This is definitely the closest vote we've had. Surprised at the lack of discussion, though.

BamaFalcon59 · 05-15-2009, 08:59 PM

And Thomas Jones should be starting for the AFC East.

Outside of Revis... that secondary isn't exactly scary either. Whats to say Ward, OchoCinco, mason, Holmes, Etc. wouldn't easily exploit that group?

Revis and Rhodes both need to be there. I don't think Whitner and Bell are better than Rhodes.

Over Marshawn Lynch?

Mr. Stiller · 05-15-2009, 10:30 PM

I'm sorry.

I see Ike Taylor 1 on 1 with TO shutting him down.

I see Reed giving over the top help to Hall/Joseph with Moss.

I see Welker getting crushed by Polamalu/Farrior/Lewis if he tries to open up the middle of the field.

And I see Suggs, Woodley and Harrison having their way with those OT's.

I see them having an easier time with that offense than the East defense having with the Norths offense. What it lacks in Speed (outside Williams, Holmes, Parker, Mendenhall) It certainly makes up for in Wily Veterans who know how to exploit defenses, especially in the case of Mason/Ward.

Nalej · 05-15-2009, 11:03 PM

This whole I. Taylor will lock down T.O. *no hesitation* is laughable.
I won't debate the fact that he didn't do it but so has other CBs in certain games.
T.O. is a gamer and the second you think that you DON'T have to worry 'bout him is the time that'll burn you for 3 TDs.

steel man · 05-15-2009, 11:39 PM

i can not believe no one has said anything about All-pro Casey Hampton. it takes 2-3 guys just to move him, he would stop any running attempt.

i know it is laughable to think T.O. is even near an All-pro and could do anything against Ike anyway

the East may only have 7 worthy reserves but the North has many more then listed....

Timmons (Pit) is one of the if not the most versatile LBers in the NFL. He is one of the hardest hitting players in the game, can cover any TE and most 3rd WR's, and a great blitzing LBer. he is a man among kids.

Hampton (Pit) is an All-pro and considered the best NT in the 3-4 defence in the NFL

Homes (Pit) a SB MVP and he is not on the list, he needs to be added.

Mendenhall (Pit) has not got to prove himself but he will be great

Flacco (Bal) is a good young QB

Palmer (Cin) is a great QB, enough said

McGahee (Bal) when healthy is a good player

Rivers (Cin) a really solid LBer

"Tank" Johnson (Cin) a good player if he stays out of trouble

Coles (Cin) is a solid WR

Roy Williams (Cin), Leonard (Cin) - good players

Lewis (Clev) still a better then avg RB

TitanHope · 05-16-2009, 12:37 AM

Since when did Ike Taylor all of the sudden become an All-Pro?

He's a good Corner, but gimme a break...

SuperMcGee · 05-16-2009, 01:18 AM

I'll vote for the North, but I don't care for how some people expect that Welker would be handled rather easily.

All this mentioning of Santonio Holmes against none for Lee Evans is also odd to me.

Actually, Casey Hampton has never been an all-pro. But you know was?

Richard Seymour, Vince Wilfork, Kris Jenkins AND Marcus Stroud.

A receiver who has never reached 1,000 in a season on your all pro team? Awesome.

Who said you didn't have to worry about TO? Thats why we put Ike Taylor on him.

His 3/32 performance was anything to brag about. He was single covered by Ike Taylor in the game.

if Ike Taylor could catch I have no hesitation believing he'd push for an all-pro list.

Guy is lockdown, just can't catch balls that hit his hands for ****.

Did someone just call Roy Williams a good player?

I know right? All Welker did the past 2 years was abuse the men covering him for 111 catches each year. Timmons could not lock him down every play...I don't think any one player (outside of a few lockdown corners) could, and even then he's still going to get his. Plus Evans should definitely be in the discussion for the AFCE.

So Taylor locks TO down one game and all of a sudden he beats him every time? If you want to man up on TO, and have Leon Hall and a safety over the top on Moss then Welker is either being covered by the other safety or a LB, advantage Welker. I really doubt the AFCE would start a FB, and even if they did Keller would probably line up in the other slot as an H-back type.

I'm not saying it would always work or be easy, but the AFCE offense would be able to move the ball and score points. The running game would be very limited to say the least, but there are ways of neutralizing the pass rush somewhat (i.e. 3 step drops, screens, etc.).

The Great Jonathan Vilma · 05-16-2009, 03:34 PM

Some of this Steeler hype is pretty rediculous. The fact that i've heard Mendenhall's name on more than one occasion just kills me. Give it up quick.

As soon as you mention Roy Williams, i question using you as a credible source.

Ike Taylor is a solid corner, but he isn't the god you are hyping him up to be. You keep saying that he shut TO out therefore he will obviously do it again, which is looking at the situation in a very narrow and biased manner.

You keep throwing Holmes out there like he's some HoF'er. His SB performance was very strong. Welker has also had some good games/seasons in the recent past. I also vaguely recall Moss/Brady/Welker being the center of a pretty impressive offense fairly recently.

I'm not saying the North wouldn't win, but some of the reasoning and homer comments are rediculous (Steeler fans in particular)

That is what I have for the East team in the AFC East division forum. There is a lot of talent and a lot of depth, and I think it would be a great game. However, I think there are some people who are undervaluing some East players Vilma and SuperMcGee said. The North definitely has some studs, especially on defense, but some people are giving the North a little too much of an edge over the East.

The North would have a great front 7, but the East has a great line. The North would have a great secondary, but the East has an elite QB throwing to some of the best receivers in the NFL not to mention RB's who can make plays as receivers. I am not saying the East would dominate I'm just saying it would be a great and very evenly matched game.

So, what if the other Safety is Troy?

My point has been yeah, this is a high powered offense and yeah they could score a lot of points.

My issue is the posts that go:

Tom Brady + Randy Moss + TO = Auto-Win.

Sure, there's a possibility Ike wouldn't shut TO down again, but the difference is he proved he can do it, so it's not out of the question as people are making it.

Sure there's probably going to be scoring, but at the same time, I think it's just unnerving to see people undercut this secondary just because they're facing Moss/Brady/TO.

Forgetting the Best FS/SS in the league are in the deep centerfield, and that Ike Has shown he can cover these guys.

eaglesalltheway · 05-16-2009, 05:03 PM

Voted North, the trenches win again... That front 7 for the North is killer. Really close though.
