Despite one embarrassing play, Rodger Saffold showed exactly what he can do for the Titans offense in his preseason debut

“You never get a second chance to make a first impression.”

Rodger Saffold would probably like to have his first impression with Titans fans back. After sitting out the first preseason game with several other older veterans, Rodger Saffold made his preseason debut on Saturday night at Nissan Stadium after signing a four-year, $44M contract with Tennessee in March.

On the second play from the Titans offense, Marcus Mariota dropped back to pass and was almost immediately swallowed up by Patriots rookie defensive tackle Byron Cowart. The culprit on the offensive line was none other than Saffold, who had been bowled over by Cowart on his way to the quarterback.
