Heading into the season, many football sites ranked the Titans offensive line dead last or near the bottom. Here is a snippet from a couple places prior to the season:
32. TENNESSEE TITANS (NO CHANGE)
Projected Starting Lineup
LT Andre Dillard
LG Peter Skoronski – Rookie
C Aaron Brewer – Played over 900 snaps at LG in 2022
RG Daniel Brunskill
RT Nicholas Petit-Frere
The Titans' line was a disaster in 2022, and while they overhauled it in the offseason, it isn’t enough to crawl out of the cellar of these rankings.
Andre Dillard got substantial money in free agency but has just 736 snaps of average-at-best play in the NFL after losing his job to Jordan Mailata in Philadelphia.
Best Player: Peter Skoronski
Projecting a rookie to play well from Day 1 is a stretch, but Peter Skoronski could very plausibly already be the best player on this line. He allowed just six pressures last season at left tackle and recorded an elite 93.0 PFF pass-blocking grade. Playing inside at guard should mitigate any issues he has with short arms.

32. Tennessee Titans
In 2022, Titans left tackles allowed pressure at a league-worst 9.4% rate, more than two percentage points worse than any other team. Andre Dillard and rookie Peter Skoronski will compete for that job, but we’re unlikely to see a significant upgrade for the unit.

Someone I think is really good at OL ranking, Brandon Thorn, also had Titans last but his site has a pay wall to view his articles. Anyways, this matchup might be a great one for the Browns DL to exploit. Apparently, their LG starter Skoronski is out as well as a suspended RT Petit-Frere who may be backuped by Chris Hubbard.
