Trouble setting the edge
There’s no question that Beasley is a freak athlete and could be a huge asset in the pass-rush, while also being able to drop back into coverage when needed to do so.
However, there is a concern about his ability to play the run, as ESPN noted.
At times with the Falcons, he was not able to hold outside containment, which is something the Titans ask their outside linebackers to do in run defense. In some circles, Beasley was labeled as a sack-chaser, and he’ll need to be more than just that for Titans coach Mike Vrabel.
This is something to keep an eye on as Beasley tries to fit in with head coach Mike Vrabel’s defense.
