The Tennessee Titans, and those that follow the team, now have a fairly good sample size of Will Levis. Today, I want to talk about how the Titans offensive coordinator needs to help out his young quarterback, and how Levis can also help himself.

This isn’t a crossroads kind of deal. Not a this has to happen or Levis sucks, blah, blah, blah. This is about recognizing areas that need improving from both Tim Kelly and/or Levis that can benefit the offensive line, the quarterback’s development, and maybe, just maybe put points on the board.

Help Your Young QB

Over the course of the entire season, Tim Kelly is far down the list of blame for this season’s misfortunes, in my opinion. Yet, I find myself questioning his play-calling and play-design these last few weeks to a large degree. Meaning, starting with the Steelers game, Kelly seems to be overwhelmed and in over his head. In other words, if we are looking at the last three weeks offensive blame pie, he is a much larger piece of blame than he previously was.

This is not me clenching my fist and pound it on the table and say, “Fire Tim Kelly!” nor am I saying “Tim Kelly is the biggest issue or only issue!”. I am just being objective and clear headed and saying that Tim Kelly has been a much bigger issue these last three weeks than he was previously from weeks one through the Atlanta game.

That is a perfectly level-headed thing to say. He is clearly not putting his young quarterback in a good situation with his scheming and game-planning. Look, Kelly is having to scheme and game-plan with one arm tied behind his back with this offensive line.

This OL sucks, but this OL is better than what Kelly had week one. That game he schemed up a master class that Ryan Tannehill ruined. So, why is it now okay to use the OL as an excuse for bad play-calling, play design, and/or player usage?
