Dallas Carter Cowboys

Coaching Staff
HC: Paul Brown
OC: Kyle Shannahan
DC: Rex Ryan


Offence Strategy:


We are living in 11 personnel. EJ will be the main RB when we are in shotgun, Dorsett will be rb2 for Shotgun carries. T.O will be in the slot who we move around to use for mismatch. AJ, Michael Irvin will be on the outside. The second 11 personnel line up will be Jimmy Graham in the slot, AJ and Owens on the outside with Kittle at TE and Dorsett at RB.

This is going to be a Kyle Shannahan offence. Expect a lot of eye candy and hopefully it will minimize the amount of Favre being a gunslinger and throwing crazy passes, as Shannahan can scheme some dudes open.

Offence:
QB: Brett Favre
RB: Tony Dorsett
RB: Edgerrin James
WR: Terrell Owens
WR: Michael Irvin
WR: Andre Johnson
WR: Charlie Joiner
TE: Jimmy Graham
TE: George Kittle
LT: Willie Roaf
LG: Marshall Yanda
C: Bruce Matthews
RG: Zack Martin

Defence:

Defence Strategy:

This is going to be a very interesting one. I'm going to have a big front. John Randle, Haloti Ngata inside. At 3T and 1T respectfully. Going to have Terrell Suggs coming off the edge on the side of Ngata and Sapp coming off the edge on the side of Randle. We will have Derrick Johnson as the ILB and coverage LBer that we will drop in coverage.

Our pass rush set up will be Greene-Sapp-Randle-Suggs

For our Secondary, we will have Charles Woodson in the slot and playing our nickel. When we go 4 CBs, we will have Asante Samuel in the slot as I feel like we will like his playmaking ability. Primetime will be our match up guy. You got a #1 WR? Well the best DB ever will be following your WR. If you somehow burn one of these guys? Well we have Lott and Houston over the top. We can also make it fun on some passing downs, have our Safeties be Woodson and Lott with Walls and Sanders on the outside and Samuel as the nickel.

##

With pioneers in the coaching staff - Bill Walsh and Blanton Collier - one in the passing game, one in the running game and in the preparation game, backing the most versatile roster in the game, there are a lot of options for this team.

Relative to peers the Eskimos feature a player that is the best of all time or in the discussion for best of all time at:
QB - Sammy Baugh
RB - Walter Payton
TE - Tony Gonzalez
G - John Hannah
C - Mel Hein (the league's first ever MVP -as a center!)
DT - Randy White
LB - Ray Lewis
P - Sammy Baugh

The entire offensive line spent the majority of their respective careers as First-Team All Pros or equivalent.

Two mobile quarterbacks, statistically versus their peers, in the top 5 of all time, and the versatility of Baugh to play virtually any position with excellence. We have the arm talent, the mobility, the speed, the ability to throw on the run that can't be matched.

We have super smart possession receivers that can block in Steve Largent, Julio Jones and Del Shofner. All of which have absurd peaks. Plus Tony Gonzalez, easily, the best TE of all time.

On defense, the ferocious front 7 would be a lot to handle off the edge, but with the run stopping ability in the middle of two of the best in Donovan and White.

The linebacking core is literally a murderer's row. Khalil Mack was a killer, Sam Huff was so violent that CBS made a documentary about his truculence back when air time was quite scarce. And Ray Lewis, the best LB of all time, is literally also a murderer. If anyone gets suspended (or jailed) Shaquille Leonard has their back.

Ronde Barber effectively invented the nickel corner position. His chemistry with John Lynch, the versatile safety, on one of the better defenses in recent memory should contain other clubs' passing attacks.

Vanderjagt has the big leg and was, to date, the best kicker ever when he called it quits. Hit 100% of his kicks at a time where 90% was considered amazing.

Not that this team will need to punt because of its unique ability to pick up short yardage situations, but Sammy Baugh was the 6x best punter in the league at the least. In fact, his punting average in 1940 was the all time record for a season until it was broken last year by a yard and a half by Ryan Stonehouse.

It felt like half of these players were the best returners in the league - Jack Christiansen certainly was - but many of these players were two-way players, they returned kicks, returned punts, kicked, punted, hell, our RB threw 9 TD passes in his career and played QB for a half when one QB got hurt (and the other pulled for Payton).

On top of all of this, we have the discipline of Bud Grant and leadership of players like Ray Lewis to keep our heads on straight.

I don't think we're going to get an official count, but looking around, I'd be really, really surprised if there's a team with more first-team all pro selections than this one.
