Joe Greene was awesome but Walter was just special.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

this might be my 1st hard choice. Really wanted to go with Greene, but how could you go against Sweetness.

Joe Greene was the man, but not being a homer... Payton was special.

There are very, very few I can vote for against Sweetness. Mean Joe ain't one of 'em.

Gotta go with "Cool" Joe and Sweetness this week.

 

[Wazmankg]

Easy... Sweetness. Didn't know you were doing this. I should check out the NFL board more often off season.

Lots of great RBs, very few great DL, so I go with mean Joe Green. I usually will favor a defensive player over a offensive player so there is that to consider.
