DEACON JONES. I loved him. I'm sure most of you never seen him play. He was cool.


I'm just amazed that during his career they thought it was cool for someone to cross the LOS presnap and give the opposing player a damn concussion before the snap

It's quite ridiculous looking back that no one was like "hey that that's not cool" for that long

Dude was unreal. Anytime a player changes the game forever and the way offenses game plan, you're one of the greatest of all-time.

LT in first, Ricky Jackson (personal Bias), Deion, Troy Polaumalu, 2-4 in no particular order. An JJ Watt closing the gap.

That picture looks like Butkus just killed that Lion player, and the ref is thinking "That's a flag, but I'm not gonna be the one to throw it".

Ray Lewis really knew how to knife his way through the line to get to the quarterback

Rod Woodson is the greatest DB in NFL history. I don't know what's so funny. He certainly has a case for best defender ever

6x all pro(at 2 different positions)
3rd all time INTs
1st all time TD returns
11x pro bowler
World champ

How did LT "revolutionize" football when Rickey Jackson came out the exact same year and Andre Tippett came out one year later and they did the exact same thing that LT did?

I mean, nobody ever thought of a stand-up speed rusher from the edge. Except Bum Phillips in Houston and Jerry Glanville with the Grits Blitz in Atlanta in the 1970s.
