By the way Gaslight, most British teams play a 4-4 or a 3-5 D, 4-3 is rare due to the few teams who will pass the ball at will.

4-4 DE is mostly outside contain and gap plugging, certainly in our D anyway.

First game of the season next week.

So in a 4-4 would an OLB play like a "traditional" 3-4 OLB or be more predominantly dropping into zones?

Because if there isn't anywhere that's pass rush minded TE or even strong safety are other areas I've had a go at (QB too, but that'll be the hardest to get a sniff at starting )

DeAngelo Williams a game time decision! I could well be down to 0 RB's!

OLB tend to be covering outside zones, either Deep or Flats. No real need for huge pass rushers in Britain, it's all about the run.

Stick Mike Goodson in he will get you a few points (more than someone that isnt playing anyway)

On another note, Ryan Pickett and Charles Woodson get seriously bummed over at the end of the season on Madden! -6 and -5 respectively! Ouchee!

I take it that is off their Madden rankings?

On another Packers note. Brad Jones has been IR'ed along with Braddy Poppinga and Mike Neal making 10 IR's for the year. 5 being starters.

Our defence is a shambles now. These guys will face the Jets most probably.

Front 3- Wilson, Raji, Wynn
LB's- Zombo, Hawk, Bishop, Matthews
DB's- Woodson, Williams, Peprah, Collins

Of those only 4 (Hawk, Matthews, Woodson and Collins) started on our top 2 defence last season. Add Williams and Raji who became starters this year, through injury and suspension and we only have 6 starters from the beggining of THIS year. It isn't even that we are losing starters but then back-ups are going down also. Pickett and Jenkins are hurt, and still out for a week or two, and we've also lost their back-up Neal.

The Jets will run all over us.

Willing to listen to offers for Michael Vick in fantasy land.

I hope Rivers survives the dirtiest team in the NFL on Sunday!
