## Resource

The Tennessee Titans defense got some revenge on Monday after the offense had their way in Saturday's practice with Jeffery Simmons and the defensive front having their way. Joined by Jermaine Johnson, the defensive line got pressure routinely and some new faces saw new opportunities. It wasn't all defense though as Cam Ward and the offense made their plays including a crazy 4th down conversion to Carnell Tate and Elic Ayomanor continuing to make plays. The Titans may have a pass rush problem on their hands though as Simmons doesn't have much help on the edge and now names like Truman Jones are getting starter chances and it just makes you a bit concerned, Finally, the Titans are dealing with some absences from practice, especially at running back, but it is nothing to be concerned about. Will Levis may get more chances as well if Mitch Trubisky turns out to be banged up after leaving practice early.
