Yes.
The left side allowed sacks repeatedly in 2 seconds or less.
That said, if Nashville can give him protection, he looks like a big time NFL talent.

He went into the pros used to that.
They need to be using shotgun and stop putting him under center so much.
It would help if he wouldn't try to take on linebackers and D-linemen like he did in college. When I watched him vs Miami I saw him try to bulldoze a linebacker. That crap don't fly in the pros, just as Tim Tebow.
Many of the pressures and sacks, he was in shotgun. Tacklers we’re hitting Henry three yards behind the LOS immediately after the handoff.
And it wasn’t just blitzes; D-linemen were coming clean so quick it looked like they’d been forgotten. Instead, they’d whipped the O-lineman that quickly.
The left guard and tackle are rookies too.
Rough for any team to have a rookie left side and QB. The LT was one of the first if not the first OL taken last draft, so he's obviously got some upside.
The guard was late round pick, but obviously impressed enough to win the gig.
They'll be positioned in the first round where the best QBs and DEs are gone and probably best WR too, but the best OL should still be available. So, I would think they probably look to grab a guard or tackle. Unless they're thinking skill position to give will a weapon.

The last part of that game was really hard to watch. Levis was getting zero time in passing situaiton. I think he was sacked something like 7 times in the game. That last one seem to do some damage, I hope he is OK, but man the Titans really need to address their line situation.
Unless MHJr falls for some crazy reason then there is ZERO excuse for not taking the best OT.
Or Tim Couch. The Browns line was the cause of Couch having a shortened career as he took a beating because they couldn't protect him.
No amount of toughness can shield you from the wear and tear caused by NFL defenders.
I always loved his fearlessness but he’s in a meat grinder now. He probably needs to adjust accordingly.
Not a lot he can do when DLinemen/LBs are getting to him in the shotgun barely after the ball is hiked to him.
Will is a competitor and wants to win but since they have been eliminated from the playoffs he just needs to take care of himself because these last few games are meaningless. He stands in the pocket with pressure all around him. He just needs to chuck away at any indication of pressure now, or he isn’t going to make it.
Imagine Couch's career had he been selected by the Vikings instead of Daunte Cullpepper. Randy Moss? Chris Carter?
Couch would be in the Hall of Fame in my opinion.
The Titans LG was the 11th player selected in first round. Duncan the LT was a 6th round pick.
Skironski was a LT at Northwestern but the Titans drafted him to be a LG. Not too many teams are lining up an all rookie left side especially with the LT being a 6th round pick. Duncan has a lot of upside but he was drafted to be a project and take 2 yrs to develop. Skironski was slated to start from day one.
They need 4 new offensive linemen in Free agent or thru the draft. They are just absolutely terrible.
And he is one of the most dominant backs in modern football.
It’s hard to get much YAC when the contact is a guy wrapped around your ankles three yards behind the LOS.
After rolling out of a negative 8 yard loss with another case of instant pressure.
Craziest thing was Ramsey had the absolute WORST tackling form I’ve seen from a pro. The exact form you try to keep peewee footballers from using. His eyes weren’t just facing down at 90 degrees. They were facing inbetween his legs backwards at 120. He’s lucky he didn’t have contact on the back of the helmet. Not sure if that’s the norm for Ramsey but it was atrocious.
