Downing trying to tune up Titans' offense, not replace Smith
I look at this job more as what coach (Mike) Vrabel and (GM) Jon Robinson asked me to do to fill it this year, not to be the Arthur Smith or to be anybody else for that matter,” Downing said Wednesday in his first availability with reporters since being promoted from tight ends coach in January. Downing has a couple of big advantages taking over as Tennessee's new offensive coordinator. Unlike Smith, now head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, Downing has been a coordinator in the NFL previously.
