TitanLegend Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Defensive tackle Jurrell Casey, left tackle Taylor Lewan and punter Brett Kern have been selected as Pro Bowlers. The Titans have also been informed seven other players are alternates: special teamer Brynden Trawick, tight end Delanie Walker, safety Kevin Byard, kick returner Adoree’ Jackson, right tackle Jack Conklin, quarterback Marcus Mariota and linebacker Brian Orakpo. Casey, Kern and Lewan are deserving. Byard as well. Conklin has bounced back from a slow start and is playing really well, not sure about pro bowl though. http://www.titansonline.com/news/article-4/Three-Titans-Selected-to-Pro-Bowl-Team/cf6dc7aa-97ae-427e-8a01-4df6477dce12?utm_source=t.co&utm_medium=referral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

615finest Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Woulda thought KB would have been selected. Led in fan voting. Can’t really think of an AFC safety that has outplayed him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans0021 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Wow, Byard not getting in after leading all safeties in fan voting is pretty surprising. Given just how often quarterbacks drop out (and that one Pro Bowl QB will almost certainly be in the SB), it's going to be hilarious when Marcus makes it.

titans0021 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Man, Woodyard didn't even get one of the alternate spots. Thought his bulk stats would make him a near lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renndawg37 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Why do they only name one free safety but two strong safeties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the other 2/3s. But to be honest, Byards play has really fallen off since that two game stretch. He's missing assignments (1st Niners TD for example), and just hasn't done much most of the season. I'll get crucified... And as critical as I was of the Cup signing, he's probably been our best safety overall. Yikes!! Woodyard was definitely robbed however. He's been our best player on defense, better than even Casey this year. He's consistently been a beast for us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeluxx3 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Byard is my boy, but I agree that his play has fallen off a bit. Not showing the consistency yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSlim Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 As great as Byard's been the majority of the season, he was pretty bad on Sunday. Missed coverages and bad pursuit angles. Worst game of the season for him imo. That said, he definitely deserves to be a pro bowler this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire middle of the field was just a total disaster. Never seen so many communication issues between the linebackers and safeties. Couldn't have made life easier for Jimmy G.
