The roster is much better than one that finished a season bad enough to get the No. 1 overall pick. Coaching problems were a big part of it, but now the Tennessee Titans finally seem to have stability. Marcus Mariota is healthy and the team has given him a line to protect him and two giant running backs to feed. There’s even a decent defense in place with some quality players and coached by the indomitable Dick LeBeau. That being said, it far from a complete unit with a number of key pieces still missing.
<p>Chief among them is a true edge rusher who can create havoc in the passing game. Brian Orakpo and Derrick Morgan are serviceable players in that role but neither can be considered a true difference-maker. That is what Tim Williams is becoming at Alabama. He looks like a classic 3-4 outside linebacker: quick off the snap, athletic, flexible enough to bend the edge and showing the violent hands to shrug off blockers. When he’s got the motor running hot, he’s almost unstoppable. Just what LeBeau needs.</p>. OLB. Alabama. Tim Williams . 5. player. 35
