NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Titans defensive linemen were not falling on their faces in spring positional drills, and it’s not happening now.
But in the continuing conversation about the group’s big transition, it might not have been that big a surprise.
“A lot of guys when they go from a read system to an attack system and they're in individual, you'll see a lot of guys fall on their face during individual,” Robert Saleh said. “And that's natural, there's an adjustment.”
Before he played for Saleh with the Jets, Jacob Martin had not been in an all-out attack defense.
Why Robert Saleh's Defense Feels 'Out of Control'
“I felt so out of control,” Martin said. “But I think that's how you should feel if you're doing it right. You'll gain the footing, the vision and the savvy as you grow in it. That's the feeling you should have when you first start the attack front.
