I'm not putting a ton of thought into this, so any input is great....just spit-balling a current ALL-OSU football team, and what it would look like:
Here would be my starting line-up. Help fill in the depth or correct any mistakes....
QB: Troy Smith
RB: Chris Wells
WR: Anthony Gonzalez
WR: Teddy Ginn
WR: Santonio Holmes
TE: Ben Hartsock
*Offensive line gets tricky due to lack of players....so hypothetically under current curcumstances, I'm thinking...
LT: Orlando Pace
G: Rob Sims
C: Nick Mangold
G: Alex Stepnovich
RT: Alex Boone/Kirk Barton
Defensively I'm calling for a 3-4:
DE: Will Smith
NT: Ryan Pickett
DE: Kenny Peterson
OLB: Vernon Gholston
ILB: Mike Vrabel
ILB: James Laurinitis
OLB: AJ Hawk
CB: Antoine Winfield/Chris Gamble
CB: Nate Clements
SS: Donte Whitner
FS: Malcolm Jenkins
Offensively, if you had to pull back-ups, even guys not on rosters, I suppose you'd go:
QB: Craig Krenzel, Justin Zwick
RB: Antonio Pittman, Jonothan Wells
WR: Joey Galloway
WR: Michael Jenkins
WR: Roy Hall/Brian Hartline/Robiskie/Drew Carter, etc....
TE: Darnell Sanders
*Again O-line in very tough....
OT: Barton or Boone
G: Doug Datish
C: ?
G: Adrien Clarke ?
OT: Just don't know
*Shane Olivia unfortunately should be on this list, but addiction problems......
Defensive back-ups:
DE: Jay Richardson
NT: Tim Anderson
DE: Rodney Bailey
OLB: Larry Grant
ILB: Na'il Diggs
ILB: Bobby Carpenter
OLB: Marcus Freeman
CB: Antoine Winfield/Chris Gamble
CB: Ashton Youboty
SS: Nate Salley
FS: Shawn Springs
P: B.J. Sanders (not in league)
K: Mike Nugent
Special teamers:
Ryan Reynolds
Anthony Schegel
Will Allen
Kevin Houser
Donnie Nickey
Mike Doss
Donald Washington
Anyways, the biggest weakness is OL depth and QB. I think Troy could be a solid NFL QB but unproven. The WR group is lethal. The depth at WR and DB is astounding. Just loaded. Overall the offense is a huge question mark. Playmakers yes, OL to open it up....no. TE is suspect at best as well.
FB is tough. Not sure we currently have any in the league (last I remember is Jamar Martin). Nick Goings shouldn't count on this list.
So, anyways, what would you change to the list? Is 3-4 the right way to go with our amazing coup of LB's in the league? Or would you maybe go 4-3 and slide Gholston to a more natural DE position in a 4-3 opposite Will Smith? Admittedly, using my 3-4 scheme, we are VERY vulnerable from the NT position. I was just looking at getting as many playmakers on the field.
I think the defense would be a top notch unit in the NFL. That secondary is sick. I put Malcolm at safety just to get him on the field. A unit of Whitner, Jenkins, Winfield, Clements, with Gamble as nickle would be unheard of. A dime package would just be lock-down as well too.
Thoughts?
