The Tennessee Titans finished a disappointing 3-14 campaign where nothing seemed to go right. Now, entering the offseason, they have many questions to answer, more so now that they have fired general manager Ran Carthon.
There is no doubt that the team was flawed, and the roster lacked depth and talent at many positions. Yet, there were still some bright spots sprinkled in among the dismal performances. Even some of the bright spots came from one of their worst units: special teams.
While kicker Nick Folk was tremendous, looking to be a player that found the fountain of youth, punter Ryan Stonehouse accomplished something that had never been done before.

Stonehouse had a tremendous season in his return from injury, even if the coverage and protection units were continually subpar. He averaged 50.6 yards per punt on 73 punts while placing 22 inside the 20 and was one of the most consistent players on the roster.
He is a restricted free agent this offseason and a player that the Titans definitely should retain once a new general manager is found.
