Tennessee Titans left guard Rodger Saffold had a rough start to his tenure in Nashville, but he slowly rounded into form as the 2019 season progressed, as did the team’s entire offensive line.
But when he first decided to leave the Los Angeles Rams, a team that had made it to the Super Bowl the previous year, Saffold said people thought he was crazy during a Thursday Zoom call with the media.
Saffold indeed got the last laugh, as the Titans made it all the way to the AFC Championship game, while the Rams missed out on the playoffs entirely.
That result has given the 31-year-old and his teammates even more motivation.
After starting off slow in his first year with the Titans, Saffold now believes having a full year under his belt in the team’s offense will help and says the chemistry of the offensive line is much better.
One of the most important things to Saffold going into 2020 is the team starting fast, which has been a problem for the Titans in recent years.
The veteran complimented the work ethic of first-round pick, Isaiah Wilson.
Saffold has also been impressed with right guard Nate Davis, who he says has been working to improve his game.
