Washington Predicts Explosive Offense

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Nate Washingtoncompared Titans offensive coordinator Chris Palmer to a scientist in a laboratory on Thursday.

Instead of a chemist that takes precautions, however, Palmer and the Titans want to develop an offense that is hazardous to defensive coordinators and difficult for opponents to handle.

The emergence of Washington, Damian Williams and Lavelle Hawkinsand tight end Jared Cook, who all posted career bests in receiving categories in 2011, the expected return of Kenny Britt and the addition of first-round draft pick Kendall Wright give Palmer explosive elements.

“Coach Palmer’s been in the lab all offseason,” Washington said. “He’s been licking his chops to get back to us. You can tell on his face that he has some different things up his sleeve, so it’s a matter of getting on the same page. We’re thankful for this spring, we’re thankful for the opportunities to come in and get on the same page with the quarterbacks and make sure everything runs smoothly this year. “

Unlike last offseason, Palmer’s first in Tennessee that was shortened because of the lockout, the veteran coach is enjoying the opportunity to install more of his offense, create different packages, do more at each position and put more points on the scoreboard.
