[Nosferatu]

Again this is a tough one, offense or defense? HMMMM

 

[Nosferatu]

If I had to rank these units it would be

1. Jeffro O
2. Milk D
3. Milk O
4. Jeffro D

I really like Jeffros offensive line.

I dont believe Jeffro would have to blitz on every play to get pressure on Favre.

In the end I guess i'm just not a huge fan of Marcus Allen and I believe even though Milk has the better defense Jeffros offense is so deep they would still score more than Milks O would.

Very close and I hate voting in games like this!

Milk 28

QB- Jeffro
WRs- Jeffro
RBs- Jeffro
O-line- Milk
D-line- milk
LBs- Milk
secondary- Milk


I got my team because I think I win at the lines and will weaken his offense more than he can weaken my offense even though his offense is better...

Milk for the win...

Jeffro.

Milk's defense just would not be able stop my offense. Rodgers would easily pick apart the middle of the field, whether it be to Gronk or Thomas.

I think if Jeffro has a weakness, its his DL(weakness being relative). However, I think Milk has a solid but not overpowering OL, so that kind of washes. Milk has a truly great secondary. The greatest matchup of the entire Mock would be Night Train vs Rice, though I think the thing to do would be to double Rice with Adderley and Krause, and lock up Ocho and Smith with Lane and Woodson and bring Butler up for the TE. But that's where Jeffro could really attack though, isolating Thomas in space against Jackson, a total mismatch that would force safety help as well, except the Safety would need help on Gronk. Plus there's AP to deal with. In short, Milk has an awesome D, but Jeffro has the best O and a huge edge at QB with Rodgers.
I do think Milk would score, and it would come down to ball control. He has the deep threat in Hayes, and a passing game short and out of the backfield. But if you double Hayes and make Favre take a patient approach and check down, at some point, I think he forces a mistake that Rodgers doesn't. Great game

Milk you really think your offensive line is better?

Yes I do... He has a great one... But I think mine is better...

 

[Nosferatu]

Yes I do... He has a great one... But I think mine is better...

WOW, Ok, I could not disagree more but thats cool.

Joe Thomas, Jahri Evans and Jeff Saturday are recent players, they don't yet have the mystique or nostalgia that you want...

Thomas is an excellent player, Saturday and Evans, good but not great

Oh and they arent as good against their peers... forgot that one...

 

[MilkSpiller22]

Oh and they arent as good against their peers... forgot that one...

So because the peers of certain players are worse that makes that player better?? Yes pro-bowls and all pro's are good stats to look at, but all they say is that this player was best that year at their position... How often do we see years with weak crop of players and others with strong...

Maybe his O-line is better, but even if it is it is not way better...

 

[Mebert]

This is a fun one. Milk has the 3 best CB's in my mind, while no CB can single cover Rice, I think you can reasonably expect Woodson and Adderely on Johnson and Smith in single coverage. So as good as the receiving threats are, this secondary, if not an equal, is a great matchup. While Brooks is the greatest wlb of his time, he is no match for Gronk.

I like Milks Offense almost everywhere but Favre, I think Carmichael is every bit the mismatch for Milk in this matchup that Gronk is for Jeffro. Priest Holmes is a nice receiving threat, and he can vulture TD's from Allen to give him a taste of his own medicine.

Overall, I think Jeffro wins by a late game Favre pick....he was so close to squeezing the ball between all 3 defenders!

 

[Mebert]

Also Evans is not getting his due here, he was the best guard in football for a 2-3 year period.

Well thats kinda what we are suppose to be judging on and if you want my opinion his line is just better the players are better.
