Only real complaint is Champ Bailey.

[gaKNOW!blee]

Shaun Alexander and TO should probably be switched.

And where is Clinton Portis?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Fat motorcycle Ben Rothlisberger shouldn't be on it.

[dirk4mvp]

Marvelous should be higher.

[monosylab1k]

At least they got #1 right.

[dirk4mvp]

They did?

[IronMexican]

Bailey shouldn't be that high, dammit.

[Blake]

at least they can count to 25 right

[monosylab1k]

Bailey shouldn't be that high, dammit.

Well he's the only guy since Deion that could legitimately be called a shutdown corner.

[Blake]

Well he's the only guy since Deion that could legitimately be called a shutdown corner.

and still shouldnt be ahead of Ray or Strahan

[monosylab1k]

and still shouldnt be ahead of Ray or Strahan

Strahan was a one-trick pony who only had 2 truly great years this decade. Lewis' best years weren't even in this decade. Champ is easily ahead of Strahan and debatably ahead of Lewis.

While we're talking, let's also list all the former Texas Tech players that appear in the top 25.

lol, TCU > Tech

[IronMexican]

Ray has a Super Bowl MVP.


Ray > Champ

[monosylab1k]

Ray > Champ

Not over the scope of the entire decade.

Zach Thomas > Chump Bailey

Chump Bailey > Ron Dayne

[Sigz]

Bailey is a god.

In 2006, he SHOULD have won the DPOY award.

85 tackles

21 passes defended

10 interceptions, 1 returned for a TD.

+

2 more interceptions in the playoffs returned each for TDs

And most importantly, he helped Denver get to the 2006 AFCCG.

[kromediablo]

<p>&lt;p&gt;how does bret farve even sniff the top 25? adam viniatarri should be on that list easily, if not number 25&lt;/p&gt;</p>

[J.T.]

<p>&lt;p&gt;how does bret farve even sniff the top 25? adam viniatarri should be on that list easily, if not number 25&lt;/p&gt;</p>

No one would know who the Vinatieri is if Brady didn't set him up for those kicks. And no one would know who the Brady is if Belichick didn't steal other team's signals so as to make it look like the Patriots are playing Madden while screenwatching the bas they're playing against.

[mojorizen7]

The Patsies were born of 911. They were gifted SB36.

Take a time machine back to 2000 - you're starting a new franchise, and you can have either Ray Lewis(9) or Jason Taylor(5) to anchor your defense. Which one would you take?
