Jetsfan80 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Well done! I'll take a crack at it: NOTE: I went with a 4-3 defensive look to change it up a bit. I also cut out the ST spot and replaced it with another CB spot. After all, you had 13 offensive slots, so I didn't think there was a need to restrict defense to just 11 guys.

Montana was injured and missed almost two full seasons and was traded to KC by request and won the division title with them for the first time in over 20 years. He was also 36 years old then and players actually hit the QB then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedBeardedSavage Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 When I think about 'super teams' I think about my favorite two sides of the ball I've ever seen: The 2002 Bucs defense and the early 2000's Chiefs offense Priest Holems was a good runningback but goddam look at the o-line play here: And now for the 2002 Bucs defense... 40 interceptions: Maybe it's because I was a teenager during these times, but these two have always stuck with me. I desperately want an offense with that type of offensive line and a defense with that ability to force turnovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like your list. I would switch a couple of players though. Jerry Rice as wide receiver, and Tom Brady at quarterback. Defensive coordinator is a person that can be filled with a few different people. Rice was much, much better than Randy Moss IMO. That defense I would leave alone. They would terrorize any team. With that linebacking group and D line, I think that would scare anyone, no matter who they were. You can not remove Dick Butkus from this group. He is as terrifying as Ray Lewis. I remember OJ Simpson saying the only player he was afraid of was Dick Butkus; he was the real deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On defense, I think Lewis is better than Lambert, but together I’d take Lambert and Ed Reed over Lewis and Polamalu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also thinking Marino and Shula but they were only with Miami and Shula was never just a OC, Manning was another option because the OC wouldn’t matter then because he’d be the OC anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycdan Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 A lot depends on the type of offense you want to run. Although Barry was amazing, and would be even more so behind this line, I'm not sure he's the guy I'd pick for this. If I wanted Thunder and Lightning, I'd go with Jim Brown or Earl Campbell on the one hand, and someone like Marshall Faulk or even LDainian Tomlinson on the other because of what he opens up in the receiving game. Not saying they were better than Sanders, but how many times can you really hand Barry the ball when you have Jim Brown in your backfield. Faulk or Tomlinson you can run play-action with. On defense, if you are going 4-3 you really have to have Mean Joe on the field. You can not put a guy like Sapp ahead of him in any scenario. My only other observation is that I would not have Deion and Darrell Green as my starting CBs. Deion sure. But you need a CB that can press and be physical. Someone had Woodson, which is good. You could argue for Mel Blount if you want to just murder the opposing WR. But Darrell Green wouldn't be able to do anything to Randy Moss, Andre Johnson, or any of the other great 6'4"+ WRs I've seen listed. And honestly, if you didn't put Randy Moss in your list, you need to re-examine it. He is far and away the most dominant player at that position we've ever seen. I don't think it's even close. And it's amazing that nobody listed Rice, but I do get it. Just weird. @Sarge4Tide w/ the monster poll for this in 3...2...1... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's far and away the best player OR coach in franchise history, at any position, unless you go WAY back in time to pick someone. The only other Lion I considered was LB Joe Schmidt. Not only do you have to try to maximize the talent at each position, you have to maximize the talent you're taking from each franchise. It's a fun little puzzle to figure out.

Unless you can swap the same positions and teams it turns into switching out 3, 4 or 5 players. As far as Sanders and Brown in the backfield, imagine trying to stop both of them (you can’t catch one or tackle the other) while still covering Moss and Johnson on the outside and Gonzales or Harrison. Detroit as well as a few other teams only have a handful of players you could choose from. The Lions have Sanders, Megatron, Barney or Schmidt. That’s not a big selection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting out, I initially had both Mean Joe and Earl Campbell in my lineups but eventually moved them out because of every team needing representation. I struggled with getting a few teams representation knowing there were much better players at those positions. In no way does my lineup represent the very best at every position and would probably change somethings if I wanted to take more time on it. Also, I have Jerry Rice in my lineup. Rice, Moss, and LT were 3 players that I felt were non negotiable along with Lombardi for coaches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
