Tennessee Titans Film Breakdown: Will Levis was WORSE Than Expected vs. New York Jets
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 พ.ย. 2024
- In today's film breakdown we look at Tennessee Titans' quarterback Will Levis and his uneven performance against the New York Jets in Week 2. Levis made a huge error when he lateraled a ball backwards for a fumble, but the tape shows a much more grim experience than the television copy. Levis routinely missed open player and made bad decisions with the ball. On the flipside, there is always some good and Levis made some throws in this game that keep you excited for who he can become, but it is fair to be worried at this stage.

To me, this shows that Cally’s play calling isn’t as bad as it’s coming across. Both sides are scheming up plays, but there is something fundamentally wrong with how Levis plays QB.
@@Sudomarkii yeah people hating on Cally are crazy. I want less first down runs in the 2nd half but he’s calling plays scared of Levis.
@@TicTacTitanslevis is 100% predetermining where he's going with the ball pre snap. Not going through reads
What's good is this can be corrected by playing more. I honestly think that he was reading the field in the first quarter and after the turnover he mentally just got zapped. Experiences like Sunday should benefit him. With this new offense he looks like a rookie again
I used to think he was calling scared plays and need to open it up but clearly will levis is not ready. He should be thr backup in this offense and once he makes the right reads consistent in practice then bring him out this is bs qb play
Levis is in a brand new offense he just learned, hes still a rookie that's only played 11 games, give the kid time to develop.
Thank You Tyler for this recommended breakdown.....Love you bro 👊
My lord smh.... People saying I'm overreacting.. I don't even care anymore. I cannot defend this guy anymore. He's not doing the Elementary QB stuff😢 Please Will, prove me wrong! I love the Titans and I like Will but he's not the guy to take this franchise to another level. Again Will, I'm begging you, PLEASE, prove me wrong. I've seen this with Mariota, Young, Locker, etc. Just can't get out of QB hell
Edit: Excellent breakdown Tyler 🎉
Yes he is and he had a fine game
@bridgelaurie9490 lol
Bruh why u begging a stranger u weird u not even on the team 😂
@@Titan29861 keep it moving
@@Titan29861yeah, bruh.... isn't it obvious!?!?
He is a Titans fan (duh) that's why...
He wants the Titans to succeed... and for that to happen... will Levis has to play better...
Go troll somewhere else bro.... get off my guys nuts!!!
Why would you troll a stranger???? In real life you would get whooped on!
Titan Up....
F off
Think he’s waiting for the big play route too much
Looked like Hopkins was visibly upset, looks like he throws his hands up like WTF thewhen the ball is mid air
Looks like Ridley and pollard out there playing while Levis and burks out there betting of following the “script” 😂
I promise I said he was point shaving
Excellent coverage and analysis Tyler. You show me things I have never seen in my five decades of watching the NFL.
Those were some nicely schemed up plays. We gotta capitalize on them if we wanna win moving forward
@@dafundraiser563 yep they were there
The guy is a second year quarterback, 11 games under his belt, new head coach, lost the most important Titans player in a decade (DH22), his favorite target from last year has been essentially a no -factor so far due to injury, is learning a brand new offense that is drastically different than last year, and is doing so with a first time playcaller.
The real issue with his game right now is the “YOLO, Hero Ball” mentality he carried over from last season. Considering the situation he was in as a rookie? I get why he developed that mentality, because this team was lost all season and had no identity outside of DHen, and by trying to be the hero, he gave us one truly special game when he came back in that MNF vs Miami. We needed THAT Will Levis for THAT game- but now, THAT Will Levis doesn’t fit the new offense, because the scheme is actually good and doesn’t require going off script or chucking up 50/50 balls to score. I genuinely believe Will is more than capable at learning and eventually mastering his role in the scheme. This stuff takes time. Repetition. Increased chemistry with the new playmakers.
And I will also add, that we haven’t seen Will face a bad defense (maybe Miami last year?) in his career so far. He’s mostly faced top 10 defenses in pretty much every game of his 11 game career so far.
Will all that being said? Great breakdowns in this vid, regardless. I may disagree with the severity of these mistakes and don’t feel that these mistakes are the kind that are intrinsically tied to who Levis is/will be as a QB- but I fully agree with your interpretations of these plays.
Man hell nah yall didn’t do that with Willis you gave him 2 games
@@matador2554 exactly!
We need to Start using NWI and Jackson on offense! NWI is a reliable receiver and Jackson has the speed to take the top off a defensive. Definitely need to utilize them more than Burks.
These film breakdowns are much better than the LockedOn content. I'll come back for this. On LockedOn maybe less screaming...just a thought...I know you're a fan but the screaming undermines your credibility. This calm analytic film break down makes it clear why you're good at your job. Well done.
Great work Tyler. I share your frustration and enjoy the honest breakdown of the film.
One more "wtf are you doing?" moment and I'm giving up on Levis. Like, you've played football your entire life. You get paid millions. And you still just toss the ball up in the air on your way to the ground. Like whyyy?! Mistakes like that are just.. baffling. Especially 2 weeks in a row? It's wild.
Great job Tyler. Was at the game so watching those mistakes hit different in real time at Nissan. You managed to change my mind about Will til at least the bye lol. Thank you! ⚔️
Brian might bench Levi’s if he loses to Malik Willis in week three.
@@jeremylar8542 I think he gives him to the bye but shouldn’t bench him
Thanks for breaking this down. I can only watch the games from home. Had no idea of the missed opportunities and bad decisions. Levis needs to stop being a big game hunter and start taking what the play design is and what the defense gives him or he will never be successful.
Awesome content as always sir.
@@TitansRossi thank you!
im a patriots and lions fan,but I had to subscribe to your channel 💯.I live in Nashville,and watch titans every sunday.
Great stuff as allways!
@@sirvuko777 🫡🫡
I’m a relatively new Titan fan(only my second year actively paying attention though ive been a general fan my whole life bc I’m from around Nashville) and I have to say, there’s no wonder people don’t take us seriously. Y’all are some of the biggest fair weather fans I have seen. Tons and I mean tonssss of quarterbacks miss receivers especially when they’re getting pressured out of their mind the whole game. A few of the plays broken down it’s clear that the “open” receiver is likely the last in his progression and by the time he would make it to that receiver he’s about to get sacked or a defender has their arm on him. Like that Hopkins pass people think he should have thrown it’s easy to freeze frame and say look he’s wide open he has to throw that ball, but he is the last in the progression as all other receivers are on the right side. And by the time he makes it to Hopkins the Jets rusher is already reaching his arm out at Will. If he tries to throw that, there’s a good chance he is stripped or arm hit while he throws and that’s an interception probably. I’d say his biggest problem right now is the fans expecting him to be a freaking top 10 qb already when he just isn’t and anyone who thought he would be is crazy. He’s still getting used to the speed of the NFL with the new offense. People just give up on young players way too fast, give him some time. And as far as the dumb stuff, I’ll agree that’s stupid and should never be done. But that’s easily correctable and has been way overblown. He’s just got too much hero ball in him right now but I think he’ll grow out of it. As he plays and adjusts his processing will get a lot faster and he’ll get better at reading defenses pre snap so he can find the open receiver before the snap.Most quarterbacks take time to be good, don’t be spoiled by CJ. He’s the exception not the rule. Have some faith people it’s only week 2. He deserves the season and if he isn’t the guy then we can move on, but give him some time. Nobody thought we were Super Bowl contenders so who cares how many games we win or lose. I want to win every game but the reality is we won’t and the only goal of this season is to see if we have the quarterback for the next few years because even if we make the playoffs we aren’t going to the Super Bowl so what does it matter.
Great stuff here, Tyler!
Great break down Tyler. I’ve worn eyeglasses since the first grade. Maybe WL needs a pair?
Big thing with this team is growth if they don’t learn n grow as the season goes on it’s bad… so we will see, I think they have a chance to be a decent team
Great Breakdown
What you have is a qb who does not have veteran elite qb to teach him. He was raw coming out of college. He was thrown into the fire last year. It’s roller coaster ride..
this really opened my eyes. wow levis is a terrible decision maker. hope he can improve A LOT
The pocket is collapsing so fast I can understand how he’s not seeing these open guys. It’s easy to say on pause how did he not see the wide open players but then as soon as you unpause the pocket is gone. He’s got ptsd just like stonehouse
@@Chandler34 then he’s cooked and they need to move on. But I don’t agree. This is the NFL.
@@TicTacTitans Maybe he is cooked and we’re all fools for convincing ourselves in the off season that all he needed was a few weapons to make him a franchise qb
@@TicTacTitansone thing I did notice watching your breakdown though, he is always looking for the homerun rather than just moving the chains
Love the music added!
Titan ❤️🔥تايتن 🏈
Tyler, thank you for the film you are absolutely right, I think will laves is college quarterback ! I don’t think he is good enough for NFL😩
There’s mistakes that were expected with a new staff and new offense early in the year, then there’s the unexpected mistakes. The unexpected mistakes are the problem. If he eliminates those then the rest are coachable mistakes.
I think he's staring at his 1st read and if its not open he panics. But we'll definitely be drafting a QB next yr.
I thought he maneuvering in the pocket better this game. He missed hell of passes on the field.
@@darryllsutton6259 he had to because he’s missing open receivers lol
you know i have not been a levis fan, we have to play him with a dog collar on him, go titans.
I know on locked ON we’re trying to have faith in Levis, however it’s hard to not to want Rudolph to start
Those misses sucked but man, there is still a lot to like there. The deep ball to Ridley and the pass to Pollard in between 2 defenders were beautiful throws. Just have to hope as he gains more NFL experience he develops and learns to see the field better. If he can just cut out the hero ball that in and of itself will raise his floor. Let’s not forget one of the main reasons Callahan wanted this job was because he saw a lot that he liked from Levis’s tape last year. Let’s see how he progresses over the year in a new system he’s still learning.
Deandre Hopkins at 9:34 is just as confused as the rest of us. Someone needs to tell Will he is not as good as he thinks. If he knew how good he actually was, then this team would be much better off. He has to stop the attempts at being a hero.
Yes! I just mentioned this he looks visibly pissed and throws his hands up
Calvin Ridely TD - Levis is lucky Chuck clark coming across doesn't intercept that pass! It'll literally goes through his hands and into Calvins hands 🤔
Curious if he’s trying to force the ball to Ridley more now since he’s the #1 and signed a big deal. Remember, Tannehill did the same thing early in the season with DHop last year resulting in turnovers. As for the interception to Burks, I think that was Levis trying to be ultra aggressive after the fumble and getting the crowd back into it.
You're killing the team Donovan, shape up!
good stuff Tyler - do you think it's a pre-snap or post-snap processing where he's not seeing the open receiver?
@@jimgordon6828 both
I think he's suffering from bad o line ptsd and then panicking, hopefully the o line gets better with time and he starts trusting them more, the missed throws are inexcusable though
I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the titans film room with cally and will going through these Titan up!
The only reason the Oline is giving up pressures is because Levis is holding the ball way too long. Cally is designing quick read plays that should be extremely simple to understand and get the ball out. The fact that Levis isn't picking up on that is way more concerning than the O-line.
This is a player problem not a scheme problem. Dude should get 1 more try & if he can't piece together a good game, Mason Rudolph should be given a chance before the season is completely out of reach.
@@TheToxicP I’m giving him the season. Rudolph isn’t a starter either.
@@TicTacTitans : No, Rudolph isn't a starter. However, better play is better play. Backups - journeymen give you a chance to win while right now Levis is playing like pencil in a guarantee loss.
I understand the opinion of he's only a 2nd year starter, give him more time. I just don't know if my stomach can handle it if I don't see improvement soon.
@@TheToxicPYou play Rudolph, and maybe you win another game or two? But by doing that, you're giving up on the season, you're essentially getting a worse draft pick, and we'll never truly know if Levis could have panned out. You need to give Levis the whole season. It's also why it's ridiculous for the Panthers to give up on Bryce Young after two weeks in a brand new offensive scheme. Now you're playing Andy Dalton and your goal is what now? To win more games even though we all know they're still not making the playoffs? Crazy stuff. Everyone is so obsessed with instant success
@@TicTacTitansmason can be a starter I have 100% more confidence in him then levis
@@avilesnba I think you're underrating Rudolph alot. Literally all the Titans need for a winning season is a passable QB who can run the plays that are called for him. You have the Raiders out there winning with Gardner Minshew, the Packers are winning with Malik Willis, Vikings with Sam Darnold, and we can't play Mason Rudolph who is arguably more reliable than both of them? We have world class receivers that are constantly being schemed open, and our QB isn't throwing them the ball. We literally do not need the deep ball shit that Levis does. It's hype in the moment, but when you realize the only reason we're losing is because he's holding the ball waiting to throw it deep every play. Man just get this guy out of the game, this aint madden.
Also people wanna talk shit on our O-Line saying it's the worst in the league, and they do give up pressures but 90% of the time these pressures WOULDN'T EXIST if Levis would just throw the ball to the designed schemed open guy. He's making everyone around him look so much worse. We have a super bowl caliber defense this year, we could actually have a winning season, just play our best QB.
Malik Willis coming back here and getting a win definitely sounds like something the would happen to the Titans
Right lol, it’s so hard being a Titans fan
Welp it's not the play calling... Keep it up Levis you'll be on the bench soon... Callahan needs to draft or trade for his guy at QB. Usually better that way anyway most of the time. Know wonder the coach was fired up, after seeing all those miss reads I would be too..
I shouldn’t have watched this video 😭 it’s waaaayyy worse than I expected 😭
He’s locking on to guys and…..forget it, I’m pissed again….
Not going lie Tyler you didn’t give me more confidence in levis liked I hoped watching the film
Levi's is a blind ass check. It's already hard to watch a game knowing we never have a competent QB but him doing shit like this burns me
weirdly it looks like he does not remember all WR routes and he's waiting for plays to develop. He appears to always be looking to make a play, vs working the play as it designed. Alot of self-confidence little trust in coaching and or simply remembering all the actual plays.
Will got worse this offseason. The focus was on fixing his swing mechanic which wasnt even bad. Focus should have been on route reading, learning the playbook, and reading the defense. Rudolph Time.
Blaming Burks for Levis under-throwing up a deep post IN DOUBLE COVERAGE is INSANE 😂😂😂 Obviously Ridley is the only right answer
TBH your right he is looking dumb and slow in decision making which is scary as hell...he will be benched next week if Malik comes in and kick his ass.....he might just be the next Bryce Young scenario which would suck
I feel like both of the TD passes from this year were bad throws. I like Will, but if I'm 1 of the new WRs, I'm definitely on the fence about staying already. Nobody just wanna go out on the field and run around all day without getting targeted or poorly targeted. And bro is fixated on Ridley almost every single play. You can already see DHop walking around out there shaking his head nshit
So the playcalling wasn't bad
It was like he didn't know the plays sometime
@@MALCOLM-c3k confusing
Levis looked like the interception got in his head
Wow! Same stuff was being reported after joint practices in training camp.
This doesn't look like something that will can improve or fix i think it may be time tbh
But let some of y’all tell it, it’s play calling 😮💨 man film doesn’t lie, we simply have a QB that’s failing to execute even when the OL give him protection. Cally offense is design to keep the offense moving with quick routes true west cost, this is his counter to him knowing our OL can’t pass protect for deep passing routes. This is what you call coaching knowing your personnel strengths & weaknesses. Levis simply isn’t getting it done.. stop with the Cally bashing; is his play calling great no, he’s a 1st time play caller learning on the fly trying to get a feel for the game but make no mistake his QB is doing him no favors.
He definitely missed on some easy stuff. He also had a handful of really nice plays. Mixed day overall for me that looks *much* worse because of the lateral. I have to wonder how much of his poor vision is coming down to lack of trust in the line - high pressure rate. Of course he's making that worse sometimes by reading slowly here and there. Just seems like he doesn't feel comfortable on some drop backs and doesn't see stuff because of that. Not saying it's 100% that, but getting the shit beat out of you for half a season might effect processing a bit.
You know the Vol Bros are loving this shit. lol
I dont even want to watch the good after the bad 😂. How do you miss WIDE open receivers, nonetheless your top 2 WRs? Is this a trust or confidence issue? Is avoiding Hopkins due to the injury? He knows when to get down after a completion if needed
Y’all gotta watch film again most of his catches is on the run at full speed or high pointing the ball over somebody that was just a bad ball but Burks can’t let a lil 🤬 take his cookies from him
Actually I'm not expecting much from team..we got a O line guru and our line sucks...
Will is worried about his brand and making commercials. He hasn't had enough success to be doing national commercials. He needs to get back in the film room.
Carolina benched their young QB....
It's a growth/reset opportunity, yes?
Bryce Young is done in Carolina.
This is devastating evidence against Levis. Imagine just hitting these open plays on a consistent basis. You are telling me he purposefully looks for a player who isn't open? I am not confident in any possible way. You can't fix his issues. This is a player who is trying to invent the wheel. He is trying to win the Super Bowl, NFL MVP, and a Hall of Fame jacket in every single play. Admirable, but not possible. Build your pyramid with a base kid. Throw the open ball and have more faith. This is one of the most depressing videos I've seen in a long time, and I just watch "Sophie's Choice" and "Shindler's List".
Please don't bench him like the Panthers did Bryce 🤣
This breakdown makes me wanna trade him for Bryce young or bench him
I’ve been saying this since you all were crowning him last year; he is not that guy. He has great physical talent but has terrible decision making and consistently tries to make the Superman play, even when it’s not necessary for the situation. You guys wanted him as QB1 and this is what you get 🤷🏽♂️
On the second play no that's not Burks, your boy didn't throw to the open man and he threw into double coverage with a pass that was short that's all on will
You guys are tanking you all just don’t realize it! Callahan just left Joe Burrow he is ready to hit the 2025 draft for his Franchise QB!
Levis is not a pro QB except for the practice squad.
😂😂 Tannehill wouldn't have missed any of those wide open throws! He may not have been very good the last 2yrs, but given the weapons that Levis has now......he would definitely eat!!!!
I been telling y’all he’s weak. That team was better off with tannehill.. The only thing that can save him is D Hop returning
Great content Tyler,Hopefully dude gets better bruh. TitanUP
I'm not watching this team until they stop letting Amy make decisions.
This video broke me. He's not the guy 😢
Would you say the line did a great job? Also finding your mistakes in success is the ultimate sign that you are a champion sports analysts. We can tell your pissed
New offense takes time but damn he’s way the fuck off with pulling the trigger
Titans need to make a move for Bryce young and if that doesn't work tank
Unfortunately he's a Selfish player that likes to play hero ball and give away games. And he's 25 this is who he is. Outside of his 1st game and the 4th quarter vs the dolphins he's been absolutely terrible. 11 games can't determine if someone is a franchise QB, but its more than enough to see this 25 year old isn't the guy. Takes more than a inaccurate rocket arm and big muscles to play QB. Levis should be entering his prime not making jameis Winston type backbreaking plays. 25 year olds aren't "prospects" anymore. 2-0 if Rudolph plays and just takes sacks and checkdowns. But instead this stupid franchise is trying to develop a 25 year old "prospect" that's throwing and fumbling games away.
Point blank period Will cant read the field and relies on his arm strength to bail him out which doesnt work in the NFL. He is empty between his ears and makes terrible decisions. His Tds this year are all 50/50 balls, which could have also been picks. How many more dumb decisions is this team going to let him make. Im tired of this team allowing qbs to ruin great defensive performances. Will cant read a defense, same mistakes in college, and last year are still being made.
Will must have been seeing ghost or something..TERRIBLE missed reads
Is it possible the game is moving too fast for Levi’s and that’s why he is making the mistakes he’s making?
We don’t have a QB. Everything they said about it from college is true. This guy is a backup QB at best. Watching the games Live shows you that this guy isn’t serious
If he loses that corny headband I think it’s a start . I like Levis but it may be affecting his judgement.
That’s the issue with will he wants to make all explosive plays he acts like taking what they give him ain’t good enough he’ll rather just hit a 60 yard 💣
I believe Will wants to be THAT GUY but he's showing he cant handle the pressure. I will keep saying this over and over. Making him the starter this offseason without him EARNING the job was the worst decision Calihan made. Direct competition against Willis would have shown us during preseason if he was truly ready to take over this team but NOOOO they just gave him the job and ran Malik out the building. There's more pressure on him to perform and he's CHOKING under that pressure. Not good!
It looks like levis doesn't understand the plays tbh better off not even reading the defense and just throw it up to dhop or ridley
It’s clear that Will doesn’t yet understand Callies offence yet. That swing pass must be a clear example of not know what to read first…
@@GFX_media hard to fathom
LFG!!!!!!!! A TICTACTITANS FILM BREAKDOWN!??!?!
@@andrewgieseler8052 🫡🫡🫡
IM READY FOR A FULL SEASON OF TIC TAC TITANS FILM BREAKDOWNS NO MATTER HOW GOOD OR BAD THE TITANS SEASON IS LOL
Tic Tac is the True G.O.A.T. For his film breakdowns IMHO
And now we see why Callahan won't turn the pages in the playbook
@@MikeBell-i1h probably unfortunately but MAYBE and hopefully this is just a temporary problem this season and the FIX will be in SOON
Tyler, i think Levis is just getting mentally cooked for now. I’m not sure if making mistakes causes him to abandon his reads and it’s either scramble or take a double coverage deep shot from there. All i know is that’s exactly how I play madden and I very much suck at it haha
We should just let him stink it up until we can land Arch Manning!
Levis has got to stop trying to make huge plays so much.
Levis only looks for the “big play” and will routinely miss wide open receivers who could pick up great yardage and move the chains
Titan up
Smh at #8...does he need new contact lenses?
If we Lose week 3 Bench Levis
Great stuff but have to disagree on a few. I know you don’t give a shut about my opinion obviously but you take the time to give us yours I at least wanna interact with your videos !
The throw to Burks warn shot call to Burks. Callahan said it was and that he would continue to be aggressive, thought it was a good aggressive throw and a catchable throw that he had no issue with. Which tells me he wanted to press to Burks. It’s the same as the deep throw to Ridley that was dropped which you even said “that’s why you have Levis”. That can’t only apply when it’s a catch.
You asked why is he fading left? There is pressure in his face from Cush and the right side of the line that he is actively back pedaling from to stay alive that is a plus pocket movement. Correct pocket navigation. Something we didn’t see last week in fact his pocket awareness and movement was pretty day good maybe the best we’ve seen him have.
The deep td to Calvin, not only the correct throw to Ridley BUT a good maybe great throw that he got over the safeties arms the film is deceiving but the ball literally drops over the safety those throws are why you get Levis to press the ball and push the ball. Not take the easy short routes. Literally the best of what he did last year was pressing to DHOP.
You throw it to Dhop and probably don’t score like they didn’t all day. Also coins if think they still aren’t wanting Dhop at full capacity regardless of what they’ve said he’s clearly been out of the reads a few times.
Also I PRAY THAT was not a designed swing pass to pollard there were seconds left and that “line backer” is Quincy fucking Williams who is making that tackle and your rushing to the line with seconds expiring and no chance to clock the ball since it was 4th down. Game over. The correct decision was throw it away.
IF that was design it’s terrible situational play calling just like the 4th down call you didn’t show where every wr’s route broke before the Endzone like what are we doing here Cally.
Love the videos, Levis is fine he had a good game, if he had top half of the league blocking the offense would be top half of the league bc he is seeing ghosts early on esp the first drive. Also, Burks makes a catch he should make, Ridley uses proper over the shoulder mechanics, pinkies together bro, and makes a catch he should make every time and Levis’s numbers pop the titans win and it’s a different story.
@@bridgelaurie9490 yeah we just aren’t on the same page about anything you said.
Levis needs to goto the Manning academy
