At the heart of the Titans' offensive problems amid their 1-2 start? A revamped offensive line that hasn't met expectations.
The Titans have given up 13 sacks so far this season, tied for second-worst in the league. That includes five in each of the past two games. Only one team has a worse adjusted sack rate than Tennessee's 13.5%, according to FTN Data. The Titans are allowing a 38.%% pressure rate per dropback, 22nd in the league, according to Next Gen Stats.is averaging just 3.2 yards per carry, on pace for the worst of his career.
"Making sure we understand who we're working with," offensive coordinator Tim Kelly said Thursday."Making sure we understand the different checks, plays, looks that may be triggering based upon what we're seeing. And then understanding when we have help. There are going to be times when we have to go out there and win one-on-one matchups and understand when that is going to happen and what techniques we need to use to make that happen.
Titans coaches say it hasn't been all bad with Dillard. Coach Mike Vrabel acknowledged Wednesday that there will be times Sunday where Dillard will be lined up one-on-one with the Bengals' Trey Hendrickson, a Pro Bowl pass rusher each of the last two seasons. The Titans could also help out the offensive line by staying on schedule. They're tied for 22nd in the league with 21 accepted penalties on offense, according to Pro Football Reference. Seven of the 10 sacks they've allowed in the last two games have come on second- and third-and-long.Kelly acknowledged that he can call better plays on first down to avoid those situations.
