The NFL’s All-IR and All-Suspended Teams

The regular season has yet to start and there’s already been a ridiculous amount of attrition in these regards–so much, in fact, that we can almost fill out an entire starting lineup each with only players on IR and then players on a suspension. Unfortunately, the overturning of Tom Brady’s suspension really hurt the cause of the All-Suspended team. I guess they can run a bunch of the Wildcat and the wishbone offense, then?

The All-IR team is also weak at quarterback, but at least they have one. Both teams have a decent amount of talent at the offensive skill positions otherwise. The All-Suspended has some serious talent problems on the O-line, but on the other hand is very deep on the D-line, as the Packers’ suspended duo of Letroy Guion and Datone Jones failed to crack the lineup. The All-IR was given a 3-4 defense to take advantage of their wealth in the edge rushing department, and to cover the fact that they’re really weak at the traditional LB position, something that’s not a problem for the All-Suspended–a squad that also has an edge in the defensive backfield.
