Tennessee is paying Calvin Ridley to be a game-changer. But so far, his chemistry with QB Will Levis has been spotty. Can they fix it fast?
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — After Wednesday's joint practice with the Seahawks, new Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley stood next to the field, surrounded by a throng of local media, and explained his two missed deep-ball opportunities during team drills. He beat the Seattle cornerback both times, he said, but he just didn't finish his routes. Next thing he knew, quarterback Will Levis had launched the passes — and Ridley wasn't there to meet the ball. 'My energy, man.
On one of them, Ridley couldn't shake Woolen's press coverage on a comeback route, and the pass sailed incomplete. On the other, Woolen broke up a Levis pass to Ridley on a crossing route. On deep balls, Levis is still learning to acclimate to the veteran receiver's speed. Ridley's average max route speed last season was 22.11 mph, tops in the league among qualified receivers, according to Next Gen Stats.
