How are we leaving Al Wilson out of this LB corps?

 

[DonDiego]

We could win with this team plus Big Al.

 

[hbvol1982]

For Discussion:
Mike Lucci, LB Detroit Lions. Pro Bowl 1971. All-time Detroit Lions Team.
Al Wilson, LB Denver Broncos. 5-time All-Pro
Bert Rechichar, DB/K Multiple Teams - 3-Time All-Pro

Obviously an oversight. Spiva and Puki were both damn good in the NFL

Paul Naumoff could have made the team too.

Beattie Feathers was the first NFL back to rush for 1,000 yards in a season. That was a much more difficult task than. Gale Sayers said that when he did it there had been 14 in history who had done it. He said that after the NFL moved the hash marks to the middle of the field that many did it every year. Of course, those guys didn’t play 16-game seasons either.

Andy Spiva played one year in the NFL. 13 games. That's it. Must be confusing him with Steve Kiner or someone else.

No. Not confusing him with Kiner. I just forgot he died that early into his career. Kiner's last season at UT was 1969.

 

[Godfatha]

I'd probably add Tim Irwin, Harry Galbreath, Tim McGee, Leonard Little, Alvin Harper, and Mike Cofer to the conversation.

 

[YankeeVol]

What team has 3 starting RBs

 

[jaybird_1981]

I think I would have John Henderson over Darwin Walker.

 

[macrovol]

Center: Bob Johnson
RG: Bob Suffridge

 

[UTFanForLife]

Ramon Foster had a good career at RG/LG for the Steelers.

 

[AlsaceFreak]

Does anyone know how Charlie Garner is doing these days? I know he had mentioned possible CTE symptoms a few years back in an interview.

 

[Rushin Orange Collusion]

Paul Naumoff could have made the team too.

Jack Stroud, Tom Tracy, John Gordy, John Henderson were good as well!

 

[Jax_Vol]

Yeah, big John Henderson would like to toss someone around.

But perhaps he wasn't All-Pro? Lots of knee problems.

FB Shawn Bryson

No WR Peerless Price?

Edit: NM… didn’t see the NFL part

Bob Johnson, Bob Suffridge belong in the OL. Al Wilson and Alvin Harper and John Henderson.

I'd probably add Tim Irwin, Harry Galbreath, Tim McGee, Leonard Little, Alvin Harper, and Mike Cofer to the conversation.

I thought about reserves at each position, but was cooking breakfast while posting this. Cosey Coleman, Ramon Foster and others on the OL were considered in my mind while typing. Stop Cover was considered too. It was difficult between McGee and Pickens. Funny that I had a short conversation with Boomer Esiason a few weeks ago about McGee

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Bob Johnson, Bob Suffridge belong in the OL. Al Wilson and Alvin Harper and John Henderson.

Harper was considered but didn't get the laurels the others had as a pro. Henderson got hurt pretty early in his career. Wilson was just a flat out FU oversight. Naumoff probably should be on there as well.

 

[AllMidSouth65]

Ed Cifers End with Bears and Redskins. Pre war early 40s and post war mid to late 40s. Won an nfl championship.

I’ve heard Cifers and Bud Hubbell both say Suffredge was the best foot ball player they ever saw. If WWII had not occurred and interrupted or ended careers a number of other Neyland players would be on this list IMO.

Andy Spiva still holds the all-time tackle record and by a large margin. I knew him and his mother , Betty, really well. He had a
All Pro written all over him until he died in an automobile accident his rookie year with the Falcons. What a huge loss to the community and the sport.

See, I thought I remembered it being his third year. Yeah, he was a badass. So was Paul Naumoff

I was living in Atlanta at the time and went to Spiva's funeral. There was a huge number of Atlanta Big Orange Club members in Atlanta nd I believe all of them attended the funeral. We donated a tree toad planted it beside the Stokley Center to honor him. Unfortunately, it was sacrificed when they expanded Stokley.
