Titans' Front-Heavy Defense Blueprint

On May 1st, the Tennessee Titans are flipping the script on building a defense, starting from the front and working back under coach Robert Saleh and

GM Mike Borgonzi. Their big philosophy prioritizes defensive linemen and linemen backers over corners and safeties.

They drop the largest contract of the offseason on defensive linemen John Franklin Myers. Grab Ed Druscher-Keldrick Falk in the first round and trade it for

Germaine Johnson plus Solomon Thomas to beef up that front. They did address the secondary a bit by signing cornerbacks, a Launtai Taylor and Cordale Flot, but that spending paled next to the

trench investments. Rumors swirled all offseason about chasing off ball linebackers from free agents to draftlings like sunny styles before they traded up for

Anthony Hill in the second round. Fans and analysts see this as a clear blueprint to swarm quarterbacks with ways of solid to elite front seven players, making life hell for

offenses. It puts pressure on the Titans to dominate a front before worrying about coverage downfield. Expect more tweaks before training camp, like maybe snagging another veteran corner, but that's not the main focus right now.

The front office wants a steady flow of late round talent backing those starters at linebacker to keep costs down long term.

This front heavy approach could reshape how the Titans play next season and will watch if they're draft and develop offensive line plan holds up against all that pressure.
