but but but it wasn't roids it was a supplement that didn't disclose a key ingredient.
Didn't he miss games last season leading up to him tearing his ACL. I mean its been a year since doing it he's had plenty of time to heal. People like to bring up Conklin and say he looked bad coming back from the ACL tear, but Conklin tore his in the playoffs. The time to heal between Conklin and Lewan is huge.
Lewan said he found a new passion for football while being out. I called BS, this guy lost his drive to play plain and simple. He needs to take his ass to the door...For the boys.
Do about 30 seconds of research before writing a ridiculous post. Lewan played in 5 games last year before injuring his ACL. In 2019 he was the 11th best OT per PFF. Here is a quote going into 2020:
"Lewan has been the model of consistency throughout his six-year career. His season pass-block grades have ranged from 78.6 to 85.3, forming a career pass-block that ranks 16th among 119 qualifying tackles. This past year, in particular, he allowed one or no pressures in 75% of his regular-season games, which was the second-highest rate among tackles.... Tennessee Titans’ Taylor Lewan makes PFF’s list of top 25 OTs (usatoday.com)
Also, let me get this right. If a guy tears his ACL in week 6 and he is back on the field in week one the next year and "its been a year and a half since doing it". Really? That is embarrassing.

Tewa, that is called getting served…
He served me lol. So Soxcat goes a post stats from 2 years ago and stats from the year he got popped for PEDs ya okay. I never said Lewan was always trash because your feeble minds can't grasp what this conversation is about. Its about what Lewan has done so far this season and our cap for next season. Ok. Somebody else posted that we could free up to 23 million I believe cutting Lewan and Saffold. Lewan was out last year and up to getting hurt looked average, after he got hurt Henry went off for 2000 yards and we made the playoffs. So to me that shows, hey we did this without our "franchise left tackle", so is Lewan worth more that 23 mil of freed up cap space? We have a lot of people right now id rather keep. This is what people are arguing, my own opinion is that Lewan doesn't have the fire like before, hes distracted with his podcast, social media, and doing interviews with Rick Eisen etc.
Ya I exaggerated on Lewans recover time but as soon as I did I edited it because I knew you were gonna stumble out of The Bus wipe your chin off and start ham fisting the keyboard, "WTF WTF WTF A YEAR AND A HALF STUPID!" To you I guess its all about fanboyism, keep average mediocre players, or injury prone with bloated contracts on the team because?
Hell Michael Griffin looked good early is his career paid him twice i believe, he became a average/bad player so much he earned the nicknames Michelle/Whiffen but the Titans being a bad team bad front office we let him linger around. This is the new Titans we don't do that anymore. Todd Gurley is another example, guess the Rams should of kept him around and his bloated contract too after he stopped playing up to the contract he was given.
Plain and simple I want to team to be better and a playoff contender every year, you don't do that by keeping a player with a bloated contract around who is a average/good player who, could possibly be, injury prone. So quit gargling Lewans nut juice and think about the future of the team going forward.
Plain and simple Lewan, the year before he missed most of the year with a torn ACL, was solid and yes, he is coming back from an injury that sometimes takes more than a year to return 100% (see Conklin who is now one of the best RTs in the NFL). Your childish teary eyed diatribe literall made everyone dumber for having read it so I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.
I was just thinking as I was drinking my coffee that you were going to post that scene from Billy Madison. I'll give you the TLDR.
Lewan has regressed since 2019.
Hes an average to good player now.
Average/good players shouldn't be paid star LT $.
Cut Lewan/Saffold=23 million to cap.
Money good for Titans got players to resign soon.
I don’t like Nut juice.
How can you know he has regressed? Since 2019 he has played in 6 games! I am pretty sure he did well in the first five of 2020. So in game one, his first game back after having a torn ACL he struggles…with one of the best pass rushers in the game. Off of that data how can you draw any firm conclusions about a regression? There is no way to make such a judgment on that information.
Might he be too expensive and might it be time to move on at the end of the year? Definitely possible. But we can’t base our decision on one game after an ACL year.
Frankly, how he plays doesn't even matter.
If sambrillo is capable of paving the way for Henry (as he did last year for 2k yards) and protecting tannehill (which he did pretty well with last week) you cut bait on the expensive contract and play the cheap guy. That's just good business.
Yeah but the cheaper guys didn’t do very well week 1. Lots of small sample sizes being thrown around.
Sambralio started 5 games last year. I’d hardly say he “paved the way” for Henry. Team was 2-3 with him starting at LT.
Sure, this is something I completely agree with. But let’s let the season play out to see if those guys can consistently produce. To see if Lewan has regressed etc. Take all that info into next season and make the best decision you can.
Lewan apparently regressed while rehabbing his ACL. Out of sight and out of mind non-thinking. Basically if Lewan is anything close at some point to his pre-injury ability he is well worth keeping (his contract is actually reasonable, signed through 2023, and we would probably have to draft a 1st round LT to replace him). Saffold is the one who while a good player is easier to replace. Radunz might fit that role and or we could find a decent replacement in the middle rounds.
It is actually lunacy to say we can get rid of Lewan and Saffold at the same time since Saffold obviously helped quite a bit on that side when Lewan got hurt. So we just dismantle the entire left side of the OL?
Now obviously if Lewan can't get back to a reasonable level this year you consider moving on but you still give the guy a chance and not make knee jerk childish assessments based on one game.

Yeah as Lewan still has the effects. Over in his injury. Hope he can recover. Really has a long way to go. But has come a long way however.
welll... one game where a db bounced him on his azz & another game that TL77 was too askerd to even hit the field
Well since they have to pay Lewan his whole years salary if he plays or not are we supposed to release him now?
the raiders wanted to get rid of Harvey Williams ( an old school RB) so they converted him to TE. And he retired
convert TL77 to TE
Got two right, but Michelle’s main name was Vagician…
Lewan should go next season. We need the cap space to resign Ben Jones.
I'd trade Lewan for a 12oz coke and a bag of doritos (cool ranch or spicy nacho) and feel like I robbed someone.
Fake tough guy. I can't think of a game he hasn't went down in for at least a play. Dudes always ending up on the turf coming up lame. This has been going on well before the acl injury.
He spends more time talking trash on his podcast than he spends on the field.
Perhaps trade him for a serviceable tight end because our current TEs are a joke.
