I think we've definitively found out that this whole "Dupree's impact doesn't show up on the stat sheet" stuff is narrative. Autry is the straw that stirs that drink (Simmons aside of course).  I don't think this is true at all. When healthy Dupree made everyone better. Right now he can't even win one on one so he's clearly still hurt. Is he worth his contract? No. edge rushers rarely are as teams are forced to overpay them.

I think it was Autry and Landry that made things happen last year. This year we've seen stretches with Dupree out and stretches with Autry out and it seems very apparent to me that Autry's absence is felt much more strongly. I get that edge rushers get overpaid but we didn't have to overpay this one. I said he would never live up to that contract then and it's looking like I was right. He's a complimentary piece IMO. Justafan, and tgo 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dupree was never going to be a 15 sack guy here. Hes a better version of Orakpo but isn't a premiere edge like you said. I didn't like the signing either but he's definitely been impactful. Dude just can't stay healthy. He'll be hard to replace though. Weaver ain't the guy and there is a reason Landry got less APY. The Titans DL is Simmons and a bunch guys who play better than the sum of their parts. japan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autry is one of the most underrated and versatile players in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernope Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 The Dupree signing was rough because there was never an injury discount. It was always expected to be $34mil for a season and a half of play. titanskick8851 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been a disappointment and made himself expendable. Landry is the more productive player and as long as he comes back healthy, he, Simmons, Autry, and Weaver will be enough even if Weaver leaves a lot to be desired. Justafan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
