[Beerman]

Good. Don't want anyone thinking they have had a good year. Keep that carrot out in front.

[Panama]

Worthless.

[Fleet]

2nd in tackles and top 5 in passes defensed. Pozsluzny is a snub. His coverage is really good. Especially since it looks like these guys are all stat leaders. Probably took 5 minutes to make this team.

[TABF]

I guess if you play for Denver or NE, you basically got a shot to make this team....
