The fact that we are actively searching for a DC is my biggest takeaway here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans0021 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Though, to his credit, he took over as a secondary coach in Pittsburgh and in the last two years, Minah went from above average to great, Haden had a career revival and they’ve ranked in the top five in pass defense both years.

TitanLegend Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Looks like Vrabel is following that 2010ish Belichick model after all. Tried to do it himself, failed miserably and had to be carried by offense, now correcting it and hopefully bringing in someone else to run the defense.

ttitansfan4life Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 I remember Austin was a hot candidate a few years ago for HC jobs. We actually interviewed him. Weird he’s not even a DC right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the Lions and Bengals tho. Where good coaches go to die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSlim Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 The fact that we’re actually interviewing someone outside the organization for our DC spot and tried to interview an outside the box OC candidate in Eliott has me optimistic, early on for this offseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Hope- Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 i wonder whether curtis samuel will come cheaper in FA than resigning corey. we could really use a guy who can take the top off the defense who *isn't* kalif raymond. samuel can do that while fitting nicely into the #2 role beside AJ.

He’s somebody I would definitely look at. He has the run after catch ability and can take the top off the defense, which is something our offense needs. I wanted us to draft him when he was coming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttitansfan4life Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 So who is everyone’s top pass-rusher they want in FA. It’s a pretty solid group assuming most guys make it to FA. Bud Dupree - Coming off a torn ACL and was talked about as a bust before Watt got there. 28 before next season Matthew Judon - Will be 30 before next season and has never hit 10 sacks although close. Yannick Ngakoue - Will he even hit FA after Baltimore traded for him. 26 by next season but hasn’t looked that good for Baltimore. Definitely has shown to be a very good pass-rusher. Von Miller(Team Option) - I can’t see him not being back with Denver but certainly a trade option. Will be 32 going into next season and coming off a knee injury. Shaquil Barrett - Only 28 and still playing extremely well. Had his huge breakout season last year with almost 20 sacks. Still had 8 this year. Jadeveon Clowney - People can say what they want but his impact was below average. Couldn’t even generate 1 sack and another knee issue. Just not very good at rushing the passer. Justin Houston - Still playing pretty well. 8 sacks this year. Will be 32 before next season. Ryan Kerrigan - 5.5 sacks but was pretty much the backup by the end of the year behind two incredibly talented edge rushers in Sweat and Young. 33 before next season. Believed we inquired about him at the deadline. Olivier Vernon - 9 sacks this season playing next to Garrett. Will 31 mid season. Leonard Floyd - Had his breakout year this season with 10.5 sacks. Will be 29 in September. I believe I hit all the big ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the most talented pure pass rusher, but at his best, he is better as an all around player than most on that list. Should not cost us a lot and probably won't require a long term commitment.

Either that or take a chance on a guy like Carl Lawson and also team him with a high draft pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
