I'm with you on this. Just flat out a bad-ass linebacker.

I remember Ricky wearing a Daniel Boone coonskin cap during an interview once. The interviewer asked another player if anyone else in the locker room could get away with that and he quickly said no.

Archie would be my first choice. So many great players over the years but they could never be put together to form a team until recent years. Hokie was amazing but his knees couldn't hold up. Muncie and Galbreath were fun to watch and Wes. Always liked the way Hobie Brenner played also. Too many to name them all.

Archie.

Pierre Thomas or Marques Colston for me.

PT was criminally underused and underappreciated by many but was such a game changer, it was just never noticed because he was always part of a 4 headed monster at RB.

Colston, I remember when I first watched the Saints in 06 and the guy just immediately jumped out, not to mention he just seems like a great human being. He was just so consistent and just knew how to get open, despite never being the fastest.

Danny Abramowicz, 17th round draft choice. Was my 1st favorite.
was an archie fan while at Ole Miss and continued as a favorite w/ the saints.

favorite all time has to be Drew.
Didn't think I would see Saints in SB let alone win one during my lifetime.

Manning to Abramowitz --- Met them personally at Cajun Field Lafayette, LA... Great Day! 1970-71

I came to the States a wide eyed Frechman in 1978, not knowing a thing about American Football. Landing in New Orleans, I bonded with the Saints, sorta like a pet with their master. I missed out on the early years of Saints players, some of which were mentioned already. To pick just one would be a slight on a quite a few, from a historical perspective. But man, I love me some Dome Patrol ! Methinks the NFL of today wouldn't tolerate that kind of play, as the game's been wussified. Then you'd have to go the QBs, Brees then Archie.

Can you imagine a Dome Patrol Defense with a Brees/SP led Offense? It'd be one for the history books, sorta like LSU's season last year.
