Lith Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 Thank you, @Patriot Killa for restoring my faith in Jet fans by taking Wesley Walker. Such a great, underrated big play receiver. @HessStation is up @T0mShane on deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any monkey can pick a bunch of players with HOF or pro bowls after their name and say they'll adjust. That should be a consideration in voting for teams.

I paid careful attention to making sure I got a LG and a RG, a LT and a RT, and a LDE and a RDE for my lineups. Not just grabbing two guys and assume one would move over. Did I pass up a slightly more talented player who would have had to move out of position? Not sure but possibly. But I stuck to my plan. All my guys played in a 4-3 defense. Pretty much all my OL are quick and can pull. I probably put way more thought into this than I should have but it was fun so the satisfaction was in the process. Now comes the part where you clowns tell me why Gene Upshaw doesn't have a chance in hell of blocking 'Random DT #2 from the 2000s' because size and speed...

All I'm saying is that it would be a plus if someone can imagine these players playing together in a coordinated fashion and not bumping into each other or flaming out.

Only a jackass would make such an argument as this. Your team should be judged based on the value of the player and how he dominated THEIR era. Upshaw, for instance, was an absolute BEAST. He was like King Kong on that Raider OL. I saw him play throughout his entire career and no one to this date comes close. Then you have a guy in the 40’s or 50’s who was a HOF T or HOF DT that is way lighter than today’s standards. Totally different era going up against totally different level of athletes BUT they TOTALLY dominated. This particular scenario has to hold more weight than a player today who’s rated very good compared to a HOF player from the golden era. Of course schemes are taken into account.

This particular scenario has to hold more weight than a player today who’s rated very good compared to a HOF player from the golden era. Of course schemes are taken into account. Totally agreed. But looking at this honestly, I am probably just as likely to overvalue the guys I grew up watching - Upshaw, Mean Joe, Earl, OJ, etc. as opposed to the guys from before that era. I get it and it'll take some effort to really look at the whole of each team. But yes, the system matters. Part of the challenge was trying to stay true to that system as we got into the deeper rounds. I have areas where I am not super happy, but I expected that and did the best I could with the players on the board. Most of you were brutal in taking guys I wanted right before my pick.

My sinister plan was to grab as many Steel Curtain guys as I could. Was doing well with Greene and Lambert but someone snagged Blount way quicker than I expected (not that he wasn't worth the pick there) and then Ham went. I was hoping to sneak in Donnie Shell but couldn't quite get there in time. In a 12-team league that can actually work and it's certainly answers the system question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s where your GM wits have to take over. There are only so many ‘elite’ players at every position. How we all approached our teams is quite interesting. Whether some valued DL over OL over WR over secondary is how this all plays out.i stayed religious to my formula instead of jumping all over the place with best player available because ultimately, you’re going to have to select 2nd tier players.

T0mShane Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 My receivers and backs are prolific, but lack speed and I biffed my LB corps a bit with Sean Lee and Sam Mills playing out of position. But, I love my o-line, secondary, and d-line, and Big Ben to Keith Jackson would be immortal. All in all, I’m a B- squad, but this was fun to play. It’s fun to reminisce about these old players you forgot about when the league was actually appointment television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
