These were the all-star Defensive Ends since 2000.

Tom Canada was from the 80's! Wrong century

It's too early in Alberta to be that high.

I started rewatching CFL too late to see Odell kicking butt in blue & gold, but from what I hear he was better than Willie.  But I'll pick Willie because he's been the impact guy the whole rest of the time -- especially the "dominant" years like '19-'21.

And don't minimize or forget Willie's leadership role.  He's the leader & pep talker during every warmup & pregame.  I'm not even sure who'd be that guy should Willie leave or retire.  We are so lacking in "fire" guys these days without AH and Yoshi.

Odell kicking butt in blue & gold

Mayor of Swaggerville.  We had a great defense then but his trash talk also painted big target on us. I went Jefferson and Jeffcoat, guys who have drank from the Cup.

Odell Willis was good but he free lanced way too much and left others in the defense hanging out to dry because of his being out of position.

Wasn't Westerman NAT?  He should get some love just for that, being a NAT in an always-IMP position.

Pretty sure he was a Canuck

Jeffcoat and Jefferson were an epic tandem. Maybe it's recency bias but they were phenomenal bookends together.
