thinking about it, i probably would too. I was looking into the explosiveness of Leon Washington and i got enamored by that. I guess im not a complete believer of Clifton Smith but he can easily prove me wrong this season with another strong campaign.

[Gay Ork Wang]

yea but the difference between Revis and Trufant is a lot bigger then Smith and Washington imo

[noggin]

I'm looking at:

QB Peyton Manning (Indy)
RB Steven Jackson (St. Louis)
WR1 Calvin Johnson (Detroit)
WR2 Andre Johnson (Houston)
WR3 Larry Fitzgerald (Arizona)
TE Antonio Gates (SD)
LT Michael Roos (Tennesee)
LG Justin Blalock (Atl)
C Ryan Kalil (Carolina)
RG Chris Snee (NYG)
RT Ryan Clady (Denver)

NT Kris Jenkins (NYJ)
DE Kevin Williams (Vikings)
DE Albert Haynesworth (Washington)
OLB Demarcus Ware (Dallas)
OLB James Harrison (Pittsburgh)
ILB Patrick Willis (SF)
ILB Aaron Curry (Seattle) (could also be Lofa Tatupu if you don't want to allow rookies)
CB Resean Mathis (JAX)
CB Nnamdi Asomugha (Oakland)
SS Nick Collins (GB)
FS Ed Reed (Baltimore)

PR Devin Hester (Chicago)
KR Josh Cribbs (Cleveland)
P Dustin Colquitt (KC)
K Shayne Graham (Cincy)
LS Andrew Economos (Tampa Bay)

OC Pete Carmichael Jr. (NO)
DC Jim Johnson (Philly)
Coach Bill Belichick (NE)
GM Bill Parcells (Miami) (let's face, it he's the GM)
Owner Ralph Wilson (Buffalo)

I'm not in love with my SS even though he had 7 picks last season. But I don't see a significant upgrade at any of the other 21 starting positions, so it seemed time to settle down.

Alternative would be Polamalu, Merriman, Kellen Winslow Jr., and Green Bay's long snapper. Problem with that obviously being whether I can trust Green Bay's boy in the clutch.

yea and upgrading the CB spot is more important that improving the return game, but its not a total downgrade with Clifton Smith. Last year was a down year for Marcus Trufant, but i still feel that he can be an elite corner in this league, but I have to say that Darrelle Revis is one of the best young corners in the league right now

Thats a weird choice, Sean Payton basicly does his job (better than his own I might add)

This is an extremely young yet (mostly) proven offense which should be around for a while and improve over time. It should be one of the most balanced units in the league with the best RB in the league running the football and some of the best targets in the league catching the ball from arguably the youngest franchise QB in the NFL, who should only continue to improve with all the talent around him on this offense. I think this would be quite a fun unit to watch.

RE Haloti Ngata (Ravens)
NT B.J. Raji (Packers)
LE Tyson Jackson (Chiefs)
SOLB Mathias Kiwanuka (Giants)
SILB David Harris (Jets)
WILB Patrick Willis (49ers)
WOLB DeMarcus Ware (Cowboys)
CB Nnamdi Asomugha (Raiders)
FS LaRon Landry (Redskins)
SS Adrian Wilson (Cardinals)
CB Ron Bartell (Rams)

I went with a 3-4 since no one else was doing it, also because of who I'm picking as my head coach. Youth and versatility are large themes here, with Ngata and Raji both being capable of getting after the QB as well as being walls against the run, Ware and Kiwi being a pretty scary pass rushing combo for just about any QB, Willis being the leader/Mr. Everything and Harris the run thumper in the middle. In the secondary, Adrian Wilson would likely play a role similar to that of Troy Polamalu, Asomugha would shut out just about any team's #1 WR, Bartell would hold his own against #2 WRs, and Landry would be an excellent last line of defense.

K Shayne Graham (Bengals)
P Brian Moorman (Bills)
KR Chris Johnson (Titans)
PR Reggie Bush (Saints)
LS Bryan Pittman (Seahawks)

Lots of athleticism and ability on special teams. Moorman is probably the most athletic punter in the league, and would probably get the team a first down or two on punt fakes, Chris Johnson would not only be an excellent KR with his blazing speed, but would also team with AD to form the most electrifying backfield tandem the NFL has ever seen, and Reggie Bush adds to that dynamic as not only one of the best PRs in the league, but also as a RB/WR weapon that would give the offense much more flexibility. Add in one of the best kickers in the league and a solid LS, and you've got a pretty solid ST unit.

OC Josh McDaniels (Broncos)
DC Jim Johnson (Eagles)
HC Bill Belichick (Patriots)
GM Bill Polian (Colts)
Owner Dan Rooney (Steelers)

I wanted an owner who I knew would do things the right way, and considering who my head coach is, would make sure things are done the right way, and when you think football owners, one of the first 2 or 3 names that comes to mind will be Rooney, they definitely know how to run an organization and do it the right way. Next, I wanted a great drafter, so I picked the best drafter in the NFL today in Bill Polian, who rarely if ever misses on a first round selection, frequently find late round and UDFA gems, and also happens to be a guru of offensive talent evaluation. To counterbalance the offensive bias of my GM, I pick Bill Belichick as my head coach, who is arguably the best defensive talent evaluator in the league, and has the added bonuses of a proven track record of putting together great defenses and developing young QBs with his offensive system by building their confidence up then giving them more and more responsibility. To run that system, I bring in Josh McDaniels as my OC, who has a proven track record of making Belichick's offensive system work and helping to develop young QBs. Finally, I add Jim Johnson as my DC simply because I think putting the minds of Bill Belichick and Jim Johnson together might possibly create the best defensive scheme we've ever seen, it would certainly be interesting to see what those two could come up with, and fun to watch.

EDIT: For fun and to fill out a roster, I decided to make a backup team following these rules: 1) Any player that started the 2008 season as the starter on his team's depth chart can't be picked 2) Any player that started 8+ games during the 2008 season can't be picked 3) Any player from the 2009 draft class can't be picked 4) One player from each of the 32 teams must be selected. If you'd like to do the same, feel free.

CB Leodis McKelvin (Bills)
CB Fred Bennett (Texans)
CB Antoine Cason (Chargers)
S Corey Lynch (Bengals)
S Kenny Phillips (Giants)

Decided to make three changes to my team (all bolded). Changed to Bartell at CB, Landry at FS, and Pittman at LS. Much as I wanted to keep Red Beard, Landry and Bartell IMO make my team MUCH better. I still left the original post as is, because, as stated, you mess with Ethan Albright, you call down the thunder.
