Titans GM Mike Borgonzi Under the Microscope After Week 1

Tennessee Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi was tasked with upgrading the offensive line this offseason. The need to achieve that goal took on a different tone of importance once the team drafted quarterback Cam Ward at No. 1 overall.

Borgonzi's solution was to sign Dan Moore and Kevin Zeitler to contracts in free agency. JC Latham flipped from left tackle to right tackle following Moore's arrival. It's early, but the struggles to protect Ward in Week 1 versus the Denver Broncos already has the Titans' revamped O-line under fire.

Ward was under pressure on 52.9% of his dropbacks against the Broncos, according to Pro Football Focus. That led the league in that department across Week 1, and by a sizable margin. It was 7.4 percent more than the second-must hurried passer (Caleb Williams,

per Mike Herndon) as Ward was sacked six times by a ferocious Broncos front.

Titans revamped offensive line already under fire heading into Week 2

The biggest issue was the play of Moore at left tackle. The $82 million blindside protector was credited with allowing seven pressures to Broncos pass rusher Nik Bonitto, according to Next Gen Stats. Pro Football Focus had Moore at a friendlier four total pressures allowed, though he was still assigned a pathetic pass-blocking grade of 26.4, and he was whistled for two penalties as well.

The challenge won't get immediately easier. Sunday afternoon's opponent, the Los Angeles Rams, features a pair of excellent EDGEs in Jared Verse and Byron Young. They combined to pressure CJ Stroud seven times in Week 1. Increasing Sunday's difficulty level, right tackle JC Latham will be sidelined with a hip injury.

Borgonzi's decision to sign Moore to an extremely lucrative contract was questioned by the national masses. Moore, and the entire Titans' new-look offensive line, failed to meet expectations in Week 1. Granted, the opponent was a Broncos defense that has continuity up front after leading the NFL in sacks last season, but Titans fans will be analyzing whether this expensive unit improves in the coming weeks.

Seahawks Fans Left in the Cold as Kellen Moore Dominates Boise TV Airwaves

Sorry Seahawks fans

New Orleans Saints' head coach Kellen Moore is already having an impact on the television market, just one week into his first season in the National Football League as a head coach. In Boise, Idaho, FOX Sports will be locally broadcasting the San Francisco 49ers vs. New Orleans Saints game on Sunday.

This isn't the norm. Typically, according to over the cap's Nick Korte, it's very rare for FOX to not locally air a Seattle Seahawks game in Boise, even when taking the 49ers into account. However, when you put Kellen Moore in the equation, it makes a bit more sense. The first-year head coach is like Boise's Beyoncé. While he was at Boise State, he set the NCAA record for most wins by a college quarterback (50) and the school record for passing yards (14,667) and touchdown passes (142).

If you're a Seahawks fan in Boise, hopefully you have the Sunday Ticket package. For at least Week 2, you won't be able to watch your team on the local channel. Maybe seeing a Moore victory eases some of the frustration for the Boise State-Seahawks fans in the region.

With Boise watching, Saints head coach Kellen Moore could break yet another record

When Kellen Moore was hired as the head coach of the New Orleans Saints back in February, he became the youngest head coach in team history, beating out former HC Sean Payton by over a year. This Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, Moore has a shot at another record. If he manages to come out of his second-ever game with a W, he would be the youngest coach in team history to do so, once again beating Sean Payton.

It could be his easiest chance all season as well, as the 49ers will be without their starting quarterback (Brock Purdy) and tight end (George Kittle) on Sunday. However, Kellen Moore is taking no chances, saying that just because San Francisco is missing those two players, their capacity for what they can do isn't limited. "Structurally, I think they'll still have a lot of advantages, a lot of opportunities within that system," Moore told the media earlier this week. "
