NASHVILLE When they parted ways with receivers A.J. Brown, Julio Jones and Chester Rogers during the offseason, the Tenne see Titans needed to replace the 124 catches, 1,604 receiving yards and seven touchdown catches those players provided in 2021.As attention turns to the Sept. 11 season opener against the New York Giants, it appears that five receivers Treylon Burks, Racey McMath, Kyle Philips, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Robert Woods will carry the bulk of that responsibility.Heres a mini-evaluation on each of the five:NICK WESTBROOK-IKHINE Plus: Who would have gue sed two years ago that Westbrook-Ikhine then an undrafted free-agent rookie dropping too many pa ses would be the Titans most reliable option heading into the 2022 season? But thats where we are. In Thursdays final training-camp practice, Westbrook-Ikhine proved a productive target for quarterback Ryan Tannehill yet again beating Roger McCreary in Najee Harris T Shirts the back of the end zone for one touchdown pa s, then catching two play-action pa ses over the middle from Tannehill in a four-play span during a later drill. Westbrook-Ikhine has been the Titans most reliable receiver since the start of the offseason, using his size (6-foot-2, 211 pounds) and his much-improved catching ability to offer Tannehill a reliable connection. Minus: Theres no real downside. He's versatile enough to play all three receiver positions and contribute on special teams. Expect him to improve on his 2021 totals of 38 catches, 476 yards and four touchdowns last season. But Westbrook-Ikhine does have a ceiling. He doesnt have the kind of speed that will make him a deep threat, and it remains to be seen how hell handle going against higher-caliber defensive backs, now that Brown and Jones are gone. Quote: A lot of versatility, a lot of toughne s, he can play different positions, is willing to go in there and block, coach Mike Vrabel said. Just a lot of consistency from Nick. I think Ben Roethlisberger T Shirts I have seen a lot of growth. I think he's healthy. I think he's just developing. He's gotten a lot more comfortable.ROBERT WOODS Plus: Woods has impre sed many with his smooth and rapid return from ACL surgery last November as hes hardly been impacted by the injury since the start of the offseason. The 30-year-old also has worked relentle sly to develop chemistry with Tannehill, taking countle s extra snaps with his starting quarterback during training camp. Like Westbrook-Ikhine, Woods has the intelligence and ability to play all three receiver positions. Hed been highly productive prior in three seasons prior to the knee injury, making a combined 266 receptions in the Rams pa s-happy offense. Minus: We know Woods played with many talented receivers during his Rams tenure like Cooper Kupp, Van Jefferson, Odell Beckham Jr., Brandin Cooks and Sammy Watkins. How much space was created for Woods by those players? There were times in training camp Woods didnt appear to create consistent separation, resulting in pa ses that were knocked away. So like Westbrook-Ikhine, hell need to prove he can handle the challenge of being the first or second option on Tannehill pa ses. Quote: Im feeling good, Woods said. I feel like I can put my foot in the ground, separate from guys, (show a) speed aspect. (The knee injury) is not even a thought. Im just out here trying to perfect my game as a receiver honing my craft, footwork, hands and be ready to go and separate.Scroll to ContinueKYLE PHILIPS Plus: Its been a rapid rise during Philips first offseason. The fifth-round draft pick out of UCLA has quickly proven to be a tricky player to cover especially in short-yardage and goalline situations. If he continues to progre s, Philips should provide an excellent security blanket in the slot for Tannehill, making receptions that will extend drives. Minus: The 5-foot-11, 189-pound Philips is going to have to prove he can handle the physical play of NFL defenders. Safety Kevin Byard had some succe s manhandling him near the Alan Faneca Jersey line of scrimmage during drills, a tactic some Arizona Cardinals defenders also took in practice last week. Philips also has a limited downfield range because hes a smaller target. Quote: More often than not, Kyle, coming in as a rookie, (has been) a really good route runner, polished, and giving guys a lot of trouble," Byard said.RACEY McMATH Plus: After playing just 106 offensive snaps and catching two pa ses as a rookie, McMath began to flash big-play potential during offeason and training-camp work. A raw, sixth-round draft pick chosen primarily for his special-teams play in 2021, McMath started raising eyebrows in training camp when he got behind Titans defensive backs for long completions. As Titans coach Rob Moore said, I think the biggest thing Racey has done is that hes realized theres not a bunch of 6-foot-3, (217)-pound wide receivers that can run a 4.3 like he can. Minus: McMath still has to prove he can be a reliable target, something that was not always the case during training camp. Still learning to play the position, McMath cost himself a few long receptions in camp by not high-pointing the football, which allowed defenders to knock it away when he waited for it to fall to him. In addition, McMath dropped his share of pa ses, something that will no doubt stick in Tannehills mind. Quote: (He needs to) trust himself, believe in himself, knowing that he can make the plays, Woods said. Dont be anxious. Go out there and Pittsburgh Steelers Hoodies Sweatshirts be himself, show what he can do. Hes a fast guy, so when he plays fast, hes going to run past guys and make people mi s.TREYLON BURKS Plus: Burks began training camp by seemingly bouncing back from the medical and conditioning concerns that kept him off the field for much of the offseason. He made a number of big plays in the first weeks of camp, the kind that reflected the potential the Titans saw in the 6-foot-2, 225-pound receiver when they selected him with the 18thoverall pick. Hes not a burner, but Burks nonethele s has shown the ability to get behind defensive backs. Minus: Given the lack of offseason work, he needed to be on the field as much as po sible during training camp to familiarize himself with a far-different offense than the one he played at Arkansas, and to get reps at outside receiver after playing mostly slot for the Razorbacks. So, it was disappointing to see him mi s more practice time over the past couple of weeks, apparently due to a lower-leg/calf injury. In addition, Burks played 67 offensive snaps
