Lemonade From Lemons--(Fantasy Roster 2008-2014)
Inspired by the fluff ESPN All-Century Michigan team---
We all know that our program was a veritable tire fire from 2008-2014, but we also know there were true individual gems to come of that period as well.
If you could compile a full 2 deep roster of players from that era to field the best team possible, what would that roster look like? Would you just go for raw talent, or would you consider scheme & cohesiveness as well?
EDIT: And you can include current players on that roster, but they must be that player circa 2014. i.e., if you're including Jake Butt, it's gotta be 2014 Jake Butt, not the July 2016 version.
Can we take those players and level them up with essence of Harbaugh?
What would that roster look like?
I filled out my two deep and it looks AWESOME!
QB: Denard
RB: Toussaint
WR: Gallon
WR: Hemingway
TE: Butt
OT: Lewan
OT: Schoenfield
G: Omameh

DE: Clark
DT: Martin
DT: Van Bergen
LB: Ryan
LB: Morgan
LB: Mouton
CB: Lewis
CB: Warren
S: Wilson
S: Kovacks
P: Mesko
K: Not sure, Don't really want to put Gibbons on here.
KR: Stonum
PR: No Idea
Funchess over Hemingway
Demens over Mouton
Gallon at PR
You could put Lopata or Olesnavage at K. Both were solid.
Agree with this and would add Minor over Touissaint
He only picked 4 offensive specialists, so theoretically it could be Gallon & Hemmingway at WR and Butt & Funchess at TE.
I'd put him with Gallon at WR. I felt he had a better overall career and he was the original "snake oil" recruit.
I can't remember if it was Gallon or Dileo at PR, but one of them actually caught the ball and didn't muff it. Whoever that was that's who I'd pick. That was an annoying special teams weakness during this stretch.

Many forget we had Peppers in 2014. He was hurt but we had him.
This is important: who is the coach?
Mike Debord
Everything offense: RichRod
Everything defense: Mattison
No head coach. If need be, put Ricky Leach on the sidelines yelling "I'm Ricky Leach!"
