"Which college's NFL alumni would field the strongest pro team? You need enough players in the league to have starters at each position, which probably narrows it down to 10-12 programs with enough alumni to insure enough starters to build a top 22 with no one playing out of position... Given the importance of QB play, you'd have to think Michigan with Brady would be at the top, but looking at the DL, it's pretty thin (only 3 DL in the league, and 1 DE). Maybe Tennessee? – DB A: It’s always a fun argument that until recently was always won by Miami. Now, as strange as it sounds for the former factory, there’s no quarterback to lead the way. Tennessee is in the discussion, especially with Peyton Manning, Jamal Lewis and Travis Henry in the backfield, Robert Meachem and Donte Stallworth at receiver, Jason Witten at tight end, but the O line would be a problem. The defensive tackle combination of John Henderson and Albert Haynesworth would be a killer, the ends would probably be Shaun Ellis and Parys Haralson, the linebackers Omar Gaither, Kevin Burnett, and incoming rookie Jerod Mayo, and the secondary Jason Allen, Gibril Wilson, Deon Grant and I’d take incoming rookie Jonathan Hefney. USC would pose a challenge. Carson Palmer, Reggie Bush, LenDale White and Justin Fargas in the backfield, Steve Smith (of the Giants) and Keary Kolbert at receiver, incoming rookie Fred Davis at tight end, a line starting with Ryan Kalil, Deuce Lutui, incoming rookie Sam Baker, and bust Winston Justice, a D line of Mike Patterson, Shaun Cody, Frostee Rucker, and incoming rookie Sedrick Ellis and/or Lawrence Jackson, a killer linebacking corps of Lofa Tatupu, Junior Seau and incoming rookie Keith Rivers, and a secondary starting with Troy Polamalu, and then being forced to play Darnell Bing and Will Poole.

didn't read but the first sentence

but the obvious answer is Tenna mothafuckin C

1/19/2008 1:56:08 AM

Tom brady at QB
RB's of mike Hart and anthony thomas
WR's of Bralyon Edwards, Armani Toomer, Mario Manningham
TE Jerame Tuman
OL Jeff Backus, Steve Hutchison, Maurice Williams, Jon Runyan, Jon Jansen
DL Alan Branch, James Hall, Gabe Watson, Lamar Woodley
LB Cato June, Dhani Jones, Ian Gold
DBs Charles Woodson, Leon Hall, Ty Law, Marlin Jackson
K Jay Feeley


I like that team better than the tennesse one. Defensively we have a pretty big advantage (except for DT's) . offensively we get killed on RB's & TEs but we have better WRs and MUCH better OL

williams played center for us for 2 years. i changed it to kraus upon the news he is going to be a C in the pros



[Edited on January 19, 2008 at 2:14 AM. Reason : OLine, linebackers and secondary are sick]

I see... could do this for USC probably... maybe Ohio State... Texas?

knowing FULL FUCKING GODDAMM WELL that ncsu is not on the list, nor could anyone argue as such-

yet somewhere there is a soldier that would love to post on this message board, yet he/she is waste deep in Iraq bullshit

1/19/2008 2:27:57 AM

I'm not sure of all the specifics, but I'm pretty sure that even with Vinny Testaverde as their QB a team of Miami alums would beat down anyone else.

1/19/2008 3:05:50 AM

he retired...

1/19/2008 3:07:09 AM

^ doh, forgot.

Maybe he'd come back, you know these old fuckers are always coming out of retirement.

1/19/2008 3:20:01 AM

Ohio State

"to insure enough starters"

Has the fucking world forgot the difference between insure and ensure?

in the last 24 hours i've seen this in a newspaper, a magazine, and on a posted sign.

ok, the thread can go back on topic now.

1/19/2008 7:50:41 AM

the OSU team listed has Wilkinson who's not in the league anymore, so I'll touch it up in a couple spots. And based on available talent, I'll use a 3-4 defense:

QB- Troy Smith
RB- Antonio Pittman (as he's the only one now)
WR- Joey Galloway
WR- Santonio Holmes
WR- Terry Glenn
TE- Ben Hartsock
OT- Orlando Pace
OG- Doug Datish
C- LeCharles Bentley
OG- Rob Sims
OT- Shane Olivea

DE- Will Smith
DT- Ryan Pickett
DE- Jay Richardson
LB- AJ Hawk
LB- Mike Vrabel (red zone GOD)
LB- Matt Wilhelm
LB- Anthony Schlegel
DB- Shawn Springs
DB- Nate Clements
DB- Donte Whitner
DB- Antoine Winfield

K- Mike Nugent

Fuck Penn State, we know who the real Linebacker U* is.

*I will agree that it could be Miami as well, but it certainly isn't PSU.

1/19/2008 10:04:40 AM

UM's NFL linbackers are actually just as good as OSU's

1/19/2008 10:08:38 AM

please elaborate on that as I'm pretty busy laughing.

My laughter is assuming you're talking all-time. If it's current, UM does have some quality LBs in the leauge.

[Edited on January 19, 2008 at 10:13 AM. Reason : .]

1/19/2008 10:11:06 AM

Na'il Diggs might be a better LB than Schlegel

1/19/2008 10:18:00 AM

i was saying current, since that is what we're talking about

1/19/2008 10:18:23 AM

ray lewis
jonathan vilma
jon beason


not too shabby

OH AND DAN MORGAN@!!

QB- Rivers

OG- Locklear

1/19/2008 11:00:47 AM

you all leave off brian williams, our best CB in the NFL by far

1/19/2008 11:07:11 AM

we actually field a pretty good team

1/19/2008 11:19:12 AM

why does everybody keep putting locklear at G? He plays RT. (ok i see that espn.com has him listed as g, but he plays rt)
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/teams/depth?team=sea

also, we could play krob at rb, he was an rb in HS. he could be a westbrook/bush type of back


also, like boob_r said, our #1 cornerback is obv williams. he fucking covered randy moss.

1/19/2008 1:51:04 PM

amato recruited a fucking sick D-line, thats for sure

1/20/2008 3:19:34 AM

Our O-line would get dominated, but overall....we field a pretty decent team. Can't believe the 2 people that have posted their "All NFL NC State teams" have put dovonte and marcus ahead of brian williams. with williams in there, our secondary would be quite good. Also, our WR's would be dirty with Rivers throwing to them.......Holt, Cotchery and Robinson?? nasty

1/20/2008 4:24:12 AM

Michigan wins this hands down

1/20/2008 4:34:23 AM

also, ollie-pop could play both ways and we could run a 3-4 since we have only one real DE, or else he could play lb in the 4-3 while lawson goes back to DE and mccargo/pressley/tyler sub each other out at DT or one moves to o-line
