Blast From The Past

Splat · 05-15-2009, 10:06 AM

If you could add one O and one D player from your teams past dead or alive in their prime to your teams current roster who would they be?

My picks for the Chiefs.

O - Willie Roaf it all starts in the trenches and as much as I like Brandon Albert he is no Willie Roaf and moving him to RT would give the Chiefs a great set of OT's.

D - Derrick Thomas the Chiefs biggest need on D is by far getting a better pass rush and who better then DT to help in that area.

Honorable Mentions O - Tony Gonzalez,Will shields,Otis Taylor

Honorable Mentions D - Jared Allen,Buck Buchanan,Deron Cherry

Pass rush is the biggest need for NE right now. Bring back the recently inducted HOF'er, #56, Andre Tippett.

On offense: John Hannah. Hands down. SI called him "the best lineman of all time" . . . I won't argue.

This, and on offense I'd say John Hannah, HOF guard. Would replace Neal at RG, or shift Mankins to RG.

haha. I took too long editing in the second half for Hannah. I can't image any other player on either side of the ball being a better addition. Armstrong is probably the only one even getting an honorable mention since OT is such an important position.

Bears:

Offense: Walter Payton. Yeah we got Forte and could use a receiver, but we've never had an awesome receiver and Payton is a god. Great 1-2 punch with him and Forte.

Defense: Dick Butkus. Put him in the middle, slide the somewhat deteriorating Urlacher to SAM, have Briggs still at WILL. ******* AMAZING linebacking corps. Best ever perhaps.

Offense - Fred Biletnikoff

Honorable Mentions - Tim Brown, Art Shell, Gene Upshaw, Marcus Allen/Bo Jackson

Defense - Jack Tatum

Honorable Mentions - Ronnie Lott, Howie Long, Willie Brown

NIN1984 · 05-15-2009, 11:27 AM

Tim Brown and Howie Long

Ravens:

Offense: I was trying to think of an offensive weapon that the ravens had, but i cant think of any besides Jamal Lewis. If he was like he was in his 2000 yard season, the ravens would be tough to beat.

HM: Jonathan Ogden: Move Oher to guard, and Gaither to right.
LT: Ogden
LG: Grubbs
C: Birk
RG: Oher
RT: Gaither
that is a sick linee

Defense: Peter Boulware.
Since we run the 3-4 now, who best to bring back than the best pass rusher in ravens history. With both him and suggs attacking the ends, that would be a nightmare.
If we ran a 4-3, I would love to have Michael McCrary back. I loved his intensity and passion

The Saints choices suck with Archie Griffin being at the same position as our best players.

Offense: Deuce McCallister - Great complement to Reggie and was a beast in his prime.

Defense: LaRoi Glover - Team with Ellis and give a great D-Line, not a whole lot of great choices I could think of.

the_legend_killer · 05-15-2009, 11:30 AM

Minnesota Vikings

Offense- Fran Tarkenton (No question)

Defense- John Randle (Even though he played DT I think he could slide to the outside and play DE, he's not too big and he's quick. Front Four of Allen, Williams, Williams and Randle *drools)

Otherwise guys Carl Eller and Alan Page come into the mix too for that last D-Line spot.

Michigan · 05-15-2009, 11:34 AM

Lions

Offense: Barry Sanders (it doesn't matter how crappy of an OL you give him)

Defense: Robert Porcher (we absolutely NEED a pass rush)

Thumper · 05-15-2009, 11:36 AM

For the Eagles it would have to be:
Offense: Chuck Bendarik (He can play C and MLB :D)
Defense: Reggie White

absolutely true... he did so much with an awful OLine

YAYareaRB · 05-15-2009, 11:42 AM

Defense - Ronnie Lott

Ronnie Lott + Patrick Willis = End of the World

Offense - Joe Montana

Joe Montana + Frank Gore + Michael Crabtree = Insta-Boner

Mr. Stiller · 05-15-2009, 11:42 AM

Offense:

Dermontti Dawson... Best Center ever to play... would really add a huge improvement to our OL.

Mean Joe Greene.

Could you Imagine Joe Greene as the WDE in our 3-4..

Aaron Smith, Casey Hampton, Joe Greene...

DeepThreat · 05-15-2009, 11:44 AM

Offense:

Jim Brown - Is that even a question?

Defense:

Bill Willis

wonderbredd24 · 05-15-2009, 11:57 AM

Offense: Jim Brown

The greatest running back if not just the greatest football player of all time. Sammie Baugh has an argument, but that's about it.

Other Options: Otto Graham, arguably the greatest quarterback of all time, Paul Warfield, Ozzie Newsome, Lou Groza, etc

Defense: Eric Turner

Eric Turner hit like a truck and was a ballhawk. A member of one of the stingiest defenses of all time, the 1994 Cleveland Browns, Eric Turner had his best season of his career with 9 INTs. Turner was good enough at UCLA to be picked 2nd overall in the 1991 Draft.

Other Options: Len Ford, Bill Willis, Bob Golic, Frank Minnefield, Hanford Dixon, Eddie Johnson, etc
