Man.....after voting, you really recognize just how damn good that '88 oline was.....wow. It's amazing how long it took Son of Paul realize how important talen up front is.
RE: Message Board All-Time Team (Oline) - Nate (formerly eliminate08) - 06-07-2015
I was going to go with Kozerski or Johnson but i never watched them play so i went with Braham.
He was a fine Center for us and we really haven't had one since.
Zeitler might end up being the best but he has not reached that level yet. Pay the man and we will see!
RE: Message Board All-Time Team (Oline) - wolfkaosaun - 06-07-2015
I wonder how many people are going to argue that you should have put Whitworth as a LG
RE: Message Board All-Time Team (Oline) - Tiger Teeth - 06-07-2015
How come you didn't put Whitworth in as a LG?!!!

RE: Message Board All-Time Team (Oline) - SunsetBengal - 06-07-2015
I went with Reimers, Johnson, and Montoya.
Johnson/Kozerski was the only close call, in my book. I almost selected Koz'. I felt compelled to show some love to the first Bengal ever, who also went on to play 12 years, in an era when a lot more dirty play went unnoticed in Lineman play.
RE: Message Board All-Time Team (Oline) - magikod - 06-07-2015
So many decisions!!!
RE: Message Board All-Time Team (Oline) - OSUfan - 06-07-2015
Reimers, Braham, and Montoya. Was not a real hard decision as far as I was concerned. Koz was a tough one to leave off as he was so versatile along the O Line. I could see voting for Johnson being the first draft selection but I think the three I voted for absolutely earned it. Braham was arguably the toughest center we have ever had.

I would guess only those that do not understand that he is a top 5 active LT.
RE: Message Board All-Time Team (Oline) - SunsetBengal - 06-07-2015
Lol, apparently some folks didn't understand how the poll works.
A quick glance at the vote totals to this point shows that 17 folks voted for an all-time Center, 16 cast a vote for an all-time RG, and only 15 made a selection for a LG.

I always vote for one Sunset. Only one.
RE: Message Board All-Time Team (Oline) - StripesNTN - 06-07-2015
I went Lapham, Braham, and Montoya.
RE: Message Board All-Time Team (Oline) - bfine32 - 06-08-2015
Braham and Koz are all tied up at Center. Need a few who haven't voted to break the tie.
RE: Message Board All-Time Team (Oline) - Bengalzona - 06-09-2015
What about Dave Remmington?

I was thinking the same thing. Reimers was one tough dude and Montoya never should have been allowed to leave.
I had the same difficulty choosing the center. I knew I'd regret whatever choice I made - not because they weren't good but because the other one was just as good or better.
Went with Kozerski, but I would have been just as happy with Braham.
RE: Message Board All-Time Team (Oline) - masonbengals fan - 06-09-2015
I went with Steinbach, Braham & Montoya.
Tough choices

Perhaps the best College Center to ever play the game; unfortunatly for us, an average Center that only lasted 5 years as a Bengal
RE: Message Board All-Time Team (Oline) - fredtoast - 06-10-2015
I love Richie Braham, but he was not as good as Johnson or Kozerski.
