Come up with 11 defenders to stop this offense... (1 Viewer)

[Raider Nation]

But here's the catch. You can't have two players from the same franchise on your defense. I did the same thing with my offense. For instance, Jerry Rice HAD to be on this team, but that meant that Joe Montana could not be. Then once Dan Marino got on the team, that meant that Dwight Stephenson could not be.

List the teams the players were with when they were their most dominant.

I know that you could argue for Unitas over Marino, Alworth over Moss, Payton over Sanders, etc. But I simply put together a team which I thought would be the hardest to defend. Now show me a nasty 11 who could stop them.

I'll work on this, but a quick question before I start: how does it work with players on multiple franchises? You didn't pick any Raiders, but would Moss have prevented you? I'll want Deion; how does that effect my defense?

 

[Raider Nation]

I'll work on this, but a quick question before I start: how does it work with players on multiple franchises? You didn't pick any Raiders, but would Moss have prevented you? I'll want Deion; how does that effect my defense?

I knew I could count on you. Moss did not prevent me from picking a Raider, because I picked him as a Viking. If the player played for multiple franchises, please pick the team he was with when he was at the height of his game. So you could argue Atlanta, San Francisco or Dallas in his case and I wouldn't have a problem with it.

My thinking with Brown and Sanders in the backfield would be to play a straight-up 4-3 defense, so Deion, Mean Joe Greene at DT and L.T. at OLB would be the three biggest no-brainers to start the team. Brown, BTW, is technically listed as a "FB" at the NFL Hall-of-Fame website, so I'm not cheating there.

 

[Raider Nation]

And how insane is that O-line? Think Gonzo and that crew could block anyone, especially the Webster/Hannah/Munoz side of the line?

*I'd take Rod Woodson as a Raven if I could take his whole career, but Woodson as a Raven wouldn't make the cut. I'd also give some thought to Ed Reed or Troy Polamolu, for short spurts of brilliance that are as good as any safety ever.

MLB is obviously the most crowded spot. Lambert's probably out because of Greene, but Lewis, Singletary and Nichtske all are solid choices. I originally had Seau in at OLB over Brooks, and think guys like Thomas, Bobby Bell and Ham all could make fine cases. I probably should have Bell in over Brooks, but in the end I think having LT, White and Jones means I'll have no problem getting to the passer. I need someone to cover Gonzalez, though, and Brooks is as good a cover 'backer as I can think of. Plus he's a 12-time Pro Bowler, 7 time AP player, and won a DPOY award.

White, Greene, LT, Jones and Sanders were no brainers. The other DT wasn't too hard, either. Lott had to make it, and going in at safety seems like a wise choice. Lane complements Deion well, so on average I've got one tackler. Having two former corners at safety should help stop those receivers, and I like my overall team speed. I also struggled with which team to put Lott in at, but opted with the 'Niners because I thought he played most of his best ball there.

Fixed. Picking Harrison over Moss would wipe out Unitas and Manning as options, and make Staubach an even stronger pick. But if we're playing this "at their height" game, Moss probably wins, and either way he's a better complement to Rice.

I know you're a big Slater fan, but I was surprised to see he only made 7 Pro Bowls. And he didn't have to compete with Munoz. Roaf made 11, Ogden 10, Pace 7, etc. I went with Gregg, though, who has no blemishes on his resume.

Allen's great and all, and maybe was the best G ever at his peak. But I figured I'd throw in the only 14-time Pro Bowler in league history. Figured I'd throw Otto in there to spice things up as well. As for Sharpe, I think he's a better fit for this offense than Gonzo.

Get to know Kenny Easley. http://www.thenewstribune.com/sports/seaha...p-3574332c.html

Great football players choose their adjectives carefully in describing their peers. But they don't hold back when the subject turns to Easley.

"Kenny could do what Jack Tatum could do, but he also could do what Mike Haynes could do," Lott said. "He was not only a great hitter and great intimidator on the field, but he was a great athlete.

"Kenny, Lawrence Taylor and those guys changed the game of football on the defensive side because they were not just big hitters. Now, all of sudden, you were seeing guys who were big hitters, but also as athletic as anyone on offense."

Here's the thing though. I would have put Walter Jones over there, but I decided to put a guy there who spent the majority of his career AS a right tackle. Hence, Slater. Jones/Roaf/Ogden/Pace were/are mainly left tackles.

Allen's great and all, and maybe was the best G ever at his peak. But I figured I'd throw in the only 14-time Pro Bowler in league history. Figured I'd throw Otto in there to spice things up as well. As for Sharpe, I think he's a better fit for this offense than Gonzo.

Can't argue with Matthews, certainly. But in his day, I believe Allen was a more dominant run blocker. Again, with Sanders and Jim Brown in the backfield, this team is going to POUND the rock, then set up play-action passes to Moss and Rice.My running philosophy is also the reason I chose Gonzo. Thought about Winslow, Sr. and Sharpe, but Gonzalez is clearly the superior blocking TE of that group.

Re-thinking this, you could get away with Peppers here if you use a 46 front and put him in the rush end Richard Dent/Terrell Suggs role. The players on this defense could greatly minimize the primary weakness of the Bear defense -- quick, accurate, short passes before the pressure gets there -- with the elite shutdown corners and two-way safeties. You can now reliably get eight in the box to help shut down the rush attack and outnumber that HOF OL and force the offense to use one RB or TE as a blocker. If they try to take advantage of the perceived weakness of the scheme, every LB and S on the team can provide pressure while the WR struggle against our corners. With Marino's immobility, I think you win the vast majority of downs.Defense wins championships.

The defense from The Longest Yard.

 

[Chase Stuart]

I think I'd rather have Joe Greene than Lambert, Ham or Mel Blount too, but I can't get my mind around Derrick Brooks. I think Ted Hendricks was well rounded enough to play the other OLB spot.

Thoughts on Bell vs. Brooks vs. Lambert vs. Hendricks, independent of our little game?

 

[Chase Stuart]

Not to :hijack: too much, but what about 11 offensive players with only one per modern conference (i.e., forget what conference they were actually in, just what they're in now)?

I actually don't think it would be too hard. You could go with Montana or Young, since ND is independent and the MWC hasn't had too many superstars off the top of my head. I also think you wouldn't have too many candidates from the SWAC or the C-USA.

So we've got Rice, Moss, Young/Montana. I'd probably grab Brown and Sanders. So the Big 12 and Big East are out. I've got to roll out of here, but maybe someone can finish up.

Fielding a D might be harder.

 

[Jene Bramel]

Thoughts on Bell vs. Brooks vs. Lambert vs. Hendricks, independent of our little game?

I can't get past the feeling, which may be incorrect, that Brooks' ability wouldn't hold up in a defensive scheme that didn't suit him as well as the Tampa-2 does. He's a very good pursuit and coverage backer but I just don't know that he'll stand the test of time as an elite all-around player. It just doesn't feel right to list Taylor, Ham, Hendricks and then Brooks. I'll confess that I don't know much about Bell. I'd have to look at some first hand accounts of his play. It kills me to leave Jack Ham off these lists, but I think Hendricks may have been a better pass rusher than Ham and I think I'd rather have that aspect on the team than Ham's better cover skills given the secondary we're allowed. I'm sure the Steeler folks will dispute that assessment. I'm pretty sure I'd take Ham over Hendricks if I were looking for the best all-around LB.

 

[dparker713]

Given the potential running game of the opponent, I think Sanders might be the wrong choice. Some combination of Lane, Blount and Bailey since they all could play the run might work out better.

 

[J-Rock]

I'm going with a 3-4

DE-Reggie White...Philadelphia...Maybe the greatest ever...also almost 300lb

NT-Merlin Olsen...Rams...14 straight Pro Bowls from '62-'75

DE-Julius Peppers...Carolina...Another huge DE that is lightning quick

OLB-Lawrence Taylor...New York...line him up beside Reggie, good night!

ILB-**** Butkus...Chicago...Gotta have some beef up the middle, him or Mike, flip of the coin.

ILB Ray Nitschke...Green Bay...Devastating.

OLB-Ted Hendricks...Oakland...pure chaos to opposing offenses.

CB-Mel Blount...Pittsburgh

CB-Deion Sanders...Dallas...[Will blanket Jerry Rice

FS-Jake Scott...Miami...Anyone in the early 70s knows this guy was amazing.

SS- Ronnie Lott...San Fran...Paul Krause was my other option here.

I think the 3-4 is the best way to attack Marino. I want as many play making LBs on the field as possible. This is hard because in order to get Scott on the filed I couldn't put Buoniconti in...same with Joe Greene and Hamm if I wanted Blount...couldn't put Haynes in there really because of Hendricks...fun thread.

Impossible

Pick your poison. Leaving out the best cover corner in the history of the game in order to be better against the run leaves you vulnerable down field. Rice, Moss, & Marino would go off.Here's a question. Assuming Sanders is on the squad, who would you want him covering? Rice or Moss. Who does he match up better against?I know it's easy to say Rice because we all saw the epic battles over the course of their careers. But Moss was as bigger deep threat in his prime than Jerry and Dieon was a great deep cover guy. I think he could frustrate Moss with his speed. He was never a great tackler and Rice took a lot of 5 yard passes the distance. Having said that, if anyone can cover Jerry Deion was the guy.

 

[stevegamer]

On D, I'd want Sanders covering Moss - a guy who can't tackle versus a guy who won't block. It's a match made in heaven.

I'd replace Moss with Largent - not as raw athleticism, but very difficult to cover.

[nygiants56]

But here's the catch. You can't have two players from the same franchise on your defense. I did the same thing with my offense. For instance, Jerry Rice HAD to be on this team, but that meant that Joe Montana could not be. Then once Dan Marino got on the team, that meant that Dwight Stephenson could not be.

List the teams the players were with when they were their most dominant.

I know that you could argue for Unitas over Marino, Alworth over Moss, Payton over Sanders, etc. But I simply put together a team which I thought would be the hardest to defend. Now show me a nasty 11 who could stop them.

QB - Dan Marino (Dolphins)

RB - Barry Sanders (Lions)

FB - Jim Brown (Browns)

TE - Tony Gonzalez (Chiefs)

WR - Randy Moss (Vikings)

WR - Jerry Rice (49ers)

LT - Anthony Munoz (Bengals)

LG - John Hannah (Patriots)

C - Mike Webster (Steelers)

RG - Larry Allen (Cowboys)

RT - Jackie Slater (Rams)

3-4 defense:NT- Jim Burt / Gilbert Brown

OLB - LT

OLB - Carl Banks ( one of the best at stopping TEs from releasing off the line of scrimmage)

DE - Charles Haley

DE - Reggie White

MLB - Singletary

MLB - zach Thomas

CB - Deion

CB - Champ Bailey

safety - Joey Browner

Ss- Lott

4-3 defense:

add DL Jerome Brown and DL Dan Hampton, subtract Burt , Carl Banks

 

[Ministry of Pain]

DE - Reggie White (Eagles/Packers)

DT - Joe Greene (Steelers)

DT - Bob Lily (Cowboys)

DE - Deacon Jones (Rams)

OLB - Lawrence Taylor (Giants)

MLB - **** Butkus (Bears)

OLB - Derrick Brooks (Bucs)

S - Ronnie Lott (49ers)

S - Larry Wilson (Cardinals)*

CB - Deion Sanders (Falcons)

CB - **** Lane (Lions)

*I'd take Rod Woodson as a Raven if I could take his whole career, but Woodson as a Raven wouldn't make the cut. I'd also give some thought to Ed Reed or Troy Polamolu, for short spurts of brilliance that are as good as any safety ever.

MLB is obviously the most crowded spot. Lambert's probably out because of Greene, but Lewis, Singletary and Nichtske all are solid choices. I originally had Seau in at OLB over Brooks, and think guys like Thomas, Bobby Bell and Ham all could make fine cases. I probably should have Bell in over Brooks, but in the end I think having LT, White and Jones means I'll have no problem getting to the passer. I need someone to cover Gonzalez, though, and Brooks is as good a cover 'backer as I can think of. Plus he's a 12-time Pro Bowler, 7 time AP player, and won a DPOY award.

White, Greene, LT, Jones and Sanders were no brainers. The other DT wasn't too hard, either. Lott had to make it, and going in at safety seems like a wise choice. Lane complements Deion well, so on average I've got one tackler. Having two former corners at safety should help stop those receivers, and I like my overall team speed. I also struggled with which team to put Lott in at, but opted with the 'Niners because I thought he played most of his best ball there.

This is a great team given the restrictions. I think I'd rather have Joe Greene than Lambert, Ham or Mel Blount too, but I can't get my mind around Derrick Brooks. I think Ted Hendricks was well rounded enough to play the other OLB spot. I'd rather have Kenny Easley over Larry Wilson, and allow Lott to play in more of a cover role with both thumping over the middle as needed.

I'm going with a 3-4

DE-Reggie White...Philadelphia...Maybe the greatest ever...also almost 300lb

NT-Merlin Olsen...Rams...14 straight Pro Bowls from '62-'75

DE-Julius Peppers...Carolina...Another huge DE that is lightning quick

OLB-Lawrence Taylor...New York...line him up beside Reggie, good night!

ILB-**** Butkus...Chicago...Gotta have some beef up the middle, him or Mike, flip of the coin.

ILB Ray Nitschke...Green Bay...Devastating.

OLB-Ted Hendricks...Oakland...pure chaos to opposing offenses.

CB-Mel Blount...Pittsburgh

CB-Deion Sanders...Dallas...Will blanket Jerry Rice

FS-Jake Scott...Miami...Anyone in the early 70s knows this guy was amazing.

SS- Ronnie Lott...San Fran...Paul Krause was my other option here.

I think the 3-4 is the best way to attack Marino. I want as many play making LBs on the field as possible. This is hard because in order to get Scott on the filed I couldn't put Buoniconti in...same with Joe Greene and Hamm if I wanted Blount...couldn't put Haynes in there really because of Hendricks...fun thread.

I really like this team with one exception. Peppers is an awful nice piece but he's a horrible fit in a 3-4. Bruce Smith would be my two way pick here. And I still like Kenny Easley -- he's one of my all time favorites. I really want to get Jack Ham in here somewhere, but I think Hendricks is still the better choice in a 3-4 with these teammates.I think I'd take the 3-4 here because of the two stud ILBs and take my chances that these two safeties could help contain the power/speed combo of Sanders and Brown.

Most pwople on this board never saw Jake Scott play. He went to 5 straight Pro Bowls from IIRC '71-'75...anchored the secondary that went to 3 straight SB and of course went undefeated in 1972...its hard to argue against him but I also respect Kenny Easley as well.People are pushing Darrell Green but Marino lit him up in the season openr in 1984 as Miami crushed Washington 35-17...marino threw for 5 TDs...you gotta at least use that game as a point of reference.

I felt Blount would be physical enough with Randy moss to keep him in check...and Sanders is imply too fast for Jerry Rice to keep running that inside slant route, his favorite pattern.

I could see taking Julius Peppers out for Bruce Smith...that makes sense.
