Can you imagine Mike Brown lining up with Eddie Jackson? That said, I think Peanut is one of my all time favorites from any era and I would love to see him back on the field.

Dan Hampton, easily. That guy on this defense would be amazing.
I was initially leaning towards a prime Dick Butkus, but I can see a prime Danimal doing the trick
Looking specifically at this defense, a guy like Hampton would be a wrecking crew. His presence alone would alleviate the pressure on guys like Floyd and formerly Acho to provide pass rush, and remove double teams on Hicks and Mack. Blitzing opportunities would be everywhere, and the defensive backfield would all benefit greatly. As John Fox used to say, a rising tide lifts all boats.
Plus, knowing Hampton, he'd be all about playing for a guy like Nagy. He threw a chair at a wall for Buddy Ryan, would've broken a whiteboard over his knee for Vic Fangio, likely would eat a plate glass window for Chuck Pagano, and would walk through fire for Nagy.
Hampton would be all about being used in the offense on occasion, likely snaring a touchdown or two. His fire and energy would be right at home with this current group.

Would Sayers sign off on sharing the ball in Nagy's offense, though?thunderspirit wrote:[Undoubtedly still a complete ass, too.Moriarty wrote:Indeed.Otis Day wrote:It wasn't made to be easy:
