Callahan to Petit-Frere, ‘This is not what NFL tackles do’

September 20, 2024 by Titans Wire

It’s not a secret that the Tennessee Titans offensive line has struggled in 2024. Not only have they been inconsistent in the run game, QB Will Levis has been under pressure on a large portion of his throws. 

This was called out by head coach Brian Callahan in his weekly press conference, pointing out that the right side of the offensive line must be better. 

While the unit as a whole is rather inexperienced, offensive line coach Bill Callahan does have some pedigree to work with. One player who has been under fire is right tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere, who reportedly got called-out by his coach in meetings this week.

“I got critiqued,” Petit-Frere said, “This is not the standard, this is not the level we play at, this is not what NFL tackles do.”

This is not the first time this week that Petit-Frere has taken some heat. After being announced as a Fantasy Football Expert by Fantasy Life, fans’ reactions were all over the map. A move that came on a terrible performance against the Jets, where he gave up nine pressures on Levis. 

While Petit-Frere is not the only culprit in the Titans’ offensive line woes, he has played a large part. If the Titans want to get into the win column this week, the line, especially Petit-Frere, must play better. 

Everyone will find out Sunday if these harsh words from Callahan made an impact when the Titans take on the Green Bay Packers at Nissan Stadium.
