I was out at Saint Thomas Sports Park this morning to check out the Titans first open practice of the new season. I’m going to borrow a tradition from hockey and give out three stars for the practice session and then follow up with some additional notes from practice below.
Today was a day for the defense — again, as you would expect early in training camp — and among the biggest standouts was Brian Orakpo who spent an awful lot of time in the backfield during team drills. Orakpo had at least one “would be” sack and got pressure on several other occasions.
