Give me the 2 best players at each position for the Lions in the last 30-some years…go!
Sanders & Gibbs
Fox & Sam Martin
Goff and Stafford
Hutch and Bubba Baker @ edge
Suh and Rodgers (or Ball) at IDL
Speilman and Levy LB
Bly and Slay @ CB
Blades and Joseph @ S (about to change, I hope)
Tackle → Sewell and Decker
G → Warford & Rob Simms? (they’ve been pretty consistently bad)
C → Ragnow and Glover
WR → CJ & Moore
QB - Goff and Stafford
FB - Cory S
WR - Calvin and Herman Moore
RB - Barry and then who knows!?
TE - Hmmmmm tough one? David Sloan and Hock
O-line - Decker and Sewell
D-Line - Suh and Porcher
LB - Spielman and Boyd
Corner - Bly and Slay
Safety - Bennie Blades and Glover Quinn
Punter - Fox!
Kicker - Hanson and Prater
LS - Mule
Reporter - Dannie ![]()
Motivational Speaker - Big Natty
Advanced Polling Technician - JMan
GM - Holmes
Coach - Fontes (He won a playoff game, gotta be him)
Lomas & Decker (OLT)
Hanson & Prater (K)
30-years? I’m too lazy for that. My favorites on this team:
- Frank Ragnow on the OL because he sets their standard.
- Amon-Ra on O because he’s like Ben Wallace for this team.
- Gibbs is best RB
- Hutch on DL but Houston is 1b for me.
- Kujo is still my favorite safety
- Ben Johnson is my fave coordinator. Without him, we’re a mid-tier offense

Lane was still playing in the 90s man time alludes me
Some of those guys played well into they’re 60s by 1993…![]()
Oops i did all time my bad will correct
Good list, agree on most! We really haven’t had many centers in the past 30 years. I’d go Kevin Glover over Raiola though
I mean i was just putting a center down that had a long career with us at that point. He was always limited to be sure but not sure who i would put as our second best C since 93.
HockenSloan
MooreCalvin
PerriMorton
BurleSunGod
RaiAgnow
BrownDecker
WarfJonah
WoodyHart
SewAwful
BarryBush
SledgeSledge
MattyGoff
Thats the offense
Also for guard, how about Jeff Hartings!
Good call my mind had glover as a guard for some reason… i was starting my lions fandom and football fandom those days
7 day suspension for that!
I think what this exercise did for me was make me realize how young we are and how i believe a lot of our current guys could shortly vault onto this list… also, god we have been bad forever ![]()
RT is a steaming pile of crap after Sewell.
What wheezes list sounds like to me…
HockenSloan. A law firm?
A vacuum cleaner company?
A seltzer/mixer for alcoholic drinks
skin toner for men?
pain relief for migraine
low budget porn company
one of Frodo’s adversaries that later becomes a friend
star in one of browndecker’s films
law firm known for defending agains frivolous lawsuits
co-star in one of browndecker’s films
some sisters that used to sing with Motown in the 70s
hand cream?
You didn’t like Aaron Gibson and Stocker McDingledongle!?
