#42 really ought to be LeShon Johnson or maybe Sharper
As Cheech - or was it Chong - said in their famous kamikaze pilot sketch, "Are you outta your f___ing mind?!?!?!"
#42 is John Brockington. Guy was a truck, a hard-charging back out of OSU, and for his first three years, until he was hurt, I believe, he was a thousand yard rusher at a time when the season was still only 14 games.
He went about 225 at a time when that's how much a big linebacker might be, and he ran - if I remember correctly - with his knees churning high.
If Sharper hadn't played with Minny for those few years I might say him, but no, John Brockington for me.
"The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."
Also, to support patler's assertion on Henry Jordan - at that time I don't think the league kept track of individual tackles (I tried to look Jordan up). However, he was named first team All-Pro five times and was named to the Pro Bowl four times.
In 1964 he recovered a fumble and took it sixty yards to the house.
And here's how much the game changed: he was 6'-2" and weighed 248 pounds as a defensive tackle.
Today he'd be a linebacker.
"The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."
I stuck Eugene Robinson in at 41. I currently have #'s 27, 40, and 42 up for debate although I'm leaning towards Brockington. I know nothing about Chuck Mercein at #27.
* Edit - replaced Mandarich with Jenkins, I forgot Mandarich was still on the list from before. Put Gabe Wilkins at 98. Is he really the best we can do? Stuck Corey Williams at 99 but I'm open to suggestions.

You have to get Tony Mandarich out of there. Heck, I'd take Cullen Jenkins over him easy.

Nobody who has worn the #6 has played for the Packers for more than 1 year, according to packers.com.

#11 - Have to take Matt Hasselbeck over Ty Detmer. Neither played much in Green Bay, but Matt wins in a tossup because of the career he's had overall.

#16 - Lou Brock. I don't know anything about him, but he's in the Packers Hall of Fame and that's more than enough to beat out Hunter.
#17 - Cecil Isbell. He was on the NFL's All-Decade Team of the 30s.
#18 - Tobin Rote

Two Packer greats, Arnie Herber and Mike Michalske, both wore #19--although both wore other numbers, as well. In fact, Michalske wore 9 different uniform numbers for the Pack--which is a team record.

If I knew anything about Isbell I'd have more to go on, but Bidwell was a really good punter. Since I can't argue about someone I don't know you win though.
