We are now halfway through the selection process of our CSC All-Time Saints Team. With training camp just a few weeks away now, we might not even finish before football starts getting played. But today we're moving back to the offensive side of the ball and talking about that always exciting position: Offensive guard. Below is a list of players I've researched and deemed worthy of inclusion in our discussion of great Saints guards. As usual I will leave it up to you guys, the readers, to nominate any other players you feel should be included.
The poll will open at 6am Central tomorrow morning and will be open for exactly 48 hours, ending on Tuesday, July 14th. Remember that there will be a separate election held for the second guard position.
I now open it up for any other nominations or players that you just can't believe I missed. There very well may be a glaring omission. Talk it out in the comment section. I would also love to hear some personal rumination from our readers who've actually watched these guys plays.
