A few of the teams got their butts kicked by 'smokey'...

Okay, all. What about the enclosed file as a final presentation for the voting? You can input your players into the file and upload it again until we get all the teams. You can then provide a short description like mine below.

IMPORTANT - Note the starts as the starts on YOUR team, not the NFL. You can start a guy up to the number of games in which he appeared. For example, a guy who appeared in 12 games with 2 starts in the NFL can be your starter for up to 12 games. If you're in a crunch, you can start someone who didn't appear, but you have to note it. Go to the ESPN pro bowl rosters and they'll show you if someone was a pro bowl starter, backup, or replacement player.

Ideally, list the stats exactly like mine are shown in the file to make comparisons easier. For some of my guys who would've never seen the field (e.g., Jamarcus Russell), I didn't bother to list stats.

Also, I royally screwed up and accidentally deleted the master file with all the rosters on it. Did I send it to anyone? Can you post it?



Bradenton Super-Manatees


Team Summary - The Super-Manatees thrived on defense this year, putting six pro bowlers on the field in key positions. We had only 8 missed starts on defense, and our primary starters logged 40.5 sacks, 19 interceptions, and had an amazing 87 passes defensed. Three pro bowl defensive backs and two pro bowl defensive ends stopped the pass, and our pro bowl middle linebacker helped shut down the run.

The offense relied on strong blocking (3 pro bowl linemen + a pro bowl FB) and on Kurt Warner to help a not-so-famous set of skill players produce. We had 3 70+ catch receivers. The offense was hurt, though, by injuries to our starting HB, TE, RT, and third-down back.


QB
Warner,Kurt QB ACT ARI BSM 15 starts - Available 16 games, 93.2 Rating, 3753 yards, 26 TDs, 14 Ints, 66.1 completion %
Sanchez,Mark QB ACT NYJ BSM 1 start - Available 16 games, 63.0 Rating, 2444 yards, 12 TDs, 20 Ints, 53.8 completion %
Leinart,Matt QB ACT ARI BSM Available all 16 games
Russell,JaMarcus QB ACT OAK BSM Available all 16 games

QB Summary - Warner was a solid starter for us, missing 1 game due to injury. Sanchez was our backup, and the other two guys never saw the field, thankfully.

HB
Portis,Clinton RB ACT WAS BSM 8 starts, Available 8 games, 4.0 ypc, 124 carries for 494 yards, 9 receptions for 57 yards, 1 fumble
Addai,Joseph RB ACT IND BSM 8 starts, Available 15 games, 3.8 ypc, 219 carries for 828 yards, 51 receptions for 336 yards, 1 fumble
Washington,Leon RB ACT NYJ BSM Available 7 games, 4.6 ypc, 72 carries for 331 yards, 15 receptions for 131 yards, 1 fumble

FB
Weaver, Leonard FB ACT PHI BSM Pro Bowl Starter - 16 starts - Available 16 games, 4.6 ypc, 73 carries, 15 receptions for 140 yards, 0 fumbles

RB Summary - Portis was off to an okay start but we lost him at mid-season. Washington was a great third-round back, but we lost him at mid-season. We rode Addai the rest of the way, with our great fullback Leonard Weaver getting some carries to spell him. Running game wasn't that strong due to injuries, but we had good blocking ahead of them, and Weaver was the top fullback in the league.

WR
Mason,Derrick WR ACT BAL BSM 16 starts, Available 16 games, 73 receptions, 1028 yards, 14.1 average, 0 fumbles
Moss,Santana WR ACT WAS BSM 16 starts, Available 16 games, 70 receptions, 902 yards, 12.9 average, 2 fumbles
Bess,Davone WR ACT MIA BSM 16 starts, Available 16 games, 76 receptions, 758 yards, 10.0 average, 6 fumbles
Coles,Laveranues WR ACT CIN BSM Available 16 games, 43 receptions, 514 yards, 12.0 average, 0 fumbles
Stuckey,Chansi WR ACT NYJ BSM Available 15 games, 30 receptions, 318 yards, 10.6 average, 0 fumbles
Williamson,Troy WR ACT JAC BSM Available 2 games

TE
Cooley,Chris TE ACT WAS BSM 7 starts, Available 7 games, 29 receptions, 332 yards, 11.4 average, 1 fumbles
Heap,Todd TE ACT BAL BSM 9 starts, Available 16 games, 53 receptions, 593 yards, 11.2 average, 1 fumbles
Estandia,Greg TE ACT JAC BSM Available 6 games


Receiver Summary - We were about what we expected here, lots of little receivers running around getting lots of catches. We didn't scare anybody on an individual basis, but as a team I think our receivers were a good match for Warner's quick release. It hurt to lose Cooley mid-season, but Heap was a reasonable backup.


OT
Long,Jake T ACT MIA BSM Pro Bowl Starter - 16 starts, available 16 games
Starks,Max T ACT PIT BSM 16 starts, available 16 games
Thomas,Tra T ACT JAC BSM Available 8 games
Brown,Jammal T ACT NO BSM Available 0 games

G
Dielman,Kris G ACT SD BSM Pro Bowl backup, 16 starts, available 16 games
Snee,Chris G ACT NYG BSM Pro bowl replacement, 16 starts, available 16 games
Jean-Gilles,Max G ACT PHI BSM Available 13 games
Williams,Maurice G ACT JAC BSM Available 5 games

C
Raiola,Dominic C ACT DET BSM 16 starts, available 16 games
Norman,Dennis C ACT JAC BSM Available 10 games

O-Line Summary

We last Jammal Brown for the year in preseason, which hurt. However, we still had three pro bowlers and two solid vets on the line to protect Warner and block for Addai. The line would be the key for us.

K
Gostkowski,Stephen K ACT NE BSM 16 starts, 83% Field Goals, 100% EP, 67.8 Kickoff Distance, Average Return 24.4

P
Scifres,Mike P ACT SD BSM 16 starts, 45.0 gross, 39.2 net, 23 in 20 vs. 2 touchbacks

Kicking Game Summary - Can't complete at all. Good kicker, good punter.



FS
Delmas,Louis FS ACT DET BSM 15 starts, Available 15 games, 94 tackles, 1.0 sack, 2 int, 8 passes defensed, 0 FF, 1 safety
Page,Jarrad FS ACT KC BSM 1 start, available 5 games, 19 tackles, 0 sacks, 0 int, 2 passes def, 1 FF

SS
Wilson,Adrian SS ACT ARI BSM Pro bowl starter, 16 starts, Available 16 games, 74 tackles, 2.0 sacks, 5 int, 13 passes defensed, 1 FF
Considine,Sean SS ACT JAC BSM Available 11 games, 35 tackles, 0 sacks, 1 int, 4 passes defensed, 0 FF

CB
Revis,Darrelle CB ACT NYJ BSM Pro Bowl starter, 16 starts, Available 16 games, 54 tackles, 0 sacks, 6 int, 31 passes defensed, 0 FF
Bailey,Champ CB ACT DEN BSM Pro Bowl backup, 16 starts, Available 16 games, 74 tackles, 0 sacks, 3 int, 15 passes defensed, 1 FF
Brackenridge,Tyron DB ACT JAC BSM Available 16 games, 33 tackles, 0 sacks, 0 int, 4 passes defensed, 2 FF
Smith,Alphonso CB ACT DEN BSM Available 6 games
Witherspoon,Brian DB ACT JAC BSM Available 8 games

Defensive backfield Summary - Here's where we rule. Three pro bowl starters, and good ones at that. When you consider our strong pass rush, I think we had a shutdown defense this year. Our DBs were very strong, and rookie Delmas did well at free safety. Our big weakness was the lack of a nickel back, as Alphonso Smith was a rookie bust.


OLB
Shaun Phillips OLB ACT SD BSM 16 starts, available 16 games, 59 tackles, 7 sacks, 0 Int, 4 passes def., 7 FF
Fujita,Scott OLB ACT NO BSM 11 starts, available 11 games, 58 tackles, 1 sack, 0 int, 2 passes def., 2 FF
Rivers,Keith OLB ACT CIN BSM 5 starts, available 13 games, 72 tackles, 1 sack, 1 int, 2 passes def., 0 FF
Ingram,Clint OLB ACT JAC BSM Available 13 games, 52 tackles, 1 sacks, 0 int, 0 passes defensed, 0 FF

ILB
Fletcher,London MLB ACT WAS BSM Pro bowl replacement, 16 starts, available 16 games, 142 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 Int, 6 passes def., 1 FF
Barnett,Nick MLB ACT GB BSM Available 16 games, 105 tackles, 4 sacks, 0 Int, 7 passes def., 0 FF

Linebacker Summary - This was a huge concern going into the season since I didn't invest high draft picks in this area. However, Phillips was strong and a playmaker, and Fletcher shut down the middle. On the other side, I had hoped for Keith Rivers to blossom, but Fujita actually took the job and held it other than an injury for a few games.

DE
Allen,Jared DE ACT MIN BSM Pro bowl starter, 16 starts, available 16 games, 51 tackles, 14.5 sacks, 1 Int, 4 passes def., 5 FF, 1 safety
Williams,Mario DE ACT HOU BSM Pro Bowl backup, 16 starts, available 16 games, 43 tackles, 9 sacks, 0 Int, 3 passes def., 2 FF
Groves,Quentin DE ACT JAC BSM Available 16 games, 30 tackles, 0 sacks, 1 Int, 1 passes def., 1 FF
Hayward,Reggie DE ACT JAC BSM Available 1 game, 1 sack

DT
Harris,Tommie DT ACT CHI BSM 15 starts, available 15 games, 24 tackles, 2.5 sacks, 1 Int, 1 passes def., 0 FF
Mebane,Brandon DT ACT SEA BSM 15 starts, available 15 games, 49 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 0 Int, 0 passes def., 0 FF
Robbins,Fred DT ACT NYG BSM 2 starts, available 16 games, 25 tackles, 2 sacks, 0 Int, 5 passes def., 0 FF
Harrison,Marcus DT ACT CHI BSM Available 16 games, 24 tackles, 1 sacks, 0 Int, 0 passes def., 0 FF
Landri,Derek DT ACT JAC BSM Available 7 games, 1 sack

Defensive Line Summary - Strong area of the team here. Our ends are the best in the business, and while we didn't have much depth, we never took Allen and Williams off the field anyway. We had a strong 3-man rotation at tackle that could stop the run and rush the passer.


Kick Returns

Leon Washington 7 starts, Available 7 games, 24.1 ypr, 16 returns
Alphonso Smith 6 starts, Available 6 games, 18.8 ypr, 4 returns
Davone Bess Available 16 games, no returns


Punt Returns
Davone Bess 16 starts, Available 16 games, 7.5 ypr, 28 returns
Santana Moss Available 16 games, 4.7 ypr, 11 returns
Alphonso Smith Available 6 games, 4.7 ypr, 10 returns

Kick Return Summary - Bit of a bust here. Washington got hurt, Bess didn't have a great year, and no one else stepped up. Not very good.

We should, but I wondered if it would be easier for people to judge performance if they saw the full stats. So if your backup runner gained 1500 yards at 4.5 yards per clip, it'd be pretty obvious that he was good even if you didn't need him for all that.


Nice team you've got there. Your skill position guys came through pretty strong. It seems like you had a few injury problems at tackle and linebacker that may haunt you, but that may hurt you less than me losing 2 of my 3 halfbacks at midseason.

Wow, Brandon Carr had 25 passes defensed? Revis had 31 for me and blew away everyone else on my team, so I presumed that he was a huge outlier. Maybe not.

Why only TD stats for QBs?

My concern was that people see TD numbers and it might start leading to a fantasy scoring mentality, when it's really about figuring out who's got the best team. A player might get a ton of touchdowns because he plays with Peyton Manning, or he might get 2 touchdowns because he plays behind a bad line, so touchdowns seem to me more reflective of a real-life team. (All stats are, and I pondered having us not list stats at all - what do you think?)

I included QB touchdowns primarily as a counterpart to interceptions since TD/Int ratios are commonly used as an evaluation.

If I don't get stats from a lot of people, we may not have a lot of choice, either. We may have to go stat-free.

Pretty strong D you ended up with there.

53 Man Roster for LOs Angeles Purple Cobras:

The Purple Cobras were built as a team with the team concept being held in the utmost respect. Though the team had 8 pro bowlers this is a team and there are no idividuals we win as a team and lose as a team. With a dominating D led by ray lewis, James Harrison, and the emergence of youngsters akeem jordan, Aubrayo Franklin, and Rey Mauluga the front seven was dominating stopping the run dead in its tracks. The bread and butter of this D however is the deffensive backfield of Porter, Flowers, Rolle and a rotation of Mikell and Merriweather teams found it hard to pass on the cobras consistently. Although there were many injuries and suggs didn't play up to potential this D came together to be the heart and soul of this team

The purple Cobras offense took a major gamble but sometimes gambles payoff. First they traded with MIle high Gm to secure the qb of the future Matt Cassel , but gm chiefscafan questioned wheteher they needed a vetran on this team. Much maligned for the pick gm chiefscafan took a gamble and it ended up playing off. He took a flyer on Brett Favre hoping maybe he would give it another season. Well with much convincing he did decide to give it one more try and rewarded the purple cobras with over 4,000 yrds passing and 33 TDs. Now for most offenses that would be enough but the cobras took yet another gamble and decided to make their first selection the young RB Chris JOhnson with thier first pick overall. Wow did that ever pay off with a over 2,000 yrd season. No team is perfect however and the WR core is good but young so the sky is the limit for this core but right now the stats are low.

Now on to special teams arguably the best returner in the game in Josh Cribbs is on this team who contributed 3 kick off TDS and one PR touch downs. Still showed why he is considered the most dangerous kick returner in the game today. The cobras are also excited to add Brandon Tate to Cribbs to form the most dynamic return duo ever.

KIcking and punting two professionals who exceded expectations in Bironas who averaged 84.4 yrds and was a perfect 37-37 on extra points. Punting the cobras also had one of the best in the game in Donnie JOnes who avg 46.8 yrds a punt and had 34 punts downed inside the 20 yard line.


There may be better teams with an O or a D but I doubt there is a team as complete as the Los Angeles Purple cobras who are solid in all there aspects of offense, deffense and special teams. The cobras are excited about next season because with some added youth and the maturation of the receiving core this is gonna be one of the teams to beat.

LOL

Top, just so I can pull rosters.

Hey guys - I just sent RainMan a note. I have been unable to do anything with this ... I started it back when the first note was sent, but I've been swamped. I think you may need to take me up on the offer from last year and find a new GM.
