Robert Saleh on Titans' running backs: 'It's a great one-two punch'

Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh was a busy man at the annual AFC coaches breakfast at the NFL League Meeting, touching on multiple topics that should interest fans. During the session, Saleh did a masterful job working through the Titans' draft plans, without giving anything away. Saleh first touched on the top of the draft, calling running back Jeremiyah Love and the three top edge rushers, Rueben Bain, David Bailey, and Arvell Reese, all game-changers, and went on to say the team is looking for players who can make an impact on any play.

At first glance, when coupled with Mike Borgonzi’s comments about taking the best player available fourth overall regardless of position, one would think that Love would be a primary target. But after some more questions, Saleh gave his current backfield of Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears a vote of confidence. .
