As it's the dead zone and there is nothing to talk about I thought I'd start something a little different.

Basically, pick a team of your all time favourite players to watch. Not necessarily the 'best' players, or even a balanced team, just choose the players that you have enjoyed watching the most. Obviously try to keep it to players who have been playing in your football watching life time, so if you are 18 don't go picking Jonny Unitas. I've been following football since 2001, so my team reflects that.

QB - Mike 'Ron Mexico' Vick - Terrible human being, but absolutely electric on the football field. I don't think there has been a player as exciting to watch as Vick was at his prime for those 2 or 3 years after he entered the league. Unpredictable, outrageously gifted and with the arm strength to throw it anywhere. Awesome on Madden too.

RB - Fred Taylor / MJD Combo - Totally cheating here, but that season when they both almost got 1000 yards was immense. Particularly the Colts game where we absolutely pounded them into oblivion, with Freddy running over Doss and then looking back at him. The style of both runners complemented each other so well, Taylor so elegant and smooth and Mojo with the power and burst.

FB - Mike Alstott -  Loved this guy. Hard nosed blue-collar pounder.

WR - Randy Moss - Prototype WR. Looked like a gazelle running by people and could make outrageous catches look easy. Silky player.

WR -  Steve Smith - Tough [BLEEP], I always loved seeing him take a short pass and look immediately to dish out a stiff arm to the closest player. Played with such a chip on his shoulder and would've been a nightmare for DBs. Beat you short, beat you deep, beat you up.

WR - Hines Ward - I'm sure some people will be disgusted by this pick, but again a tough [BLEEP] who was so reliable and fought so hard for every inch.

TE - Gronk - Basically a cartoon super hero playing TE.

O-Line - Can't really choose favourites. I'll just take any 5 good ones...

DE - JJ Watt - Controversial again, but at his best he was just so much fun to watch (as long at it wasn't against the Jags). Tossed people around like rag dolls and even caught TDs. Monster.

DE - Calais Campbell - Such a cool dude and played last year at the highest level any defender has ever played in Jacksonville. Totally dominant and you can see the leadership just radiating from him.

DT - John Henderson - Loved Stroud, but Big John the Baby Eater was my favourite. Loved seeing him devour players in the backfield. And the slap video.

DT - Warren Sapp - Entertaining player to watch, feel he might've been a bit overhyped but was great to watch.

OLB - Telvin Smith - 5th round pick has become one of the most consistent tacklers and big play threats in the entire league. Again, such a likable dude.

MLB - Ray Lewis - Again questionable as a human, but his presence on a football field was undeniable. Force of nature.

OLB - Paul Posluszny - Cheating again with position a bit. Prototype LB, hard working thumper who lead by example and dominated on the field.

CB - Jalen Ramsey - Everything you want in a CB. Outrageously talented with the attitude to match. Can make crazy plays on the ball and smack the **** out of opponents too.

CB - Patrick Peterson - Again just obscene talent and athletic ability. Can do anything type of player.

FS - Ed Reed - One of those defensive players that have more ball skills than 90% of offensive players. Could read the game like no other.

SS - Troy Polamalu - Damn he was entertaining with his hair flapping around as he put licks on players and went jumping over the line of scrimmage.

* Main conclusion - I feel really lucky to be able to watch this Jags Defense every week, we need to enjoy this while we can.
