Tennessee Titans bench weakening OT

The Tennessee Titans are on track to lose their third straight game to start the season, so they want to make some changes.

While Will Levis is still in action as quarterback for the time being, the Titans are trying something new at right tackle and replacing Nicholas Petit-Frere with Jaelyn Duncan in the fourth quarter against the Green Bay Packers.

The substitution came after Petit-Frere allowed a sack and forced a fumble on Packers pass rusher Kingsley Enagbare.

Here’s a look at the piece:

Petit-Frere looked very lost on the play that resulted in another turnover by the Titans. It is the second turnover of the game and the seventh of the season for the Titans in just three games.

This isn’t the first time Petit-Frere has struggled this season. Petit-Frere allowed nine pressures in the Titans’ Week 2 loss to the New York Jets, and he didn’t fare much better in Week 3.

On the Titans’ first possession after the substitution, Levis was sacked again, proving that the Titans simply cannot protect their quarterback against the brutal Packers seven.

It remains to be seen if this change is temporary or permanent, but the Titans are showing they are not happy with their offensive line position. Maybe Duncan will get a fair shot just to see if they have something better than what they had with Petit-Frere through the first three weeks of the season.

More will be explained in the postgame talk and next week, and it may seem that coach Brian Callahan is becoming increasingly impatient with the offensive inefficiency. This could lead to more changes in the future just to see if someone on the team can make a positive impact or if the Titans just don’t have the right people in the building.
