How many new starters will the Tennessee Titans have in Week 1?
By Will Lomas
New starters on defense (6):
NT/1-tech: T'Vondre Sweat
LB: Kenneth Murray
LB: Cedric Gray
CB: L'Jarius Sneed
CB: Chidobe Awuzie
S: Elijah Molden? (This will probably change)
The Tennessee Titans upgraded at wide receiver and on the offensive line, but no group in the NFL has improved as much as the Titans cornerbacks.
L'Jarius Sneed and Chidobe Awuzie are two of the most physical cornerbacks in the NFL, and they also have the reputation of being two of the best leaders at their position as well. This new Titans defense under Dennard Wilson is going to rely heavily on the corners to do their job while players like Murray and Gray get to blitz more.
Upgrading at that position was a must and Ran Carthon took that as a challenge and attacked the corner market picking up two players who should be crucial for this defense.
