Piggyback thread-Who is your NFC East starting lineup?

Taking the lead from the NFC East positional rankings thread, if you had one game to win and could pick any whole unit from all of the NFC East teams, who would you choose? For me:

QB-This is probably the toughest call in the division IMO. I don't think JC is in the discussion at this point. Romo is a proven choke artist and the criteria is one game to win, so he's out. Eli has a Super Bowl ring and no longer seems to make the killer mistake but do I trust him to be clutch? McNabb has the most talent in the division and can make things happen on any play. I'm going with McNabb.

RB- For only one game, I want a unit that can make plays and also get me the tough yards. I'm going with the Marion Barber/Felix Jones/Tashard Choice combination. Barber can be my bell cow, Jones has home run potential and Choice can come in for 5-8 touches and I can trust him.

WR-Give me the speed of Santana Moss, the versatility of Antwaan Randle-El and the size of Thomas/Kelly and I'll be comfortable at the WR position. If it's only one game, I'm hoping we can get Moss singled up a few times to take a deep shot and we've got chain movers at the other spots.

TE- At the risk of losing my maroon and black Redskins card, we're going with Witten and Bennett at the TE position in a close one over Cooley/Davis. Celek and Boss aren't even in consideration. Witten is the superior blocker and Bennett has a rare size/speed combination that can prove to be huge with a favorable matchup.

OL- I'm going with the Giants line in a slight upset over the Eagles line. Jason Peters has a lot to prove to me after giving up 11.5 sacks in '08 and Andrews is coming off of a torn ACL so he has to prove he's healthy.

DL- Not really much debate here, it's clearly the Giants. They are 7 deep on the D-line and with the return of Osi to go with Tuck, that'll scare the drawers off of any QB.

LB- If only for one game, I'm going with Dallas. I don't really like Brooking (old and washed up), Burnett doesn't do it for me, but having the best pass rusher in the game in DeMarcus Ware is too tempting to pass up.

CB- Very close between the Eagles and Redskins. Philly has a very solid threesome of Samuel, Brown and Hobbs and measure up well to Hall, Rogers and Smoot. I think Hall is every bit the CB as Samuel, Rogers is better than Brown and Smoot is not as good as Hobbs, but of all 6 CB, Hall has the ball skills and return skills to change the game. I'll just pray that the ball doesn't hit Rogers in the hands.

S- Easily Landry and Horton. Nobody else in the division is really close.

K- Nick Folk. Reliable, good from distance.

P- Sav Rocca. Coolest punter name in the division, which is saying something with a Mat (one T) and Hunter the Punter.

PR/KR DeSean Jackson can change the game every time he touches the ball.

Coaching staff- Gotta go with the SB winning Giants staff. Although the impact of the loss of Spagnola is yet to be seen, it's hard to ignore a SB winning staff.
