Voted - Jeffro, Nos, UK, Mebert, 500, WLK, Hockey, Milk, Ritz

 

[Nosferatu]

Great a difficult one to start us out...

 

[jeffro151]

My vote is for Jeffro, obviously.

I've got too much talent on the offensive side of the ball for his defense to overcome. Having AP as the main RB, and then Thurman Thomas, who is one of the best pass catching RB's of all time, to come in for passing downs.

 

[Nosferatu]

I'm not a huge fan of either defense but I like Jeffro's offense more, I guess I lean Jeffro as I really like his offensive line.

 

[UK Cowboy]

Tough matchup. If you look at the teams, they have a lot of similarities in strengths. I am a huge Rodgers fan, and as great a talent as Barry was, I'm a much bigger fan of AP's downhill style, which would put his team in a lot more 2nd and 5's vs Barry, who would have some of the greatest runs ever seen, but also put his team in 2nd and 12 or 14 while trying to make a spectacular play instead of taking whats there

Jeffro

 

[Mebert]

I vote 500. Offense are very close, but I prefer 500's secondary and I think Jeffro's OLB's are miscast in the 4-3 defense.

 

[jeffro151]

@Nosferatu, can you switch my OLB's? They are out of position.

 

[wlk3]

I agree with the OLBs being miscast in the 4-3, I also feel grabbing Leach was a waisted pick as Barry wasn't as good with a FB... I like 500s defense A little more, Rice and Gronkowski mixed with some AP is a tough... Gotta go Jeffro in a tight one...

Jeffro - 42
500 - 38

Dang it, totally forgot to switch Thomas and Suggs. Hopefully it doesn't cost me.

Jeffro's is playing 3-4 OLBs in a 4-3 and u didn't point it out like u always do!

 

[Nosferatu]

Jeffro's is playing 3-4 OLBs in a 4-3 and u didn't point it out like u always do!

I did notice that but you have 2 ROLB's

 

[Pack 500]

Jeffro has a great team but his OLBs are totally miscast in a 4-3 so I don't think his pass rush is very strong. Do either Suggs or Thomas know how to play coverage? If not they will be blitzing a ton and Manning will eat that up.Don't see why my defense isn't liked who can double team Ngata and Washington with Ware and LT pass rushing with Ronnie, Haynes and Sherman in the secondary? Offensively I think only difference is I like my depth at receiver better. 500

 

[Pack 500]

I did notice that but you have 2 ROLB's

That's pretty irrelevant compared to playing in different systems

 

[Nosferatu]

@Nosferatu, can you switch my OLB's? They are out of position.

They both played on both sides

AP is a lot more boom or bust than anyone really notices IMO

 

[jeffro151]

Suggs is a 3-4, I did screw up on that one, but Thomas played a bit of both 3-4 and 4-3.

Thomas played ROLB in a 4-3 defense in 1992 (14.5 sacks), 1994 (11 sacks), 1995 (8 sacks).
Thomas played LOLB in a 4-3 defense in 1996 (13 sacks)

Not when he's played the Cowboys

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Jeffro. I think the skill on offense is too much.

Rodgers and AP is a dream combo

 

[Nosferatu]

AP is a lot more boom or bust than anyone really notices IMO

Maybe now but not in his earlier years, our interior offensive line just blows right now, we are playing a rook at RT who has not been very good and Kalil was a hall of famer in his rookie year and has been chit since.
