Good list. As w/ any "all-time" lists, deserving players are omitted. How about Andy Hamilton, Ken Kavanaugh (WR), Brad Boyd (TE), Juan Betanzos (PK), Ray Coates (P), Henry Thomas, AJ Duhe (DL), YA Tittle (QB), Dalton Hilliard, Terry Robiskie, Steve Van Buren, Doc Fenton (RB), Eric Hill, Rydell Melancon, Toby Caston (LB)?
Good list but I gotta put Eric Andolsek on the 1st team and Dalton Hilliard belongs in there somewhere.
What about Travis Daniels? He argueably had as good as a year as C Webb during there National Championship run.
All great names. Trust me, most of those crossed my mind. I just limited my selections to: 1. All-Americans get top consideration 2. Multiple All-SEC selection picks got the nod over those without I agree, wholeheartedly, that the above players, at the least, be considered "Honorable Mention" (on my list anyways).
We've done this before and most of the young guys pick players they have seen in the last five years. That is understandable, but an all-time team must include the stars of yesteryear, many of who were all-americans and hall-of-famers. Rohan, Toefield, and Domanick Davis were studs, but they just can't match the accomplishments of the men on this list. Red's all-time team, 3 deep: QB -- Y.A. Tittle, Bert Jones, Tommy Hodson RB -- Charles Alexander, Jimmy Taylor, Kevin Faulk RB -- Billy Cannon, Dalton Hilliard, Steve Van Buren WR -- Josh Reed, Wendell Davis, Michael Clayton WR -- Ken Kavanaugh, Eric Martin, Andy Hamilton OT -- Robert Dugas, Louis Williams, Ralph Norwood OG -- Eric Andolsek, Tyler Lafauci, Mike Demarie C -- Kevin Mawae, Nacho Albergamo, Moonie Winston OG -- Alan Faneca, Bo Strange, Remi Prudhomme OT -- Lance Smith, George Rice, Chuck Wiley TE -- Gaynell Tinsley, David Lafleur, Brian Kinchen DE -- A.J. Duhe, Karl Wilson, Billy Truax DT -- Leonard Marshall, Chad Lavalais, Ramsey Dardar DT -- Anthony McFarland, Henry Thomas, Ronnie Estay DE -- Dan Alexander, Ken Bordelon, Gabe Northern OLB -- Michael Brooks, Lyman White, Eric Hill ILB -- Mike Anderson, Warren Capone, Toby Caston OLB -- Brady James, Lew Sibley, Albert Richardson CB -- Tommy Casanova, Willie Teal, Greg Jackson SS -- Jerry Stovall, James Britt, Liffort Hobley FS -- Mike Williams, Eugene Daniel, Jeffrey Dale CB -- Clinton Burell, Chris Williams, Marcus Quinn K -- David Browndyke, Juan Betanzos, John Corbello P -- Chad Kessler, Tommy Davis, Matt DeFrank
