Collectively, the Titans have mustered a decent pass rush, notching 26 sacks in 12 games. No defender has even a half-dozen sacks, but five defensive linemen have at least three sacks, which speaks to the depth of the defensive line. However, the way we hear it, don't be surprised if the Titans go looking for pass-rush help in the offseason. DRE Kyle Vanden Bosch is revered for his effort and work ethic and has been more disruptive of late, but he has just three sacks on the season, and he is in the final year of his contract. DLE William Hayes has flashed promise, but he is still developing. The Titans' interior linemen have been disruptive at times, but DRT Tony Brown, like Vanden Bosch, is slated to become a free agent. Key reserve DT Jason Jones, who had four sacks in just seven games before a rotator-cuff injury sidelined him, appears to have a bright future.
