3. Can Logan Ryan be replaced?
There’s no question Logan Ryan wasn’t effective enough in the slot last season, but the Titans still have to make sure they at least match what he was able to do in coverage and when asked to blitz. Perhaps most importantly, his leadership will be sorely missed.
While it appears the Titans have pegged Kristian Fulton to at least spend some time at slot corner in 2020, there’s simply no telling how effective the rookie will be in such an important role.
There are other options, though. The Titans could use Amani Hooker there, as the Iowa product was an elite slot corner in college.
General manager Jon Robinson has also floated the idea of using Adoree’ Jackson as the nickel corner, however his importance on the boundary can’t be understated and it’ll be impossible to replace him on the outside if he’s in the slot.
