Did we? We had Lewan for most of those years... well, at least going INTO most of those years.
If they were good they wouldn’t be getting drummed on a constant basis. I’m not excusing the coaching staff, but you don’t come to the NFL to learn how to play football.
Bang Biscuit. Nailed it.
Boring and still subjective.
best player on the team. So basically there is no such thing as a franchise LT because no team ever builds around their LT. both of your posted definitions state that exact definition.
Edit: Im gonna hold you to this definition in the future too.
Lewan was suspended to start 2019. He played 5 games in 2020 then went out for the year with an ACL. So yes, I think we knew we needed an LT in '21, '22, and '23. Maybe not going into '20. But we have had plenty of time to address the position.
Man, if our entire offensive line didn’t suck so bad, y’all would be all over Ski. Rookie olinemen are usually pretty bad, and he’s no exception.
I think I saw him rated pretty high among rookies and I really only recall 2 notably bad games.
I’m also willing to give him a second year being that it’s a jail break all across the line regularly, so almost any 1 individual good OLman can get exposed by the crap around him.
like Titans fans will ever know
stronski only looks good cause dillard just yells 'ole!' and brewer is airborne every play
almost made it into game 2 a few seasons after the magic juice went away... almost
Stronski is having to learn how to play guard... cause he was an All American Tackle
NFC Executive reserves the right to use the term 'franchise player' in any damn way NFC Executive pleases
Something else to talk about is free agency were no LTs are avaliable and the ones that are there who are average will get super overpaid (Dillard is a good example)just because teams are desperate.
Drafting a mid level OL in the first round spells disaster with this coaching Staff who most likely move whoever it is to RG.
That's why the higher the pick the better.We need someone who is above average which will force the coaches to play him at LT.

Who doesn’t have the tools to be a LT in the NFL. Per the scouts. Read a little dude. It’s not hard once you learn.
It’s not subjective or boring. I even post OTHER PEOPLES use or definition of the term.
The term is used all the time to define a player who occupies a position for years to come.
Lewan was a franchise LT
Henry was a franchise RB
Etc etc.
Some of you are just impossible to communicate with. I would be shocked if you can maintain a relationship. It’s the same freaking 4 or 5 posters.
You just have the insatiable need to be right. Ok…. You win. There is no such thing as a Franchise anything. ( even though the fucking NFL even has a FRANCHISE TAG)
It baffles me that NFL Scouts and GMs don't consult with fans on message boards more
So a team with one of the league's worst lines, knowing that they desperately needed a left tackle, used a.top pick on a guy that they knew couldn't play left tackle. Thus failing to address the position for multiple years resulting in the weekly sh** show we are currently watching. Got it.
Because they think short arms can't be good LTs, despite numerous short armed LTs having long successful careers, including Slater, who Skoronski took over for at Northwestern.
It's almost like the Titans made a sweeping judgement on him and didn't give him a chance to prove he could handle the position before moving him to a brand new position.
