When it comes to the Titans’ defense, much of the attention has been on guys like Jeffery Simmons, Harold Landry and Bud Dupree, which has led to Denico Autry flying under the radar outside of Nashville. But Autry deserves more attention. After finishing with nine sacks and providing an upgrade against the run, Autry has cemented himself as Tennessee’s best offseason acquisition. Autry is one-fourth of a vaunted front four that has played elite run defense and had success getting after the quarterback, and the former Indianapolis Colt has done damage both on the interior and off the edge. Autry, along with the other three, will be instrumental in beating the Bengals on Saturday, as Cincinnati sports a top-notch passing attack that must be met with a consistent pass-rush in order to have a chance to keep it in check. If the Bengals focus too much on stopping Landry and Simmons, Autry will capitalize and make life very difficult for Joe Burrow and Co.
