What They're Saying: Titans brace for Ashton Jeanty's relentless style

Take a look at what Tennessee Titans players and coaches had to say ahead of Sunday's matchup.

On RB Ashton Jeanty:

"You see him getting more comfortable with the NFL speed and style and how you have to run in this league. He gets a shoulder square and he makes those vertical cuts into the defense. He's pretty hard to bring down. He's a good back. ... You see the talent. You see why he was picked where he was picked." – Titans Head Coach Brian Callahan

"A strong back. Young player, good player. Strong, fast, quick. I mean, he was a first-round pick so we've got to make sure we bring it." – Titans safety Amani Hooker

"He's a hard runner. ... He's a guy that's going to lower his shoulder every time he gets a chance on a linebacker or one of the guys in the secondary." – Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons

On DE Maxx Crosby:

"Maxx Crosby is probably one of the premier players in this league, so we have to have a good plan for him. It felt like he almost tried to win the Chicago game in the first half by himself. It was a remarkable performance. He's somebody we've got to be aware of and he can certainly wreck the game." – Titans Head Coach Brian Callahan

"Powerful player. From getting off the snap each and every down, he's disruptive. He's somebody that you want to go against. He's one of the best defensive linemen out there and it's going to be fun to go against him." – Titans quarterback Cam Ward

"Maxx Crosby is a hell of a player and we all know that. Maxx Crosby's been doing it at a high level. He has a motor and when you have a motor like that, you've gotta know where he's at at all times. He's a guy that I've had numerous conversations with, going to the pass rush summit with guys like that. He's a guy that you better know where he's at." – Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons

On QB Geno Smith:

"We know Geno's a proven quarterback in this league. When he gets hot, he's tough to deal with." – Titans Head Coach Brian Callahan

"Geno's a hell of a player. Hell of a quarterback." – Titans safety Amani Hooker

On the Raiders franchise:

"We've got a lot of Raiders on our staff. A lot of guys that have spent a lot of time there. I was in high school when my dad was there. They had a lot of success over those years and those were my first – I was a fan. I was a fan of the team. I was always excited to go. It was great environments to go play in when they were at the Coliseum in Oakland. Then I got a chance to go coach there for a year. I have fond memories in that silver and black and those gamedays and some of the wins over the years when I was following along as a high school kid and spending time there." – Titans Head Coach Brian Callahan
