SkippinTurtles Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Back in the day, try going over the middle against those 3. Cooper Kupp, good luck. Off-season fun topic. Boo fun. Take football literally. Cleveland is NFL Vietnam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Bone Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 E Rock is still my 2nd favorite Brown of all time, only a step behind Clay. I loved the rules back then where points weren't artificially manufactured so the casual fan wouldn't change the channel.... Today's phone addicted human needs football games to be 31-27 or they'll lose interest and watch Tickity Tock. Lott was just plain scary and will always be one of the NFL's best players ever. Taylor? To be honest he's not on my remembering radar for anything other than his death. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjp28 Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Over the middle from his Ohio State days to the Oakland Raiders, Jack Tatum was among THE scariest hitters.....ever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippinTurtles Posted May 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 Big nickel is the answer to scrawny WR's going over the middle. Just the size will scare those little pussies. It's still a contact sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohh, many have certainly debated who's 1 or 2 between Lott or Tatum.. I'm recalling my rankings, from a sports bar I attend. List still hangs on their walls.. I was also attending there when the local media writers put them in order.. Their biggest deciding factor was.. Lott's body parts surviving over Lott's career games played over Jack's.. 14 years, of which 10 were Pro bowler level from Lott..Tatum played 10 years with 2 PB Ties are no fun but, either way...the 71 era..vs. the 81 era.. Lumber laying 👀 was so much fun to watch 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingley did forgave Tatum because he realized it just was a tough sport. Now as a hitter on the gridiron I'd take Tatum -but- Lott was just good, couldn't miss with either one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippinTurtles Posted May 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 These 3 would have turned Tom Brady into Marcia Brady. Tatum paralyzing the little white receivers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How true. He would have retired from professional football long ago, none of this 40+ year old NFL quarterback stuff. Throw Brees and others who would have been " beat up and gone" before 35 +/-. Kosar, Bradshaw, Stabler and many more were beat up and felt it well before 40. And throw in their receivers who are now protected by the new rules.....and rightfully so. CTE and other crippling injuries are brutal in tackle football, especially NFL football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
