Re: Football Gameplan's Baltimore Ravens All-Time Team
I wasn't able to load the video here at work, but here is my all-time team.
QB- Flacco
RB- Lewis (narrowly over Rice)
FB- Leach
LT- Ogden
LG- Mulitalo
C- Birk
RG- Yanda
RT- O. Brown
TE- Heap
WR- Mason
WR #2- toss up between Michael Jackson/Torrey/Boldin/Ismail
D: Going with a 3-4
DE: McCrary
DT: Sam Adams
DE: Ngata, not your conventional DE, but he would be devastating next to Sam Adams circa 2000-01, plus we would get plenty of pass rush from McCrary/Suggs/Boulware/Adalius
OLB: Suggs
MLB: Lewis
MLB: Sharper- perhaps the most underrated Raven of all-time
MLB: Boulware for a career, Adalius Thomas for a 3 year burst from 04-06
CB: C. McAlister
CB: Webb
SS: Reed (2002-2005 version)
FS: Woodson

There's many easy players to pick and a few you could split hairs over. Overall I think the picks are good and the video was well done.

Re: Football Gameplan's Baltimore Ravens All-Time Team
Overall career for FB you have to go Lorenzo Neal. That guy was just the absolute best at his position for a very long time.
For Ravens career I would have to go with Sam Gash over Leach, but it's close. I give the edge to Gash due to larger emphasis on the run game when he was here.Last edited by HKusp; 04-09-2013 at 06:57 AM.

Re: Football Gameplan's Baltimore Ravens All-Time Team
What's the criteria? Overall career, or just in their time with the Ravens?
Either way the defense would be untouchable. Arguably the greatest all-time defense any team could field outside of possibly the Steelers

In a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).

Re: Football Gameplan's Baltimore Ravens All-Time Team
And one other thing...defensive coordinator would be Rex Ryan.
And the jury is still out, and it really is too soon, but I would pick offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell.
And the thinking there is he seems to know what to do with the talent he has and adapts the offense to the players. And yes, it is such a small body of work, BUT, he had been around Peyton Manning and that worked out pretty well, too. (even though he didn't call the plays there)
Head coach...Harbaugh (how can you argue with 5 straight playoffs).

Re: Football Gameplan's Baltimore Ravens All-Time Team
Any of the teams with long histories and multiple championships could field a damn fine defense. The Bears could field a competitive D just with their '85 team alone; let alone if they get the chance to add Butkus etc. The Cowboys, Giants and Niners could all field awesome all-time defenses, studded with Hall-of-Famers.
The Niners would get to put Patrick Willis and Ronnie Lott on the same squad, along with Bryant Young and, I dunno, Deion? The Giants would get to put Lawrence Taylor and Strahan on the same squad, along with Rosey Grier and Harry Carson. The Cowboys could trot out Bob Lilly, Randy White, Too Tall Jones, Lee Roy Jordan, Mel Renfro, Cornell Green...Last edited by JimZipCode; 04-09-2013 at 03:17 PM.

Re: Football Gameplan's Baltimore Ravens All-Time Team
Oh shit... Jimmy Smith's story is written yet. Just wait till he's on that list.
Just Kidding, Just Kidding. Impressive list though and it's fun to look back at all the players that have passed through. And, a lot on the list were still here, up 'til 2013 (i.e. Boldin, R. Lewis, Reed, maybe even Leach). God, could you imagine a J. Lew/R. Rice one-two punch.
