More than just a pass rush issue

That isn’t the only problem either. After Adam Humphries went back on I.R. and Kalif Raymond was put on the COVID list, the Titans were so thin and devoid of talent at wide receiver (behind the two stars) that against the Detroit Lions, this happened:

Who knows when Humphries or Raymond will be able to come back or even if they will be able to come back, but now seems like the perfect time to bring them in and ease them into the offense as a third target.

Even if all of the touches and targets go to other players, at least let the guys on the market get into game shape and get ready for a playoff run.

While all eyes are rightfully on the defense, don’t overlook this as a position where the Titans could sniff around and look to add a backup or role player if the price was right and if there was a fit.

Having said that, you have to start with the pass rush so let’s start with the man that inspired the article.
