KEY GAME INFORMATION
TENNESSEE: The Titans use a hybrid blocking scheme in the running game, and the maturation of some of their young blockers should lead to more success this season. Bishop Sankey overtook Shonn Greene last year and figures to be the lead in Tennessee's committee. Sankey thrives on inside zone runs, something that is becoming a staple of the Titans' offense. Head coach Ken Whisenhunt's offense is QB-friendly; a lot of pre-snap reads. Quarterback Marcus Mariota was named the starter and shouldn't have too difficult of a time adjusting. Kendall Wright will continue to operate as more of a slot receiver, using his quickness to shake open on shorter routes in the middle of the field. Rookie Dorial Green-Beckham should overtake Justin Hunter as the primary deep threat; both are raw. Harry Douglas gives them a complementary receiver who can win some one-on-one matchups, but it should be tight end Delanie Walker, used on a wide variety of routes, who is the default No. 2 receiver again. The Titans made a big move by hiring Dick LeBeau as defensive coordinator after he'd spent the past 11 seasons in the same position with the Steelers. He'll be tasked with turning around a defense that gave up more rushing yards last season than any team aside from the Browns.
TAMPA BAY: Dirk Koetter is in as the new offensive coordinator, but the Bucs retained offensive line coach George Warhop. Tampa has loaded up on athletic movers as they continue to transition to Warhop's zone-heavy scheme. Doug Martin should be the team leader in carries. Koetter's scheme is heavy on play-action and deep shots, a good fit for rookie Jameis Winston considering Winston's tendency to lose track of linebackers. Expect a lot of deep shots to their big receivers, Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson. Winston always showed a willingness to throw contested passes and let his receiver battle for it, something that plays to Evans' strengths. Each of the first nine draft picks Lovie Smith made after becoming Tampa's head coach were on offensive players'he didn't address defense until the fourth round of the '15 draft. The Bucs instead went the free-agent route, signing DT Henry Melton, LB Bruce Carter, CB Sterling Moore and S Chris Conte.

*Titans-Buccaneers Preview* ===========================

By SCOTT GARBARINI STATS Writer

Marcus Mariota got the better of Jameis Winston in their lone on-field meeting. Winston then one-upped Mariota in the NFL Draft.

Which of the two Heisman Trophy winners is currently ahead of the other will be determined when both quarterbacks make their NFL debuts in Sunday's game between Winston's Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Mariota's Tennessee Titans.

The showdown of the draft's top two picks is one of several parallels between the clubs, both of which are striving for major improvements in their second years under head coaches that have taken teams to Super Bowls. The Buccaneers' 2-14 mark in Lovie Smith's inaugural season was the franchise's worst since 1986, while the Titans' two wins in Ken Whisenhunt's debut were their fewest since their days as the Houston Oilers in 1994.

Accordingly, both have undergone significant offseason changes and enter Raymond James Stadium fielding noticeably young lineups.

Tampa Bay's first four draft picks all earned starting jobs during the preseason, with left tackle Donovan Smith and right guard Ali Marpet part of an overhauled offensive line protecting Winston and Kwon Alexander tabbed to man the important middle linebacker spot in Smith's Cover 2 defense. Mariota is one of eight projected Tennessee starters with two or less years of NFL experience.

There's a wealth of seasoning on Whisenhunt's staff, however, following February's hire of longtime Pittsburgh Steelers coordinator Dick LeBeau as a defensive assistant.

Still, the intrigue of a matchup of the league's two worst teams from last season centers around the rookie quarterbacks' first head-to-head meeting since Mariota led Oregon to a 59-20 Rose Bowl victory over Florida State in January's College Football Playoff semifinals, handing Winston his only loss in 27 starts.

"People will obviously try to make debates and opinions on what's going on, but I'm focused on what our team has to do and preparing for Sunday," Mariota said.

Mariota had the statistically more impressive preseason of the two, completing 70 percent of his throws and producing a 102.9 passer rating while displaying command of an offense with few similarities to the spread attack he excelled in at Oregon. Winston completed just 23 of 47 passes without a touchdown and was sacked seven times in three games.

Mariota will be operating behind a revamped front line after the Titans released right tackle Michael Oher, traded guard Andy Levitre to Atlanta last week and had stalwart left tackle Michael Roos retire after 10 seasons. Free agent pickup Harry Douglas, a 1,000-yard receiver with Atlanta in 2013, and physically imposing rookie Dorial Green-Beckham join Kendall Wright (57 catches, 715 yards, 6 TDs) and tight end Delanie Walker (63 catches, 890 yards, 4 TDs) to give Mariota an array of targets.

Tampa Bay's most notable change on defense will be that Smith will handle play-calling responsibilities himself in an effort to bolster a unit that finished 28th against the pass and tied for 21st with 36 sacks in 2014.

"That's totally unacceptable," Smith said of last season's performance. "We haven't played the type of defense we need to. When we do, that will change."

The Titans were even worse on that side of the ball, ending 27th in total defense (373.0 ypg) and 31st against the run (137.2 ypg) while permitting 27.4 points per game. Three-time Pro Bowl outside linebacker Brian Orakpo, cornerback Perrish Cox and safety Da'Norris Searcy were brought in as intended upgrades in addition to zone-blitz guru LeBeau, whose multitude of pressure packages should provide a stern first test for Winston.

"Hopefully we can cause him some problems," LeBeau told the Titans' official site. "The way the college game is, (quarterbacks) get to see all the looks, but I don't think he has seen all the looks that he is going to see in the NFL."

Winston said he'll be ready for the task.

"It's kind of a common thing, you have a rookie quarterback, you're going to see a lot of pressure," he said. "I definitely accept that challenge. We saw (in preseason) what we're definitely going to see during the season."

Winston does have the luxury of a pair of 1,000-yard receivers at his disposal in second-year pro Mike Evans (68 catches, 1,051 yards, 12 TDs) and veteran Vincent Jackson (70 catches, 1,002 yards, 2 TDs) and will be facing a defense without two key starters in cornerback Jason McCourty (hernia surgery) and nose tackle Sammie Hill (knee surgery).

Tennessee, 8-2 all-time against the Buccaneers, makes its first visit to Tampa since a 13-10 loss in 2007. The Titans earned a 23-17 home win in the last meeting in 2011.
