BAMAPHIN 22
FinHeaven Elite
AFC's ALL-JOES
Offense
T: Levi Jones, Cincinnati — Held Indy's Dwight Freeney without a sack, overshadowed by Willie Anderson.
T: Mike Gandy, Buffalo — Bills ran ball well early in season, thanks to his emergence on left side.
G: Jeno James, Miami — Never says a word, just goes about business and finishes blocks.
G: Mike Goff, San Diego — Chargers have started six O-line combinations, and he is constant, the glue that binds.
C: Casey Wiegmann, Kansas City — Belongs in luggage of Willie Roaf, Will Shields and Brian Waters when they pack for Pro Bowl.
TE: Jeb Putzier, Denver — A favorite target of Jake Plummer's on bootlegs and rollouts.
TE: Reggie Kelly, Cincinnati — Not many catches, but blocks like third tackle.
WR: T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Cincinnati — Wonderful complement to college pal Chad Johnson.
WR: Eric Parker, San Diego — Clutch catches on third down earned him nickname "The Bondsman" because he bails team out.
WR: Ernest Wilford, Jacksonville — No-name unseated a No. 1 pick and caught six TD passes.
FB: Dan Kreider, Pittsburgh — What could be more All-Joe than fullback with three rushing attempts?
RB: Reuben Droughns, Cleveland — Here again in different uni' is Browns' first 1,000-yard rusher since 1985.
RB: Jonathan Wells, Houston — Backup came up big in win vs. 'Zona, also plays specials, takes snaps at fullback.
QB: Byron Leftwich, Jacksonville — Hangs in pocket and takes beating for doing so.
KR: Wes Welker, Miami — Because we left Mr. Do-It-All off team last year, and we always pay our debts.
K: Rian Lindell, Buffalo — Most accurate kicker on field goals in Bills history.
Long snapper: David Binn, San Diego — More than 1,600 career snaps without causing botched kick.
Offensive coordinator: Bob Bratkowski, Cincinnati — Bengals dig long ball (short one, too).
Defense
E: Kyle Vanden Bosch, Tennessee — High motor gets in gear, yields 121/2 sacks.
E: Paul Spicer, Jacksonville — Journeyman finds home, settles in as starter after nasty injury in '04.
T: Montae Reagor, Indianapolis — Hit career high in sacks and led swarming D-line in tackles.
T: Rob Meier, Jacksonville — Part-timer makes big plays, had sacks in four consecutive games.
NT: Kelly Gregg, Baltimore — Fireplug with legs who uses that physique to leverage well against the run.
NT: Keith Traylor, Miami — Plus-size bruiser enabled Fins to swing into 3-4; eats up blockers.
OLB: Adalius Thomas, Baltimore — Also lines up at tackle, end, back and gunner on punt coverage.
OLB: Kirk Morrison, Oakland — Rookie led team in tackles in first game.
OLB: Mike Vrabel, New England — Also played inside, dabbled at tight end, where he caught TD pass.
ILB: Donnie Edwards, San Diego — Does everything but make Pro Bowl.
ILB: Mike Peterson, Jacksonville — All-Joe lifer who roams sideline to sideline but never to Honolulu.
ILB: Tedy Bruschi, New England — Returned from stroke, minor heart surgery to lift wounded defense.
CB: Terrence Mcgee, Buffalo — Scored on punt return and interception return in same game.
CB: Domonique Foxworth, Denver — Gets lots of work opposite Champ Bailey but rookie holds his ground.
CB: Rashean Mathis, Jacksonville — Rangy ballhawk who will support against run.
S: Chris Hope, Pittsburgh — Tops team in interceptions, second in tackles, overshadowed by Troy Polamalu's hair.
S: Kevin Kaesviharn, Cincinnati — Opened at strong safety, moved to free after injury to Madieu Williams.
P: Ben Graham, New York Jets — Rookie from Down Under keeps plopping punts inside 20.
PR: Antwaan Randle El, Pittsburgh — Has to be on here somewhere, doing all the things he does.
Special teams: Josh Stamer, Buffalo — Top tackler on NFL's best kickoff coverage unit.
Defensive coordinator: Mike Smith, Jacksonville — Excels at moving people in and out while blockading end zone.
Special-teams coach: Bobby April, Buffalo — Bills again among NFL leaders in every aspect of third phase.
