Creating the All-Pat Dye team presented problems. What problems? Tough choices at a number of positions, especially defensive line and linebacker. Somehow, Craig Ogletree, Dowe Aughtman, Benji Rowland and Gerald Williams failed to make my team. Those guys were too good not to make the cut. Que sera.
I chose to use three running backs and just two receivers for this team. Why? I felt there was an awful steep talent drop after the first two WRs, so why name a third for the sake of having one? If it did have a third, it would have been Freddy Weygand or Greg Taylor. Brent Fullwood missed making the cut at RB by a hair.
Here's the team:
QB: Reggie Slack
Running backs: Bo Jackson, Lionel James, Tommie Agee
Receivers: Alexander Wright, Lawyer Tillman
Tight end: Walter Reeves
Offensive line: Steve Wallace, Ben Tamburello, Ed King, Stacy Searels, David Jordan
Defensive line: Doug Smith, Gerald Robinson, Tracy Rocker, Donnie Humphrey
Linebackers: Gregg Carr, Aundray Bruce, Kurt Crain, Quentin Riggins
Defensive backs: Corey Barlow, Tom Powell, Kevin Porter, Bob Harris
Punter: Lewis Colbert
Kicker: Win Lyle
I'm driving to Florida tomorrow, so I'll release my All-Terry Bowden and All-Tommy Tuberville teams Thursday or Friday. Off the top of my head, I'd say Bowden's top players were Dameyune Craig and Takeo Spikes. Tubby's top dogs were Cadillac and Carlos Rogers. Will there be room for Ronnie Brown in a crowded backfield?
