Tennessee Titans: Winners and losers preseason week 3
By Will Lomas
Loser: Every single guard on the roster
They were all bad last night, but in different ways. These are the notes I have on each after my third viewing of the game:
-Good job getting to the second level. Handled the LOS well on run plays. Failed to communicate with Ben Jones on the safety, got beaten by a two-man game that he failed to identify.
-Not really bad, but never showed great power or the ability to control the POA. Also, had a penalty to call back A.J. Brown’s first career catch. Played some LT.
-They just aren’t it. So many plays end up with them on the ground after missing a block or failing to sustain one. There was one play where Stinnie pushed the RT off his block and pushed him down and then immediately fell. He basically did what defensive coordinators pray that DTs do to split double teams and get TFLs. It was truly awful.
Rodger Saffold obviously had more good plays than bad, but like last week his one bad snap led to a big mistake. That can’t happen to a veteran who knows this system, it has to get better now.
The other three just aren’t NFL caliber starters, and I don’t mean average starters I mean they don’t hit the low-end for starters in the NFL. The Titans need to make a trade of somehow figure out how to get Nate Davis healthy today.
