season because the scheme was one of the best playcalls of the season. When I watched the play live, I was thinking Burks was going to be open deep the moment he went in motion. Burks has better top speed than stand still, so if he turned up, whoever guarding him would need help. They were not helping on Burks, so I swear when Levis went to Hopkins, I was thinking I bet Burks was wide open. If I knew this, then Levis has to know it. It should have been the one time he looked to Burks first.
The problem with Burks is his inconsistency. You can't trust him to be healthy and if he is you can't trust him to catch the ball. Literally it was Hopkins or punt last season. With more weapons he should drastically improve.
Maybe if he gets 3 + years to start he could grow. But he's guessing a lot.
As a fan. I hope he doesn’t suck cus I think he will based off of the titans in general. Every decision they make tends to be terrible.
That go ball was Offensive pass interference
Sure would be a shame if the Titans took the 8th best lineman top 10 who can't handle a CB blitz to save his life or deal with speed
i wasnt crazy about the pick, hope they can coach him up
im sure you know more about evaluating tackles than a HOF bound Oline coach
your not wrong i hold a grudge for the chargers now lol. with that said brain callahan himself said he looks to quickly answer problems by seeing what they can do instead of just talking about what they can't or are bad it. i expect early struggles for the hole team but am optimistic for the team.
You’re a casual
@@Rodrick-rx4hd & I'm sure no HOF o-line coach ever made an error evaluating o-line talent.
OK, if people thought Malik Willis was the best QB in the draft, he would not have been available in the third round. The people that do mock drafts decided he was the best in a horrible draft and they know amount of shit. And Mason Rudolph despite being in a much better QB draft was drafted like 10 spots sooner than Willis was in a terrible draft.
Plus he had a TON more accolades coming out of OSU than Willis at Liberty. Who’s ever had would’ve exploded from saying Rudolph is going to be better than Willis is a football idiot. I don’t think it was a Faran conclusion that Willis would not be better, but to assume it, is just dumb.
You gotta ban the casuals from commenting 😬😂
Titans play calling the last few years has been predictable and remedial. I still scold them for one of the worst trades in NFL history……..i miss AJ….
When will had wandell Robinson he eent off in Kentucky i knoe its college but he was good against Steelers...
I think Trevor is weakest Qb in division
The Titans are a team that can at floor go 2-15, ceiling go 12-5 they are a sneaky good team, we will only see
That one Hopkins TD was horrible OPI I'm sorry
Mason Rudolph???
Ugh… please no.
Malik Willis … sux
everyone knows this stop harping on it move on.
It also helps he won’t have a head coach that wants to run it up the middle forty times a game anymore. I loved Vrabel for the success he had here, but holy hell man he’s a terrible head coach for modern day football. His entire system was constantly being shat on by former players and it was disheartening as a fan.
The titans still exist?..
Titan up🛡️
@bells4455 it's funny I don't recall there being a lot of "titan up" in that afc title loss to kc,.. or the super bowl loss to the rams,.. or basically ever,...like do yall actually "titan up" when it matters or yall happy with being like bills and bengals fans with no titles or anything of consequence to talk about lol again just curious
no
Why don’t you marry him
And people say Richardson is better.
Why can't he be
@@jameshollister8294 BC he hasn’t played football???? People acting like it’s his breakout year and he has like less than 100 snaps and only one year of college
yea its their opinion though your taking people opinion and giving it to much attention. respectfully rent free

Stop with the can Levis win now. Of course he can or he has just as good a shot as the other AFC South QB’s who haven’t won anything
No
As long as the Adams family runs the Titans as a attempt to get revenge on Houston and not to be a competitive team the Titans will never go anywhere. They'll just continue to desperately steal legacy players and coaches from the Texans and be the mid team they always where.
a Texans Fan talking about being Mid and never going anywhere. 🤣
@@elgee9768 Yep. We have experience with the Adams we know. As long as they own the team the Titans will be irrelevant
No.
titans have no oline and Bill Callahan is overrated coach

I'd prefer Mason Rudolph
U must be stupid 😂
MALIK WILLIS IS THE ANSWER
