7.5 Tennessee Titans make ESPNs All-Decade team for AFC South
By Will Lomas
Other considerations and notes
There are a few odds and ends I wanted to mention, and if you don’t want to see me nitpick then this probably isn’t the slide for you.
-You could make an argument that the worst player on the team is Wade Smith at guard. I would say that Jake Scott might be getting slept on just a little bit here.
–Arian Foster is on this list mostly because he fit in right in between the Chris Johnson era and the DeMarco Murray/Derrick Henry era. If this is from 2008-2018 or from 2012-2022 then he probably isn’t mentioned. That is no knock on Foster, but a compliment to the dominance of the Titans backs.
–Duane Brown was great, but again you have to imagine that if this list was from 2015-2025 that Taylor Lewan would be a lock for that spot based on his current trajectory.
–Paul Posluszny made this list over Telvin Smith and Wesley Woodyard, which is almost offensive to me.
-I know that recency bias isn’t the only reason for this, but man you have to feel for Rob Bironas not getting on this list. Adam Vinatieri is a Hall of Famer, but he has also had some duds lately and Bironas just mad the misfortune of having his peak years spread over two different decades.
