NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Titans talk pressure, not sacks.
But Bud Dupree is making sack money and comes to Nashville with sack intentions.
He had 11.5 in 2019 and eight in 2020 before a torn ACL stopped his season after 10 games.
Sacks stall drives and affect games in a way pressure doesn’t, and the Titans were the worst third-down defense in modern NFL history last year. A revamped front headlined by Dupree can alter things for everyone.
