Am I missing anybody?
I don't know if any other conference could match this.
cool thread. I think you mean Eric Decker, (not Taylor), for WR
I'd go:
QB - Brady
RB - Wells
WR - Holmes, Decker
and the rest you have are pretty solid, too

Yeah I did mean Eric, thanks.
I kept the other guys on in case of injury.
I like to believe that my best hits border on felonious assault.

Edited.... Just read top line
Sean Lee
"Anything less than flagrant is just playing grab ass!"
Can't not have torrey smith at wide receiver. He's a former fightin turte!
Rob ninkovich from new england. And brandon graham. Two solid pass rushers having really nice seasons.
And throw vernon davis in there at tight end. Another former terrapin.
I'd throw in Shaun Phillips as well. Purdue alum.
And this guy.
maybe even start him. See what he's got. At least wildcat option or some other sneaky plays. Definitely starting on my Madden roster after I adjust some of his attributes.
Maybe start him over Brady and Brees? Ya...

Exactly.
The DBs listed tell you all you need to know about who is the true DB U
Sorry Urban, Woody is still my favorite
And he forgot Gamble...

This defense is ridiculous. You gotta have Will Smith as a back-up though.

Age is a factor for me, plus I feel like a homer when I put an OSU player in almost every position lol
Looks lsome good rosters...WR is a bit lacking i think
You guys are all missing Alex Boone who has been crushing people the last few years... He may be All-Pro this year.
D. Anthony
Anthony Spencer is having a hell of a year too
"Anything less than flagrant is just playing grab ass!"
I'll take Kirk Cousins over Tom Brady because Sparty is less offensive to me. Sorry, Tom. That's how it is.
Suh played for the big 12 Nebraska team. Stop pulling a BTN.
OP, Ray Rice went to Rutgers. Which, I guess you could now say is a former BIG player, it just seems like cheating.
no seriously - what about Alex Boone?

No one is giving Troy Smith a shot. :(
Also Plaxico should be up there as well.
"YOLO" = I'm about to do something extremely ignorant/stupid & I need an excuse to do it.
Is he even in the league anymore?

Chad Greenway is leading the NFL in tackles. Antoine Winfield is still one of the best cover corners and tacklers in the league.
Wayne Woodrow Hayes
Brian Hartline!?! He's having he'll of a year with a rookie QB
Wayne Woodrow Hayes
I will add him ,but I will say even though he has over 1,000 yards recieving.... he only has one touchdown on the year.

Id take Mikel Leshoure over Shonn Greene any day. I'd also put Nate Ebner on ST
Wayne Woodrow Hayes
OSU only Defense:
DL- Will Smith, Ryan Pickett, Quinn Pitcock, Rob Rose, Dexter Larimore, Doug Worthington, Thad Gibson, Darrion Scott
LBs-James Laurinaitis, AJ Hawk, Na'il Diggs, Ross Homan, Brian Rolle
CBs- Antoine Winfield, Nate Clements, Chris Gamble, Donald Washington, Chemdi Chekwa, Will Allen, Anderson Russell, Devon Torrence

A couple of these guys haven't played at all this year and are practice squad guys. Still an impressive list.
Wayne Woodrow Hayes
Kerrigan is pretty good as well.
I can only fit 52 men on a roster lol, I'd give you a preseason roster, but that's over 80 gentlemen to sort through and make roster cuts.. too painful.
