Tennessee Titans run defense ranked in middle of pack for 2019

If there’s one part of the Tennessee Titans defense that needs improvement this upcoming season, it’s the run defense.

The Titans were the No. 18 unit against the run in terms of rushing yards allowed per game in 2018, while their pass defense was an impressive sixth despite some early-season struggles.

In ranking the run defenses of all 32 NFL teams for the 2019 season, Pro Football Focus’ Michael Renner sees the Titans having the No. 16 unit.

The Titans have the makings of something special at the linebacker position, but neither Jayon Brown nor Rashaan Evans was known for their run defense last season.
