Dupree ready to play with hair on fire to help Titans’ D

Associated Press  

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans failed in their attempts to improve their pass rush in free agency a year ago. “Definitely, I’m going to go out and just play with my hair on fire just trying to get after the quarterback as much as I can creating pressure, trying to get the ball out, just everything I can do just to keep the train rolling man and help those guys on D,” Dupree said Friday. The Titans also have signed cornerback Janoris “Jackrabbit” Jenkins in working to fix a defense that was one of the NFL’s worst last season. Tennessee announced Friday a deal bringing back linebacker Jayon Brown, the Titans’ leading tackler before a season-ending elbow injury last November. I feel like I can just come in and give leadership and a veteran mentality to the backend guys.” Jenkins agreed to terms on his multi-year deal a day after the Titans landed Dupree.
