All-time Patriots team, Patsfan geezer thread: how many NON-BB/TB12-era players make the team?

[oldrover]

Geezer defined as “old enough to see them play”.

I can think of a few:

John Hannah
Stanley Morgan
Mike Haynes
In the two-TE offense, Russ Francis

And while I loved Steve Grogan...



...this guy’s a proven big game backup QB.

 

[Deus Irae]

Here's 3 off the top of my head.

Gray
Tippet
Martin

 

[Deus Irae]

I can think of a bunch more, but let's see what others come up with.

 

[DaBruinz]

Coates
Grogan
"BAM" Cunningham
Gino Cappelletti
Houston Antwine
Jim Lee Hunt
Nick Buoniconti

 

[TheRainMaker]

Bruce Armstrong. Was cut along with Coates after the ‘99 season.

Correction: I think he played the 2000 season.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Sam Gash at FB. Loved that guy.

 

[TomPatriot]

Babe Parilli, Gino Cappelletti, JimLee Hunt, Mike Haynes, Sam Bam Cunningham.

 

[Patriotic]

Agree with John Hannah, Mike Haynes and Stanley Morgan.

Andre Tippett might be another.

 

[p8ryts]

Jim Nance, Julius Adams, Garen Varis, Irving Fryar

aahhh I love when old folk reminisce about the good ol' days.

So sweet, so gentle

 

[RobertWeathers]

Tippett over Vrabes and playing opposite Willie
Hannah over Mankins
Haynes over Gilly and maybe Law
Morgan over Wes (Moss and JE11 stay)
Francis/Coates over TE2
Bruce over Light
83 Clayton Weishuhn over Mayo

 

[aluminum seats]

Mosi Tatupu. Just for the name.

And I love little kids. They’re cute.

 

[Ian]

Coates, Armstrong, Martin, Gash, Tippett and of course, Grogan - just to name a few

 

[Sfpat]

Steve Nelson

 

[maust]

Jim Nance, Larry Eisenhauer, Houston Antwine, Jim Lee Hunt, Mike Haynes, Nick Buoniconti, Mosi, Russ Francis, The Steamer, Leon Gray, Hog Hannah, Jon Morris, Tippet, Steve Nelson, Curtis Martin and not that a Pats all-time team would probably even need a punter but Rich Camarillo was the goods. Honorable mention Ron Hall, Raymond Clayborn and Julius Adams

 

[aluminum seats]

I’ve got a football signed by most of the original Pats btw, if anybody knows what that might be worth let me know

I'm clicking "like" on almost all of these even though some are not compatible with each other. I love our history. We're very lucky.
