Tennessee Titans head coach Ken Whisenhunt is looking to make QB Jake Locker a pocket passer in his offense even though mobility is one of Locker’s strengths. The team will still use rollouts and bootlegs at times but most of Locker’s passes will come out of the pocket. Whisenhunt has been happy with how well Locker has picked up the offense this offseason. ‘Jake works hard,’ Whisenhunt said. ‘He’s done a great job as far as studying the offense and understanding his reads. He’s really done a good job with a lot of little things – his footwork, his techniques.’

Footballguys View: It has to be a make-or-break year for Locker in 2014. The team has a new regime, led by new head coach Ken Whisenhunt. If Locker doesn’t stay healthy and play up to his potential, the team could start looking for a new franchise quarterback. Whisenhunt worked wonders with Philip Rivers last year, and perhaps he could help boost Locker’s stock in 2014.
