G: Derrick Brooks RLB Pro Bowl (Speed, Strength, Leadership, Clutch, Quick Feet) G: Simeon Rice* RDE Pro Bowl (Speed, Quick Feet, Closing Speed, Spin, Club) *Could go with either him or Sapp at gold. S: Warren Sapp DT Pro Bowl (Quick Feet, Club) S: John Lynch SS Pro Bowl (Foot Steps, Quick Feet) S: Brad Johnson QB Pro Bowl (Pocket Presense, Leadership) B: Mike Alstott FB Pro Bowl (BAB) B: Shelton Quarles LLB* Pro Bowl (Quick Feet) *Played MLB in 2002 but was a LLB before. B: Ronde Barber CB (Quick Feet) B: Brian Kelly CB (Quick Feet) B: Keyshawn Johnson WR (Possesion) B: Keynan McCardell (BAB) I could have used Pittman or even Dexter Jackson and that would have fit my style a bit better, but I decided to reserve a spot for each Pro Bowler. Then I couldn't leave off Barber, and Kelly lead the league in INT's in 2002 so he had to be there. I couldn't decide between Key, and McC so I took both...

As good and stable as B Johnson was for that team, I think he should be bumped down to a bronze w/ either of the abilities you've given him. I also think Barber should be a gold. The guy, really until a couple years ago, just makes plays. Rice should then be taken to a silver.

I agree and if I was taking a composite of their careers in Tampa I would switch certain things around. My goal though is to accurately represent 2002.

Barber is one of my all time favorites as well and is a very under rated corner back. He doesn't get the credit he deserves because of the system he played in under Kiffen.

I have a Gold Barber made though. I gave him Clutch, Strength, Quick Feet, Sack Master, Ball Hawk. What do you think?

I really don't think Ronde Barber is a Gold CB. Look at the Gold's in this game. All shutdown, legendary corners. Ronde is no better than Mel Renfro, and he's a Silver. I can see how if you were a Bucs fan you'd feel that way, but he's been in the Tampa 2 his whole career. A solid Silver.

Brad Johnson was awesome that year, especially in big games. He was no Trent Dilfer for the Ravens. I def agree on the Silver.

He was a gold in what he meant to the Buccaneers.

Right Johnson was no Trent Dilfer that year, he was playing at a pro bowl level

a good no cap 2002 bucs is

G-Ronnie lott-John Lynch
G-Wilcox- Derrick Brooks
S-Jerome Brown-Warren sapp- virtual twins
S-ickey woods-Mike alstot - plays just like him imo
S-Herman Moore- Keyshawn
b-Dexter Manley- Simeon Rice
b-Mcdaniel-Ronde
b-Moore or Ricky Sanders- Jerivicous or Mccardell
b-bienemi (sp?)-Warrick Dunn
filler


love this team get that line going and your opponents done. pound with ickey/alstot for 2-3 yards speed it up with bienemi (sp?)/Dunn on first second down
