Football fans: let's build the greatest team ever.

[Meth]

So on offense. You have to be versatile. The best way to be versatile is to play single back and have a Tight End that can get vertical as well as block. In this offense, blocking is more important, because most the time we want to be able to pass and run with a 3 receiver set. I think the best running backs ever are Jim Brown, Walter Payton, and Barry Sanders. In that order. However, Barry would be the best for this offense. The other 2 were more grind it out runners, Brown especially.

So let's put Barry as our main back with Gale Sayers as his number 2.

Quarterback I'm taking Brady. I'm not discussing it. He gets the job done and he beats other elite teams with regularity. He's fiery as well as emotional, which is good.

I want Bronco Nagurski at Full back when the team would have goal line or i form sets.

The receivers.

Rice. Obviously.

The other is where there could be a lot of debate. Personally I want a field stretcher. Rice is the prototype for possession receivers and did it better than anyone. So we don't need another. Anyway, I'm taking Moss.

He's a touchdown machine and his hayday was a blur, athletically superior, and hands of glue.

Slot receiver. I know in the other thread I said Wes welker was the best slot receiver ever, and he is. However , I'm taking someone who didn't play in the slot, but I fell easily could.

Tory Holt. He's of smaller stature, and has an insane ability to find the openings in zones like he's been there before. One of the best route runners ever and great hands is icing on the cake.

Tight End is Tony Gonzalez. Cool thanks.

Left Tackle.

I'm taking Art Shell.

Left Guard.

Gene Upshaw

He spent most of his career with art shell so they have chemistry

Center

Mike Webster.

He ridiculously consistent for so long for the steel curtain led Steeler teams.

Right Guard

I'm going Steve Hutchinson


He won 7 all pros in a row with Seattle and Minnesota.

That's ridiculous. He spent most of his career opening up holes for Shawn Alexander and Adrian Peterson.

Right Tackle.

Orlando Pace

He spent most of his career at left tackle but with how good he was it'd be ignorant to think he couldn't switch sides and still dominate.

Defense.

Were gonna run a 3-4. It allows more variation.

Nose tackle.

Vince Wilfork. He's incredible. Just absolutely incredible.

Defensive Ends

Haloti Ngata

@uh-oh can tell you why. Because if you don't know why, watch better.


Howie Long

Great size, speed, length and athleticism he's a perfect fit here.

Outside backers


Kevin Greene and Lawrence Taylor

Obviously.

Inside Backers

Ray Lewis and Dick Butkus.

Obviously.

Corners

Remember it's a 3-4 so most the time we want to jam.

That takes out one of the best in Deon Sanders.

So for me, the best 2 3-4 corners were Rod Woodson and Ronnie Lott. This is very much up for discussion.

Safeties.

Troy.

Perfect strong safety for a 3-4. Just perfect.

Steve Atwater.



Receivers would fear the middle and he was a sure tackler.

Ray Guy and Vinatieri

Dante Hall/Devin Hester to return kicks.

And boom. Best team ever.



The lineup would be...
QB: Brady
RB: Sanders, Sayers
FB: Nagurski
WR: Rice, Moss
SR: Holt, Largent
TE: Tony Gonzales
LT: Shell
LG: Upshaw
C: Webster
RG: Hutchinson
RT: Pace

Defense (3-4)

NT: Wilfork
LE: Ngata
RE: Long
OLB: Greene, Taylor
ILB: Lewis, Butkus
CB: Woodson, Lott
SS: Polomalu
FS: Atwater
K: Vinatieri
P: Guy
Returner: Hester
Let's discuss.

[Split]

Tim Tebow?

[uh-oh]

not positive on my o-line other than john ogden. i'd probably grab up another left tackle and move him to right tackle. guard wise the only dudes popping to mind is larry allen, and modern guys like marshall yanda and ben grubbs and shit like that. basically ravens guys lol

you would want to argue Atwater.

[CtrlF4]

well I like archaletta or w/e over troy still and marshall faulk over sayers...and I %100 agree with @uh-oh mike alstott pick

[Meth]

Adam Archaletta over Troy?

You're insane.

Troys a hall of famer.

Archaletta REALLY struggled on deep passes in his career especially when he want to the Redskins.
@Strikta could probably tell you that

[CtrlF4]

he was at the end of his like 20 year career also ...my nigga john lynch is GOD of the safety position

[Meth]

Uhm? No.

His first year with Washington was only his 5th in league.

And his career lasted 8 years

You've lost any credibility lol.

[CtrlF4]

Archuletta played longer than 8 years

[Meth]

If you count college, high school and pee wee maybe

[CtrlF4]

it seems like it anyway...and either way john lynch is my fav safety and Elway is my fav qb

[Adonis]

Will post one later...Sure someone already said it, but Ngata is not a DE brotha

[Meth]

He plays defensive end in a 3-4.

He'd be a DT in a 4-3.

@uh-oh to confirm.

[CtrlF4]

@NotMeth you really think troy is better than lynch

[Meth]

For a 3-4? Certainly. Not even a question .

Lynch played cover 2 his entire career.
