    Alot of complaining about o linemen. Mariota was sacked zero times. They may not be pro bowlers but if the can protect Mariota they are improving. Sure he is mobile and that helps. I saw a stat somewhere that he was blitzed 7 times and completed all 7 passes for over 120 yards, so keep that up.

    True...but much of why they didn't give up sacks is due to Mariota's quick release and decision making......Just look at Mett.....There is your answer. Same guys on the front line.

    I really hate it too, I rather go the FA route as well. Just hope Webster (or whoever it will be) isn't trigger shy after the Levitre signing.

    The OL has been atrocious this season. Just because the OL finally stepped up and New Orleans barely blitzed doesn't mean our issues have magically been solved. If the unit puts together a nice run then we may be on to something.

    Problem is, there's not a ton of legit free agent offensive linemen this year: 2016 NFL Free Agents List | NFL Trade Rumors - NFL Rumors

    True, but that run has to start somewhere. I have been really negative on this team so I'm willing to give some credit when they do good. Zero sacks and only 2 hits is a good start.

    still bothers me that we did not sign wisniewski at center in the off season we had the cap space and it was crystal clear we needed a center and the guy is 26

    Just posted in the "Mariota is clutch" thread a couple highlighted plays from yesterday (should be on page 7 of the thread).
    Mariota is "clutch" | Page 7 | goTitans | a Tennessee Titans Fan Forum

    Basically, Looney had his first start at LG yesterday and already the Titans were utilizing a "tap to snap" signal on the road in clutch situations with a rookie center who has hasn't even been starting for a month.

    Honestly, was floored by how well the OL pass protected yesterday as the game progressed.

    Helps that saint defense sucks they did just give up 6 td's to eli manning. Lets see how they block against the panthers who bring it unlike the aints. Still not sure Poutasi is a bad player, but whiz put him in terrible situations like one on one with JJ Watt.

    Also makes a difference when you have a qb capable of regularly getting rid of the ball quickly.
