What I think the Titans are thinking as they get set to kick off a practice week to get ready for Sunday’s season opener at Kansas City …

Lots of doubters out there. People are picking us to be one of the worst teams in the league. We can do a lot to quiet them down and start things on the right track by heading to Arrowhead Stadium and winning there. We’ll do it with a big game from Jake Locker throwing to our solid weapons and with a solid, sound defensive game against a team we can scheme to attack. Alex Smith is going to be under fire, because we have ways of getting through that questionable line and turning up the heat. The game plan will be awesome. Our confidence is high. We’re anxious for game day but know we’ve got to put in three good practices executing our stuff in order to be ready to go do what we expect we can.
