    SUMMARY: Titans G Benji Olson announced his retirement today after 10 NFL seasons, all with Tennessee. "He was such a consistent player for us for so long, a player that gave great effort and helped us achieve many great things in his time here," said Titans Head Coach Jeff Fisher. "It is rare in this time to see a player spend his entire career with one team, and Benji was one of the few. We wish him and his family well in their future endeavors." A model of reliability and exceptional play, Olson entered the lineup at right guard in his second season and made all but five starts over the next nine years, including a stretch of 85 consecutive starts from 1999-2004.

    They knew this was coming.

    Jake Scott will start at one guard spot with Harris, Amano and Loper battling for the other guard spot.

    It will be interesting to see whether they swing Scott to his natural RG spot and plug in Harris on the left.

    Thanks for ten years of great football, Benji.

    I imagine we will see Harris take over left guard and Scott will take the right guard spot. Thanks to great foresight by our staff, we have a guy in Harris who has had a year to learn the system and become more accustomed to NFL football. The staff has been really high on him thus far, and I look forward to seeing Harris step into that guard position next year.
