We're rolling now with our all-time Saints team elections and nearing the finish line. So far it's been pretty exciting, significantly more so than last summer.
Next up in our selection process is the second offensive guard position, Jim Dombrowski having been overwhelming elected as our first guard on the all-time roster. Check out that election right here.
To start things off, I've nominated every other guard remaining from that election. Their basic info can be found after the jump. If you think any other player(s) should be included in tomorrow's election, nominate them in the comment section and explain why.
The poll will open at 6am Central tomorrow morning and will be open for exactly 48 hours, ending on Wednesday, July 14th.
I now open it up for any other nominations of players that you just can't believe I missed or to have one of the players listed below removed from tomorrows ballot. There very well may be a glaring omission. Talk it out below. I would also love to hear some personal rumination from our readers who've actually watched these guys play. Remember, this isn't just about choosing a player but allowing readers to share their memories of these players and educating those of us who never had a chance to see them.
