From Cam Ward to Tyjae Spears to the defensive front, here's my early read on what matters and what doesn't.

By PAUL KUHARSKY

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- What's real and what's not after a couple of days of Titans training camp.

I love the dashy, darty screens and dump-offs we've seen to Tyjae Spears, who looks electric. But passes to running backs have traditionally worked better at practices than in games. I need to ask questions about intentions and see things work in real situations to believe this will translate to when it counts.

That was one topic in this week's edition of the Paul Kuharsky Podcast.
