click link for 2nd team listing, don't feel like typing that out.

Can't say I disagree with most of it....Though they should have put Reggie Bush on there at RB instead of McFadden and Ted Ginn Jr. on there at Return specialist. Maybe LT as first team RB too.

James Laurinaitis? Seriously? Also, wasnt Pollack a DE? If so, that makes three DEs on that list.

I dislike OL instead of OT and OG as well as DL instead of DE and DT and DB instead of CB and S. And yeah, Reggie Bush should be there.

Your own kind over at Don'tsayanythingbadaboutthebuckeyeseverevereverPla net disagrees with this one. Laurinaitis didn't deserve those awards, and you and I both know it. A.J Hawk and Mike Nugent, OTOH, certainly deserve their spots on this team.

James Laurenitis.. Out of all the LBs to play this decade?

hey, I would probably put Derrick Johnson or a couple other guys on there and put JL on second team, but JL certainly has the hardware and college career to get on the all decade team.

Well, shark isn't nearly as good/productive as Crabtree or Fitzgerald, rocket isn't this decade, and Fasano isn't even close to the top TE of the decade. Hell, I don't think Fasano was ever even top TE for any year he played.

Yay for Greg Eslinger!! Well desrved too. Best Gopher since...I dunno probably Carl Eller and Bobby Bell in the 60's.

Horrible, 3 safeties and 3 DE's? AJ Hawk is the only LB I'd keep on there. 4 OT's for the O-lineman? Winslow is a talent but his college production wasn't that great, Ben Troupe was a better college player. Bush should definitely be a RB over Peterson whose last two years were injury plagued, still great but Bush won the Heisman. Leinart still deserves it above Tebow, he won 2 NC's and played in 3. Tebow has won 1.

I actually think the did a pretty good job. But the fact that they didn't distinguish between DB's, OLine and D-Line messed it up a bit.

If this list is supposed to be based on how impressive a player's overall career was, rather than their peak ability, I guess it's alright, but if we were actually making a team based off peak abiity, I would change it.

1) Sub Vince in for Tebow.

2) The OL listings are lame, they just put a bunch of left tackles + Greg Eslinger. I would go Joe Thomas, Jake Long, Greg Eslinger, maybe Davin Joseph and Logan Mankins.

3) Same with the DL and three defensive ends... how about Glenn Dorsey, and Haloti Ngata or Tommie Harris as the other defensive tackle?

4) Derrick Johnson, AJ Hawk, and Teddy Lehman for linebackers.

5) Need one more CB to go along with Ed Reed, Sean Taylor, and Terence Newman.

1) NO, Tebow is one of the greatest college QBs. He has the hardware and is going for more this season. Vince Young was a great player but I just don't see him beating Tebow out for this one.

2) Logan Mankins definitely deserves some mention so you're good.

3) I would have Tommie Harris and Glenn Dorsey on the interior of the D-Line.

4) You're right on this one. There's a good group of LBs I would put before JL.

5) Carlos Rogers wasn't too shabby in his hay day.

Greg Eslinger, that is just awesome he is on the list, too bad he never turned out for the Broncos, which was kind of a surprise considering the offense they run.

Hard to argue most of these, but yeah James on here is kind of a question mark, but if you take his entire body of work it is not, only as a senior he play really dropped.
