ESPN analyst predicts Alontae Taylor will struggle for Tennessee Titans

As the Tennessee Titans prepare for their Week 1 matchup against the New York Jets, ESPN analyst Seth Walder has issued a projection regarding cornerback Alontae Taylor. Walder anticipates Taylor will allow 1.4 yards per coverage snap during the season, a figure characterized as below average for a starting defensive back. This assessment comes as the organization integrates a new coaching staff and an attacking defensive scheme directed by Robert Saleh. The Titans signed Taylor to a three-year, $60 million contract this offseason as part of a significant roster overhaul. While Taylor and fellow defensive back Cor’Dale Flott faced challenges during the preseason, the coaching staff noted that the experimental nature of those games made definitive evaluations difficult. The team enters the regular season with high expectations for its retooled defensive secondary.
