The end might not be in sight for the bulk of the Tennessee Titans’ offensive line. But it is not that far off.
Even so, don’t expect anyone involved with that unit to look back. At least not anytime soon.
“From our standpoint, it’s trying to ignore what we did in the past and rebuild or start over,” offensive line coach Keith Carter said last month. “You know, you don’t want to forget the lessons you’ve learned. The goal is to remember the lessons we’ve learned over the past several years so we can use those to not make same mistakes and carry with us a little bit of that confidence that we’ve had in the past.”

Continuity gives the Tennessee Titans a needed advantage with their offensive line.
However, Rodger Saffold doesn’t want that unit to lean too heavily on that advantage. Instead, he aspires for everyone on that unit to act as if they’re starting from scratch, emphasize the basics and small details that can make the group a special one come the fall.
“We don’t want to use our chemistry and our success as a crutch,” Saffold said last week during the Titans’ mandatory minicamp. “What we are trying to do is continuing to focus on the fundamental and the little details. [We] are trying to make those better so that we, together, can be a great unit.”
