Zach may have a chance to make it in 2 decades.
What's even more crazy is he has a chance to make 1st team (not 2nd) for both of those decades

That's something not even Larry Allen could do, sometimes people sleep on Martin (he's a generational talent).

Zack Martin is a lock for the HOF. Tyron likely.
As it stands now you have it flipped. First team all decade for a LT makes you a lock. Guards are 10x harder to get Canton enshrinement, Martin needs another 2 solid years

Yea, he's not a superhuman(Larry) but he is a generational guard/talent.
Flawless offensive lineman.

Ware was on the 2000s team.

Witten was snubbed from it because of Tony Gonzalez and Antonio Gates. Can't say I disagree. Witten's play couldn't trump Gronk or Kelce this past decade either.
Yeah I don't know why I was looking at DE for the 2000's and didn't see Ware. They got him in as LB so he's there. My mistake.

Gates and Witten are close but I think he got Witten on touchdowns....can't be upset about that. Gates and Gonzales two of the best of all time.

Glad Gore got voted in. People are still gonna scream "he's just a stat padder" when he gets enshired

Joe Staley got the last tackle spot by a thin margin, if Trent Williams hadn't held out last season he would of gotten that last spot (holdout caused Trent Williams an all-decade spot)

Yep. LT is more valued than Guard. Tyron right now is the shoe-in.

I'm not saying Witten should be the choice, but the decision is a very close one. Over this time frame Witten has 692 receptions, 7012 yards and 45 TDs. Over the same time period Kelce has 507 receptions, 6465 yards and 37 TDs. Obviously, Kelce didn't join the league until 2013.

Brady, Bellicheck, and Julius Peppers are the only 2000 all decade team members to make the 2010 list as well.

Zack Martin and Aaron Donald are probably the 2 favorites of the 2010 team to also make the 2020 team

They are both HOFers. Tyron because he is an elite LT. Even though Martin is an OG he has made six pro bowls and six all pro teams. How many players made 6 all pro teams and not made HOF?

Interior o-line is the hardest position to get HOF.

Alan Faneca is 1st team all-decade, 9x pro bowler and has been on the all pro team 8x.

This season is going to be the 6th year of him being eligble....... (that's insane, any other position he'd be a 1st ballot)

All decade team at LT is basically a lock for Canton

Martin is really close (interior o-line is the hardest position to get in Canton). 2 more elite years and I think he's in
Lol...Drew Peason says hello. Wasn't there another Cowboy not in the HOF with an all decades title?

Anyhow, congrats to Tyron and Zach!

Witten's lack of tds will always hurt him when comparing him to Gonzalez and Gates. Witten just never got alot TDs for Whatever reason.
You are right. Also hurt him and Gates came at the same time. Had he came in 2000 or 2001 he might’ve had a better argument.

They were pretty lazy on the running backs as they literally just did the top four rushers for the decade. I am really not feeling Gore. I would love to see the criteria they used because it sure looks to my eyes that five seasons of say even Gurley were better than a decade of Gore running into the line.
