All-time Ravens "dream team"
Not sure if this has ever been done before on this site, but it's a decent way of rehashing our history and passing time during the offseason.
The objective: Fill out one 53 man roster using one particular season from one particular player. You can only use a player once. Should be a source of some good debate and discussion.
The roster will follow this format
1-2 QB/Backup QB
3-5 RB/Backup RB/3rd string RB
6- FB
7-9 TE/TE2/blocking or 3rd string TE
10-14 Starting OLine
15-17 backup O-line
18-22 WR
23 K
24 P
25 LS (yuck)
For argument sakes, we will use a 3LB/4DL configuration
26-29 Starting DLine
30-32 Starting LBs
33-34 Starting CB
35-36 Starting S
37-nickleback
38-dimeback
39,40- 5th and 6th CBs
41-42- reserve safeties
43-46 reserve LBS
47-49 reserve D-line
50- kick returner
51-53 Special Teams

Good stuff.
Just to play devil's advocate here.....what would you think about C-Mac's 2003 being placed ahead of his 2006? They were both great seasons, but I thought McAListers 2003 and Revis' 2009 were the seasons by which all other modern CBs are judged. Give me your thoughts there.
Also, Lardarius would make a heckuva nickleback, but what CB would you have as our 2nd starter? I'm struggling to remember a season turned in by anyone other than CMAC that compared to what LW just did......
Re: All-time Ravens "dream team"
You should add OC/DC/HC to the mix as well. It could allow for a 4th Lewis, though I suspect some would take Rex. Billick/Harbaugh would also be contentious, I suspect.
Re: All-time Ravens "dream team"

backup RB- Ray Rice - 2011

Duane Starks had as good a season in 2000 as any other raven CB has had. His post season run that year was better than webbs in 2011. Imo
Re: All-time Ravens "dream team"
19 K Matt Stover 2000
10 OL Jon Ogden 2003
You know I was going to put in 2000 but Jamal Lewis would not have joined the 2K club without the Oline so I'm going 2003
Re: All-time Ravens "dream team"
Question Luke. Is this strictly by position? What I mean is when you say starting defensive line and there's four spots they have to be 2 DT's and 2 DE's, correct? Not just the best 4 def linemen regardless of position. Strictly position would be tough. You would have Adams, Siragusa, and Ngata for DT but could only choose two....also since technically Reed and Woodson both play FS you wouldn't be able to use Woodson, etc..
