MCM Player Reviews: Jevon Kearse

by Jimmy on Jan 31, 2009 7:00 AM CST

The biggest question mark on Kearse coming in was his health. He proved in 2008 that he can stay healthy for 16+ games. Jevon's numbers don't jump off the page at you, 3.5 sacks and 3 forced fumbles, but he was a solid addition to the defense. He also provided a veteran presence and leadership that was even more important with KVB missing the better part of the season. He isn't "The Freak" like he was when he first came in the league, but he is still a solid player.

The Titans brought Kearse in on a 2 year deal at a good price, so there is no reason he shouldn't be back with the team in 2009.

glad to have him back on the cheap

he was starting to show flashes of freak towards the end of the season. he can get to the qb every now and then, but it’s the downfield tackles that he makes that are so valuable. sometimes he is almost like a 4th linebacker out there making tackles several yards past the line of scrimmage.
jevon has now played in all 16 games of a season 4 times, all for the titans. poor philly. almost 30 mil for 22 sacks during 2004-7… now he’s back here, healthy and making 3 mil a year.
