In the NFL, the triplets for each team are generally the ones responsible for moving the ball down the field and putting points on the board. Triplets typically consist of a quarterback, running back, and either a wide receiver or tight end.For the Tennessee Titans, their triplets for 2026 are Cam Ward, Tony Pollard, and Carnell Tate. CBS Sports writers John Breech, Tyler Sullivan, Jordan Dajani, Bryan DeArdo, Garrett Podell, R.J. White, Zach Pereles, Carter Bahns, and Jared Dubin put their heads together to rank every NFL team’s triplets, and the Titans came in near the bottom.Ward’s rookie season was a disaster, with horrid offensive line play and a struggling pass-catching corps undermining his performance. The Titans added a pair of wideouts in Tate and Wan’Dale Robinson, but Pollard is heading into his age-29 season, and there is little to point to in Ward’s stat line that indicates that he’s going to be a lot better.To say that Ward’s rookie season was a disaster is grossly out of context. Under Brian Callahan, Ward threw three touchdowns and four interceptions through six games. After Callahan was fired, Ward threw 12 touchdowns and three interceptions through the final 11 games. He took 25 sacks in six games under Callahan and 30 in the final 11 games of the season. That’s an average of just over four sacks per game in the first six weeks, which improved to under three sacks per game after that.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe improvement is visible in his stat line, and Ward is consistently unfairly judged for his play under a head coach who clearly had no business being a head coach. With Robert Saleh and Brian Daboll calling the shots, Ward is going to be a completely different player in 2026. And they’re right, that’s not in his stat line, but football isn’t played on a stat sheet.The NFL is an incredibly difficult league to play in, and success isn’t simply measured by stats alone. Scheme matters. Fit matters. The bond between teammates matters. Having the right coach is imperative. The Titans’ triplets may be ranked low in this case, but that’s only going to give them another chip on their shoulder, knowing they’re going to be better than advertised in 2026.This article originally appeared on Titans Wire: Where do Titans’ offensive triplets rank among all 32 NFL teams?
