FanSided has posted an article ranking the defenses from 32 all the way to 1 this weekend, and without further adieu here is where everyone ended up:
13. Denver Broncos
15. Dallas Cowboys
17. Detroit Lions
20. Oakland Raiders
28. Chicago Bears
29. New York Giants
30. TENNESSEE TITANS
32. Atlanta Falcons
What they had to say:
Without quoting directly, the writer said that he thinks that outside of Jurrell Casey and Brian Orakpo there is nothing special about this defense. He also said that he wasn't sure about the Tennessee Titans secondary.
I respect his opinion, but let's be honest this defense has more talent top to bottom than the Pittsburgh Steelers have had in the past five years. They have a top-10 pass rushing tandem, one of the best young defensive linemen in the league, a fast and strong linebacker group, and a defensive backfield anchored by Jason McCourty and Da'Norris Searcy. I just have a hard time finding the big weak link here.
However, this just shows what everyone should know at this point and that is that the Tennessee Titans are going to have to prove it on the field first. No one is going to just accept that a 2-14 team is leaps and bounds better until they see it on the field.
