As the saying goes, “the grass isn’t always greener on the other side” — and that statement couldn’t be more true as of right now when it comes to the left tackle position for the Tennessee Titans.
Following the disaster that was the Week 3 showing of Andre Dillard, former Pro Bowl left tackle Taylor Lewan posted a picture of himself in a Titans uniform with no caption at all.
Buy Titans TicketsThe Michigan product’s post got me thinking about how bad Dillard has been as compared to Lewan. The results are comical, to say the least.
From 2019 through 2022, Lewan, who did miss his fair share of games due to injuries, played in a combined total of 1,860 offensive snaps, allowing just six sacks over that span, per Pro Football Focus.
Meanwhile, Dillard has given up six sacks over 175 offensive snaps through the first three games of the year, tying Lewan’s mark in 32 less games and 1,685 less snaps.
Even if you want to compare Dillard’s numbers to Dennis Daley, who started in place of an injured Lewan last season, it’s still bad. Dillard is on pace to give up 34 sacks and 91 pressures, while Daley surrendered 12 and 53, respectively, in 2022.
Something certainly has to change in the very near future, otherwise this will be another lost season in Tennessee.
