“Credit to those guys after Miami,” Holz said. “There was no complaining, they were the happiest two guys in the world. And there’s a lot of teams and there’s a lot of cultures where those guys would be not happy the team won, but, you know, kinda happy their team won but they would be more upset that they didn’t get their touches and get their targets and things like that. So, credit to those guys for kind of seeing what’s going on and we’re trying to get it to them.”
There are 18 wide receivers with 40 or more targets this season. Of the top 10 receivers in the NFL, the lowest number of targets is 28. Ridley and Hopkins have 19 and 14 targets, respectively, leading the Titans in that category.
#Titans OC Nick Holz said they want to get DeAndre Hopkins and Calvin Ridley into the flow of the game early. He praised them for not complaining about the lack of touches vs Miami and understanding the reasons behind why they don’t always get touches. pic.twitter.com/Xi3u0nyJi5

They say patience is a virtue, and we’ll see if that patience paid off this week when the Titans face the struggling Indianapolis Colts and Will Levis is back under center.
