Tennessee Titans’ defense is gearing up for an aggressive season following the acquisition of cornerback L’Jarius Sneed.
Titans general manager Ran Carthon expressed his excitement about the addition of Sneed, along with free-agent signee Chidobe Awuzie, as key players in new defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson’s aggressive scheme.
Carthon highlighted Sneed’s physicality, tackling abilities, and coverage techniques, which were instrumental in the Kansas City Chiefs’ recent Super Bowl victories. Sneed’s impressive plays included a crucial forced fumble in the AFC Championship Game and solid coverage in Super Bowl LVIII.
The Titans are confident that Sneed’s skills will bolster their defense, especially in coverage, as they aim to improve their performance in turnovers. Wilson, known for his experience in developing strong secondaries, has a clear vision of cultivating an attacking defense in Tennessee.
In addition to Sneed, the Titans are considering further defensive upgrades, particularly in the safety position. Carthon hinted at potential moves post-draft to address any remaining needs in the defense.
With a strategic approach to player acquisitions, the Titans are poised to strengthen their defense and compete at a high level in the upcoming season.
