"Daboll's roots offensively are entrenched in the Erhardt-Perkins system, which he learned as a wide receivers coach with the New England Patriots under offensive coordinator Charlie Weis. The Erhardt-Perkins system focuses on high-percentage, shorter passes mixed with deep play-action shots. It was originally more of a run-focused scheme before evolving to a greater focus on the passing game under Weis, which maximized the use of slot receivers catching the high-percentage short passes."
"Pairing offensive coordinator Brian Daboll with second-year quarterback Cam Ward was one of the most critical moves for new Tennessee Titans coach Robert Saleh. Ward's development into a franchise quarterback is the key to Saleh's success in his second stint as a head coach. Saleh feels he's made an ideal quarterback-offensive coordinator pairing. "[Daboll] is the perfect man to match up with Cam and to maximize who he is," Saleh said during his introductory news conference last month."
"A look at the Titans' roster quickly reveals a degree of uncertainty at the position. Sure, Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike each had a team-leading four receiving touchdowns as rookies last season. Gunnar Helm's 44 receptions set a single-season franchise record for rookie tight ends. The three second-year pass catchers already have outstanding chemistry with Ward, but another element is needed for the Titans' offense to take off."
Robert Saleh paired offensive coordinator Brian Daboll with second-year quarterback Cam Ward and views Ward's development into a franchise quarterback as essential to coaching success. Daboll's offense is rooted in the Erhardt-Perkins system, emphasizing high-percentage, shorter passes combined with deep play-action shots and extensive use of versatile slot receivers. The scheme evolved under Charlie Weis toward a greater emphasis on the passing game to maximize slot receiver versatility. The Titans' roster shows uncertainty at pass-catcher positions despite rookies Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike each recording four receiving touchdowns and Gunnar Helm setting a rookie tight end receptions record. General manager Mike Borgonzi must add complementary options to make the offense fully functional.
