Have some time to kill this Friday and don't feel like starting on my Cubs preview just yet. Here's my all time NFL defense - all players in their prime:

DE:Reggie White, Bruce Smith, Michael Strahan, Deacon Jones
DT:Ndamukong Suh, Haloti Ngata, Albert Haynesworth, Joe Greene
OLB: Lawrence Taylor, DeMarcus Ware, James Harrison, Clay Matthews, Jr.

ILB:Ray Lewis, Patrick Willis, Derrick Brooks, Dick Butkus
S: Troy Polamalu, Ed Reed, Ronnie Lott, Bob Sanders
CB:Deion Sanders, Darrelle Revis, Nnamdi Asomugha, Champ Bailey
Defensive coordinators: Bill Belichick, Buddy Ryan, Dick LeBeau
Head Coach: Chris Liss

I realize this is slanted heavily toward modern players, but Jack Lambert and Ted Hendricks weighed 220 pounds. Plus I really don't know much about defensive players whose careers ended before 1970. Haynesworth's career doesn't stack up, but at his peak with the Titans he was as dominant as they come. And Suh was already just about there as a rookie. For outside linebackers, I wanted pass rushers obviously, though it would probably be different in a 4-3 (You might use Ray Lewis or Willis on the outside opposite LT). The secondary would be impossible to throw against with Revis and Sanders locking down the top wideouts and Polamalu and Reed covering ridiculous amounts of ground. Lott comes in the nickel D to deliver hits.

Note the necessity of a good head coach with this personnel.
