Spaceman Spiff Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Just got done reading the article on Dexter Manley by TK and Tarhog. Props given guys, that was a great read! The bit about the 1986 Pro Bowl got me thinking who else was on that NFC team. So I looked at pro football reference.com and found it. What a lineup... Tommy Kramer - min Jay Schroeder - was Ok, not the best start for Qb's. Actually the AFC had Elway, Esiason and Marino. Nice lineup. RB's Eric Dickerson - ram Rueben Mayes - nor Joe Morris - nyg Walter Payton - chi Gerald Riggs - atl Vai Sikahema - stl Ron Wolfley - stl Dickerson and Payton together. Awesome. I'm assuming they used Sikahema for a return man. WR Gary Clark - was Art Monk - was Mike Quick - phi Jerry Rice - sfo 2/3rds of the Posse and the best WR of all time. TE Mark Bavaro - nyg Steve Jordan - min Bavaro was great, not really sure about the other guy though. OL Brad Benson - nyg Jim Covert - chi Bill Fralic - atl Russ Grimm - was Dennis Harrah - ram Jay Hilgenberg - chi Joe Jacoby - was Jackie Slater - ram Doug Smith - ram Grimm and Jacoby Slater was awesome too. DL Jim Burt - nyg Dexter Manley - was Leonard Marshall - nyg Steve McMichael - chi Reggie White - phi Holy crap, Dexter Manley and a young Reggie White together! Leonard Marshall, too... LB's Harry Carson - nyg Carl Ekern - ram Rickey Jackson - nor Wilber Marshall - chi Mike Singletary - chi Lawrence Taylor - nyg That's just sick, LT and singletary, Marshall and Carson...can you imagine a 3-4 with Dexter, White and Marshall and LT, Singletary, Carson and W. Marshall? DB Joey Browner - min Dave Duerson - chi Jerry Gray - ram LeRoy Irvin - ram Ronnie Lott - sfo Darrell Green - was Ronnie Lott and Browner could crack some skulls, Darrel Green, one of the best shutdown corners of all time. Can anyone else find a better Pro Bowl squad than this? Offense isn't the best because I think Payton was on the downside of his career here, the Qb's aren't that special. But that defense is incredible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYFootballGIANTS Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Wow, great observation. If I was a quarterback, I would fake an injury to avoid playing against that Defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramer that year actually had a good season. Schroeder had as many Ints as TDS :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I would like to see that defense play the 2003 AFC Probowl offense. QB-Peyton and McNair RB-Clinton, Priest (pre injury) and Jamal Lewis with Tony Richardson blocking WR-Marvin Harrison Chad Johnson and Hines Ward TE-Tony Gonzalez and Todd Heap (who would be sick if he had a real QB throwing to him, like, um, Peyton Manning) Oline-Ogden, Willie Roaf, Alen Faneca, Will Shields and Kevin Mavae.
