We played a 4-3 for the era that gave us this discussion. I see no reason to engineer a different outcome for one guy. But that aside, who would you omit? We have a 4x all pro, 5x pro bowler in jessie armstead and no one even mentions him in this thread. Lewis is the GOAT. Morgan the most decorated cfb lb. And Barrow who represented the best Lb group in the history of cfb, and lead the title team D back when.
I put Taylor over Blades but if someone disagrees, i respect that.

LMAO @ Jaquan. Blades aside, have you heard of darryl williams?
And no lewis at LB? The best defensive player in the history of football has a spot on our starting 11.

You sir are correct, Daryl Williams was an all time great safety at UM and also better than Jaquan

I mean of course I put Ray on the all time squad, but I never saw him. Ive seen his highlights and stuff, and I probably saw him as a kid on tv when my dad was watching... (I vaguely remember Russell Maryland) but I didnt start watching and following the Canes until around your time on the Canes Mr. Sands.

As stated previously, hes a great MLB, but Vilma and Armistead are better OLB's because of their speed.

YEah, Morgan is on the first team. If you want to quibble about positions, fine, but Ray at MLB and Morgan at OLB. The other debate is who is that 3rd LB (other OLB). I know Jessie is up there (defintiely would be the choice had he not had his soph year derailed by injury) but one can argue Darrin Smith pretty easily IMO.

Vilma played inside at UM. And Darrin Smith was better as an OLB at UM than Armstead (armstead had a serious injury interfere with his UM career). D. Smith was also that fastest of all of them. Maybe the fasted Lb ever at UM.

I mean, I know his nickname was "Flea," but come on.
Without the 'stache there's no way he passes for anything above 12 years old. lol.
Dude could kick it through when it mattered, though.
