Will Lomas’ Tennessee Titans defense

Personnel:

EDGE: Derrick Roberson

DL: Daquan Jones

DL: Brent Urban

EDGE: Sharif Finch

LB: Jayon Brown

LB: David Long

CB: Adoree Jackson

CB: Logan Ryan

S: Kevin Byard

S: Amani Hooker

CB: LeShaun Sims

I think this group is pretty loaded. Daquan Jones and Sharif Finch anchor the 4-man line with Brent Urban’s power allowing Jones and Urban to alternate which technique they are playing.

Derick Roberson has been impressive in pass rush drills so this defense could let him rush upfield exclusively and rely on the run support of the great linebackers and defensive backs.

Speaking of which, this group is very fast with Jayon Brown and David Long inside, which means they can really blitz and attack from any angle and have the athleticism to cover the ground they need to.

Finally, the defensive backs are outstanding if I say so myself. You get the best safety in the NFL and you get to put Adoree Jackson and LeShaun Sims on the outside, while letting Logan Ryan dominate in the slot. Along with them you have the versatile rookie Amani Hooker who can do a little bit of everything.

With that many talented defensive backs, you can send guys like Kevin Byard and Logan Ryan on blitzes which they have shown to excel at.

I love this defense and if the defensive line can hold up against a talented offensive line on the other side then they would dominate.
