Top Offenses/Top Defenses

[hardyac]

Ok - Now to a different dialogue. Name your top 3 offenses and top 3 defenses in the HALL OF FAME LEAGUE!!! Let's hear your thoughts!

Here are my thoughts...

Top Offenses
1. Total Domination (ARE YOU SERIOUS!!! How did this happen???)
QB - Palmer
RB - Tomlinson, Bush
WR - S. Smith, C. Johnson, Marvin Harrison
OL - Seahawks, Chargers, Colts, Cowboys, Chiefs

2. BayDawgs (not much change here...still strong)
QB - Donovan
RB - LJ, Clinton Portis
TE - Crumpler
WR - A. Johnson, R. Brown
OL- Chargers, Colts, Broncos, Colts, Patriots

3. Eternal Ramnation (Very solid, can we propose a new divisional structure?)
QB - Bulger
RB - Steven Jackson, W. McGahee
WR - Holt, Colston,
TE - Dallas Clark
OL - Rams, Bengals, Saints, Cowboys, Colts/Chargers

-----------------------

Defense:
1. Cerebrals (Maybe a little biased, but who knows?)
DL - Peppers, Mario Williams, Luis Castillo/Warren
LB - Merriman, D. Ware, Bart Scott, Thomas Davis
DB - Chris Hope, T. McGee, C. Woodson, Whitner/Dunta Robinson

2. Total Domination (Again, How did this happen? You can't have both #1s)
DL - Will Smith, Jayson Taylor, A. Schobel
LB - Keith Bullock, A. Thomas, A. Pierce, Farrior
DB - A. Wilson, S. Jones, G. Wilson, Polamalu

3. Just 2 Buff/Tied with Baydawg (Good solid defense with a good offense)
DL - Kampman, Grant, A. Carter
LB - D. Johnson, Peterson, Philips
DB - Tillman, E. Reed, S. Taylor, R. Williams, Hamlin

Let's hear your thoughts!

Don't have time right now to rank the Offenses, but I will rank the D's. I wanted to do top 5 but there are really only 3 teams that stand out to me. The rest after that are too close to call.

#1 TOTAL DOMINATION
DB
Sean Jones, Troy Polamalu, Adrian Wilson, Gibril Wilson
Adrian Wilson is always fighting to be the #1 DB. Sean Jones more than proved his worth last season. Polamalu is always capable of putting up a big #. G Wilson has been consistently solid.
DL
Aaron Schobel, Will Smith, Jason Taylor, Michael Strhan
Schobel, Will Smith, and Jason Taylor could all finish in the Top 10 this season. The productive Strahan is getting real up there in age.
LB
James Farrior, Antonio Pierce, Keith Bulluck, Adalius Thomas
Pierce, Bulluck, and Adalius Thomas all could land in the top 10. Farrior in the top 20. Although the move to New England could hurt Thomas's stats a little.
CONCLUSION: The only thing bad about this defense is the depth. This team is loaded with top players on both offense and defense. It almost looks like a PRO Bowl roster. Everytime I look at this team's roster I always think, "lets do a redraft"

#2 JUST2BUFF
DB
Charles Tillman, Nick Collins, Ken Hamlin, Ed Reed, Sean Taylor, Roy Williams
This is a very deep group. Three guys: Hamlin, Sean Taylor, and Tillman landed in the top 20 last season. 3 other guys: Nick Collins, Ed Reed, and Roy Williams could land there this season. The move of Hamlin to Dallas could hurt his value a little, but Roy Williams should see one of his best seasons with more playing time in the box.
DL
Aaron Kampman, Charles Grant, Mathias Kiwanuka, Andre Carter
Kampman was a monster last season scoring 21+ a game. Grant had a solid year after a down year. Kiwanuka showed alot of potential but could still be a year away. Andre Carter was surprisingly solid, but not specatcular. Could use some depth behind Kampman and Grant in the draft.
LB
Ray Lewis, Julian Peterson, Shaun Phillips, Derrick Johnson, Matt Wilhelm
Lewis was just acquired in a trade. He should be good for around 20 pts a game. Peterson had a huge season last year. Derrick Johnson has got a ton of potential. Phillips proved there is more than 1 stud LB in San Diego. Wilhelm could prove that there are 3 stud LB's. I'm a big SD guy so there could be a little bias. Wilhelm does take over Donnie Edwards spot, and reports are that he is faster and more physical than Donnie, although he can't match Donnie's coverage ability.
CONCLUSION: Addition of Ray Lewis really helped. Defense looks solid. Team has 3 2nd round picks, and 3 3rd round picks. Could use those picks to add some depth at DL and DB. Could have contended with TOTAL DOMINATION if not for crummy offense.

#3 RALEIGHS CEREBRALS
DB
Terrence McGee, Chris Hope, Dunta Robinson, Charles Woodson, Donte Whitner, Michael Huff
McGee is a top 20 DB. Dunta is solid. I think Woodson and Hope overachieved last season. Don't think Woodson comes close to his totals from last season. Hope has proved he is a top 20 DB though. Expect Whitner and Huff to step it up a little from last seasons disappointing rookie campaigns.
DL
Julius Peppers, Ty Warren, Mario Williams, Luis Castillo
Peppers is consistently one of the top 5 Dlineman. Mario Williams was hampered by a foot injury last year. Jury's still out on him as far as being a stud Dlineman. Warren and Castillo played surprisingly well. They are however DE in 3-4 defenses, not always the best position to play in as far as fantasy football is concerned.
LB
Shawne Merriman, Bart Scott, Demarcus Ware, Thomas Howard, Thomas Davis
The best 1-2-3 LB combo in the league. Merriman, Scott, and Ware are all sack artists that landed in the top 10 last year.
Thomas Davis has been a disappointment so far, Thomas Howard showed alot of promise last season.
CONCLUSION: That LB combo can't be ignored. Peppers anchors a solid Dline. This Defense is very young and should be one of the tops in the league for a few years.
