  "account": "Good morning, Tennessee Titans supporters. It's September 4th, and I'm Nick Suss with Talkin' Titans. Today, we'll be discussing how you can share your thoughts on the team. The youth movement has arrived, and I'm most looking forward to seeing how fans feel about the current state of the Titans. This is the team we'll be focusing on, and all the speculation leading up to this point has shaped our opinions. Please share your feedback via email at nsuss@gannett.com, and I'll compile your responses for our season preview newsletters next week. On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being terrible and 10 being giddy with excitement, how do you feel about the Titans right now? How does this compare to how you felt about the team at the start of the 2025 season? On a scale of 1-10, how long do you think Robert Saleh will continue as the head coach of the Titans? How many games do you predict the Titans will win in 2026? In your opinion, what year will the Titans make the playoffs next? Lastly, Robert Saleh announced that rookie Fernando Carmona Jr. will start at right guard in the opener. This is a significant win for the Titans, as Carmona's performance could have a major impact. If he develops into an above-average starter, it will be a big boost for both GM Mike Borgonzi and the scouting staff. Carmona's role next year, alongside JC Latham in Year 4, will be crucial as the Titans aim to see real results in Year 1 of a new stadium, under Saleh's leadership, and with Cam Ward in Year 3. The first month of the Titans' season is filled with intriguing storylines. From Weeks 1-5, the Titans will face off against Saleh's former team, Brian Daboll's former team, the team that marked the end of the Vrabel-Robinson era in Nashville, and the team that boasts one of the greatest players in Titans history. Before diving into the specifics, here's how I rank the narratives from least interesting to most exciting. No. 4: New York Giants - It would be more enjoyable if this was the Gabbin Giants newsletter, but there's not much reason for Titans fans to care about their perspective on Daboll. No. 3: Philadelphia Eagles - The memory of that 2022 loss against Philly, which ended Jon Robinson's GM tenure, still lingers and has significantly impacted the Titans' trajectory. No. 2: Baltimore Ravens - Seeing Derrick Henry on the opposite sideline will be surreal, as he's the defining player of modern Titans football and a potential Hall of Famer. No. 1: New York Jets - This Week 1 matchup provides a perfect opportunity for Saleh to address his concerns against the team that has never been as good as it was when your coach was deemed not good enough. The two rosters are filled with players who have switched sides, and it marks the start of something new for the Titans.",
