    I actually agree with this. It is no doubt Mariota was struggling at the beginning of the season. I personally chalk that up to him being in a new offensive system. However, speed is still a need at the WR position. We need a talent that is capable of threatening the back end of defenses to help open up the field more when teams bear down on the run. The two teams with better running games than us in the league are the Cowboys and Bills. I think that's partially because of their WRs.

    KW sucks my ballz....He needs to go....We definitely need a guy that Defenses have to plan for...A double cover kind of guy....NOBODY is worried about that against us....Including Matthews, even though he is balling out.

    I would also argue we need to find a way to get pressure more as well with the front 7...They have had good moments, but there are times when they get steam rolled and just simply go MIA. Barkley put up 316 on us....Just think about that.....

    I was fine with what we had, but of late, KW has just tanked. We found Sharpe in the 5th, surely we can find someone without breaking the bank that has some speed. I still don't believe we need a "name" guy out there, but we need someone a safety will respect.

    It would have been much worse without all the drops. Two of the last 4 in the end zone were drops. We should have lost that game. We cannot get pressure. When we blitz it's with stunts that take forever for the guy that delayed to get an open lane to get there. We have no speed to do this. Using Casey or even a LB isn't working. I don't think we sacked Barkley one time. For half the season I believed all we needed was an ILB and a two CB's, but we better go very heavy on D in this draft or FA. Allen would be my first pick, and then Cunningham or Foster. If we get enough pressure up front then we can take adequate CB's in the 3rd and 4th or FA.

    Part of the problem:


    Per @PFF: On 39 snaps, when primary in coverage LeShaun Sims allowed passer rating of 130.8: 10 targets, 7 catches, 89 yards, TD. #Titans

    Per @PFF: CB Perrish Cox targeted 7 times for 4 receptions for 43 yards and a TD. Barkley 114.9 passer rating when targeting Cox. #Titans

    You
    You ain't lying brother....We have work to do on Defense. I wouldn't care if we went all in on Defense then picked up a WR/TE in the market

    I like Mike Williams...but we are bleeding out on Defense....What if we get Hopkins in off season. Isn't his contract up? He knows the division too....

    We are far more likely to get another KW, or Kenny Britt, in the first round than a "#1" WR.
