Walker Edwards and Basham have shown more impact at a fraction of the cost. They were desperate for an edge rusher but Dupree was never a good signing. They overpaid for a guy who was coming off an injury and was the third best pass rusher on his own team who they didn't even try to retain.

Bongo59 Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Yep. The amount we spent on him was a waste. I feel about Dupree the way I did about Davis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschool Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Its amazing how wrong some of you are about Dupree. He has been a difference maker when healthy. Since reinjuring his hip against the Chiefs, he hasn't been the same. Health is the reason Dupree will be cut or asked to take a massive pay cut. https://titansized.com/2022/11/02/tennessee-titans-bud-dupree/ While Bud Dupree has once again struggled with some injuries, he has played more than 12 snaps in 3 games and he has missed or played less than that in 4 games. The 3 games with more than 12 snaps, the Titans averaged 3.7 sacks per game. -The 4 games with 12 or fewer snaps, the Titans averaged 2 sacks per game. His impact is nearly identical to last season even without a star like Harold Landry on the other side. In fact, through seven games he is actually making an even bigger impact than he was last year. The biggest difference between this year and last year is that Bud Dupree is the one getting the sacks instead of Harold Landry. In each of the three games where Dupree has played more than a dozen snaps, he has had a sack. Over the course of a season, that 1.5 sack per game differential turns out to be the difference between a pass rush with 34 sacks and a pass rush with 60 sacks. japan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgo Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 @oldschool More pointedly, the salary cap is the reason he will be cut. We’re way over for 2023 as of now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm pushing back against is the complete bullshit that Dupree isn't a plus defender who makes the defense better and that he'll be easily replaced. Thats crazy talk.

IrishTitansFan Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Weaver completely sucks When they let Dupree go they need to either sign a premium pass rusher in FA or draft one high japan, IsntLifeFunny, and oldschool 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The notion the team planned to replace Dupree with him is laughable. japan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolute BS to pretend like he has at a premium level. He's produced, at a below average starter level... and that's when healthy which has been almost never. The fall off from him to Mario Edwards is not very much. You're welcome. 27 minutes ago, oldschool said: Its amazing how wrong some of you are about Dupree.

IsntLifeFunny Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 I can say with a fair amount of certainty the Titans win the Chiefs game if he doesn't get hurt. But yeah he is overpaid since he can't stay healthy and isn't really a sack specialist. That doesn't mean he isn't a good player. oldschool, and DCTitan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its one thing to argue Dupree isn't a premium edge who racks up sacks. Its another to claim he's a below average starter. Thats an insane take.

He's been asked to do a lot more this year in the base and 3-3-5 looks where he's essentially playing Landry's role. He played really well at the start of the season. He's looked like a shell of himself since KC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvgJoe Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 The Titans cannot cut Dupree and roll with Weaver and a rehabbing Landry. They need at least a rotational piece to pair with Weaver. But Dupree cannot be kept at the current salary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
