Lets build a NFL team

[Paul Wozniak]

I was thinking about the Lions, and who I would keep if I were the GM. Then it occured to me that they aren't the only team in the NFL with players who wouldn't be in the NFL if it weren't for these teams:

Detroit Lions
St. Louis Rams
Cincinnati Bengals
Kansas City Chiefs
Oakland Raiders

So lets build a team from each of these team's best (?) players! (If we can, we might not have enough!)

From the Lions I will nominate the following:

Kicker - Jason Hanson, Punter - Nick Harris, OLB - Ernie Sims, RB - Kevin Smith (for depth) WR - Calvin Johnson

This is all I would salvage from the worst team in NFL history. I know Oakland (Salsa) and Cinci (Brainfry and Ramy) are represented, so maybe somebody with intimate knowledge of KC and St Louis can nominate some players.

Absolutely.

I added Smith for depth, RB's Jackson or McFadden would be our starters.

Over Carson Palmer and Marc Bulger?! No way.

Here's mine....

Offense

QB- Carson Palmer, Marc Bulger, JaMarcus Russell
RB- Steven Jackson, Kevin Smith
WR- Calvin Johnson, TJ Housh, Torry Holt
TE- Tony Gonzalez, Zach Miller
K- Jason Hanson

He probably meant based on this year only.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

Anybody on the roster is eligible. My game, my rules.

This roster is starting to shape up pretty nice. We do need some defense, I only nominated one guy, for obvious reasons.

 

[HD MM]

The toughest decision IMO would be which Head Coach to take!

Earnie Simms?

Earnie Simms?

Confused. You don't like Ernie Sims, or did you miss my nomination in post #1?

As for a coach, we would have to go outside this "organization" to find one.
Better question? which city will we play in?

 

[cybok0]

which city will we play in?

L.A.

 

[mccoyrj]

Herm Edwards for coach. :up

 

[SabresRule]

Herm Edwards for coach.

He's the only competent and accomplished coach of the teams listed.

Missed it sorry. Good choice.
