Titans offensive tackle JC Latham wants opposing teams to know they're not going to get away with any cheap shots on quarterback Cam Ward.
Latham said a big part of the offensive line coming together this offseason has been agreeing that they need to play with more fight, which will include going after any opponent who goes after Ward.
"Culture is what you stand for and what you allow," Latham said. "This offseason we all did a moment of self-reflecting of, we want to be the offensive line that we know we can be. We can't be no pushovers, we can't be nobody's bitch, just being completely honest. So all the late hits, all the extra stuff that defenses do, if we want to be what we know we can be, we can't stand for that."
Latham said the Titans' new coaching staff has told the offensive linemen that they all have to have their teammates' backs.
"If any of us gets into it, we're all getting into it. We're all stepping up," he said. "You just can't go for no bullshit."
