All Cooper Era Offense - Big Uglies - Offensive Linemen/TE/K (Poll)

[Muck]

Now that the All Tressel Era Polls are up and running, it's time to start working our way back....

So on to Round II: The All Coop Team Poll

I've listed all of the starters from the beginning of the season during his tenure. I've also added any awards they received during their playing time and where they were drafted by the NFL. (Due to space restraints a couple of players didn't make the list...so if you're a fan of Bernard Edwards, Brett Powers or Jack Thrush you'll just have to hold it against me).

There are too many players to list the entire offense in a single poll so I've split it into two groups...the Fleet Footed & The Big Uglies.

This poll is the Big Uglies (ie the guys in the trenches) players:

So vote for the following:

Two Offensive Tackles
Two Offensive Guards
One Center
One Tight End
One Kicker

That means you should cast a total of 7 votes.

Some players are listed at multiple positions due to being starters at different spots during their careers.

Players are listed alphabetically by last name.

Players who only spent one year under Coach Cooper are NOT included (so no Jeff Uhlenhake, Vince Workman, Derek MacCready or Everett Ross). That same criteria will be in placed for the previous eras as well (So no Jim Laughlin, Mike Guess or Ken Fritz for Earle ).

So without further adieu, the nominees:

FYI To keep the clutter down I've created a Master Thread for discussion of all the various coach's "consensus" polls.


Don't forget to vote in all the other polls!


(You can find links to them in the master thread linked above)

Tackles- No brainer
Guards- I included Bentley at guard to have Beatty at center.

Beatty was just a nasty mf on the field.

 

[BuckeyeBullet]

Who is that Orlando Pace guy?

The OT was about the easiest thing I've ever done...

Ben Gilbert is from my home town, so gotta vote for him :)
