Ty21 Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 Also we will suspend belief by saying a previous 4-3/Tampa scheme fit guy/other player that only work with certain sets work even in our current setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBears019 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I’m gonna use players only from my lifetime. Defense: Tommie Harris (Mike Brown and Charles Tillman are both close seconds) Offense: .....this is wayyy tougher. Forte? Olsen? Kreutz? Cutler? I really don’t know...shows how bad we’ve been offensively for so long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAF-N72EX Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Defense: Peppers. Him opposite of Mack is a dream come true. Plus his ability to use his length on STs to block kicks would be icing. Offense: Forte. Prime Forte in an RPO system along with Monty would be a very good 1-2 punch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abstract_thought Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Offense: Gale Sayers, I think he'd be incredible in the modern era Defense: Peppers (Urlacher and Tillman are very close) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardown3231 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Offense: Frank Omiyale (honorable mention: J'Marcus Webb, Brock Forsey, Josh Bellamy) Defense: Harold Jones Quartey (honorable mention: Jerrell Freeman, RW McQuarters, Will Sutton) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topwop1 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Offense has to be Sweetness obviously. Honorable mentions are Sayers and Forte. Defense is a tough one but my pick would be Urlacher. He is really like having a defensive coordinator out there on the field. He made our defenses so much better and opposing QBs like Rodgers hated playing against him.

Bowler1215 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Offense: Jimbo Covert our O-line needs improvement(I'll be honest, I don't remember which position he played, I was 8 when we won the Super Bowl) Honorable mentions-Sweetness, Gault, Defense: Mike Singletary with him and Mack, our pass rush improves. Honorable mentions Dent, Danimal, Peppers, Tommie Harris, Tillman, Urlacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugashane Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Offense - Payton or Cutler Defense - Peppers Payton and Monty would be a hellish duo. Payton being a better receiver too. Cutler will challenge all levels of the field though. Prime Pep and Mack both hitting the QB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First round picks only edition! Cade McNown and Shea McClellin Leonard Floyd and Kevin White Michael Haynes and Chris Williams Rex Grossman and Alonzo Spellman Man this organization really sucks at drafting overall in first round since 1991 (mostly). Batting avg. is abysmal. Look at it at let your face melt like you just opened Ark of Covenant: 1991 22 Stan Thomas OT Texas 1992 22 Alonzo Spellman DE Ohio State 1993 7 Curtis Conway WR Southern California 1994 11 John Thierry DE Alcorn State 1995 21 Rashaan Salaam HB Colorado 1996 13 Walt Harris † DB Mississippi State 1997 — No pick [t] 1998 5 Curtis Enis HB Penn State 1999 12 Cade McNown QB UCLA 2000 9 Brian Urlacher ^ LB/S New Mexico 2001 8 David Terrell WR Michigan 2002 29 Marc Colombo OT Boston College 2003 14 Michael Haynes DE Penn State [v] 2003 22 Rex Grossman QB Florida [v] 2004 14 Tommie Harris † DT Oklahoma 2005 4 Cedric Benson HB Texas 2006 — No pick (traded to Buffalo) [w] 2007 31 Greg Olsen † TE Miami 2008 14 Chris Williams OT Vanderbilt 2009 — No pick (traded to Denver for Jay Cutler) [x] 2010 — 2011 29 Gabe Carimi OT Wisconsin 2012 19 Shea McClellin DE Boise State 2013 20 Kyle Long † OT Oregon 2014 14 Kyle Fuller † CB Virginia Tech 2015 7 Kevin White WR West Virginia 2016 9 Leonard Floyd LB Georgia 2017 2 Mitchell Trubisky † QB North Carolina 2018 8 Roquan Smith LB Georgia 2019 — No pick (traded to Oakland for Khalil Mack) 2020 Look what we did from '79 to '86 in contrast: 1979 4 Dan Hampton ^ DT Arkansas [q] 1979 9 Al Harris DE Arizona State 1980 19 Otis Wilson † LB Louisville 1981 11 Keith Van Horne OT Southern California 1982 5 Jim McMahon † QB Brigham Young 1983 6 Jim Covert ^ OT Pittsburgh 1983 18 Willie Gault WR Tennessee [r] 1984 11 Wilber Marshall † LB Florida 1985 22 William Perry DT Clemson 1986 27 Neal Anderson † HB Florida What a bloody difference. Even Perry was a stud for a season. If he didn't become mentally ill he would have been a great pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty21 Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Charles Tillman is an interesting option. With Jaylon out we are using scrap at CB and opposing offenses are doing whatever they want. Tillman instantly helps out in coverage and forces peanut punch turnovers. Urlacher was all around decent, good speed, good play reading, intelligence, coverage, able to get after the qb, but couldn’t take on blocks lol. Would be an immediate upgrade over Trevathan. Peppers does for the defense what we wanted Quinn to do but never could, and getting prime peppers means getting him at his Carolina best, not Chicago subpar. Tommie Harris also shores up the middle and destroys the run, and opens Mack up. Think I’m rolling with TH here. On offense, prime Cutty at his best is better than any QB we have or have had. Forte opens up the dink and dunk offense we’ve been running and gives a change of pace for Monty, who is better at other things and is only good at one thing. Bmarsh opens up the offense more, as we’d add a talent in the passing game other than Robinson. OL is kinda intriguing but we aren’t going to find a OL good enough to help the offense fire on all cylinders. The choice between Cutler and Forte is super difficult but I’m rolling with Cutty Edited January 6, 2021 by Ty21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I would take Jimbo Covery on the OL, Urlacher to take Roquans spot. Honorable mention for making me remember both Omiyale and Will Sutton. Mods, set this man on fire please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
