Willis would start over Fahnhorst and MAYBE Spencer over Pollard but that is all I see.

Michael Walter on that team was a very under-rated player. He had excellent speed and read plays very well. Willis is better but not by a wide margin in terms of effectiveness within the system.

Maybe oneof the corners but that's it. Gore would not start over Craig uder any circumstances.

I would've taken Polard's grandmother over Polard. That turkey used to drive me nuts.

Willis

If the players that we have now on our team were coached by the coaches of the 89 team then I would say that a quite a few of our current players could have started in 89. We do have a lot of talented players on our team right now, but their full potential probably is not being reached due to the quality or lack thereof of the coaching. However, I'm sure that your question didn't imply that our current players would have the 89 coaches available to them. So I would say Willis, Davis, Lee, Justin Smith, and maybe gore and spencer. If the 2010 niners were coached by the 89 staff then I think players such as Lawson, Crabtree, and Ahmad Brooks could have possibly started on that team because of their great talent.


Thank you.
The athletes of today >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> athletes of 89.

How that affects your question, I'm not sure.

yes but smarter? or more heart? I hate this athlete s**t argument its flawed in many levels. Players today are too soft and offense is more favored how bout that to the old school players where it literally was a dog fight on both sides. Jerry was "slow" to athletes now and no one comes close to him. Joe was skinny and not an athlete or a beast like manning was physicaly now but is the GOAT.

agree
I am sure of...

Gore would push Craig back to fullback.

Vd over Jones

Justin smith would start somewhere

Willis and nate would start.

Maybe...

Crabs over Taylor

Crabs has more upside.

Franklin somewhere.....he is really underrated
