    Would be a great pickup. 25 year old pass rusher who gives us insurance for Orakpo or Morgan if they get hurt again. Would also allow for Titans to change things up on 3rd down nickel packages.

    Orakpo- Casey- Jones- Morgan- Vernon

    Looks pretty nasty to me.

    I absolutely love it. People are looking at his sacks as the only means to determine his impact. Guy has racked up a ridiculous amount of pressures and QB hits. Long-term piece who would do well in Tennessee. Make it happen, JR!

    Ugh. The Derrick Morgan argument. We already have two guys like that and they're getting paid $35 million each.

    Plus if he were a Titan last year, Mariota wouldn't have been hurt the first time.

    Why anyone uses orapko or Morgan for an arguement is why we're set at pass rushers is 200% beyond me.

    We need depth at pass rusher IMO because there's such a dropoff if either of those guys go down. Bass showed promise last year but if we're going to scheme on getting pressure, we need the pressure regardless of injuries. Vernon and Harrison? (DT) could make us really deep and effective with a lot of different guys.

    Like the old defense where you didn't know who was going to hit you, you just knew the line was coming.

    We literally used to knock out QB's every other game it seemed like when our line was at its best. I remember the year we had AH and he was just tossing guys.

    DL so much more important than DBs
