Guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 I'll get my punter pick over with. Not that I'd use him much, but when I did, he'd pin the opponents down deep. Shane Lechler. * 3x Pro Bowl selection (2001, 2004, 2007) * 5x All-Pro selection (2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2007)
CanadianChris Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 I had the same idea...I'm going with possibly the best punter not named Ray Guy: Sean Landeta, P Punts 1,401 Punting Yards 60,707 Punting Avg 43.3 2x Pro Bowl selection (1986, 1990) 5x All-Pro selection (1985, 1986, 1989, 1990, 1994) 2x Super Bowl champion (XXI, XXV) NFL 1980s All-Decade Team NFL 1990s All-Decade Team
Bored Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 Jeff Van Note, Center Atlanta Falcons 1968-1986 5-time Pro Bowl Selection Missed only four games in his 19 year career
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 Van Note was where I was going to go before I decided on Wojisdfgjcz.
Kahran Ramsus Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 For some reason I always get stuck with the time expiring in the middle of the night.
Fökai Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 Bored picks at possibly the worst times where I can't access a computer. Hold up a bit...
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 I have Kahran's pick, but I'm working at home tonight. Take your sweetass time.
Fökai Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 Introducing my new back-up quarterback, slot receiver and all-purpose return man... . Antwaan Randle El.
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 Kahran selects: LB-Joe Fortunato Five time pro-bowler, big tough I-talian linebacker that played for the Bears back in the 50s and 60s. Had a brief coaching career after his playing days. Not bad.
Gert T Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 With my 22nd pick, I select: Mel Gray/KR-PR 4 Time Pro Bowler 3 Time All Pro 6 KR TD 3 PR TD
Lt. Al Giardello Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 Lomas Brown, OT 7x Pro Bowl selection (1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996) 7x All-Pro selection (1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1994, 1995, 1996) 1x Super Bowl champion (XXXVII) Ricky Watters, RB 5x Pro Bowl selection (1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996) 3x All-Pro selection (1994, 1995, 1996) Super Bowl Champion (XXIX) With my move of picking up Ricky Watters, I'm moving Jim Brown to his natural position FB.
Kahran Ramsus Posted August 12, 2008 Report Posted August 12, 2008 I don't see Gert T around so I will pick. There are two fundamental rules in building a winning football team. 1) Run the ball. 2) Stop the run. With that in mind... DT Pat Williams * 2x Pro Bowl selection (2006, 2007) * 1x All-Pro second team selection (2007) My opponents might as well abandon running up the middle.
Bored Posted August 12, 2008 Report Posted August 12, 2008 It's scary how much Gert and I think alike on our picks as I had Gray pegged for this round.
Gert T Posted August 12, 2008 Report Posted August 12, 2008 Sorry for the delay in my pick, first match of the season today, 1-0! Reggie Roby/P 3 Time Pro Bowler 2 Time All Pro NFL 1980's Team
Fökai Posted August 12, 2008 Report Posted August 12, 2008 Like I mentioned earlier, my plan involved drafting defensive tackles who were adept ends as well. This man was a force at the line when I was growing up, the bright spot of an otherwise boring (and sometimes terrible) Browns team. I can imagine how bad that defense would've been without Clay Matthews and this man. Being incredibly quick at both positions, the Browns would shift him from nose guard to lead pass-rusher on the same drive without batting an eye. Too bad this guy was overshadowed by the large...umm...shadow of his older brother... Michael Dean Perry. 6'1", 285 lbs. 6 Pro Bowls ('89-'91, '93, '94 and '96) 4 All-Pro selections (1st team: '89 and '90, 2nd team: '93 and '94) Career (1988-97) - 61 sacks (2nd in Browns franchise history behind Matthews), 470 tackles (4th all-time, but most all-time by a lineman) It's now on his wiki, but I remember Gaines Adams being scouted and hearing that he tied MDP's Clemson University school record of 28 sacks.
Guest Vitamin X Posted August 12, 2008 Report Posted August 12, 2008 It's scary how much Gert and I think alike on our picks as I had Gray pegged for this round. You're not alone there, either.
Bored Posted August 12, 2008 Report Posted August 12, 2008 This man could do a lot of things but he'll be my return specialist. Ollie Matson, Kick Returner Chicago Cardinals 1952-1958 Los Angeles Rams 1959-1962 Detroit Lions 1963 Philadelphia Eagles 1964-1966 Hall of Fame - 1972 6-time Pro Bowl Selection 5-time 1st Team All-Pro 9 Return TDs (6 Kicks, 3 Punts)
CanadianChris Posted August 12, 2008 Report Posted August 12, 2008 I'll complete the offensive line with right guard (and wine connoisseur): Chris Hinton, RG 7x Pro Bowler 1x All-Pro selection (1993)
Guest Posted August 12, 2008 Report Posted August 12, 2008 I'll fill out my offensive line with ESPN pile of shit Mark Schlereth. * 2x Pro Bowl selection (1991, 1998) * 3x Super Bowl champion (XXVI, XXXII, XXXIII)
Gert T Posted August 12, 2008 Report Posted August 12, 2008 MDP is a great pick, and another great example of how many great players there are in the history of the game. It seems like their are 2-3 picks each round where I say, "Damn, why didn't I think of him."
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted August 13, 2008 Report Posted August 13, 2008 Both jwest and Broward's time has expired.
Broward83 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Posted August 13, 2008 Punter - Matt Turk Hasn't had a punt blocked in ages..
jwest27 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Posted August 13, 2008 Sorry, internet went out. Luckily my dude is still there (couldn't find a decent/not huge picture, though). WR Harold Jackson 5 Pro Bowls 3 All Pros 10,372 Receiving Yards He averaged 17.9 yards per catch for his career, so I figure he'll be a pretty good deep threat for Staubach.
Guest Vitamin X Posted August 13, 2008 Report Posted August 13, 2008 Awesome. So now I get to take... K/OT/DT Lou Groza Pro Bowls: 9 Honors: NFL 1950s All-Decade Team A fucking kicking lineman. You'll never see that in today's NFL. Groza wasn't even particularly small, but he'd be more suited to play fullback or something in this day and age. With another 25 pounds or so, though, this guy would take the spot at RG, being about the same size as LG Randy Cross on my team, plus of course he would handle the placekicking duties and provide depth on the defensive line when needed.
Kahran Ramsus Posted August 13, 2008 Report Posted August 13, 2008 I was hoping he would fall to my next pick, but I didn't expect it. I had him as the #2 kicker behind the Dane.
Guest Vitamin X Posted August 13, 2008 Report Posted August 13, 2008 I just like versatility, and because it's a fucking lineman kicking. They even named the best college kicker award after him!
Just John Posted August 13, 2008 Report Posted August 13, 2008 Since the one position I'm missing that most people don't have is the punter, I'll take: Chris Gardocki - P 1x Pro Bowl 1x All Pro 1x SB Champ Never had a punt blocked in his 16 year career Not much to say here, it's the punter. Hopefully most of his field time will be as a holder for PAT's, but if it's a punting situation, I like Gardocki's quick two-step release to get the ball away and send it a good distance. 0/1177 punts blocked is no fluke, and he played on some bad teams that were punting a lot over the course of his career.
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 It's now time for the first of my two potentially controversial offensive decisions. Bo Jackson You want versatile? There's versatile. Only man to ever be named an all-pro in two different sports. Racked up around 3000 yards in a horribly shortened but brilliant career. He's not going to be my primary weapon here, obviously, just like he wasn't in LA behind Marcus Allen, but I'm tailoring this offense to grind clock and opponents, rest my D, and run it, run it, and run it some more. RBBC with interesting and dissimilar all-pros from different eras in Dorsett, Cannon, and Bo. I'm picking him soleley based on that flash of a prime and the fact that he was the most amazing physical specimen in sports at the time. Unofficially once ran a sub 4.2 40.
MFer Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Well, I'm gonna do something similar here. First, I'm gonna appoint Gale Sayers as my primary return man. Sayers is a player that I want to use in every way possible, plus he made the NFL's 75th Anniversary team as a RB and a KR so why not? He's arguably the greatest kick returner of all time with a record-tying 6 returns for TD's and an obscene 30.6 yards per KR, a record by a full yard. And although he didn't return enough punts to qualify for the record, his 14.5 average is outstanding. To make that change though, I need to pick up another RB so Sayers doesn't get worn out. Jerome Bettis 6x Pro Bowl selection (1993, 1994, 1996, 1997, 2001, 2004) 3x All-Pro selection (1993, 1996, 1997) 1993 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year 1996 NFL Comeback Player of the Year 2001 Walter Payton Man of the Year Super Bowl XL Champion One of my all-time favorite players, "The Bus" brings more power to my rushing attack and will wear down oppsing D's. Him and Sayers will create the latest version of Thunder & Lightning. And then there will be spots where Bettis and Motley are in the same backfield together...that's 500 pounds right there. Getting the NFL's 5th leading rusher of all-time is a nice find for me this late in the draft.
