Tennessee invested heavily in one area this offseason with a defensive-minded head coach running the show. Five weeks into the season, the return on that investment has been hard to explain.
A to Z Sports argues that the Tennessee Titans' pass rush has been the most disappointing unit during the team's 0-5 start under head coach Robert Saleh. Despite significant offseason investments and Saleh's defensive background, Tennessee has struggled to generate consistent pressure on opposing passers outside of defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, who continues to perform at an elite level despite frequent double-teams.
The Titans rank 31st in total pressures and pressure quarterbacks on just 21.5% of dropbacks through five weeks. The article notes that offseason acquisition John Franklin-Myers and rookie draft picks Femi Oladejo and Keldrick Faulk have offered minimal pass-rushing impact alongside Simmons, while an ineffective offense has further burdened the defense.
