Titans signing Bud Dupree listed among worst decisions of offseason
The Titans spent a pretty penny to bring Dupree in.

It is a little suspect on the price. Coming off injury plus being the number 2 pass rusher on the team combines for that way of thinking. But he is a decent run defender and he has progressed yearly so there is some things in his favor. I just have to wonder if the **** are getting a top tier pass rusher, because that is what they payed for.
Yeah the great unknown. I would think with Highsmith aboard probably not. But with a premium on pass rushers perhaps they would have tried to make it close.I fully agree slash and I understand our "cap" had a lot to do with his casualty. My question is this........ had we had the cap room would you have signed him for the same deal the **** did. I don't know the full extent of his **** contract but what little I do know is I think they overpaid for what they are getting.

That was coupled with Bush's injury and you would have to hope that Highsmith will make a second year jump. No question sack production went down. You have to hope for three things.All I know is ...our defense went south shortly after his injury..
you are not counting the loss of Nelson/Hilton there, Sutton either replaces Hilton or Nelson, can't replace bothThat was coupled with Bush's injury and you would have to hope that Highsmith will make a second year jump. No question sack production went down. You have to hope for three things.
1. This teams stays extremely healthy because they are paper thin.
2. Highsmith makes a second year jump.
3. Harris rehabilitates the run game with help from hopefully better line play (a stretch for sure).
I hope you're right but Dupree was at his high point when he got hurt - I, personally, think he'll pick up where he left off...in a year or two roche or highsmith will have made you forget old arc around bud.
Fair point. You have to hope Sutton steps up and they can replace Nelson. Hilton's tackling and blitzing will not be replaced. His coverage can. Lots of ifs no doubt. My personal opinion is this team will struggle to make the Tomlin 9 or more wins. No .500 possible this year. I felt they should rebuild with a new coach, but obviously that is not happening.you are not counting the loss of Nelson/Hilton there, Sutton either replaces Hilton or Nelson, can't replace both
Saying Bud was still running the Jarvis Jones Arc is unfair. But he got paid to be a lot more than good. (guaranteed 7 million per season).I hope you're right but Dupree was at his high point when he got hurt - I, personally, think he'll pick up where he left off...
Especially because their cap situation isn't that much different then Pittsburgh.I'm expecting 8/10 sacks yarly plus solid running D and great work ethic by Dupree, if that's worth that shitload of money, well I don't know.
