Tennessee Titans, Mike Vrabel get high praise from NFL Hall of Famers

Curt Menefee, Michael Strahan, Jimmy Johnson and Tony Gonzalez all had high praise for the Titans.

The Tennessee Titans may have come up just one game short of a Super Bowl LIV appearance last year, but this was still the best team we’ve seen in Nashville in recent history.

The efforts of names like defensive coordinator Dean Pees, up-and-coming offensive coordinator Arthur Smith and head coach Mike Vrabel, combined with the best season of quarterback Ryan Tannehill’s career and a historic year for Derrick Henry, helped get the Titans to that point.

And it has hardly gone unnoticed.

Curt Menefee, Michael Strahan, Jimmy Johnson and Tony Gonzalez all had high praise for the Titans, and there seems to be little doubt they can repeat the successes of last season in 2020.

Cautious optimism seems to be a good policy for now, given how inconsistent we’ve seen the Titans be in past years.

It’s also important to note that while the Titans have played some good, complementary football, the strength in Tennessee’s performances has largely ridden on Tannehill and Henry.

If this was simply a fluke season for Tannehill and he begins to mirror the way he looked so many times in Miami, or, if Henry sees any type of decline in production, things could quickly look much different than we’re drawing them up now.
