Pass Rush (Key Players: Jurrell Casey, Derrick Morgan, Sammie Lee Hill, Shaun Phillips, Mike Martin, Kamerion Wimbley, Karl Klug)

The Titans’ pass rush is a hodge-podge of a superstar (Jurrell Casey), an ascending talent (Derrick Morgan), some big names on the backsides of their careers (Shaun Phillips, Kamerion Wimbley) and a couple of pluggers.

The best of the bunch if obviously Casey, who is a dynamite defensive lineman in the Titans’ 3-4 scheme. There were questions about how Casey would translate from the 4-3 scheme he had previously excelled in. Consider those questions answered, as Casey continues to be a force, having racked up 27 pressures per PFF.

Morgan, though he lacks sack numbers, has been a force in his own right with 16 hurries.

No one else has made a big statistical impact, though Karl Klug and Mike Martin can occasionally push the pocket occasionally.

The Ravens’ focus should be on Casey, who always has the potential to make a major impact.
