The Tennessee Titans’ offensive line had another day at the office in Week 17, with the group upfront performing terribly in run-blocking and pass protection yet again.
After getting starting quarterback Will Levis hurt via a sack in the second quarter, veteran backup Ryan Tannehill was taken down five more times during the contest.
When asked if there were some plays in which he didn’t have a chance, Tannehill wasn’t shy to speak the truth.
“Yeah, definitely,” he answered, before comparing himself to John Wick at the end of the movie.
And based on the numbers, Tannehill would be right. Of the six sacks the Titans’ offensive line surrendered in the game, five of them were among the 20 fastest sacks given up in the entire league in Week 17.
Pass-pro numbers for #Titans' main LTs, per @PFF:
-Dillard's 12 sacks allowed are T-1st among tackles. On avg., has given up a sack once every 25 pass-block snaps.
-Duncan's 9 sacks allowed are T-4th among tackles. On avg., has given up a sack once every 23 pass-block snaps.— John Glennon (@glennonsports) January 1, 2024
For whatever reason, Tennessee decided to start Andre Dillard again, and that led to the team benching the failed free-agent acquisition again.
But Jaelyn Duncan didn’t do any better. In fact, the rookie posted a Pro Football Focus grade in the single digits when it came to his pass protection.
Single. Digits.
Here’s a look at the pass protection stats from Dillard, Duncan and the rest of the offensive line following the loss to the Texans. All stats and grades come from Pro Football Focus.
