Jurrell Casey’s injury will show need for improved DL depth
Tennessee Titans need more help from the DL with Jurrell Casey out.
The Tennessee Titans placed Jurrell Casey on IR this week and it is going to really hurt the team.
Jurrell Casey is the leading sacker for the Titans which is a big red flag for that group of EDGE rushers, but that shouldn’t take away from Casey’s achievement.
It is interesting that Casey finishes with 7 sacks as a DT who was asked in certain situations to not even rush the passer but to open up lanes for other defenders to make plays. Whether you agree with Dean Pees or not in his decision to do that, the fact remains that when he has been on the field both he and the linebackers behind him have been very efficient.
