AKEEM AYERS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Titans' defense looks to become aggressor
The 2011 NFL season was a challenging one for first-year coaching staffs in particular.
To the extent that a staff might have changed schemes, it had no offseason in which to install them, owing to the lockout and somewhat shorter training camp.
In the Tennessee Titans and head coach Mike Munchaks case, they still managed to go 9-7 while tying for 18th in the league in total defense...

Titans’ Akeem Ayers trying to become a better pass rusher
As a linebacker coming out of UCLA, some looked at Akeem Ayers as a potential 3-4 outside linebacker because of his size (6-3 254) and blitzing ability. He ended up in a 4-3 with the Titans and not rushing the passer much at all in 2011, but that sounds like it could change next season. Ayers has been spending a lot of time this offseason with new pass rushing coach Keith Millard...

Examining the Titans' draft trends
As Andrew noted, it's been a quiet time for the Titans of late. They haven't added a player since signing Kamerion Wimbley ten days ago, and don't seem to have been particularly close to any either. There have been Asante Samuel trade rumors flying, but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt in assuming Jim Wyatt is right and they're not giving up a third-round...

Titans Not Impressed With Rookie LB Akeem Ayers' Play Thus Far
The Titans are hurting in the pass-rush department, an area in which 2010 first-rounder Derrick Morgan was supposed to excel. Although Morgan has recorded only two sacks this season, a team source told PFW that he has been the club's most consistent defensive lineman this season. Among the players whom the club needs to get more from is rookie SLB Akeem Ayers. The Titans'...
