The Tennessee Titans have some small tweaks to make this offseason as they look to make another run for the Super Bowl.
One of those that’s often overlooked is the issue at placekicker — which wasn’t hard to miss last season.
Titans kickers made just 44.4% of their attempts in 2019, the lowest mark in the NFL by a large margin.
One of many names the Titans brought in to try to solve their issues at the position was none other than former Chicago Bears kicker Cody Parkey, who was infamous for his “double doink” kick.
Vrabel wasn’t concerned about his past, though, and didn’t even ask the kicker about what happened on the play.
Vrabel also admitted the obvious: the Titans’ kicking game “went through some turbulent waters” in 2019.
“Just tried to evaluate what his confidence level was and he did a nice job for us,” Vrabel told Pardon My Take. “You know, we did, we went through some turbulent waters with the kicking game, and it’s something we’ll have to certainly improve on.”
Parkey was cut by the team in early November after Ryan Succop was activated from Injured Reserve.
Succop’s highly-anticipated return didn’t go as planned, and he had to be replaced later on in the season after he went 1-of-6 on field goal attempts and was placed on IR for a second time.
The Titans went through several players at the position, with Greg Joseph being the latest addition.
Joseph made his lone field goal attempt for the team, but he’s far from cemented a place for himself on the roster, and it will interesting to see what the Titans do at the position moving forward.
