It's simple for me, I believe my defense has a much better chance of slowing down his offense than his defense does my offense.

I got me here...

Just like the Giants beating New England twice in Super Bowls a great pass rush can defeat a top passing game. I'm going to be able to get to the QB without blitzing with LT,Jackson and Smith and have plenty of guys back for coverage. Also my receivers probably will be underrated but they shouldn't be. Hutson dominated the game like nobody else and Berry was the best receiver in his time. I got me

The Patriots didn't have 3 of the top 5 receivers of all time... You're not getting as much pressure as you think with only 3 real rushers. I do love the Hutson pick, I have picked him and argued for him before but i'm just too strong offensively for you and I have a pretty good defensive line that will get just as much pressure on Unitas as you think you'll get on Marino.

And the Giants didn't have 3 of the best pass rushers of all time. Ngata requires a double as well if you want to keep him out of the backfield. And Irvin isn't top 5

My Guards will handle Ngata alone, leaving the other 4 and Casper to fend off the other 3 rushers. I think i'll be ok. I can find just as many websites that list Irvin as top 5 as those who don't.

Not to mention in your set up Smith is going to be lined up inside which takes away a lot of his strength. unless of course you'll just have 2 guys on each side trying to beat my tackles...

Well I don't even think you yourself would consider him top 5 Irvin played on the most popular team and on one of the best teams he will always get a little more credit than he deserves

You're right I don't, but that's my opinion. When he's on my team he's top 5...

I think 500 has a great team, but much like he said my my team was a tough matchup for Nos, Nos is a terrible matchup for him. I love 500's 3-4 set, it would give nearly anyone trouble, but Nos destroys it. First, 500 is running a 2 DE, no DT/NT look, either that would change quickly, or Nos would run at will. In a base 3-4, to get 3 corners in, he took out a DT, I'm guessing he would switch that to taking out an ILB. That still leaves a huge problem. BSmith is a pass rusher, but to really get heat, RJackson and LT will have to be coming as well, and rushing two OLB's out of a 3-4 set leaves who exactly to check Faulk on routes out of the backfield? Then there is Casper to deal with, who could stay in to block or leak out as well. You can't fo safety on both Casper and Faulk, because if you are man up against Nos receivers, he will kill you if you don't go at least single high safety. 500 has some offensive matchups and a great team, but it's a tough draw for him

Nos 38
500 28

 

[mr.hockey4242]

I think 500 is right about his pressure he will get more but that's pretty relative because Nos has a very strong line himself.

Nos also told me last draft people wouldn't respect Hutson but I took him anyways. Maybe if someone new keeps taking him he will finally he his due.

I just think Marino with Nos receivers make him too strong. You have to have something that can real counter it. His O will score a lot and his D is capable of getting key stops.

I got Nos.

Both teams are great.

Nos

 

[Mebert]

I like nos in this one

 

[MilkSpiller22]

Can I say anything more than bob Lilly being sooooo Much better than randy white. I have to go with Nos

 

[UK Cowboy]

Tough loss for 500. I had his team top 4, ran into the same fate I did, played the best team early on

 

[Nosferatu]

Can I say anything more than bob Lilly being sooooo Much better than randy white. I have to go with Nos

Yeah, I guess I made more of that than I should have...

 

[wlk3]

Nos... Can't really get into votes because of these damn adds... Sorry guys
