Did you mean to put Paul Warford down for the DB's instead of Larry?
ReplyDeleteOh wow. This is NOT one of your finer moments. I think you need to sit down and put a LOT more thought into this, as your selections are WAY too heavily weighted towards recent years.
ReplyDeleteI love Danny Trevathan and Sam Maxwell, but you are going to take these one-year starters over a 4-year starter like Braxton Kelly who made what arguably may be the biggest tackle of the decade? And, while I cannot remember his name, you are leaving off that ultra fast linebacker from early in the decade who went on to play safety with the Broncos? (Somebody help me there.) And you include a guy like Randall Burden who has never been a full-time starter and is not even guaranteed of starting this year?
This is a good idea in concept, but these choices are way, way off. I'll try to think about it and help you out later.
I cant really see Guy or Warford being on this list yet. Maybe after this season. Same with Travathan. Maxwell maybe but I would got with Kelly instead.
ReplyDeleteSome other older guys who were really good players: Dustin Williams LB , Muhammed Abdullah DB, Earven Flowers DB and a maybe Ronnie Riley was above average.
Just some thoughts.
I think the above poster is talking about Marlon McCree.
ReplyDeleteDennis Johnson should be mentioned in there somewhere as well.
ReplyDeleteA1 again -- yes -- Marlon McCree.
ReplyDeleteAs mentioned, I think Dennis Johnson belongs at DE. He finally realized his potential near the end.
ReplyDeleteDavid Johnson was a pretty fair Safety and Eric Kelly had his moments at CB, as did Antoine Huffman.
Six current players on the list, not bad, but as mentioned, some maybe not fully earned yet. But I think several players on the current roster will make the list before they leave, and both Hines and L Warford will move up.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of good players listed, but I think the 2010 and 11 commits so far will make a great showing.
