Good point. Sometimes its not just talent that you need, but the right mix of talent.

Dream teams can sometimes suck, and team with several mediocre players can still succeed.

Exactly, look at our front 7 from 2009-2011 as a perfect example with players such as;

Jeff Charleston, Remi Ayodele, Anthony Hargrove, Danny Clark, Jo-lonn Dunbar, Bobby McCray

I wouldn't peg any of those guys as all pro's, but all played in a rotation suited to their abilities and all of them really embraced the team first attitude.

Yeah. What ever happened to Charleston? He was good in spot duty. Never really got to see the guy play after he as released.
