Who would you like to see start on opening day?

saintswhodi · 07-01-2005, 10:13 AM

Let's say every player on the team plays up to their FULL potential, what would you like to see as our starting line-up?

QB-A-Mac, I am done with Brooks. Trade him for some live bait or something. Although at full potential, Brooks may be something special, I am going with the young guy with the cheaper salary and first round talent who hasn't burned me 100x before.
RB-Deuce
WR-Joe, Donte, and Devery as the number 3
TE-Boo and Zach
OL-Stinch, Holland, Bentley, Mayberry, and Brown
DT-Green and Leisle(Young as the reserve. I don't think Sully has the talent or potential people claim)
DE-Smith and Grant(Howard is traded, Bryant is a reserve stud)
LB-Watson(WLB), Finch(MLB), Colby(SLB)
CB-McKenzie and Thomas(to me, Thomas at his best was better than Brown)
S-Smith(SS) Bullocks (FS)
K-We got no choice but Carney right? No FGs longer than 45 yards though.
P-Berger

I know my line-up won't be the most popular. Who do you guys wanna see at full potential start against Carolina?

QB - Brooks I'm willing to give him another year. He's not THAT bad.
RB - Deuce
WR - Horn, Donte, Henderson/Poole
TE - Hilton Put the boy on the field so we can see what he can do.
OL - Stinch, Holland/Jacox (doesn't matter I like both), Bentley,
Mayberry, Brown
DT - Green and a Sullivan that weighs 320... is that possible?
DE - Grant and Howard with Smith alternating once again (Howard trade
unlikely... a dream that's not going to happen)
LB - Allen, Finch/Watson, Colby I like Allen's size and speed. I think
he's going to be a breakout year along with Colby. Let's Watson
and Finch battle it out. That's the position we need to worry about.
CB - McKenzie and Thomas A rejuvenated Thomas was one of the top
guys around. Stats don't lie. Now only if he can get back to that
level and instead of batting the ball down, he'll catch it.
S - Smith and Bullocks. Two ballhawks, gotta love that.
K - Someone other than Carney.
P - Berger

LB-Watson, Finch, Colby
CB-McKenzie and Craft
S-Smith(SS) Bullocks (FS)
K-Fikse
P-Berger

QB - Brooks - even not at full potential he is the best we have right now,
RB-Deuce - no question
WR-Joe, Donte, and whomever breaks out of the rest of the pack
TE-Boo
OL-Stinch, Holland, Bentley, Mayberry, and Brown
DT-Green and Leisle
DE-Grant and Howard -- Smith in off the bench
LB-Watson(WLB), Fincher(MLB), Colby(SLB)
CB-McKenzie and Thomas -- think McKenzie will even be better this year == Thomas underated -- is much better as the second dback
S-Smith(SS) Bullocks (FS)

WhoDat · 07-01-2005, 12:31 PM

QB - Brooks... for now.
RB - Deuce
FB - Karney
LT - Stinchcomb
LG - Holland
C - Bentley
RG - Mayberry
RT - Brown
WR - Horn, Stallworth (3rd being Poole)
TE - Meier (then Boo, Hilton, Conwell)

DE - Rotation: Grant, Howard, Smith, Bryant
DT - Rotation: Green, Young, Leisle, Jefferson, Howard, Whitehead, Sully - I guess
SLB - Allen/Watson
MLB - Watson/Finch
WLB - Buckwoldt
CB - McKenzie & Brown, Thomas as nickel (hopefully Craft steps up and is the real nickel)
S - Bellamy & Smith. I'd like to see Bullocks get real playing time at either S spot this season.

zachsaints52 · 07-01-2005, 12:37 PM

QB - Brooks
RB-Deuce
WR-Joe, Donte, 3rd being Lewis

LB-Watson(WLB), Fincher(MLB), Colby(SLB)
CB-McKenzie and Thomas
S-Smith(SS) Bullocks (FS)

I'd line that thing in your avatar up on D LOE. I bet she... er... it could play in the middle.

LordOfEntropy · 07-01-2005, 04:07 PM

Good idea. I think we should pair her with a couple other viscous players... I can see it....

Chalmette Bimbette, Mephistopholes, and Baalzebub at LB - now that'd be like the dome patrol of old!

FireVenturi · 07-02-2005, 12:35 PM

QB-Brooks- This year A-Mac at QB would be a disaster
RB-Deuce
WR-Horn, Donte, Hakim
TE-Meier,Hilton. Boo has the talent but should be forced to prove it in a backup role.
T-Gandy, Brown. Dont think stinch is ready
G-Holland, Mayberry
C-Bentley

DE- Howard, Grant
DT-Sully(hesitant), Green
SLB-Allen
MLB-Fincher
WLB-Watson/Bockwoldt
CB-McKenzie,Brown
S-Smith, Bellamy(bullocks in passing situation-3rd and long,etc)

KR- Hakim and Lewis(WOW)-pick your poison
PR-Lewis
