JMUGator19 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I was bored and i was just thinking aimlessly when i suddenly wondered what was the most important part of a team. what i mean by that is, if an expansion team was created what part of the team would you ensure first: OL, DL, Receiving Corps, Secondary, QB, Running Backs (includes full backs and H-Backs)? In this hypothetical situation, the rest of your team is below average except in one catagory of your choosing. what do you pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s0crates Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Offensive Line. That gives me 5 good players and the potential to make a bad QB and RB look decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltimateSkins Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 The Texans went the O-Line route with Tony Boselli and Ryan Young in the expansion draft. Look where that got them..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelarkascend1ng Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 The Texans went the O-Line route with Tony Boselli and Ryan Young in the expansion draft. Look where that got them..... Right, but draft potential versus output on the field are very different. No matter what, a lot of people still think that the Texans COULD be good if they could find a way to get their O line to work better. what THAT comes down to is attitude, coaching, and work.

Scribble Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 The most important part of the team is the coaches. They set the tone, the style and attitude of the team. They set the plays, the standards and pick the starters. Great players with bad coaches rarely achieve anything, but a great coaching set up can get average players performing well in all team sports.

hands11 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 front office and coaches everything else stems from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelerSkins Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 The Texans went the O-Line route with Tony Boselli and Ryan Young in the expansion draft. Look where that got them..... there is, without a doubt, no question, the most important position on the field, after QB, is the offensive line . . . btw, boseli was hurt and never played for the texans . . . you should revise your post to read "the jags took him first and went the o-line route" they were in the AFC title game their second year in the league! good o-lines give a team several dimensions . . . pass protection, psychological dominance, physical beating, running lanes, and more . . . no where better to build . . .

Big Weirdo Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 The most important component? It starts at the top (ie. Owner, GM, Coach) and it goes from there. If they don't have a willingness or care to win. Well, then, chances are your team won't either. Regardless of how good your players are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 starts from the top, owner to coaching. I think if u can find a owner who spends money and a coach who is fully in charge. thats a great situation. The texans are a bad example. their coach flat out sucks. Ok, he made the panthers good, but they went the veteran approach in building that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnacpa Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 If you are talking specific positions on the field, it would be O-Line or D-Line depending on your football philosophy. If you are talking about anything within the organization it would have to be Front Office and Coaching. Look what Gibbs has done for the Skins in terms of team attitude, direction, focus, and overall organization. It was a mess under Spurrier. Most players that reach the NFL have talent. The chemistry, coaching, and emotional focus is what turns talent into winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMUGator19 Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 Yea, how about we just ignore the coaching and FO because they would MAKE the components i mentioned good. but im very surprised that not one person thought a good secondary or WR corp such would be a good place. Not that i would pick them but one could argue that a powerful WR corps would negate the opponents pass rush and make the QB look sharp and open up the offense because they are such powerful weapons... an example of this would be if you had a 5 WR set with Moss Moss TO Smith and Chad Johnson. or whoever your top five receivers are. or if you could say with a perfect secondary, which i consider everything behind DL, would stop virtually all passes and force the team to run the ball (with a good secondary you could stop that too) or throw interceptions. the RB philosophy would probably consist of Barry Sanders combined with LT and your favorite FB to block for them.

Taylor 36 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I have to agree with the coaches staff being the most important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelerSkins Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 obviously the front office and the coaches make the difference - i thought we were talking about players here . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman330 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Offensive Line. That gives me 5 good players and the potential to make a bad QB and RB look decent. This is correct. He who controls the line of scrimage, controls the game. Plus any trained eye will drift to the line-play at the snap of the ball, as oppsed to the QB or some other spot. Besides, your O'line are the enforcers by doing things you can't see on camera. Example, stepping up to a D player who gets to rough with the ball carrier. The great ones have the ability to cause fear in people and have a serious mean streak.....We could use a couple of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critz1407 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I would have to say that it would have to be the coaching staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gutlead74 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 a good oline unit and a good d line unit are essintial to any winning team, dont even really need a dominate player in either unit just need a group that works well together. makes average RBs look great see:emmit smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
