I hope all of you had an enjoyable Fourth of July and will continue to enjoy the weekend. Please make it a safe one.
Shifting gears to football, which is why we’re here, three strong safeties deserve your consideration as we continue the voting on our all-time Tennessee team.
Blaine Bishop (1997-2000) — A ten-year NFL veteran, Bishop played for the franchise nine years and earned four Pro Bowl selections, two in Tennessee. He was the “Fire” in the Titans’ “Fire and Ice” safety tandem of Bishop and Marcus Robertson. Bishop was a fierce player, very emotional, a very hard hitter and intimidator.
Tank Williams (2002-2005) — Tank was a promising young player whose career was sidetracked by an ACL injury. He had the tools to play but never lived up to expectations. My favorite Tank Williams memory is the hit he laid on Peyton Manning, resulting in a Keith Bulluck fumble recovery and touchdown
Chris Hope (2006-present) — The addition of Hope helped solidify the secondary, which was horrendous for a few years. He had 121 tackles and five interceptions, one for a TD, in 2006. Hope’s 2007 season was cut short by a neck injury and it remains to be seen if he’ll be the same player he once was.
Sounds like another no-brainer to me, I’ve got to vote for Bishop.
In our last poll, Samari Rolle was selected as the right corner on our all-time Tennessee team.
