Yes it may be weird, but Smith would be running a Cover 2 Base. With Grimes leaping and Samuel readings, i could play a depth version of cover 2. It was tough not choosing Hall at CB because his reaction time is unbelievable. But Hall can tackle better and is a lot faster playing that back half. My MLB will be dropping a lot more deeper then usual, and with Mays LB skills and sideline to sideline speed, he's PERFECT for my MLB. Ware is the best rusher in the league still to this day and is the best in run support as well. May not have the best speed at CB, but i'm C2 so im good.

Now on offense, Cutler and that arm and time to grow with this spread offense, i need a RB who can run routes. It sucks that Bush is always hurt or i would have chosen him, but McCoy is just as good as what McDaniels would like to do. He will run when i need him to and can actually run routes out of the backfield and flank. Nicks is unstoppable and Dez will be just as well. Throw the ball downfield like Cutler does, and watch them jump and go get it. Jason Witten for that security blanket and is the smartest TE i know in the run and pass game when it comes to blocking.

I'd actually like to see some realistic things here. Not just

Come on, put some thought into this.

Head Coach - Fire me, hire Bill Belichick
Offensive Coordinator- Josh McDaniels
Defensive Coordinator- Steve Spagnuolo

QB- Tom Brady
RB- Steven Jackson or MJD
WR- Calvin Johnson
WR- Wes Welker or Steve Smith (NYG)
TE- Heath Miller


DT- Haloti Ngata
DE- DeMarcus Ware
MLB- Patrick Willis
CB- Terrell Thomas
SS- Adrian Wilson

That said you're not winning anything without a solid OLine and/or DLine at the very least and I cant put much thought into something where and offensive and defensive line aren't included considering entire offenses and defenses can be schemed around their strengths and weaknesses.

Anyway, Tom Brady is elite and at the very worst he's very good. Steven Jackson and MJD are both very good runners that could provide a power running game but they're also significant receiving threats which is useful as Brady likes to throw to his backs. Calvin Johnson is a better version of Randy Moss who will also do more in the offense and be a great threat deep to open up things underneath and in the running game. Welker or Smith are solid route running guys great at finding the hole in zones and moving the chains. Heath Miller is a fantastic blocker at the tight end spot so he'd also be useful in any style running game. He's also a good receiver (and one of the most underutilized ones). Brady would make him look like a star. The offense would be extremely balanced and capable of doing anything depending on what the defense gives them.

Defensively everything starts up front. Haloti Ngata is amazing vs the run and pass and he'd be even more dominant in a 4-3. Ngata taking on blockers for Willis is just scary in the run game. Adrian Wilson is also fantastic in run support. Terrell Thomas is very good all around corner. I wasn't really sure who to pick here. I want someone who can tackle well because even if they allow a catch underneath in Spags' scheme there may not always be help over the top on their side. I want someone who can play man press and off man well vs anyone. I think Thomas could do that. Adrian Wilson is a fantastic blitzing safety, maybe the best in the NFL (arguable Polamalu), again fitting into Spags' aggressive 4-3. I debated who I would want here and almost put Freeny but chose Ware instead for his versatility. Ware can pretty much beat any tackle in the NFL around the corner. The thing is the QBs can often step up in the pocket. With Ngata pushing the pocket there will be no where for the QB to step up and Ware can wreak havoc.

I tried not to make it too many super-superstars lol oh well

First I just want to agree with Tru..the success of the team lies in the trenches.. oline and dline.

Offensively the most important position is the qb. Big Ben is smart, hard to bring down, tough, and a proven winner. Even tho williams is on IR, I'd take him over 95% of the RB in the league. He is great handling the ball, quick, good vision, elusive, and has the break away speed. With Britt and Megatron as my receivers, gives Ben two monster leapers that will catch over any db. Lewis provides a excellent run blocker and a great pass catcher, with a 6-6 frame provides another big target. Height > Speed.. With Sean Payton as OC the possiblities are limitless.

Defensively I need that stud end. Peppers is almost perfect against the run or pass, he is one of the few elite De/OLB in the league. Urlacher is perhaps a top 5 MLB, he will be the qb of the defense. Lean Hall and quinton Jammer are great man coverage and zone coverage corners and will be flexible. Rolle and Wilson are dominant Safties that held together the Cardinals defense that went to the superbowl. Zimmerman is one of the better unknown defensive minded coordinators in the game. He was the cowboys D coordinator when the cowboys had a feared defense few years ago. He has done a great job with the bengals as well.

You really don't want Aaron Ross. Like really really don't want Aaron Ross. He's occasionally a decent rusher but its because he's unaccounted for, he's really not that good. Terrell Thomas is better than Ross in every single aspect of the game, pass rushing included.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwE4G3HVIhU&feature=related#t=2m28s

Theres Aaron Ross for you. I linked it to the specific part. Not to live in the past but if he does his job on that play I'd say theres a significant chance the Giants win that game. He's a moron. Thats not the only time its happened but its the most significant and the easiest one to find.

Wow great teams guys. The reason why i left out offensive lines because i just felt it's to much to account. Not everyone watches a LT, LG, C, RG, RT and see's what their specialties are and what not. So far i still

If you were running a 3-4 Peppers doesn't really fit at DE and Suh doesn't really fit at NT.

I also highly doubt Rex's style and Belichicks style would fit together well. And BB is a defensive guy, not an offensive guy. He's so good a coach I think he'd be fine as an offensive coordinator but he's known for his defense, not his offense.

You're crazy, mostly anyone can fit anywhere, realistically saying. Peppers can play a 3-4 nose if someone placed him there. you can't really say that. Hell im sure some people wouldn't agree to have Jay Ratliff at 3-4 nose and look what he's doing. Ware is on the line a lot of in our 3-4, and sometimes he's at a 5 tech and not out wide. Maybe he likes to drop a lot in his 3-4 and giving him that 3 man rush. Peppers, Suh and Ngata are very capable. It's all about how you play and how you get your players to play.

ware at a 5 tech changes nothing for him. but peppers at a 3-4 nose changes a whole lot

Majority of people that picked ware, was puttin him in a 3-4 system.. and No, whoever would put peppers at NG or DE in a 34 system would be an idiot. Even Albert Hanynesworth refuses to play NG. No way a coach could get peppers to play at de or ng in a 34 system. 34 system requires big beefy guys on the line to take on double teams. not great pass rushers...lol...they get moved to olb

Maybe he likes to drop a lot in his 3-4 and giving him that 3 man rush. Peppers, Suh and Ngata are very capable. It's all about how you play and how you get your players to play.

Of course Ngata is very capable. Ngata has often rolled to nose throughout his career. He's like 350 pounds, strong as an ox, and moves very well. Suh is certainly debatable but you'd certainly make him much less effective if at all effective.

You're certainly right its all about how you play, though. However when I think 3-4, I'm thinking a conventional 2 gap 3-4 because few people run Bum Phillips one gap under style 3-4 and most football followers have no idea what that is. Most people wouldn't agree to have Jay Ratliff at 3-4 nose because he probably wouldn't be very successful at nose in a true 3-4, he'd be more suited for anchor. However, the cowboys are one of the few teams that run the one gap 3-4 where Ratliff plays more like a 4-3 3 technique and shoots gaps blowing up runs and rushing the passer.

And Peppers is an egomaniac. He was extremely lazy in carolina. Highly doubtful you get him to play on a DL in a 3-4 and if you do you severely reduce his effectiveness and limit his talents. If he's in a 3-4 he's gonna wanna play OLB, period.

Again you are very right about its much more about the style of defense than simple 3-4 or 4-3 but when you think traditional 3-4 with Peppers at DE and Suh at NT, you are severely limiting what makes both of those players elite, and thats what I was thinking. So if he meant a more hybrid 3-4, 3-4 under, one gap, bum phillips style 3-4 defense, you could certainly make it work, but thats not what I was thinking when I read it.

Mostly anyone DL can play anywhere. Peppers can play a 3-4 DE if he were asked to. You guys listen to what NFL people say so much about 3-4 DT. They don't get double teamed everyplay. hell Ratliff is what 290. 'd take him over a lot of 3-4 noses.
