Hank my border collie/retriever mix would be a wide receiver...because he is very agile, fast and can catch a football from far distances using only his mouth.
Harley my basset hound would be the bench warmer.....because he is a lazy *** and good for nothing...except to make warm spots on the bench and emit foul odors from his backside.

Don't get me wrong, I love my basset. He is one of our children. He is just not very athletic. We let him do the things he likes to do. Like sleep and do nothing all day. His best talent is falling asleep in two seconds or less.
Hank on the other hand is going to get us a house in San Diego. :)

my chocolate lab would be a punter, she too much of a sissy to be anything else.
my golden lab would be a linebacker cause she kicks the other ones a$$ all the time

Kickoff special teams. She doesn't like it when people run, and is outstanding at tripping them up.
85 lb collie :)
I also happen to know a dog that would be an awesome kick returner; it's a little border collie that will play fetch until your arm is too tired to throw. I seriously think he'd play fetch until he dropped dead of exhaustion, but I've never been able to throw the ball that long.

my Yellow lab is too much of a wuss for defense. However, she is great at ball control, even in a dogpile, and has a soft mouth (hands). She isn't the fastest in the world, but she will run over people and other dogs in her way. She'd probably be a power back, but with the versatility to catch passes in the flats or downfield.

Mine would be a kicker. He's small, wirey, and subject to being psyched-out by taunting.

My Boston Terrier would be a Barry Sanders type RB. Small but very shifty and fast. Our 10 year old Poodle would be the coach. He isn't not very big put he is as smart as a whip and could put the fear of God into anyone. :D

My dog (a mutt) would be a CB. She's very, very good on the chase. Pretty much on the hip of any other dog, regardless of size or strength, the whole way. Very good bump and run technique.
My white lab would make a great TE. He is athletic enough to catch on the run, and big enough to block. He wont get any offside penalties b/c he can stay.

I've been waiting on this thread anxiously since the last time we discussed this.
My dog Rufus ( named after an outstanding Sooner) was just a Soph in HS in the last thread, but he had 5-star DB labeled all over him.
Being as I clocked him at a 3.8 - 40 while he was chasing something on the other side of the back fence, I first thought he had been mis-scouted and could be a WR. He can turn a 180 while in mid leap and be busting the opposite way at almost no loss of speed. Mostly depending upon what the noise on the other side of the fence is doing.
But alas...............he cant catch **** unless I put it in his mouth by hand. Frisbees and foam footballs are only something to be destroyed by teeth at his leisure, along with every piece of patio furnture we own, the cat tree, the electric cords, the pool vac hose, wifey's gardening gloves, shoes, and anything else we have been stupid enough to leave on the back porch.
So due to his lack of "good hands" but with his speed and ability to trip you on your butt as he rapidly moves between your legs, and his propensity to catch every cat we have and put their head in his soft(thankfully) mouth and drag them around the yard, I guess the scouts were right. DB is the position.
He's not tough enough to be a RB (yelps when a paper plate sneaks up on him and falls on his backside without warning), and tends to fumble a lot(lack of interest in "things"), but he is obnoxiously agressive as he constantly is agrivating his older cocker adopted sister (who isint pretty enough to be a cheerleader and too fat and lazy to be a football player.........I should name her Moe).
He now stands about 18" tall at the shoulders, has legs that look like pencils, but has an outstanding vertical leap ability. As best I can measure, his VL is about 44" at the tip of his nose, and about 34" at his front paws. This has enabled him to cause great pain in my groin area when he decides it is fun to jump straight up and use his piercing front paws to relaunch off my ballz.
I think he has All Big XII written all over him, but I belive his tendency to chase *****-cats will keep him from ever reaching Pro level doggie football.
Rufus as a HS soph just looking kinda cute:

Now the he has grown to almost 4 times the size of the pics and added weight, speed and strength, I submit my wire-haired terrier/obnoxiousmutt mix Rufus to the OU Sooner All Dog Football Team.

My basset has mastered the art of laying down and eating... It's a gradual transition from eating on all 4s, to sitting, to laying down. Sometimes even this is too taxing so he takes breaks to nap and then proceeds to finish eating.
He's the canine version of Brian Wilson.

Kaizer, my old and slow German Shepherd Dog, has always fancied the Will LB position. In his prime, he was great against the run, could cover in the open field, and still has a nose for the ball. He bobbles balls, but in frisbee football he'd be a solid TE.
On the other hand, he doesn't wrap up on his tackles and tends to create achilles injuries due to his technique running down players from behind.
Alas, these days he'd probably be best roaming the sidelines as a coordinator. Not the kind that wears headphones, but the kind that looks intimidatingly at you when you f***-up.
As for the poodles, they would have to be scat-back types that slip in and out of packs of players unscathed to hit the open field.

yup, mine too (chihuahua) or else he'd be the coach, cause he yells a lot.
not sure about the new one, he's a puppy and still in training at his granny's.

Scooter, our late baby that we still terribly miss, was hands down a DB.
She had moves that were second to none:

Molly, our 7# toy Pomeranian, well, she's a slug, so benchwarmer at best.

Mine would be the guy on the punting team who chases the ball down and watches it roll to a stop before touching it just to be sure.

My little pekingnese/weiner dog mix named Fluffy would have made a great Q style running back. She was little, but she could catch well and run really fast.
My dalmatian Spinner would have made a great cheerleader. She was athletic enough to get by, but she would have been best utilized doing stunts on the sidelines.
RIP both of them.

LMAO!!! Our Border collie/retriever hank does that. It cracks me up because I have never seen it before. Harley the basset is so lazy he eats his food one kibble at a time. It takes Hank 5 seconds to eat his food. Harley-an hour at one kibble at a time. Have you ever noticed a basset will take any chance he can get to sleep. Today we went for a family outing. We were on a walk and stopped for 2 minutes. he laid down and went to sleep! Lazy but loveable dog :)
