The National Football League features some of the finest athletic specimens in the world, finely tuned human machines that combine strength, speed and power to be the very best in the world in what they do.
However, on each of the 32 teams in the NFL there's a weak link in the chain, a player that would best serve his squad by spending as little time on the field of play as possible. It's those starters we'll "celebrate" here by looking at one player on each team in desperate need of some pine time.
1. Buffalo Bills

SIT HIM: Leodis McKelvin, cornerback
The Bills are a somewhat surprising 5-3 in spite of McKelvin's best efforts to make opposing wide receivers look good.
Really good.
2. Miami Dolphins

SIT HIM: Matt Moore, quarterback
How dare you throw three touchdown passes and win a game! Do you not understand what the Dolphins are trying to accomplish this season?
3. New England Patriots

SIT HIM: Devin McCourty, cornerback
I'm really not trying to pick on cornerbacks, although if there's one thing McCourty knows, it's getting picked on.
4. New York Jets
Nick Laham/Getty Images
SIT HIM: Santonio Holmes, wide receiver
If he got paid every time he shot off his mouth, he'd be Bill Gates. If he got paid by the catch, he'd be broke.
5. Baltimore Ravens

SIT HIM: Bernard Pollard, strong safety
Bernard Pollard can tackle with the best of them, but he couldn't cover a bed with a sheet.
6. Cincinnati Bengals

SIT HIM: Cedric Benson, running back
Benson has averaged less than four yards a carry both this year and last, and it's time to give Bernard Scott a shot.
7. Cleveland Browns
Matt Sullivan/Getty Images
SIT HIM: Peyton Hillis, running back
Whether it's the contract hullabaloo or the Madden Curse, he's nowhere near the player he was last season and won't be back next year, so it's time to move on.
8. Pittsburgh Steelers

SIT HIM: Lawrence Timmons, linebacker
Timmons is a classic example of a player who signed a fat contract extension and then fell completely off the map.
9. Houston Texans
Ronald Martinez/Getty Images
SIT HIM: DeMeco Ryans, linebacker
Not sure if it's the switch to the 3-4 in Houston or all the injuries catching up to him, but Ryans has been invisible this season.
10. Indianapolis Colts
Joe Robbins/Getty Images
SIT HIM: Everyone, everywhere
Right, like I'm supposed to be able to pick just one guy from this steaming crap pile of a team.
11. Jacksonville Jaguars
Rick Stewart/Getty Images
SIT HIM: Aaron Kampman, defensive end
Kampman was a very good defensive end once upon a time, but the 10-year veteran's knees are shot.
12. Tennessee Titans
Andy Lyons/Getty Images
SIT HIM: Chris Johnson, running back
The size of Chris Johnson's paycheck is the only thing keeping him in the starting lineup, which is sort of ironic given that it's what caused this whole mess to begin with.
13. Denver Broncos
Ezra Shaw/Getty Images
SIT HIM: Tim Tebow, quarterback
It ain't gonna happen, but if you can't complete 50 percent of your passes, then you have no business being a starting quarterback in the NFL.
14. Kansas City Chiefs
Jamie Squire/Getty Images
SIT HIM: Matt Cassel, quarterback
Quarterbacks get the glory when things are good and the blame when they're not, and after getting pasted by the winless Dolphins, guess which one you are going to get, Matt?
15. Oakland Raiders
Ezra Shaw/Getty Images
SIT HIM: Carson Palmer, quarterback
Remind me again why giving away two high draft picks to acquire Carson Palmer was a good idea?
16. San Diego Chargers
Donald Miralle/Getty Images
SIT HIM: Philip Rivers, quarterback
We'll just bench every signal-caller in the AFC West, because maybe a game off would remind Rivers that throwing passes to the other team isn't generally a good idea.
17. Dallas Cowboys
Elsa/Getty Images
SIT HIM: Felix Jones, running back
This one's likely a done deal, because in Jones' absence, rookie DeMarco Murray has taken hold of the gig at running back in Big D and, well, ran with it.
18. New York Giants
Patrick McDermott/Getty Images
SIT HIM: Greg Jones, linebacker
The fact that Greg Jones is starting at all shows just how paper-thin the Giants are at the linebacker position.
19. Philadelphia Eagles
Brody Wheeler/Getty Images
SIT HIM: Asante Samuel, cornerback
Malcontent defensive backs that tackle like six-year-old girls aren't usually high on my list of favorite players.
20. Washington Redskins
Patrick Smith/Getty Images
SIT HIM: John Beck, quarterback
The only thing keeping John Beck in the starting lineup is the fact that his backup is Rex Grossman.
