I'd go with either:

Top Three

DE--Dent
DT--Hampton
C---Krutz

Hon.Mention

Healthy Tommie Harris

Also: What would WalterP do in today's NFL with the modern offenses and training facilities?

(I turned 13 when McMahon got drafted so older players don't reside in my memory.)

I would go with a young Olin Kreutz. Can you picture a young Olin lining up next to Jenkins... definitely a dose of "The Nasty Boys" there for opposing D guys on gamedays. Olin had a 13 year career too. And he was elite for a long time.

I'm leaning more towards Kreutz though as I'm less confident in our OL then DL. Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top

So many good choices, but with the recent O-Line history, I'd have to go with Kreutz as well. But could you imagine Peppers or Mack opposite Sweat?

Hmmmm, maybe we should putt together an all-time All-Bears team...

We have a new center. I want to see him play before I decide he needs to be replaced. We went after him pretty hard and I have to believe there was a reason for it. I know for sure we don't have anyone opposite Sweat that is worth a darn

I know this player goes way back, I would go with Bronko Nagurski and Sweatness.. Can you imagine that pair?

Good point. Seems like I have a good point too, on the top of my hat, for forgetting about that new C.

I didn't think you forgot about him. I just thought that maybe you didn't like him
