I am seeing a lot of these lists start to pop up. Thought I would take a shot at my all decade Oregon team. For all the coaching turmoil, it is the greatest decade in Oregon football history . . . no question.
I limited my list to 11 players. I used 3 WRs, instead of 2 RBs or 2 TEs. And I should warn, my picks are not all based on statistics. This is just the team I would pick, if I was given the last 10 years of Ducks. (Yes, I know I have 4 tackles listed, but I'm pretty sure those guys could figure it out).
QB: Marcus Mariota
RB: LaMichael James
WR: Jeffrey Maehl
WR: Dillon Mitchell
WR: DeAnthony Thomas
TE: David Paulson
OL: Tyrell Crosby
OL: Penei Sewell
OL: Jake Fischer
OL: Hroniss Grasu
OL: Calvin Throckmorton
Second Team: Darron Thomas, Royce Freeman, Josh Huff, Dwayne Stanford, Lavasier Tuinei, Pharaoh Brown, Tyler Johnstone, Kyle Long, Jake Hanson, Carson York, Shane Lemieux, Mark Asper
With defense, I went with 4 defensive linemen (I took some liberties with DL/LB designation), 3 linebackers and 4 DBs.
DL: Arik Armstead
DL: DeForest Buckner
DL: Dion Jordan
DL: Jalen Jelks
LB: Kiko Alonso
LB: Michael Clay
LB:Troy Dye
DB: Ifo Ekpre-Olomu
DB: Terrance Mitchell
DB: John Boyett
DB: Erik Dargan
Second Team: Jordon Scott, Kenny Rowe, Taylor Hart, Tony Washington, Jr., Casey Matthews, Justin Hollins, Joe Walker, Cliff Harris, Troy Hill, Eddie Pleasant, Jevon Holland
There were a lot of other great players over the years I wanted to include. I really enjoyed watching them all. Going back through ChileDuck's depth chart over the years made me appreciate what a special decade it was . . . fun exercise.
