On Monday, ESPN kicked off their NFL All-Decade Week. Monday they unveiled their all-decade defense and on Tuesday they unveiled their all-decade offense. So naturally on Thursday we will give our two cents on how well the “World-Wide Sports Leader” did.
All-decade offense
QB: Tom Brady, New England – No brainer.
RB: LaDainian Tomlinson, San Diego – No brainer
FB: Lorenzo Neal, Cincinnati/S.D./Balt. -Mike Alstott?
WR: Marvin Harrison, Indianapolis – Pretty strong choice. T.O. or Moss, maybe?
WR: Torry Holt, St. Louis – The shakier of the two. T.O. or Moss could easily have this spot
TE: Tony Gonzalez, Kansas City – No brainer
T: Walter Jones, Seattle -No brainer
T: Jonathan Ogden, Baltimore – No brainer
G: Alan Faneca, Pittsburgh/N.Y. Jets – No brainer
G: Steve Hutchinson, Seattle/Minnesota – No brainer
C: Olin Kreutz, Chicago – Hard to argue. Kevin Mawae, maybe?
All-decade defense
DE: Michael Strahan, N.Y. Giants – No brainer
DT: Warren Sapp, Tampa Bay/Oakland – Pretty strong.
DT: Kris Jenkins, Carolina/N.Y. Jets – Not as strong. Pat Williams? La’Roi Glover?
DE: Jason Taylor, Miami/Washington – No brainer
LB: Derrick Brooks, Tampa Bay – No brainer
LB: Ray Lewis, Baltimore – I think he’s overrated, but you can’t argue with the numbers
LB: Brian Urlacher, Chicago – Zach Thomas?
CB: Champ Bailey, Washington/Denver – No brainer
CB: Troy Vincent: Phil./Mia./Buff./Wash. – Ty Law? Charles Woodson?
S: Ed Reed, Baltimore – No brainer
S: Troy Polamalu, Pittsburgh – Brian Dawkins? John Lynch?
Who else would you add?

You think Ray Lewis is overrated.I think you need to watch his games more boss.He is all over the field.I'm shocked Peyton didn't get the nod.
All over the field jumping on the pile.
Peyton Manning over Tom Brady? I think not.
Jumping on the pile?LOL but the only reason Brady is in front of Manning is because of those super bowl rings.
And where is Larry Allen?
If I had/have a stud halfback, I'd rather Neal than Alstott. I think you get more out of Neal's blocking than Alstott's balance (though, of course, you're in great shape with either).
