Former Tennessee Titans and current Carolina Panthers defensive lineman DaQuan Jones recently dished a bit on two of the rosters he was a part of during his seven seasons with the team.
Jones, who was a fourth-round pick of the Titans in 2014, was asked by CBS Sports’ Steven Taranto how the Panthers, a team that has lost four straight, can avoid allowing their season to get out of control like past Titans teams did.
In his response, Jones says the Panthers roster he is currently on is different, noting that the 2014-15 Titans teams that Taranto pointed to specifically had bad locker rooms with “greedy, selfish” players who were only out for themselves.
The 2014 Titans and 2015 Titans were 2-14 and 3-13 respectively. Jones says players on that team were only out for themselves instead of the team.
Believes the Panthers are “completely different” despite being on the schnide right now.

Those two Titans teams were a disaster after starting out 1-0 and ultimately sported a combined record of 5-27 after going 2-14 in 2014 and 3-13 in 2015. The head coach of those squads, Ken Whisenhunt, didn’t make it out of his second season before being replaced by Mike Mularkey.
Thankfully, the Titans saw a culture change in the years that followed and have since put together five straight winning seasons, three of which have resulted in trips to the playoffs, including an AFC Championship Game appearance.
Nonetheless, this was an interesting look into some past Titans teams. This franchise has come a long way since then.
