ESPN NFL

How convenient of me to skip out on vacation after filing all-decade packages to run in my absence. The all-decade defense entry has more than 1,200 comments. The all-decade teams entry has nearly 600. The most recent entry, ranking the top 25 players of the decade, has nearly 3,000 comments and counting.

In the interests of time, I'll have to assume every comment agreed with every aspect of every item. How gratifying. I'd like your help in the next endeavor: naming an all-decade team for the NFC West based on what we've seen from 2000 through last season.

Blog contributor Adam from Mesa, Ariz., has offered his version, which I'll include below. That should help get the discussion running. We can discuss the dilemmas on the blog. I'll put together my own choices in an item for Wednesday.

I've converted into PDF format and made available for download Adam's fully researched document, complete with charts. I'll summarize his choices below:

Great work, Adam. I'm sure we can poke some holes in any team -- mine, yours, etc. Before you jump Adam, be sure to read his explanations in the PDF file. Let the discussion begin. Paging Isaac Bruce!
