CC's All-NFL Team 2004

[Nilmerf]

Your picks are good, except I would take Harrison over Walker. Walker had a few monster games that inflated his stats, mind you he still had a great season (he was on my fantasy team, no complaints) but not as consistent or saavy as Harrison.

I might be tempted to plug other players into the offensive or defensive lines.. but it's tough to judge when you only see a few games a week. It's not like they show a great block on the highlights too often (unless it's part of a big offensive play).

Gonzo over Gates is the only problem I see.

Alright of course all my picks are biast but I would add

Tony Richardson FB
Brian Waters G

[Evolution]

I'd like William Henderson over Mack Strong. And I don't know why Randy Moss was even brought up to be on this team. He missed like 5 weeks and didn't have a great season even when he played. Javon Walker deserves to be on this squad.

I dont buy into this whole "William Henderson was the best blocking FB in the NFC this year" fad. People go around talking about how Alexander is a bad RB and Ahman Green has skill... yet Green can actually run effectively to both sides of his line whereas Shaun only has really 2 or 3 OL and Mack Strong to run behind.

Green had his lowest yardage total since he's been in Green Bay and his blocker goes to the Pro Bowl? That's pretty absurd to me. I wont deny that Henderson is a great blocking RB, but he was more deserving last year than to go this year.

As for your list CC, at TE its tough to decide between a guy who set the record for receptions at the position in a season (Gonzo) and a guy who set the TDs (Gates). I think Gonzo is the right call... 1200 yards and 100+ receptions as a TE is outstanding. If Gates broke 1k I would give it to him, however.

seems like tony richardson is always mentioned as the best blocking fullback in the nfl

anyway, the list
gates>gonzo
horn>walker

[maddog60]

Donnie Edwards > Farrior > Lewis.

He deserves a spot more than LT does. Seriously, based off of just this year, Tiki Barber deserves the RB spot over LT. Now if I were building a franchise, LT of course, but just on this years performance, Tiki was the NFL's leader in yards from scrimmage, had an amazing year, and on a pathetic team that defenses couldn't help but stack against him the sole weapon (think of how simliar this was to LT's year last year with the crappy QB, crappy O-line, etc).

I agree with your team also but.....
you have to have back up RB's
so Tike and Alexander they are.

also Big Steve Hutch at LG


very good pickings btw CC
I would "ALMOST" put Chad Johnson up there over Walker
but I am stoooopid so whatever..

Eh, Gates made much more of a difference with 13 TDs than Gonzo did with 1200 yards and 100 receptions. I believe he should be the man. Maddog, LT scored a TD in like every game except one. Tiki tailed it off after Eli came in. LT was good the whole season, while playing hurt.

3.9 ypc for LT
4.7 ypc for Tiki

Edge Tiki

LT had more fumbles by 1 but same number of them lost (2).

Tie.

LT 18 TDs
Tiki 15 TDs

Edge LT.

Tiki 2096 total yards
LT 1786 total yards

Edge Tiki.

Whats most impressive to me is that Tiki had such a high ypc behind such an attorcious offensive line whereas LT's O-line had made significant improvements. LT's 3 extra TDs can be explained as a by product of being in a higher scoring offense, but Tiki's almost full yard more per carry can't be explained as a by product. Tiki was just better this year than LT.
