LG Rodger Saffold
Will Saffold get off to a better start?
The entire left side of the Titans’ line was a mess for most of the first half of the 2019 season. Saffold was getting beaten regularly, and it was clear he and Lewan simply weren’t in sync.
Saffold and Lewan recently admitted as much, but the good news is that both began to find their stride near the middle of the season and it resulted in better chemistry and play overall.
Now that he’s got a full year under his belt in the Titans’ offense and playing next to Lewan, Saffold believes his play and communication with his line mates will be better in Year 2.

Will Jones continue his elite play?
While everything went to hell around him, Jones remained one of the few constants on the Titans at the beginning of last year. That isn’t easy to do when the rest of the offensive line is crumbling around you.
And Jones didn’t let up, either. As the Titans’ offensive line rounded into form, the center continued his top-notch play, and ultimately finished as one of the best players at his position in 2019, per Pro Football Focus.
A lot of people questioned why the Titans would prioritize Jones’ extension prior to last season before some others, but it’s clear general manager Jon Robinson made the right move to lock Jones up through 2021.
