NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Poor pass protection got Ken Whisenhunt fired as much as anything else. In the team's first offseason without him and former GM Ruston Webster, the Tennessee Titans made pass protection for Marcus Mariota priority one.
That meant a new scheme, Russ Grimm as the new offensive line coach, Ben Jones as the new center and Jack Conklin as the new right tackle.
The results have been good.
GM Jon Robinson said this week on Titans Radio that he worked up numbers on how much quarterbacks around the league were being pressured and knocked down.
