Honestly, I was struggling with this one. I couldn't pick Morse due to the injuries. Hudson seems like the obvious choice and I probably should have voted for him on merit, but ... he went to the Raiders. It's tough for me to vote a guy to the all-decade team when he voluntarily went to the Raiders.
And Wiegman probably should have gotten my vote, but he was a victim of recency bias.
Reiter doesn't have a lot of games, but he's not too far behind Wiegman and only a couple of seasons behind the leaders. He was a rock on a line this year that had a lot of injuries, and he shows good in-play awareness. He made key blocks on a few critical plays this year, pushing someone (Darrel) across the goal line on a touchdown and wiping out a tackler on a screen to Darrel earlier in the year.
Truth be told, I probably should have voted for Hudson or Wiegman, but Reiter just looks so good wearing that ring.
