3 Tennessee Titans who could have a breakout game in Week 4

2. Cameron Wake & Harold Landry III
Can the real pass-rushers please stand up? After a fantastic effort in Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns, EDGEs Cameron Wake and Harold Landry have been relatively silent. Granted, they faced arguably the best offensive line in football—the Indianapolis Colts—in Week 2, and they proved extremely difficult to block.
Week 4 needs to be a different story. If there was ever a time to get after the quarterback, it’s now. The Falcons boast one of the best wide receiver corps in the NFL, and QB Matt Ryan is surgical if allowed the time. That can’t happen, or this will be a long day, see: anything WR Julio Jones has ever done to any cornerback, ever.
One thing the Titans have going for them is that the Falcons offensive line is not on the same level as the Colts. And, according to PFF, their starting tackles—Jake Matthews and rookie Kaleb McGary— have player grades of 47.2 and 56.4, respectively.
In other (good) news, if the Falcons decide to bring in heavy TE sets, their best pass-blocking tight end—former Titan Luke Stocker—is nursing a foot injury and may not play. Time to eat, boys.
