Tennessee Titans Offensive Player Grades & Takeaways From Week 4 Win Over Cincinnati Bengals
The Tennessee Titans' offense looked lifeless in Week 3 against the Cleveland Browns, but bounced back and had their best performance in a long time against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 4. No surprise the offensive player grades from Pro Football Focus were a lot higher than they were last week.
Top Five Overall Grades
RB Derrick Henry - 89.8
TE Josh Whyle - 86.9
TE Trevon Wesco - 82.5
WR DeAndre Hopkins - 78.2
RT Chris Hubbard - 75.8
Seeing Henry at the top of this list is no shock after his incredible performance. Henry ran for 122 yards and a score while throwing for a touchdown also. It was a vintage Henry performance.
The tight ends are the big story here though. Coming into the week Whyle(#105) and Wesco(#104) were the lowest-graded tight ends in the entire NFL through three weeks. The performance on the field matched the grades, but the tight ends truly were a positive factor in Week 4.
Standout Grades
LT Andre Dillard - 78.6 Pass Blocking Grade
RT Chris Hubbard - 80.6 Run Blocking Grade
C Aaron Brewer - 26.0 Pass Blocking Grade
LG Dillon Radunz - 36.7 Pass Blocking Grade
A major bounce back from Dillard, who got beat consistently by Myles Garrett in Week 3. Dillard had given up the most sacks by any offensive tackle in the NFL through three weeks, so rebounding with a zero-sacks-allowed performance was needed.
On the other side of the line, Hubbard is trying to keep his starting job as the Titans' 2022 starter Nicholas Petit-Frere returns from suspension. Hubbard might have done just that with his strong play in the first four weeks.
Brewer and Radunz struggled to hold off the rush of the Bengals' interior defensive line. Brewer is good as a run blocker, but his struggles in pass protection mostly stem from his size(290 pounds) and Brewer isn't getting any bigger.
Radunz had a nice stint filling in for Peter Skoronski, but Skoronski is set to return to the field in Week 5 and Radunz hasn't quite done enough to keep himself in the starting five.
