If you had to have an all time starting lineup, who would be your starters? Bored in the off season so lets pass the time by!

I only remember as far back as 2004 Tech football so I won't even try.
 
can you guys please include charlie rogers as a 3rd down / hands team running back?

that guy was so clutch, what a gamer
 
If it were in the Flexbone, I'd want Lil' Joe at QB and CJ and Bay-Bay out at WR.
 
What type of offense and defense? I'll assume pro-style
QB-Lil Joe
FB-Ed Wilder
WR-Calvin
DE-Greg Gathers. Dude only played 3 years and had 24 sacks in 26 games. If he didn't get ill, he would have obliterated the sack record his senior year.
S-Big Play Willie Clay

Those are the one's I'm sure of. Also it's tough to pick, because you have guys like Randy Rhino who was a 3 time AA while at Tech, but I doubt he could get it once in today's age. Different eras are hard to compare.
 
Since I've been following (late 90's)

QB - Hamilton
RB - Choice
FB - M Cox
TE - Heller
WR - Johnson
WR - Thomas
OL - Gardner
OL - Dorsey
OL - Brown
OL - Wrotto
OL - Page

DE - Morgan
DE - Gathers
DT - Walker
DT - Anoai
LB - Smith
LB - Fox
LB - Brooking
CB - Scott
CB - Hester
FS - Burnett
SS - Landry

K - Manget
P - Brooks
Specialist - Rogers
LS - Economos

2nd Team

QB - Godsey
RB - Dwyer
FB - Allen
TE - Matthews
WR - Campbell
WR - White
OL - Bedford
OL - Howard
OL - Tuminello
OL - Rhodes
OL - Tidwell-Neal

DE - Henderson
DE - Johnson
DT - Richard
DT - Wrotto
LB - Wheeler
LB - Reis
LB - Hall
CB - Butler
CB - Word-Daniels
FS - Butler
SS - Lewis

Looking back on Mansfield Wrotto's bio he was a damn impressive player. Maybe the most under rated jacket of the last 10 years.

Pretty good list, but I would bump Reis for Wilkinson. He was my favorite player on defense in the mid-2000's.

Yea your probably right. I didn't even think about Gerris, just goes to show you how good our LBs have been. I didn't even include Gary Guyton either.

It would probaby make sense to drop Reis to 2nd team SS and have Wilkinson 2nd team LB.
 
Rodney Williams was an awesome punter too.

Dez white? Campbell? PJ Daniels?
 
I mean for some reason I want the Young lefty as my second string QB

Reis was much more of an impact player as an LB, he the best blitzing linebacker I have ever seen play for Tech.
 
My Take (more of a roster approach for a few of the positions where there are a bunch of players I like or where nobody really sticks out to me). I'm also trying not to include guys from the 50s/60s and earlier (aside from the fact they wouldn't be that good anymore, I never saw them play live).

QB - Hamilton, Godsey, Jones
RB - Eddie Lee Ivory, Jerry Mays, Dorsey Levens (this is a tough one bc of the great backs we've had as of late).
FB - M Cox
TE - Ken Wisenhunt (just for name value), otherwise Foschi or Heller.
WR - Johnson, Thomas, Dez White, Kelly Campbell
T - Chris Brown, John Davis (always loved Mike Mooney though and you could slot Davis to G), Nat Dorsey
C - Craig Page, Michael Cheever
G - Kent Hill, Dave Lutz, Scott Beavers, Russell Freeman


DE - Derrick Morgan, Pat Swilling
DT - Rock Perdoni, Coleman Rudolph
LB - Marco Coleman, Lucius Sanford, Keith Brooking, Nick Rogers (rip), Daryl Smith
S - Randy Rhino, Morgan Burnett, Ken Swilling, Nick Ferguson, Landry
CB - Willie Big Play Clay, Lee Flowers (they could also go as a safety but we don't have much at CB), Jason Bostic

K - Sisson
P - Brooks
 
OK one time, guys, all aboard

CHARLIE ROGERS PR/KR
