racked up 65 catches for 945 yards and nine touchdowns in the Titans’ run-heavy offense last season. And to hear Matthews tell it,Authentic Samaje Perine Jersey,Matthews, a seventh-round draft pick by the Dolphins in 2012,Authentic Montae Nicholson Jersey, there’s plenty more where that came from. He had all nine scores over the final 12 games, coming on strong once Andre Johnson retired midseason.
you know what I’m saying? And when I played full-time,Authentic Colt McCoy Jersey,“I think people fail to realize that I rotated eight weeks of the season,” Matthews said. “There’s 16 weeks and I rotated for half a season, that’s when I started (producing even more).

“But that’s in the past now. I think everybody in this organization knows what I can do now. That’s the biggest thing, is just having the coaches be on the same page with me, and that’s just what I plan to keep doing.”, and the players. Everybody knows that I’m a playmaker and one of the leaders of this group
The Titans selected Davis, the NCAA’s all-time leader in receiving yards, with the expectation that he develops into Marcus Mariota’s top wide receiver. They traded up to select Western Kentucky speedster Taylor in the third round. And they signed Decker once the veteran red zone beast was released by the cost-cutting Jets., with the fifth overall pick in the NFL draft

Matthews’ experience with the playbook and Mariota give him a leg up on the other wide receivers on the 53-man roster – none of whom were here last season.
Davis and Decker also are coming off injuries that cost them significant practice time this preseason.

Titans coach Mike Mularkey said Matthews is primed for a big year.
“He understands the system completely,” Mularkey said during the preseason. “It's not something that's brand new to him. He understands where Marcus expects him to be. He's improved in a lot of areas. He had a number of mental errors last year that would've got him more balls, regular season. Those are things he knew he had to correct if he wants the ball more. I know he's working on it.”, and I'm talking about preseason
as defenses are forced to focus on others.,Matthews said the infusion of talent on offense should benefit him personally
But does he see himself as the Titans’ No. 1 wide receiver?
“I don’t know. I don’t look at it that way,” Matthews said. “I feel like if you don’t complain about getting the ball,Womens Ryan Anderson Jersey, he’s shown he’s comfortable throwing my way. And I think he’ll continue to keep throwing my way.”, the ball finds you. My biggest thing is having Marcus see me get open. The more he sees me get open
