Hands down, this guy was great for the field and the community.

I think the pro-bowl appearances says it all. And if Joe Horn had left his wife alone he might have ended his career with the Saints.

played LT his first four seasons with the team, before being moved inside to guard. I think if you’re going to list Wayne Martin, Jim Wilks, Frank Warren, etc., as DEs then you should probably make the same “multiple position” concessions for players who have shown that level of versatility along the OL. That would go for LeCharles Bentley, as well (whenever we get around to nominating centers and guards). I’d also like to bring up a couple of guys I doubt anyone else is going to mention: Don Morrison, who played for the Saints throughout the 1970s, and Jerry Sturm, a notable member of the inaugural team who played all three OL positions during his career. He was a two-time Pro Bowler in the AFL with the Denver Broncos prior to landing in New Orleans via the expansion draft.

What could be better? Brock played his whole career at right tackle, and Roaf spent his at left (except for his rookie year…when he replaced Brock).

Willie is my All-Time Favorite Saint!

marry a stripper, then hold it against your teammate when you discover she’s promiscuous? I’m feeling the logic.

I was a HUGE fan of Kyle Turley you kindah got to give it to Roaf hands down. And Coldpizza you hit it on the head.

Willie’s the only offensive player in the Saints Hall of Fame with a decent chance to end up in the actual Hall of Fame.

Why is Jammal Brown even on this list he sucks

fo-sho and Stan Brock,until Stan got bull-rushed by the late Reggie White, resulting in the sack for a safety of Bobby Hebert, that changed the mo in the Eagle/Saint play-off game Jan 3,1993, AAaarrrrggghhhh

And I want Stan Brock in as well. Put me down for Hilgenberg at center and then help me find another good OL who played lots of years for Saints to round out the bunch.

What position did Steve Korte play?

I wanna see this fat girl that one of my padnas hooked up with one night while drunk, she was a beast of a woman and definitely could’ve been a lineman.

remove Jamaal Brown from the nomination list – I find it personally upsetting to see him on a list with Roaf. Ditto for Turley.

I think what we’re going to find (if we haven’t already) is that some of these positions are going to be total no-brainers because we haven’t had more than 1 or 2 really good players at that position ever. To me, it is Roaf and Brock at tackles and it isn’t close.

is considerably overrated as a LT. I’m probably one of the few people in this group who threw a small hissy fit when they took Reggie Bush at #2 overall. Not that I have any real problems with Bush. I just saw D’Brickashaw Ferguson as our LT, he and Brown forming the perrennial All-Pro bookends we’ve never had. I was convinced they were going to work a deal to trade down and I even held out hope for a player-for-player trade after the Jets selected him, like the Giants and Chargers pulled a couple of years prior.

Brown seems good for at least one false start and one holding penalty per game. He also hasn’t shown a whole lot of ability in maintaining outside containment on sweeps. Granted, that’s something that even the elite struggle with at times. Yet with certain glorified Vai Sikahemas on the roster, it is what it is. All in all, a particularly frustrating aspect of your game to consider a shortcoming, particularly when your star running back possesses the directional repertoire of a tetherball. Brown IS an exceptional pass blocker, though. And he’s at least ballpark average in opening up inside lanes, as evidenced by the few backs we’ve had that managed to recognize them consistently.

As far as the Pro Bowls are concerned, I don’t consider him particularly deserving of either of them based on his on-the-field performance. That’s not a knock, that’s just me saying Chris Samuels is a better LT at this stage of his career. Couple that with Walter Jones and Orlando Pace both getting up there in age and a position that very few people pay much attention to to begin with is suddenly lacking a poster child.

In steps Brown with a phenomenal first game performance against Julius Peppers in the season opener of 2005. In fact, his entire rookie season was exceptional. That was on at RT, however. The next season, the Saints were the feel good story of the NFL and it would have been unheard of to not have any members of an NFC Championship caliber team invited to Honolulu. Brown didn’t completely stink it up that year, so he was the safe bet. This may be hard for some of you to come to terms with, but it was a buzzword nomination. He’s basically been living off his rookie reputation as “the pup who manhandled Julius Peppers” ever since.

That being said, I think he belongs on this list, as he’s arguably one of — if not THE — best pass blocking tackle(s) we’ve ever had. I realize that’s not saying a whole lot, considering the size of the field. Brock, Roaf and Dombrowski’s careers overlap and combine to cover the majority of the franchise’s relatively short existence anyway, so you’re not really going to milk BOTH longetivity AND diversity out of such a group.

the template on the right doesn’t have a kicker, punter, returns specialist, special teams ace, long snapper or head coach. Are we not going to be voting for any of those positions? Also, since we have 12 defensive players, I think we should have a RB/WR position that could encompass all the leftovers from those two spots. That way, the loser of the impending Ambramowicz/Martin battle would still have a shot at beating out our second best HB ever for what would amount to a utility spot on the all-time team. Just a suggestion.
