Recently Deion Sanders griped that some players getting in the Hall shouldnt be there. He didnt give names but he did say that his jacket should be a different color for starting 11. Which shows as always it about prime time and no one else as there would actually be 22 starters 11 offense and 11 defense of course. It got me thinking who would your starting 22 be if you can only choose who is in the hall of fame (not who will be just who is already in). Part of the reason for asking is the fun of picking the starting 22. The other part is the wondering does Deion even make most peoples starting line up? Im still kicking a few things around on mine but will have it posted soon (hopefully).
Mel Blount and Rod Woodson were way better than Sanders and by no means am I saying that they would be my two starters, just that they are both better. Lem Barney was better. To me a CB needs to be a complete player not just great at covering. Sanders couldn’t tackle in the running game so he isn’t even close to the top. Dline Joe Green, Deacon Jones, Reggie White ILB Ray Lewis and Jack Lambert OLB Lawrence Taylor and Jack Ham CB Lem Barney and Mel Blount Safeties Ed Reed and Paul Krause Offense Mike Webster, Larry Little, John Hannah, Jonathan Ogden, Antony Munoz QB Joe Montana holding Brady’s spot until he gets there. Earl Campbell OJ Simpson Jerry Rice Randy Moss Mike Ditka Ray Guy Jan Stenerud
My bench would be, Terry Bradshaw Larry Czonka Barry Sanders Crazy Legs Hurch Lynn Swann Tony Gonzalez Jim Langer Joe Delemure Joe Thomas defense Jack Youngblood Randy White Mike Singletary Derrick Thomas Rod Woodson Herb Adderly
