Heading into the season, many football sites ranked the Titans offensive line dead last or near the bottom. Here is a snippet from a couple places prior to the season:


32. TENNESSEE TITANS (NO CHANGE)
Projected Starting Lineup
LT Andre Dillard
LG Peter Skoronski – Rookie
C Aaron Brewer – Played over 900 snaps at LG in 2022
RG Daniel Brunskill
RT Nicholas Petit-Frere

The Titans' line was a disaster in 2022, and while they overhauled it in the offseason, it isn’t enough to crawl out of the cellar of these rankings.
Andre Dillard got substantial money in free agency but has just 736 snaps of average-at-best play in the NFL after losing his job to Jordan Mailata in Philadelphia.
Best Player: Peter Skoronski
Projecting a rookie to play well from Day 1 is a stretch, but Peter Skoronski could very plausibly already be the best player on this line. He allowed just six pressures last season at left tackle and recorded an elite 93.0 PFF pass-blocking grade. Playing inside at guard should mitigate any issues he has with short arms.

32. Tennessee Titans
In 2022, Titans left tackles allowed pressure at a league-worst 9.4% rate, more than two percentage points worse than any other team. Andre Dillard and rookie Peter Skoronski will compete for that job, but we’re unlikely to see a significant upgrade for the unit.

Someone I think is really good at OL ranking, Brandon Thorn, also had Titans last but his site has a pay wall to view his articles. Anyways, this matchup might be a great one for the Browns DL to exploit. Apparently, their LG starter Skoronski is out as well as a suspended RT Petit-Frere who may be backuped by Chris Hubbard.

let's hope that OUR defense can be the one to score this week. I kinda had a feeling against the Steelers it was going to come down to a defensive score the entire 2nd half too


"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

our defense jumps off the screen. If only our offense was just average

Our dLine should have fun this Sunday, at least.


There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

I look at that and I feel like we're going to come up short in the trenches this week.


Browns is the Browns

... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.
