NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans' offense received most of the buzz this offseason due to Marcus Mariota's return and their new receiving weapons, but Saturday against the Carolina Panthers it was the defense's turn to make their presence known. Two turnovers within the first five defensive plays did just that.
Dick LeBeau's diverse blitzing scheme puts a lot of pressure on defensive backs to hold up. Last season, the Titans didn't have the talent to do it consistently. In 2017, a handful of new faces with plus athleticism and ball skills are hoping to change the mentality of this defense.
