    Happy he retired as a Titan. I love that he came in as a Titan and went out as a Titan, that's the way it should be for all of the greats. Happy day. Enjoy your life after football. Thanks for the memories.

    Oh boy lets find out.

    In no real order I have:
    Eddie George
    Steve Mcnair
    Frank Whycheck
    Jevon Kearse
    Keith Bulluck
    Blaine Bishop
    Brad Hopkins
    Derrick Mason
    Albert Haynesworth
    Samari Rolle
    Rob Bironas


    I guess Roos falls in around Bironas? Im sure Im leaving someone worthy out...

    maybe higher since he started and finished with us, thats worth something.

    Yeah I pretty much agree with that list. Can't imagine putting him below Bironas, though.

    Bironas won us a lot of games, its hard to tell where Roos' play won us the game

    Thats a bit of a ridiculous statement. Sure, Bironas won us games immediately, but Roos protected the blind side for 10 years and played damn near every snap on offense.

    I'd go as far to say Roos was better than Hopkins, it wasn't his fault he was unfortunate enough to play in the decade he did.

    Yea but still, what one defining play did Roos set up that makes him obviously a better Titan than Bironas?

    I think in 2008 alone (last playoff team) Bironas won us 5 games with just his foot. And Im not talking just game winning kicks, he was most of our offense.

    He is an offensive linemen though. You are talking about something on a smaller scale without the highlights. Without Roos, we likely would have never been in place for Bironas to win us anything.
