HFL Best Offenses/Defenses of All Time

Here are numerical lists of the greatest offenses and defenses of all time, in Heyan Football League history.

## Best Defenses of All Time

1. **2001-2002 Gerald Monsters:** This squad, nicknamed the "Monsters of Menace", is considered to be the greatest defense of all time by many, and the competition is stiff. The highlight of the defensive line is Demarcus Ford, considered by many to be one of the greatest DLs of all time. This ferocious defensive line also included Greg Nattingham, a 3-time All Star, and Kilo Murray, who recorded several seasons with 10+ sacks. The team also carried a loaded secondary which would capitalize on rushed passes caused by their outstanding d-line, including stars such as Jordan Pinka, Eddie Fowler, and Hall of Famer Josh White. If that weren't enough, their linebacking core included studs such as Trace Newan, veteran Ryan Marks, and youthful Ben Timod. This defense was statistically the greatest, rolling past teams in the regular season with a 17-0 record. After shutting out and demolishing teams in the playoffs, the Amelia Patriots had no answers, being steamrolled in that game 40-10, as the Monsters became the first perfect team in history, never losing a game in the regular season or postseason. Demarcus Ford won MVP in Ultra Bowl 33, recording a blistering 7 sacks on Patriot's backup-QB Gale Mosely, including a forced fumble. This team was unstoppable and considered by many to be among the greatest in history.
2. **1978-1979 Houston Flash:** The Flash carried a loaded defense which featured arguably the greatest secondary of all time, which featured four Hall of Famers, Step Moxey, Rees Woodard, Shakial Shipley, and Kerry Wilson, four dominant ballhawks who would make for a shut-down secondary and be hard to score on, combined with their electric offense. Kawaan DeLuca was another force on the defensive end, which would only help their dominant secondary by getting the ball out sooner. DeLuca would be the fifth Hall of Famer in the Houston offense, finishing consistently with 10+ sacks nearly every year of his career. DeLuca would be joined by above average linemen in Chris Spot, Tare Darvish, and Don Lesley. Houston's linebackers would consist of Eric Hawk, a consistent pro-bowler. along with Quon Nabesly and Kio Waters. This #1 ranked team on both offense and defense would finish 15-2 on the season, and cruise their way to an Ultra Bowl appearance, shutting down the Cookah Capitols in a 42-14 rout. This corps would win 4 more titles, and make 5 more appearances and establish themselves in HFL lore forever.
3. **2050-2051 Gerald Monsters:** It is arguable which year was the peak of this Gerald defense, but 2050-2051 was the year it stood out as statistically the best. In the defensive line, a dynamic duo of Ira Hufanga and Deadrin Hopkins wrecked apart the league during Gerald's dynasty. It was impossible to guard these two ferocious players, who wreaked havoc on any offensive line who attempted to block them and made things stressful for the opposing QB. Added to the line was Sammy Moxey, a great complimentary peace who would fill in significantly in between Hufanga and Hopkins. The secondary featured Sharif Ferell, a lockdown CB who would make opposing QBs pay for bad throws, and other secondary talent such as Justice Anderson, Conner Michaels, and Shaye Lexi. The lineback corps featured Blue Garland, Niquon Paul, and Denzyl Setter. This stacked defense crushed opponent's offenses and cruised their way to 15-1-1, and despite their record, arguably even better than the year prior, in which they finished 17-0. After a dominant run in the postseason, they faced the young Garret Freezers led by Bill Burrow and their usually powerful offense, but put them to an absolute halt. The Monsters won that game, 42-17, as they dominated on both sides of the ball and embarrassed the young Garret team.
4. **1969-1970 Amelia Patriots:** This Patriots team featured a stiffening defense. Led by Curtis Mueller, a Hall of Fame DE who is considered top-3 at his position all-time and racked up numerous 20+ sack seasons, their defense set forth numerous star players and made itself among the best of all time. Opposite to Mueller laid Carry Morton, a solid pass rusher who recorded several 10+ sack seasons alongside Mueller. Linebackers consisted of Brett Nomeal, Derret White, solid veterans who sturdied the defense, and their defensive backs created their own no-fly zone with Hall of Famer Charlie Prince leading the way, alongside All Star Justin House, vet Rek Cambridge, Jace Marpetti (who was young but would become an All Star later on in his career), and a young and thriving Xavier Bane. This team shut many teams out during the season, and set the record for fewest TDs in NFL history, finishing the season at 16-1. Cruising their way to the Ultra Bowl meeting the Ryth City Knights, the dominant force on defense let the Knights score only 2 field goals on offense, with the other 9 points coming from a fumble recovery touchdown on Patriot's QB Dan White, and a safety in the end zone on Dan White. Curtis Mueller recorded 5 sacks in Ultra Bowl I, including a forced fumble, winning MVP vote for the game by a landslide. 1969 would be Amelia's most successful year on defense, and their dominance proved it.
5. **1988-1989 Hailey Rosethorns:**
