I think Nos' LB's are the difference here. Nos has the most balanced team in the draft.

Nos barely. WLK has a great team.

I think my defense holds and my offense scores enough...

Nos - 7
Wlk - 9

 

[Mebert]

If any RB is going to make something out of a crumbling oline it would be Sanders. This is another game that would lack scoring, so the difference maker is one of those Sanders runs where the box score says he ran for 50 yards, but he actually ran 450 side to side to get that 50.

10-9 Nos

 

[Nosferatu]

I just don't see how WLK will score, he will have no passing attack against my secondary, I should get some pressure on McNair, all I have to do is stop TD which I should be able to do with my D-line and Spielman and Mills.

I do however think i'll have a tough time scoring on his defense, but I have way better offensive weapons. Great defense buddy but I just don't see how you score.

I got me.

17 - 9

I don't score more than 9 but I don't see more than 7 on the other side... I have great run support from the LBs and secondary...

 

[Ritzarmy]

I got Ritz since neither of you guys took Bo Jackson or Sean Taylor.

Nos

I didn't want it to be the deciding vote but Milk said he voted for me

 

[CitySushi]

Pretty sure it's rigged around here...

 

[Nosferatu]

Pretty sure it's rigged around here...

Yeah, i'm starting to think so as well...

I think WLK would have won this if he had someone better than McNair at QB. Not sure who else was available but McNair tanks the entire team.

Nos' linebackers are great but his defensive line would get wrecked by your offensive line. It would be interesting to see. I'd go Nos but only because of McNair.

Nos' DLine was specifically set to defend against the run and plug holes. It wasn't meant to get penetration up the middle, but to take on blockers to open up space for the pass rush.. The linebackers in the 3-4 are the pass rush and he has two great ones.

There wasn't a ton of the greats left and nobody within price range... I was able to squeeze an extra 3 units which put me at 6... If I would have tried to get the 3 guys left Manning was 14, Farve was 9 I think as was Elway and Moon... After that I didn't feel I could find a better player between 3-6 than McNair... I knew he would hurt me but I'd hoped with everything else his mobility would be just enough...

Which is why I countered with a run team... I felt my inside run was killer in that his OLBs were wide and Sam Mills was going to have to make plays vs that line plus Rathman coming at him... I didn't think personally that Speilman and Mills would dominate my run with that Oline while Barry would beat me having Lewis Marshall and Romo with that Oline...

I had also considered this, but for me what put me over the top was that Nos had two elite corners to cover Moore and Joiner. He could have his safeties play up in the zone as additional run support.
