Ridley Frustration Spurs Titans' QB Debate

Calvin Ridley, wide receiver for the Tennessee Titans, expressed significant frustration over his lack of involvement in the team's offensive strategy following a 20-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, in which he failed to record a single catch on eight targets. Ridley, who signed a four-year, $92 million contract with Tennessee in the offseason, voiced his displeasure with not receiving targets earlier in games, contributing to his low performance and the Titans' struggles. Despite being targeted eight times, Ridley's overall season stats remain underwhelming, with only nine receptions for 141 yards and one touchdown. Coach Brian Callahan acknowledged the need to better utilize Ridley's skills, yet the Titans' offensive issues, including quarterback Will Levis' inconsistencies, have compounded the situation. Ridley’s struggle to establish consistent chemistry with Levis has sparked discussions about possibly switching quarterbacks to Mason Rudolph. The Titans are currently 1-4, and Ridley’s performance and usage have become a focal point for criticism and demands for improvement.
