dkennedy0422 Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Taylor Lewan has truly taken a step foward in his play. Second week in a row he has been on the Pro Football Focus best of the week list and has graded out as the best tackle in football after four weeks.

freakingeek Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Yep. Take away the stupid diving penalty he's been one of our most consistent players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
titansfb Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Our rb's and tight ends are staying in to help him block. Jk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkster Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Yeah if he could cut out the 4th quarter penalties, that be great Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Former_Fan Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Stupid penalties, yes, but at least he plays pissed off and is a competitor. I personally like his aggression. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have made too big a deal about that around here, really riding him hard over it. Yet, Ben Jones did the same exact thing, and had that penalty against Houston, and hardly a word was said about him screwing up. If Lewan had hit the opposing player instead of his own teammates would people be yapping about it as much? I doubt it. In fact, some who are bitching would probably be praising him. Lewan is fine, was going to be fine, and in all probability will continue to be fine. LOL @ all the dimwits who thought we should've drafted Tunsil to play LT and move Lewan to RT. Jesus take the draft pick... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieTitanFan08 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 to go with Lewan being ranked top of the OT's, Conklin is ranked 4th. would be interested to see how they held up if Mularkey ever eased the max protect mindset and sent a few more players out on routes.

Are penalties a factor in PFF's outcome? Overall Im glad hes here but hes good for at least 1 bad penalty a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say it wasn't boneheaded. I'm just saying people are making too big of a deal about it. We even had a thread saying we should get rid of the guy for shits sake! I mean, in the grand (shitty) scheme of things Lewan costing us that drive, which probably cost us the game, is actually quite small. The offense as a whole has bigger fish to fry.

Titans279 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Mularkey implied that the NFL didn't think it should have been a penalty because Lewan wasn't fined for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekirts Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Should get him his extension at the end of the year. Having Lewan + Conklin together for a decade would be amazing. I think they could be better then Roos and Stewart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mularkey may just be dumb enough to think the NFL has to fine a player for an unsportsmanlike act to be a penalty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreepingDeath Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Wait. Is this the current TR stance on Lewan? I thought we wanted to ship him out. ...And were disappointed that we didn't draft a true LT to replace him. Someone had better be sure to get the memo out when we change our collective mind!

Either way pay them both whatever it takes and stay cheap with the OGs and somewhere in the middle with the C. Ben Jones looks like he can hold down the C position for the 4 years we signed him for. Not an elite C but has definitely held his own so far. I agree just stay cheap with the guards. Kline was a quality pickup and it shouldn't be too hard to keep finding decent guards who can play alright. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
