I've been able to assemble everyone's lineup except @#27TheDominator's.  The error there is he only has 4 O-Linemen.  Not sure if that was already resolved. 

Dom was using Bednarik as his Center.  I think he was going to play him two ways -- C & LB, so he used the roster flexibility to draft a nickel back.

Thanks.  Sorry.  I have been on vacation.  I am playing Bednarick at C.  I thought I posted that about 10 times, but I forget that nobody pays attention to me! Against Stark I would rest Bednarick on D because he plays 3 WRs.  Just use the Bednarick 3-4 on shorter yardage/run situations.  I would use the Hammer as a nickel and to help contain Cunningham. I can try and post something if it is not too late.

@nyjunc you need to replace one of your skill players with a UDFA offensive lineman. 

 

I have 5 OL, I need to release a DL and add a LB.  I will release Neil Smith and add:

 

LB Chad Brown(3x PB, 2x 1st team all pro)

 

Offense

QB Otto Graham

RB Lenny Moore

I do not know what kind of format I am supposed to use and I can't download anything here unless it is something simple to do on the phone.

Elway QB

Priest Holmes RB

Keith Byars FB/TE

Ron Yary RT

Jerry Kramer RG

Chuck Bednarik C

Will Shields LG

Mike Kenn LT

Julio Jones WR

Roy Green WR 

Bob Hayes Slot

I would pull Holmes at times and run Night Train for 4 WR sets.  Bubble screens and jet sweeps for Hayes and Green

DE Buck Buchanan

NT Jamal Williams

DE Rulon Jones

OLB Rickey Jackson

MLB Bill Bergey

OLB Shawne Merriman

CB Night Train Lane

CB Roger Wehrli

S Jake Scott

S Deron Cherry

Nickel Fred Williamson

I can put Bednarik back in the lineup for short yardage - both Cherry and Scott are more than capable in coverage - Williamson is a bigger corner that can be used in run support and to contain Cunningham.  Stark runs 3-wide, so I would probably keep the 5 DBs on the field unless he is running a refrigerator style defensive lineman at FB type play.  His WRs are all bigger and not quite as fast, so I would be cheating safeties up a bit and trying to funnel any caught balls to get pounded by Bergey as much as possible.

Thanks.  I just typed a bunch of crap out above.  I can try an app if that is not good enough, but I would have to use my phone and my typing on there leaves much to be desired - when you see a ton of extra words, misspellings and no capital letters, that usually means I posted from the phone.

[Jetsfan80]

Thanks guys, we're all set now.  I'll post 2 more matchups this afternoon. 

[#27TheDominator]

For the record, it pained me to leave Marion Motley undrafted. I really wanted to pick him up as a short yardage guy to taunt @T0mShane for taunting me about picking guys from the 1952 Browns. @nyjunc is starting Otto Graham, so it isn't a complete loss. 

I felt I needed the versatility that Byars offered. Byars is the type of guy that almost assuredly is not one of the top guys to play, but he can fill in the voids and let the other superstars do their thing without worrying about less important things. He has enough pedigree (#10 overall, consensus all-america, led NCAA in yards and TDs, caught, ran for, threw and kick return for TD in college, caught, ran, threw in NFL) to belong with the cream of the crop.

I don't get it.  Stark is playing twice?  

nyjunc is dropping guys and making waiver claims? Is he doing it in the right thread or is he still picking guys that were already picked?

My match presentation (I'll be at work @Jetsfan80

 

BUSH BARONS

 

Offense: A Weiss/McDaniels spinoff with the Brady-sandbox playcalling... the offense runs through Foster w/ play action to Graham and Chrebet (yea, Tom Brady and Wayne Chrebet.... imagine. 

• QB: Tom Brady
• RB: Arian Foster
• WRs: AJ Green, Reggie Wayne & Wayne Chrebet
• TE: Jimmy Graham
• Oline: Joe Thomas, Russ Grimm, LeCharles Bentley, Lincoln Kennedy, Jason Peters

Defense: Running an aggressive Shwartz-esque 4-3 that flexes into 5-2 often -- (Tamba Hali dropping down) and focuses on disrupting play timing and the pass rush. Like every man into the backfield - stuff. Between Miller/Sapp/Jenkins/Kearse.... I feel confident we can take some chances -- the Barons will survive with Willis and Lynch on CYA duty. Deangelo adds versatility as a FS who can easily slide into Nickle coverage if needed.

• Dline: Von Miller, Warren Sapp, Kris Jenkins, Jevon Kearse
• LBs: Patrick Willis, Tamba Hali, Mo Lewis
• CBs: Lester "the molester" Hayes, and Terence Newman
• Safety: John Lynch & Deangelo Hall

 

You can't win both battles when you're in the bush... One of Baron's two units is going to control the game.

Thanks!  

I think I'll stagger the final 3 matchups tomorrow.  The 2 that were posted today are not close, so there isn't a huge detriment to starting the next day's matchups early.  I'll try to do one at 10 AM, one at noon, and the last at 2.  

[Jetsfan80]

The first of the 3 final matchups of Round 1.  @Dunnie - @Paradis and @nyjunc - @BallinPB will be posted at about noon and 2 PM, respectively.  

The 2 matchups from yesterday probably won't get too many more votes, if any.  Here's the updated standings.  I've put a line where the "score to beat" is.  Teams above that line are safe, for now.  Teams below the line are in very serious danger of elimination.

BigO and New York Mick are officially eliminated.  Barring a major comeback in the final 4+ hours of that matchup, sourceworx is out too.

Honestly, a big reason you lost the matchup, to me, was taking Joe Montana over Lawrence Taylor at # 2 overall.  Montana was undeniably great, but QB was a position you could afford to wait on in this format.  Taylor is so far and away the best pass rusher, he makes whatever team he's on instantly have a huge edge. 

Hawkeye is set up to be the # 2 overall seed with LT.  He has Terry Bradshaw as his QB.  Not special by any means, but serviceable.  It doesn't hurt that he doubled down on the pass rush by also grabbing Andre Tippett and Lee Roy Selmon.

My front 7 has a just as much if not more passrush as Hawkeye with Montana. Obviously LT was great but I’d put him, White and Jones at the same level. As I said my line was set up to block LT. His line has Woody blocking on an all time team. Huge weakness. Bradshaw would of been killed. 

[Jetsfan80]

Gonna post the next matchup here in a few minutes, but set the deadline for noon tomorrow. 

[Jetsfan80]

Despite first round losses, @Jetlife33 and @King P Round 2 spots along with the 8 first round winners.  While neither of them can be seeded any higher than 12 for the 2nd round, at least they're in!

With Mick, Source, and BigO eliminated, that just leaves things up to today's matchups to determine the fates of Dom, Shane and nycdan. 6 playoff spots are up for grabs at the moment, with 3 of them coming from the pool of 1st round losers.

@#27TheDominator made a nice comeback today to put himself on the good side of the bubble.
