The Tennessee Titans recently placed underperforming rookie EDGE Femi Oladejo on IR. Veteran pass rusher Arden Key was also ruled OUT this weekend with an ongoing injury. Being shorthanded at EDGE would be a death sentence for most questionable defenses, but it doesn't have to be that way for the Titans against the New England Patriots in Week 7.
Key and Oladejo haven't been good pass rushers this season. The Titans' "best" pass-rushing EDGEs have been Jihad Ward and Dre'Mont Jones. In obvious passing downs where the Titans want to pin their ears back and rush the quarterback, those two players need to keep living up to the standard they have set in recent weeks.
