Chuck Cecil: Growing pains or growing concerns?

The winds of change blew tremendously during the offseason for the Tennessee Titans. While everyone focused upon the departure of Albert Haynesworth, former defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz also left the building to coach the winless Detroit Lions.

With "The Schwartz" no longer with the Titans, former NFL badboy Chuck Cecil was named as the team's new defensive coordinator. Lauded for his damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead approach to playing the game, many were hoping that Cecil would put his stamp on a Titans' defense while not missing a beat in spite of Schwartz and Fat Albert vacating the premises.

Not so fast, as Lee Corso often says. Cecil's troops are ranked dead-last defending the pass, as opposing receivers have often run wide-open like cheetahs in the wilderness.

Is Chuck merely experiencing growing pains, or should we be increasingly concerned about his ability to run the once-formidable Tennessee Titan defense?
