The Tennessee Titans are doing their best to help their young group of wide receivers grow up.General manager Jon Robinson's biggest personnel move before Tuesday's trade deadline was adding a fullback Dennis Kelly Jersey , not bolstering a receiving corps that includes a couple second-year players (Corey Davis and Taywan Taylor) and another (Tajae Sharpe) essentially in his second season after sitting out 2017 on injured reserve.Tight end Jonnu Smith also is in his second season after being drafted in the third round last year.Their youth is even more apparent after three-time Pro Bowl tight end Delanie Walker broke his right ankle in the season opener followed by veteran receiver Rishard Matthews being released at his request in September.Coach Mike Vrabel said the Titans are trying to help those receivers improve as quickly as possible."That's why you draft them is to play them and get them better," Vrabel said. "And so we just got to keep heading down that path of improving and making sure these guys understand where they fit in the scheme and how they can help us on third down."With the Titans at 3-4 and mired in a three-game skid, receivers need to start hanging on to more balls.The Titans have dropped 10 passes this season, according to Stats . That's 14th in the NFL but count much more in an offense 31st with only 126 total catches. Tennessee, which visits Dallas (3-4) on Monday night, is 30th in the league in passing offense.One drop on a would-be touchdown pass late Oct. 7 in Buffalo led to a 13-12 loss and cost Nick Williams his job. A couple more dropped passes came in their last game, a 20-19 loss to the Chargers in London. Receivers coach Rob Moore said they won't use youth as an excuse and have been working on technique, hand placement and getting the head around better to correct the problem."I believe that we have the guys in our room to get that done Warren Moon Jersey , and we just have to demonstrate that from week to week," Moore said during the bye week.Davis, the fifth overall pick in 2017, leads the Titans with 30 catches for 395 yards receiving. He had his best game with nine catches for 161 yards and a touchdown in Tennessee's overtime win over Philadelphia on Sept. 30. He's been held to a total of eight catches over the past three games.Sharpe was the first pick of the fifth round in 2016 and started 10 games as a rookie. He has started six games this season, and the 6-foot-2 receiver is coming off his best game yet after a career-high 101 yards receiving catching seven of nine passes thrown to him. Each catch earned the Titans a first down, and five of Sharpe's catches came on third down."He's found ways to kind of get open," Mariota said. "At the same time, he understands his routes. He understands the concepts. If we can find ways to kind of get everybody on the same page Steve McNair Jersey , just as Tajae is figuring it out, I think we can be even better on third down. I give credit to Tajae. I think he's done a great job of understanding his role and finding zones or beating his man on third down."Follow Teresa M. Walker at teresamwalkerWhere were you when the Music City Miracle happened? This week’s theme on the SB Nation NFL blogs is “where were you when...” The obvious choice for the this site is where were you when the Music City Miracle happened? I have told my story a bunch of times, but some people might not have heard it before, so here it goes again.I was a senior in high school in January of 2000. The Friday night before the game I was at a high school basketball game and my parents left the house for a little bit to take my sister somewhere after going to the grocery store. When they came back home, they realized someone had broken into our house. They didn’t end up getting much from the break in, other than a case of Moutain Dew my mom had just bought for me, but they really trashed the place. They dumped out every draw in the entire house. There was crap everywhere. We cleaned up some that night, but left most of it to be done on Saturday.Saturday morning I had a church league basketball game. I had a terrible game Eddie George Jersey , so I was pretty ticked off after that and the events of the night before. The Titans’ game was starting as I got in the car, so I listened to Mike Keith on the way home before sitting down in the den at my parents’ house to watch the rest of the game with my dad.The game takes me from ticked off to just plain ol’ depressed. If you were watching the game, you know what I am talking about. Steve Christie kicks a 41-yard field goal with 16 seconds left in the game to give the Bills a 16-15 lead. The season is over. I am looking around the room realizing that after all of this I have to spend the rest of the day cleaning up the house.Then....I still get goosebumbs and tears in my eyes watching that to this day. The next 10 minutes are so are a blur between the jumping around the living room, high-fiving my dad, and running up to the TV while they are showing the replay to prove that it was a lateral.If you watch the TV broadcast:It takes just under 4 minutes from when Kevin Dyson crosses the goal line for Phil Luckett to announce the play stands. It felt like a million years and 4 seconds all at the same time.Where were you when the Music City Miracle happened?
