Titans rebuilding front wall for Mariota - Lyndy's Sports Annuals
The Titans offensive line, a concern for a few seasons, has not been up to par since it was anchored by the likes of Kevin Mawae, Michael Roos and David Stewart, who helped Chris Johnson run for more than 2,000 yards in the 2009 season. But that was then, and this is now a problem the Titans have to get fixed sooner rather than later as the regular season is less than three weeks away. After the first preseason game, a loss to the Atlanta Falcons, the Titans made two bold moves in hopes of improving the line. Replacing him after the first preseason game this year was Byron Bell, formerly the right tackle who spent time as a maligned left tackle in Carolina last season. “You know it’s funny, just like last week when I talked about practice, there were some good things, some bad things,” head coach Ken Whisenhunt said following Sunday night’s win over the Rams. “I don’t think the line played as badly as you guys made it out to be last week and I don’t certainly think that we played maybe as good as we might think they did last night, but they were physical. When you play a defense like the Rams, one that will give you pressure, that move the front, that penetrate, you’re going to have some fits that aren’t great and we had that last night.
