25 Best Dwags Since 2000
Comments
-
I think it's come up on here before but Stanback is pretty high on my list of Dwags who were in the wrong era and/or undercoached. If he doesn't get hurt in 2006 that team probably wins 9-10 games and gets Willingham an extension.

I should have put Saint Ruperake as an honorary member.
I'm not as nitpicky on BBK as DDY was but I think he didn't really put it together until like halfway through his senior season and it must have been a very weak field the year her won DPOY. Still my dwag though.
Polk and McMillan got consideration. Polk probably just not quite productive enough and McMillan got hurt in 2023.
I probably overrated Trice because I recently watched the 2023 P10CG and Sugar Bowl highlights and he made huge plays and seemed like our entire defense at times that season.
I think Foster was a possible all timer but just played on average teams. Put him on 2023 and he's a legend.

I'm partial to McMillian because if it's best players, nobody could stop him except DeBoer.
He scared defenses on a level that is really rare.

No Race Porter???
-
Agree that the Race Porter exclusion is egregious.
Byron Murphy hasn't been mentioned and all he did was ball out for 2 years while winning a Pac-12 title game with a Pick-6.

You're 100% right about BBK but the I think our first conference game was at Utah and he was a difference maker. That 3rd and short where he took on a bigger back/te and turned him backwards got the conversation going.

(Since you listed Dillon who was pre-2000)
-
The more I look at that list to replace guys with my list of exclusions (BBK, Rosengarten, Murphy, Polk/McMillan, Pickett, Race Porter), the only guy I definitely want to take off is…
Locker
-
I think it's pretty well established I'm a big McMillan guy. I was crying at some bar in Ballard when he got hurt against Michigan State the way I was when Locker got hurt against the Beav in 2007 and Coug fans were celebrating in the street ala Auburn fans when Bear Bryant died.
We've been through this before, but Murphy didn't play enough ball because of his injury and leaving after his redshirt Sophomore year to get on here. If we were just talking CBs I'd put Desmond Trufant on before him even though he kind of sucked his first three seasons.
