Titans DE Jurrell Casey wants a carry at RB in Pro Bowl

The five-time Pro Bowler asked AFC coach John Harbaugh for a position swap, according to the Associated Press’ Mark Long.

Jurrell Casey has been an impact player for the Tennessee Titans at defensive end for years now.

But he’s got more planned for the 2020 Pro Bowl.

Apparently, Casey doesn’t want to end the showcase game without recording a carry at running back.

The five-time Pro Bowler asked AFC coach John Harbaugh for a position swap, according to the Associated Press’ Mark Long.

“I used to play a little running back,” Casey said. “He said he’s going to try, but he doesn’t’ want to mess up the system too much. I’m going to keep on trying to feed him all week. They’ve got to let me touch the ball at least once.”

On a team like Tennessee’s, Casey probably doesn’t stand a chance at this wish ever coming true during a game.

Those duties belong to former Alabama rusher Derrick Henry, who finished out the season with the NFL’s rushing title, recording 1,540 yards on the ground during the regular season.

But an event like the Pro Bowl, there’s not a whole lot to lose and it could be fun to watch Casey try something a little different.

After all, Henry is in his first-ever Pro Bowl and could probably point him in the right direction.

Pressuring Tom Brady will be key for Titans vs. Patriots

The last time the Titans and Patriots clashed in a regular season game, the Titans recorded a dominant 34-10 win.

The Tennessee Titans didn’t record a single sack on New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady the last time the two teams met in the postseason.

He completed 35-of-53 passes for 337 yards and three touchdowns in a 35-14 victory over the Titans.

The team will want to change that this time around, and has proven that they can in the past.

Tennessee brought Brady down three times and also racked up seven quarterback hits on a day that Brady completed on just 21 of 41 pass attempts.

Titans defensive end Jurrell Casey knows the Titans have to get to the signal-caller to be successful.

“You have to get into the pocket and put pressure on him as much as you can,” Casey said of Brady. “We have to get him rattled and get him frustrated as much as we can. Without getting to him, we are bound to lose this game. So the biggest key is to get to him as much as we can.”

There’s blood in the water as the two teams meet again on Saturday, and the Patriots will certainly be looking for redemption after an embarrassing 27-24 loss to the Miami Dolphins last week.

The two teams are set to kick off at 7:15 p.m. CST on Saturday in Gillette Stadium.
