Tennessee Titans positional grades and biggest needs Week 4
By Will Lomas
Offensive line: B
On paper, the Titans had a good but not great day. You see 3 sacks and only 24 yards from the running backs on the ground and you kind of cringe.
However, it is important to know that the 3 sacks came on 46 drop backs and took place over 5 quarters.
The running game was also largely used as a decoy to open up the big chunk passes that the Titans continued to go back to.
Again, when it counted most the Titans pass protection held. The chunk passes that took three or four seconds to open up and the overtime touchdown drive were the biggest plays in this game for Tennessee.
Jack Conklin and Taylor Lewan looked great for 95% of the plays and they remind you what this offense can be with good protection on the outside.
Going forward I will be looking for this unit to do more on the ground as teams adjust to the passing game from the Titans. They have to step up in those situations if they are going to make this offense a top unit.
