The Roster, By Era

[Direckshun]

Doing this for my own entertainment.

I did this before, but it's an interesting way to look at the roster.

Red are Pioli era picks.
Blue are Herm/Carl.
Green are Vermeil/Carl.

[Sofa King]

We need to bring back Dick.

[Molitoth]

Nice job Direckshun

[RealSNR]

Pretty sure Studebaker was on the roster when Herm was king.

[ChiTown]

We need to bring back Dick.

You need more dick?

Wallace Gilberry is another. He was 2008 as well.

[the Talking Can]

the 2009 class should be core players by now...but even with Jackson's improved play, that class was a debacle...and Cassel is 'core' only in a perverse sense...

i think, at this point, Dorsey and Carr are core...both are rock solid

Asamoah and Houston will be next year, and Moeaki could be if he could stay healthy

It's bulky but i consider it carry on.

Asamoah and Houston will be next year, and Moeaki could be if he could stay healthyFreaky shit? With more improvement on the defensive line, it's very possible we'll see all four linebackers move onto the "core" players list.

The fact that this group went from one of the weakest in 2009 to by far the strongest position on the team in just 3 years needs to be pondered. Three of those guys were on the team in 2009, too.

There's a coach somewhere that deserves credit for this. Gibbs, maybe?

For most people the list starts like this:

Matt Cassel

Tyson Jackson

Any body else Pioli brought in

Interesting number - The KC duo of Tyson Jackson and Glenn Dorsey are 1-2 in the NFL for 3-4 DE stops

agree, Carr especially. Damn it is nice having a set of corners! No more Ty Law please!

It makes me want to puke, but thanks Herm!
