Indy-

Eric Dickerson: Dickerson is one of the fastest backs in the game, probably the 3rd best overall. He has maniac dekeing ability to go along with his blazing speed so he can turn almost any defender inside out. He is hurt badly by playing on Indy, because of this his play is picked nearly everytime so he has a hard time breaking out. But when it isint, be prepared for 20 yard gains and dont be surprised at all with 50+ gains. The worst thing about Dickerson is his toughness, or lack thereof, he is defenitely the weakest back in the game and anything more than a stiff breeze could not him flat on his ass, never expect to shake anyone off with this weakling. His speed more than compensates for his strength though and Dickerson is a true all-star.

Jack Trudeau:Congratulations Jack Trudeau, you are the worst QB ever. You could have lunch and a couple beers before a pass from Trudeau hits its target. You really have to see how painfully slow his passes are to get a feel for how crap he is. If he were on a regular team with regular passing plays it would be pick city. But instead he has super spread out passing plays. So he doesnt get picked that often, but his slow passes allow the defender to cheat in alot becuase going deep with him is super risky. It also gives the defender alot of extra time to approach the WR before he gets the ball. With a decent QB Indy might actually be a good team, with Trudeau they are the worst.

Jack Trudeau is hurting.

Duane Bickett:Bickett is the main defender on Indy. He plays the bottom OLB position and does a half decent job. There isint much to work with on this defense so you have to give Bickett some credit for holding it all together. He never really gets chewed up by the run and can do an ok job of defending pass, just dont expect many picks ever unless the QB makes a mistake. Bickett is one of the worst defenders in the game that you be, only a 12 rating, knowing that, its surprising Indy doesnt give up way more points than they do.

Albert Bentley:Bently is the generic KR for Indy. There isint really much to say about this guy. He is pretty crappy like alot of KR in the game, he never gets anywhere, maybe the odd time past the 30 but feel lucky if he even gets there. He isint the worst but he certainly isint helping you either.

Dean Biasucci:The man with the best leg in the game. Dean Biasucci can kick 46 yard FG's!!! That is pretty huge when you consider most kickers are only hitting from about the 40. This is something that really helps Indy. Because their O isint great they struggle to get down to the 40, so he can buy them an extra 3 or 6 points a game with his superior leg strength. Also around the 50 is where drives start to stall, so with Indy it is ok for your drive to stall there, you can still get 3 points.

Bill Brooks: AKA Working Class Hero, Bill Brooks is one of the slowest guys in the game, just a horrible WR, but none the less he gets most of the passes on Indy because he is their short man on pass 2. He is the only Offensive player in the game to have 8 in acceleration, nearly every other guy has 3(the lower the better), and he doesnt even have a high top speed once he does get going, which is never. He is truly unspectacluar, atleast he earned himself a nick name.

MIAMI-

Dan Marino: The hardest throwing QB in the game, he has no trouble gunning it in there right past a defender. He is the field general for the Fins and without him they would be hurting bad. They have 3 passing plays to use and this is exactly what Marino wans. He has such a cannon he can even make the crappy curls plays useful because he is simply too fast for defenders. He is also helped out by 2 good WR. Duper plays the top and gets tons of passes and Clayton is a good option at the bottom as well. Marino makes this a top flight offense that any team has trouble stopping. If you dont have a really fast defender you might aswell forget about picking off Dan and rely soley on play picks. If Marino does have one fault its that he isint as clutch as the other QB's in the game and has a tendency to throw stupid picks at inopportune times. It's believe this is just a carry over from his non-winning ways in the NFL.

Lorenzo Hampton: I guess they figured Marino was such a monster they better give miami no running game ot speak of what so ever, que Rodney Hampton. Defenitely the lowest back in the game, and defenitely a last resort for Miami in most games. He only has one play, and it looks like a draw play, so it goes straight up the middle and he gets very poor blocking on it. Because it is up the middle he doesnt get good blocking to either side. This really hurts a guy who is already by far the slowest in the game. Against some teams however he does get good blocking, this is rare, and even when he does have blockers it is most commong for him to still only get a useless 3-4 yards as opposed to the 8-9 a real back would get. Hampton is the weak spot on the Miami O.

Suckenzo standing there like he does on every play. Marino prays by his bedside at night that he could have the man on the right instead.

Mark "Super" Duper: And he is pretty super. One of the better WR in the game the Marino to Duper combo is lethal. On the shotgun play it is Duper getting most the passes, he cuts down right away and hangs out in the middle of the field, a play that is impossible to pick off because of Marino's arm. Duper then uses his speed to turn it into atleast an 8 yard gain and often a first down.

Mark Clayton: Basically a Duper clone. Hurt be being the bottom WR, so he gets less ball. He is the deep option for Marino on the Shotgun Play so that is basically the only time he gets passed too. His speed and Marinos arm work to exploit the D. If a defender is cheating up even just a little bit on these two, they will make them pay.

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Marks Brothers:

John Offerdahl: The leader of the Miami D, and thats not a very good thing to be at all. They are a pretty weak bunch of individuals, including Offerdahl. He really cant do much out there on D, never can get many picks and basically just watches the D get stomped. They have one of the worst D's in the game, bottom 2 or 3. Its not fun times when you have to play with this guy. He has comparable speed to Bickett but the Miami D always seems to do worse than Indy's. Atleast he plays the MLB position so he has no WR respnsibilites, this really doesnt help him though, he cant stop nothing.

John Bosa: The secondary option at defense for Miami. He play RE and has a 7 sack rating, which is pretty damn slow. He can be better than Offerdahl though. Most certainly is better at stopping the run, just because of his position, powerful RE. But he will tend to give you worse pass coverage because he is slower. If the QB has any talent he would be able to throw to the bottom WR everytime without it getting picked aslong as he isint covered because Bosa has so far to run. But being a guy with 7 sacks is what you are reduced to when playing with Miami. If only their D was even middle of the pack decent they would be a force because their O just cant be stopped.

Here are the Johns, Offerdahl and Bosa, ya they play like something you would crap in too.

James Pruitt: Personally I hate this guy. He blows in every way. One of the worst KR in the game, he should never go anywhere. But sometimes he just gets extra great blocking or something and he breaks out to the 50 or something ridiculous like that. Once he returned one down to my 5, something that should never happen with a guy like this. There isint much to say other than he sucks and if you get past the 25 you can consider yourself lucky.

Fuad Reviez: Good old Fuad. One of the suckiest sucks there is at Kicking. This man can only hit from about the 39. Having a shit kicked is something that really kills you. You will be amazed at how many times your drive stalls at exactly between the 41-44. So with a decent Kicker half the time you have yourself a FG, with a putz face like this you got nothing and you are punting. It happens atleast once a game too. Fuad would be better off as the waterboy.

Left to Right: Miami's C Thompson, pretty awesome punter Roby and no name turner, hey someone though enough or him to put a picture of his jersey on the internet, that deserves a picture on my site, he plays LE by the way, im shocked i know.

Bonus Miami Picture:

Look everyone...Its Jim Kiick, and not only is his name Kiick, and not only was he a part of the 17-0 season, but he appeared on American Gladiators, defenitely his career highlight.

Cleveland-

Bernie Kosar- Bernie Kosar is ultra solid and ultra capable of running an O. Maybe the best QB there is after the super stars. He isnt flashy he just gets it done with a strong throwing arm and a decent play book. It is accepted that he is actually the 4^th best QB. But those of us in the know would always take Sims over him, but thats nothing to be ashamed of. Bernie is able to get it done without very good WR. All in all if Kosar is your QB you have nothing to complain about.

My God, you can actually see the power.

Kevin Mack- Ever hear of popcorn? Well Mack practically invented it. You better be serious about tackling when Mack comes your way or the play wont be ending anytime soon. If your guy ever grapples with Mack you have to give a full effort on pressing the A button to bring him down or Mack will throw your guy off and keep running. One of only 2 RB (Bo is the other) who can do this with any consistency. This toughness ability also allows him to stay up for an extra long time for his defenders to come over and block for him. Other than his toughness he isnt very fast at all, possibly even second slowest. But he still manages to get it done. If you are playing a team with a top 3-4 defender then your run game might be hurting with Mack. But if not then it should be reliable enough to keep them from cheating and picking tons of pass. Mack has had his moments, dont underestimate him.

Gerald McNeil- This guy is a maniac. Second best at KR only to Gentry. He can rip it up just as good as Gentry though. If he didnt have to go against the Chicago Return team he may be the most prolific returner in Tecmo History. If this guy was a WR for Cleveland then maybe they would have an explosive O. But as it is now he is relegated to KR. Just take solace in the fact that McNeil is getting the ball with a chance to take it all the way any time the other team gets points. He may very well be the guy who helped us coin the phrase patented -4. A term that applies when you settle for a fine FG then have to kick off to McNeil or Gentry and they return it for a fucking TD. Be afraid when this man has the ball.

Hanford Dixon- One of the elite defenders in the game and the man who most helps Cleveland get their #5 overall ranking. If it werent for Spider-Man he would be the best secondary player in the game. He does every Lott does only he doesnt have the Ronnie Lott power is a step slower and worst of all, isnt Ronnie Lott. But dont cry. He is definitely a top 5 defender, totally capable of taking over entire games. And as a side note he totally owns Joe Montana, thats something to be proud of.

Frank Minnifield- Dixons running mate. He does an admirable job as the bottom safety. Not a very top defender but he is very quick and allows the team to employ a defender switch strategy. He isnt elite like Dixon, as he is capable of being deked out by a top RB from time to time. But if this man is the second best defender on the team you are in good shape. It is always a big bonus to have a second guy you could be on D, especially if he is on the opposite side of the field like Minnifield is. He turns out to be a very useful player.

Clay Matthews- Not really a guy you be on Cleveland a lot because he only the 3^rd option after the 2 safeties. But sometimes you have to be him. He gets some action because the other 2 defenders are safeties, i.e. the guys who cover the WR on passing plays. So in some games when you are calling pass and not getting the match ups you are forced to be this guy just so you can get good protection. As a player he isnt that good, easily capable of being deked, but he is good enough to be and hope to not get burned for a big play by a RB.
