[BloodRaven]

Maybe... had a couple of bad seasons and missed all of '01.

3-4 front:

DL - Seymour
DL - Gregg
DL - Hampton

OLB - Ware
ILB - Urlacher ( I know he's never played it, but at something like 260 pounds, great footspeed and decent rushing skills, I think he'd have been better in a 3-4)
ILB - Lewis
OLB - Willie McGinest

4-3 front:

DE - Jason Taylor
DT - Kevin Williams
DT - Warren Sapp
DE - Mike Strahan

MLB - Ray Lewis
OLB - Derrick Brooks
OLB - Keith Bulluck

[size="2"]CB - Champ Bailey[/size]
[size="2"]FS - Ed Reed[/size]
[size="2"]SS - Troy Polamalu [/size]
[size="2"]CB - Nnamdi Asomugha[/size]

I tried to do it as if I was actually building a team, not who's stats I thought were most impressive. That's why Jerome Bettis got the nod because I'd want a power runner to give the D a different look to the electric LT, and why I went for Marshall over guys like Harrison, who's legend I'd argue is a creation of Manning moreso than Harrison. If I recall his stats pre Manning aren't exceptional.

[BloodRaven]

Oh snap I completely forgot Keith Bullock

Bullock > Julian Peterson

Also in regards to Urlacher, despite his size and the position he plays he isn't the most physical linebacker and would probably get washed in a 3-4.
