True, but that's like saying do you think Peyton manning could take getting hit 3 to 5 seconds after he threw a pass, or if WR's could take getting mauled 15 yards down field and not getting PI calls. That's why it's hard to gauge against different eras.
Do I think the the 70's Steelers...
Yea they were great as well - I think the thing for me that brings them down a notch was that Gruden was the coach on that team and he knew EVERYTHING about the raiders. But yea, still gotta give them their props, they we're great as well, but I'd put them after the 4 I mentioned.
Steel Curtain. They got the hardware and longevity to back it up
Hawks - most dominant defensive performance in the history of the Super Bowl, considering the opponent (best offense of all time)
85 Bears - If we're talking single season, they still are number 1. But they dont have the...
Yea Marino. For the era in which he played, he was amazing. It really says something when it took damn near 30 years and a ton of rule changes before people starting putting up Marino numbers.
The Hawks dont ask him to do much. They rely on Defense, big time. Now, when they DO ask hom to do something, he delivers, but his defense and team in general is so great, they pretty much just tell him dont lose the game. But I would not call him a game manager with his win loss record. He...
Talk about a dominant performance on all phases of the game. Some thoughts
1. I don't know if this is the greatest Defense of all time, but it's certainly the best defense in at least 10 or 15 years.
2. I gave him a ton of flak last year, but now RW is my second favorite QB (after RGIII of...
This, this and This again!
A first rounder for a back that hasnt done crap...way to go Browns. This is the new NFL. You dont pick RB in the first rounds anymore unless you KNOW they will turn out like AP.
Richardson might be good, but the media talks up this guy as if he is a top 5 back.
Because College is a passing league. 20 years ago, teams were running Wishbone at College and QB's didnt get to throw nearly as much as they do now (with a few exceptions).
Now, dudes at Miami of Ohio are throwing the ball 75 times a game.
Also, QB in high school pass a alot as well
1. QB...
We'll yesterday he didnt do anything to put him in danger. We didnt run any read option yesterday. It was straight drop backs. RG3 isnt BAD at straight drop backs, but it's the weakest part of his game right now. He's still raw when it comes to extensively reading defenses. It doesnt help...
Yes he was tentative and unsure but it also seemed like he was favoring his plant foot. Maybe it was just me, but I noticed a slight limp later in the game
Yup, he WAS NOT planting on that foot. That much was clear. I didnt see any limp from RG3 all game. I was watching VERY close. He...
He looked like what Tom Brady looked his first game back from ACL...tentative and unsure. It looked like he was struggling mentally in the first half. After he got over getting hit and the mental blockage left, he was MUCH more fluid and reactionary in the pocket, extending plays and making...
RG3 will be ok. He's going through his preseason RIGHT NOW. Dude showed a ton of heart last night, thats for sure. His first half was horrendous but he was good in the 2nd half (65% completion, 2TD, 250+ passing yards although he did have the INT on a GREAT play by the DB). Rg3 made one bad...
The way I understand it, if the QB is CLEARLY not envolved in the play, he is protected, but if he is hit, say 1 second or 1.5 seconds after, he is fair game. Again, it's making sure the QB is clearly not in the play. The NFL says that if a QB places his hands in the air to show he doesnt have...
Yup. This isnt the 80's or 90's when an ACL was a career ender. Dudes now-a-days come back from broken legs, ACL's, necks, all types of stuff. Of course some heal faster than others, but Im not shocked by what I see people come back from.
Thats becasue RG3 is a beast - a different breed. We'll, maybe not a different breed, but he's pretty damn good. Some people just heal differently than others. We see it first hand in Washington. Brandon Merriweather tore his ACL mid season and it looks like he's going to possibly miss the...
