    The Tennessee Titans finished the 2010 season with a record of 6-10, losing their final five games. They struggled defensively, ranking 27th in total defense and allowing 22.2 points per game. Offensively they ranked 26th in total offense, scoring just 21.2 points per game. The Titans drafted quarterback Jake Locker with the 8th overall pick, hoping he can develop into a franchise quarterback, and also added linebacker Akeem Ayers and defensive tackle Jurrell Casey to help improve their defense.

    technique to suffocate the pocket as a 3technique tackle or kick outside to pressure passers as an edge-rushing end. Last years first-round pick, end Derrick Morgan will be a redshirt rookie this year after a season-ending ACL injury cut short a promising rookie campaign. Depth will be an issue along the D-line. SenDerrick Marks, Jovan Haye, Shaun Smith and rookie Jurrell Casey must stay healthy and active inside, while Dave Ball will need to capture lightning in a bottle for the second straight season in order to take pressure off of a secondary that struggled due, in part, to the lack of a pass-rush. Established Pro Bowlers like safeties Michael Griffin and Chris Hope and corner Cortland Finnegan, along with upand-coming second-year ball-hawk Alterraun Verner, look good on paper. But the foursome struggled as the leagues 29th-ranked pass defense in 2010. At linebacker, newly acquired middle man Barrett Ruud brings leadership and toughness. Rookie Akeem Ayers has the skill set to help the pass rush and pass coverage. The same was once thought of Gerald McRath. Otherwise, its special teamers and overachievers like veteran Will Witherspoon, David Thornton, Rennie Curran and rookie Colin McCarthy.

    SPECIALISTS Already one of the best kickers in the game, Rob Bironas is coming off of arguably his best season as a pro hitting 24-of-26 field goals (a career-best 92.3 percent), with a long of 55 yards. As a rookie, return specialist Marc Mariani earned a trip to the Pro Bowl. Punter (and holder) Brett Kern hasnt made anyone forget retired Pro Bowler Craig Hentrich. FINAL ANALYSIS At first glance, the Titans are in rebuilding mode and at a considerable disadvantage with a first-year coach and rookie quarterback during the lockout. But the AFC South is a wide-open division. And remember, the Titans started 52 last season before the Fisher-Young fiasco sent the team into a 18 tailspin proving once again that a house divided against itself cannot stand. With new leadership in place and a unified locker room, a breath of fresh air could breathe life into Tennessee.

    The Titans shocked the TV talking heads and draft mockers by taking Locker at No. 8 overall over the consensus second-best passer, Blaine Gabbert, who went two picks later to the rival Jaguars. The tough-as-nails, athletic Locker is undoubtedly raw, but possesses the physical tools and intangibles to develop into a franchise quarterback. Ayers is a rangy outside linebacker who reminds many of a young Keith Bulluck; he will be counted on to contribute much sooner than Bulluck once was, however. Casey will be plugged into the middle of the D-line rotation, while McCarthy should contribute immediately on special teams, and Harper will provide the type of change-of-pace power back the team has not had since LenDale White.
