Sure, it makes it not as bad if they lose him.. but there's no reason to drop him. He had 2 very productive seasons and then last year he was hurt. I dont know where we get an edge but we for sure will need to pick someone up. We should still be in the top 5 or so in cap space after we sign our rookies. No reason to waste millions in future cap space on a meh veteran. We have our 2 starters plus a pass rush specialist. I’d just stick with what they have and look for cheap developmental depth at the end of camp. Lantern, and freakingeek 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justafan Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 I think the Titans understood they couldn’t fix the pass rush this offseason so instead they focused on building a line that would stop the run, set the edge, and get push, forcing the QB to throw into an aggressive secondary. prometheus, NashvilleNinja, and freakingeek 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamRamrod Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 Addition by subtraction with Landry. I have a hard time imagine it being worse than last season. Starkiller 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryBoats Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 (edited) Vrabel managed some respectable defenses despite lacking at Edge. I'm not even sure who they had at the position 2022 (Landry was injured) yet they were just outside top 10 in points allowed. They were #3 in 2018 even with Sharif Finch and Kamalei Correa playing major snaps . They are far from being dominant, but a quality DC would go a long way towards filling in the gaps Edited May 8 by TerryBoats Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nash Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 I'm hoping Travis Smith as defensive run game co-ordinator will go a long way to improving that aspect of the defense.. hopefully at least a foundational start toward getting better on defense..

OILERMAN Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 Once they decided to go with Ward they were never going to get the elite edge guy, Carter. Would be a huge bonus if they got the QB and Olaejo turns out to be a huge steal NashvilleNinja, and freakingeek 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a short term signing who has played under Wilson . Assuming his knee doesn’t give out, you pretty much know what you are going to get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bongo59 Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 17 hours ago, Lantern said: We went into the draft knowing that this position was among our weakest. To the Titans credit they drafted one project in round two. But that was it? We needed more help here. We have a pretty good to above average interior DL. But without an actual Edge rush we will watch backup quarterbacks destroy us with their protection? I am sick of folks taking all the time in the world against us. Even with Landry opposing quarterbacks ate us up. We will go into the 2026 season looking for pass rush again, and all you guys will be whining for is WR. The Titans were at their best historically with effective pass rush. Kearse and Vaden Bosch. But we go into 2025-2026 with Arden Key, a developmental rookie and what? The Eagles just won the Super Bowl with pass rush. Abdul Carter and the NYG trade solved this but the idiot Brinker passed.

I’d just stick with what they have and look for cheap developmental depth at the end of camp. I don't think it will be hurting future cap space. Likely 1 year deals. We need someone for this season. Same for MLB and OT depth. depends on how much we try to roll over. But that has a limit and we don't care about too many big FA options anymore.

Who knows who might become available or who we may bring in. Maybe Za'Darius Smith or Matt Judon? I know both are old and maybe creaky, but maybe bring one in for rotational depth? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ CaliTitan3518 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
