I am a lifelong Lions fans......Billy was special, he had that extra gear and he had that scissors kick a'la Payton and could change speeds to throw off defenders......Billy was in a the age when a completely tore ACL was a career ending injury....Thats what happened to him - a promising HOF possible career cut short by a devastating injury....

I love Bednarik and I would love to see him able to play center as well....

I use a combo of Dave Wilcox & Derrick Thomas - but I have no doubt that Bednarik & Lloyd would be just as effective....

I've heard someone else mention Lenny Moore--maybe it was you in another thread. I'll have to give him a shot. I didn't know he played RB as well, so thanks for the info!

Someone mentioned him in this thread I think...

As a big Balt Colts fan I know some things about Lenny Moore. He wasn't a full time HB, but he played like half the downs and Alan Ameche got some carries too. Moore was more of a slot receiver-flex HB.

Yeah, but thats cool. You can get another HB and WR and Moore can go between HB and WR in certain sets.....I love that stuff but its cheese according to the 2k boards...

[RogueHominid]

If they did it in real life, it's not cheese. I think more players should have the multi-positional versatility that they had in their playing careers. Lott, for example, made the Pro Bowl at CB, FS, and I think SS when he was with the Raiders. And Woodson of course made the Pro Bowl at CB and FS. I'd split Meggett, Bienemy, Allen, Thurmal, and Craid out wide, at least a few times a game, and I can't believe that doing that would count as cheese. I don't read the 2k boards anyways.

Bz RB Natrone Means is as good as gold and Icky Woods is a fantastic silver at FB/HB. Ken Obrien is also a very reliable QB.

[RogueHominid]

Means is nice, and he can catch a bit. I haven't tried Woods or O'Brien. Does Woods do okay in blitz pickup? I typically look for that in a FB, just because I typically don't go legend-heavy on the o-line. How does O'Brien play?
