NASHVILLE, Tenn. – During Mike Vrabel’s two years leading the Titans, the defense has failed to sack the quarterback consistently enough.
In 2018, it recorded 39 sacks, 16th in the NFL, led by Jurrell Casey’s seven (tied for 38th in the NFL).
In 2019, it recorded 43 sacks, 13 in the NFL, led by Harold Landry’s nine (tied for 22nd.)
Much of my banter with Vrabel over those two seasons has concerned sacks and gone something like this...
Me: You should value sacks more.
Him: You put too much stock in sacks. We affect the quarterback in a lot of ways. Get your nose out of the stats sheet.
Me: But what if you got a guy who can sack the quarterback?
