Lynch joins BBV All-Time Team

by Ed Valentine on May 8, 2008 9:21 PM EDT in New York Giants All-Time Team

In a very close vote, Dick Lynch edged Mark Haynes, 24-20, for the first cornerback slot on our Big Blue View All-Time Giants Team.

As promised, now we will select the second cornerback. Since many of you wanted Mark Collins on the original ballot, the second corner slot will be between those two.

Go ahead and vote in the poll.

After this, we have one safety slot remaining and our defensive unit is complete.

Real tough vote

I went for Collins only because he was around longer.

Yeah, it was close for me. too

I went for Haynes because he was a three-time Pro Bowler. I don’t think Collins ever made it. The Giants haven’t been know as a team fielding star CBs.

Corner

Yes, this process made it really obvious that corner has never been a position of true strength for the Giants. Who knows, maybe Ross, Webster and Thomas will change that. Maybe one of these guys will eventually be looked at as an all-timer. Wouldn’t that be nice?
