Build a NFC East Roster


Zen-like Todd

Recommended Posts

Here's my shot at the offense. Keep in mind, some positions are particularly strong and others weak, so not seeing your team's player at a position doesn't necessarily mean he sucks.

LT - Chris Samuels

LG - Shawn Andrews

C - Casey Rabach

LG - Randy Thomas

RT - Nobody jumps out at me at this point in each of their respective careers. It's a total crapshoot between Runyan, Jansen, and the detritus in New York/Dallas. ;)

TE - Chris Cooley

TE - Jason Witten

WR - Santana Moss

WR - Plaxico Burress

QB - Donovan McNabb

RB - Clinton Portis

That's my 11 man, 2 TE starting lineup. I'm sure the WR lineup will surprise some people, but I'm tryng to build a team here. Moss and Plexiglass gets you a bigger guy and a smaller quick guy, and both can get down the field. Many will argue for T.O., but team chemistry is a concern. Either Terry Glenn or Terrell Owens would be the third WR if we go 3 wide, if you can stomach having Terrell on your roster at all. Brian Westbrook gets the job of third down back. I'm partial to Sellers as a fullback.

I'm going to hold off on doing the defense for a bit, as the Cowboys 3-4 defense kinda complicates matters.

Thoughts? Insults?

Come on ZLT, off with the glasses, then try again.

You're quite welcome to make your own roster. I'm sure every fan will favor their team to some extent, but it strikes me as an extremely reasonable roster on the offensive side of the ball. Could Glenn and Owens step in at the WR spots without much of a dropoff (save for perhaps locker room drama?). Sure. Like I said, some choices are tight, some aren't. I'm sure Giants fans will be whining about Shockey, but the NFC East has probably the deepest, most talented TE corps in the league, and I'm quite comfortable ranking Cooley and Witten ahead of him.

Come on, 6 of the 10 starters you named are Redskins. You gave the team with the worst offense in the division the most starters. Doesn't make sense.

Jackson and Gurode are both better centers than Rabach, Snee is a better LG than Randy Thomas

Solid picks on your team:

Samuels

Cooley

Moss

IMO

QB - McNabb

RB - Westbrook

WR - TO

WR - Moss

TE - Shockey

TE - Cooley

LT - Samuels

LG - Snee

C - J. Jackson/Gurode

RG - Andrews

RT - Runyan

We had injuries, poor QB play, and no WR depth last season. Depth has absolutely no impact on an all NFC East roster, while it has a huge impact on the performance of a team during regular season play. Is that not a fair point?

Jackson and Gurode are both better centers than Rabach, Snee is a better LG than Randy Thomas

I disagree. I think they are all fairly close in talent however.

Samuels

Cooley

Westbrook simply isn't going to be my preferred first choice for RB due to his inability to pound it up in the interior of the offensive line. I also think Witten is a more consistent player than Shockey.

I think some of the concern is over the offensive line. The Redskins have generally been accepted as having one of the league's best offensive lines, so this shouldn't be a huge shock.

QB-McNabb

RB-Portis, Westbrook 3rd down back - I like how you guys knock Portis for his durability, however, Westbrook has had just as many injuries if not more. :laugh:

WR-Reggie Brown - sorry, I couldn't have Mcnabb and Owens on the same team, again. :)

WR-Moss Comes through in big time situations

TE-Shockey, Cooley - I like these two TEs better than Witten - he just seems more like a possession guy, Shockey and Cooley can make you pay after the catch.

LT-Samuels

LG-Andrews

C- I don't know enough about the centers, or how to measure players at the position.

RG-Thomas

RT-Runyan

DE-Umenyiora (14.5 sacks two years ago).

DE-Cole (62 Tackles - impressive) & you know, as bad as people make Andre Carter out to be, he wasn't too far behind him w/ 56 tackles 6 sacks

DT-Ferguson

DT-Robbins or Griff Flip a coin...

OLB-Ware

MLB-Fletcher Can't argue with the stats - he has more tackles than ANYBODY over the last 5 years, and he's shown no sign of slowing down - the loss of Pierce might be a blessing in disguise

OLB-Washington

CB-Newman

CB-Sheppard

This is a tremendous safety duo, the rest of the NFC East just doesn't know it yet ;)

FS-Taylor

SS-Landry

K-Akers

P-McBriar

I always remove all division rival players from my fantasy draft board so here's what I've got.

It's T.O. over Moss without even thinking, and Glenn and Moss are then a toss up.

Raymer isnt better than Gurode.

Cooley and Witten are a toss up too, I'll agree on that.

And as much as it pains me to say, right now, with the uncertain status of Portis, Westbrook is the top RB in the NFCE.

I wouldn't have T.O. on my roster period. Regardless of how they might be ranked. Once I dumped T.O., Moss was my small/quick guy, and Plexiglass became my bigger WR. So as you can see, while you might disagree and put together your own roster that is perfectly acceptable, there's really nothing wrong with my lineup.

If thats your reasoning, I absolutely have no problem with it.

But talent alone, Owens is the best in the NFCE. And it's not close.

In any event, I can't fault you for not wanting him on "your" roster.

Yeah, that's basically it. I'd agree that Owens is the most talented receiver in the NFC East. My position is simply that given the fact that there are many talented receiver in the division, and that I can put together an excellent duo without him, I'm going to avoid the drama and chemistry issues that might arise.

QB-McNabb. By default. Everyone else is young. I personally think he gets too much credit in Philly. Westbrook is the real key to that offense.

RB-Westbrook. The only other back that carried his team like Westbrook was Tiki. Westbrook is easily the Eagles MVP.

WR-Owens

WR-Plaxico

TE-Shockey and Witten

LT-Samuels

LG-Andrews

C-Gurode

RG-Snee

RT-Runyan

DE-Strahan

DE-Osi

DT-Ferguson

DT-Robbins

OLB-Ware

MLB-Pierce

OLB-Washington

CB-Newman

CB-Sheppard

FS-Dawkins

SS-Williams for now.

K-Akers is the only proven kicker in the division.

P-McBriar may be the best in the NFL.

QB-McNabb. Everyone else IS young but this has to be his last year at the tops he is injury prone and the love is wearing thin in the city of brotherly love.

RB-Portis .In 2005 Portis put the team on his shoulders and carried it to the second round of the playoffs . One injury effected year and he is done? Westbrook has just as bad an injury threat, he has never played a full 16 game season and has broken 1000 yards rushing once in his carear . Westbrook is extremly well suited to his role in Philly but lets not kid oursleves here anywhere else he is nothing more than a 3rd down back. The only other back who should be mentioned here is Tiki but he retired .

WR-Owens : For his entire career he has been overated but is simply the best WR in the NFCE at this point. He makes the QBs around him better

WR-Moss is inconsistant but has produced more than Plaxico and would be interesting to see with another legitimate target.

TE-Cooley and Witten : Shockey is close but taking him would be name recognition only . Cooley has been just as productive and would have been a probowl candidate in 2004 had he been actually listed as a TE rather than HB.

LT-Samuels

LG-Andrews

C-Gurode or Jackson or Rabach (the Redskins C ...not Raymer)

RG-Thomas, seriously if he was not in B&G he would be hailed as one of the best RGs in the game . Snee is close but Barber is a top back in the NFL which makes the line look better.

RT-Runyan or Jansen

(I have seen so many lists with just samuels...the Skins offensive line allowed a career back up who has been averaging 2.4 yards per carry this summer to gash teams last year and gave up just 19 sacks)

DE-Strahan or Cole ...Strahan is on his way out but has had an outstanding career Cole is the best of the rest as long as you dont expect him to produce in december.

DE-Osi

DT-Patterson came on well last year.

DT-Robbins

OLB-Ware

MLB-Fletcher over Pierce both still seems like a career over achiver but

Fletcher has shown the goods longer.

OLB-Washington/Spikes/McIntosh/Adoyele/ - essentially by default although I would be tempted to play Ware in a 4-3 as SLB utilising him as a stand up DE on passing downs and then looking for a WLB there are alot of unknowns and it would be a toss up between McIntosh and Spikes. Potential or production.

CB-Newman : Possibly the best CB in the NFCE right now pre injury

CB-Springs : If healthy can be a top CB health is an issue but doesn't suffer from the inconsistancies of Brown or Shepard

FS-Dawkins ... for what he has done I would put Taylor here but he has firstly not shown enough to diplace Dawkins and secondly hasn't played exlusivly in the FS spot

SS-Williams for now but he is becomming more and more like Adam Archuletta, an undersized LB rather than a safety ...I cannot put Landry here becasue although he looks like a dynamic playmaker he is a rookie..

K-Akers is the only proven kicker in the division.

P-McBriar may be the best in the NFL.

:laugh: at everyone qualifying their choices by putting (when healthy) after Portis, and not after Westbrook. Too funny.

Portis is the best RB in the division, without question. Anyone who picks Westbrook over him is either a homer, or just doesn't like Portis.
