I think i have the most underrated offense in this entire thing. I have a Super Bowl winning quarterback, the most versatile backfield, and a young up and coming receiver corps. Shonn Green will get the majority of the carries, with McClain coming in taking fullback duties and short yardage carries and Sproles coming in for third and longs. I have my "white slot possession" guy, Crabtree and Sims Walker are legit ones and will benefit from playing with Manning as opposed to their own QBs. I have Meachem as my playmaker off of screen passes and trick plays, and Edelman so I can run a little wildcat if I want. Building this team, I wanted versatility offensively, and talent defensively.

 

I also think I have by far the best defense in this entire scheme. Hali and Lawson are good edge guys, and I got two of the better MLBs in the NFL with their speed and athleticism in Hawk and Ruud. My secondary is probably the best in the league as well. Because of their youth and where they play, not many people know who Talib and Flowers are, and let me tell you, they can f***ing play.

 

ST wise, I have 3 guys who can return punts in Edelman, Sproles and Meachem, and they're all pretty elite at what they do. Prater is a good and accurate kicker and Colquitt is a very good punter as well.

If msu doesn't post something (which he won't because he sort of left the league) are we just supposed to vote for YH by default?

[WhiskeyBreath]

Not in my opinion. Just look at both teams and post which one you think would win.

[yankees228]

No, I don't think so. The game plan/explanations should help a team's case if they're persuasive and logical, but I don't think they're required.

[italstallianion]

No, but I think we should be allowed to vote tomorrow morning. Granted most people would probably vote for YH anyway.

[TheKilo]

I picked most of msu's team and inhab a hard time arguing against YH here. Bowe has proven me wrong and has become a matchup nightmare for anyone in this league but I think YH has a top 3 defense in this league and Belichick will be able to scheme against him. Matt Ryan is great but im not sure how he beats this defense. On a neutral field, I think YH could be favored by 5-7 points (I don't love his offense but I think it's in the top half of this league).

[yankees228]

I think YH213 should have been higher than he was, and I think he wins this matchup. I basically echo most of TK's points. MSU will have a very difficult time moving the ball against an absolutely dominant defense, and he should be able to score enough points to win.

 

I look forward to the matchup I anticipate between myself and YH, and will enjoy coming up with the "game-plan".

[WhiskeyBreath]

YH here.

 

His defense is obviously really good and will not allow many points to msu's off.

 

I really don't like msu's DEF and while I'm not extremely high on YH offense, they put up plenty of points here.

[italstallianion]

While I don't necessarily agree with a lot of what YH said about his offense or defense, I still think that he'd beat MSU's team. Kilo did do a good job salvaging MSU's draft, and in my opinion brought MSU's team up a few ranks. That said, I think YH's defense will win him the matchup. I think he set up his 3-4 defense well, and while I don't think it's the best defense in the league, or even the best 3-4 defense, you can tell that he picked his players well for his scheme, and his defense is complete, from lineman to the secondary. MSU does have some good offensive talents, and while I don't think YH's offense is good enough to light up MSU's defense, but I think his offense can score enough points to let his defense comfortably win the game.

 

I'm not sure who faces who in later rounds, but if YH does face Y228, then I'm definitely going to get my popcorn ready.

[yankees228]

Yeah, that should be a lot of fun. No offense to boston's team, but it just wasn't really necessary for me to come up with any kind of special schemes against his team. But going forward, against the better teams, I'm really going to enjoy the 'game-planning' aspect of this, especially coming up with defensive strategies against the opposing offenses.

YH213, msu would struggle scoring points against his dominant defense.
