NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A high-level pass rusher and the newly minted highest-paid offensive linemen in the game made for a matchup to watch over two joint practices between the Buccaneers and the Titans.
The Bucs tweeted out a Wednesday one-on-one matchup where Jason Pierre-Paul made two moves on Taylor Lewan with great success. When I shared that on Twitter, I said Lewan would surely seek vengeance.

I thought Lewan had a mostly effective day against Pierre-Paul on Thursday, with one exception where the defenders started outside, swiped Lewan's hands away, got inside and quickly chased Marcus Mariota out of the pocket.
After practice, I sought out JPP and walked about 35 yards with him.
