| The Titans have a huge hole to fill with the loss of tackle Albert Haynesworth. He was the heart and soul of their top defense last season. A dropoff in production defensively wouldn't be a surprise with Haynesworth gone. But the Titans still have some talent on the defensive side of the ball. Linebacker Keith Bulluck is a top playmaker that becomes the anchor of the Titans defense. Tackles Tony Brown and Jovan Haye are better than average at the position and should do well in stuffing the run and getting some pressure on the quarterback. Cornerback Cortland Finnegan seems to get better and better every season, turning into a legit No. 1 cornerback. Veteran Nick Harper is the starter opposite Finnegan and more than holds his own in pass coverage. Michael Griffin has become a ball hawk in the secondary, grabbing seven interceptions last season, giving the Titans another weapon defensively. The Titans will be looking for someone to take over the return duties with Chris Carr gone. Rookie Kenny Britt or Chris Davis could be in the mix.

The loss of Haynesworth makes this a platoon unit more than a starter. They'll get some sacks and turnovers but won't be among the league leaders. Tennessee also will do a solid job of limiting points and yards most weeks. |
