With the loss of Kevin Vanden Bosch and the foreshadowing of Keith Bulluck’s end as a Titan really show that the team is going through a transition in its front seven. Gone will be players like Vanden Bosch, Bulluck, and Haynesworth who once were big names on top notch defense in years past.
Of course some of previous years draft picks will have to start producing and the Titans have some good prospects. The guy who will break out next year will be Jason Jones who struggled with injuries last season. Jones had three sacks against the Steelers two years ago and will really mature in his third full season. Tony Brown is a vet who is excellent against both the run and pass. What will be interesting is the two opening days bookends for Tennessee. Most likely William Hayes and whoever the Titans draft number one will be putting their hands in the ground game one in Nashville.
With a star studded secondary this season it will be vital that the Titans get pressure and cause quarterbacks to throw to the like Corland Finnegan and Michael Griffin.
Gerald McGrath will be the one most likely to fill the shoes of one Keith Bulluck. McGrath showed flashes of skill last year but really struggled in a Thursday Night game at home against San Diego. He needs to step in and play good.
Coach Fisher is a defensive expert and I expect nothing less than a solid draft with a solid defensive line and linebacker corp.
