Surprised to not see Floyd from ND on the list at WR.

Kellen Moore over Kennum is a bit surprising as well.

Floyd is really good, but he's not going to be used to his fullest potential this year at ND, IMO. I think its going to be a down year for ND, despite having a better coach.

Moore just doesn't make any mistakes, even against the top defenses. He isn't a "compiler", he isn't a "game manager", he just gets the job done.

I'll be interested to see how Floyd does. He doesn't seem to be tailored to that ND offense. Guys like Tai-ler Jones and Shaq Evans seem to be better fits. Floyd is uber talented though so I could see him putting up big numbers as long as Crist is decent. ND will be an interesting case this season. The schedule doesn't look awful so I could see an 8-4 season, maybe 9-3. A lot of it depends on the OL and DL. If those two units play well/stay healthy(especially the DL) I think Notre Dame will do well.

I'm more concerned about Rudolph not getting used properly than Floyd.

As for Moore, he's a good QB and gets shit done, but just seems like there is more hype around Keenum heading into this season so I was surprised not to see him get the nod here.

Is this yours?

Yes. I guess the title is misleading, but I was posting mine to generate some discussion, and to see what other people would post as their AA team.

Its been funny to follow Noel Devine's career...do you remember when that guy posted all of Devine's high school videos? I didn't think he'd do much in college, but he's proven me wrong. I think Murray is going to get beat up again this year, and Dion Lewis is a great skill-position player on a Dave Wannstedt team which thus eliminates him from AA consideration. I picked Jacquizz over Devine because I think Jacquizz is a much tougher runner between the tackles. He's not very big, but he packs a wallop.

Kyle Rudolph is like a man playing among boys. I hope ND makes more of an effort to utilize him. He reminds me a bit of Heath Miller...well-proportioned (as opposed to Alge Crumpler), very coordinated, and white.

I probably should have had Jerrelle Powe on my team. I forgot about him. And I'm not a big Tyler Sash fan.

LOL at Alge being the opposite of well-proportioned. You got that right, dude was barely 6'2 with a headache and really let his weight go a few years into his pro career.

As for Devine/Rodgers, hard to go wrong with either one, but Devine is freakishly strong for his size and will prove capable between the tackles this year IMO.

I had to include Sash to meet my white guy quota.

The lack of Allen Bailey on these lists is...

Here is my yearly rant on this type of topic:

None of you m'fers are qualified to judge OL performance on this scale.

You probably aren't qualified to give a blow job, but I can still tell you to choke on a cock.

Nice Von Miller pick.

I am still LOLing at your "on this scale" comment...as if we have high standards of correctness here in the VSN NFL/NCAA forum. We have multiple threads on Tim Tebow's jersey sales, Tim Tebow's endorsement deals, Tim Tebow's alleged girlfriend, etc., so I think the standards are set pretty low.

I meant more along the lines of comparing the LG play of 120 different players.

Its like when guys post All Pro teams. Do they really think Brad Meester was the best C in the AFC, or was it the first guy with a good rep they could think of? Something tells me Nahste isn't breaking down film of Lee Ziemba.
