All things Revis

When he became a NT, he also terrorized the centers he played against. He would line up at an angle facing the center and he used his quickness to anticipate the snap count and blow by or through the center. It was fun to watch.

More on Klecko:

While Klecko has been nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame several times, he has not yet been enshrined. Hall of Fame center Dwight Stephenson, in describing Klecko as a "great defensive lineman", considered him one of the two best interior linemen he had ever faced.[6] Hall of Fame tackle Anthony Munoz said about Klecko, "In my 13 seasons, Joe is right there at the top of the defensive ends I had to block, up there with Fred Dean, Lee Roy Selmon and Bruce Smith. Joe was the strongest guy I ever faced. He had perfect technique — hands in tight, great leverage. My second year, 1981, we went to Shea and beat the Jets, 31-30, but he was such an intense, smart player, I knew I was in a battle. He was the leader, the guy who kept that unit together."[7]

Hall of Fame guard Joe DeLamielleure added that "You can’t think of his ten year period without him. I had to block Joe Greene and Merlin Olsen when I was playing and, believe me, Joe Klecko was equal to those two guys. If Joe Klecko had played one position for ten years, he’d have been considered one of the top two or three players at that position, whichever one it was. There’s not another player who went to the Pro Bowl at three different positions. You take a defensive end and put him at nose tackle and he’s just as good there, that’s a great player. We need to get Joe Klecko in the Hall of Fame."

Tim Tebow has one. :lol:

 

Revis, came out right after that hit. I watched the game again last night. Nice hit by Powell. :up:

 

I believe it is b/c we never made a SB w/ him and b/c Gastineau dominated all the headlines even though Joe was the far superior player.

 

Point taken. At the same time, I wasn't talking about the average corners but the greats; greats whose 'skills' imho would seemlessly transfer to today (acknowledging the overall 'better jock' of today).

Herb Adderley was a physical stud in any era, Haynes smooth as silk, Lem Barney, etc., guys who were athletes that again imho would more than hang today and who would've dominated even today as well.

And as for the "waterboys" (lol-wha'??), fwiw, the "Paul Warfields" of those eras were pretty great too.

And even during those stone ages, there were guys such as Bob Hayes, Henry Carr, etc., who'd blow the doors off 95% of today's receivers speed-wise. They weren't all "crafty white" guys like you see today, yesterday's HOF'er Steve Largent, the truly great Tommy McDonald (440 sprint champ and NFL HOF'er), etc. notwithstanding. Of course today's great's are great, but not everyone's a Boldin, a Dex, a Megatron or a Roddy White. And all I'm saying is (to repeat ad nauseum), those greats I've previously mentioned imho would 'hang' with today's greats as well as Revis or anyone else.

Your opinion.

Tackling, obviously I'd give the nod to Revis over Sanders (we'll forget that one time during Tebow's 95-yard game-winning drive against the Jets where he kinda shied away from Tebow on one scramble-yep), but as far as covering Deion was just as good, only with a different style.

Revis is more of a hand fighter (great hand/wrist strength) while Deion was a 'bait & switch' type defender, much like a goalie "showing" an opening then taking it away when the shooter pulled the trigger, i.e. suckering the QB into throwing to what the QB thought was an open receiver.

And if INTs are part of the game, which they are, than you can not blow off the "Deion=better playmaker with ball in his hands" comment as a peripheral consideration.

Throw against Revis? Low reward.
Throw against Deion? High risk.
Both great-pick your poison.

And this "favoring the offense" is a two-way street. Yes, there's the no-contact-after-5-yards rule, but at the same time, there is a HELL of a lot MORE hand-checking and face-guarding allowed today while the ball's in the air.

 

P.S. Homer Jones was a beast.

 

Yes, clearly the better player. Unfortunately his injuries caught up with him including one courtesy of New England Patriot Don Hasselbeck's cheapshot on a prone Joe Klecko which was one for the books - one of the dirtiest cheapshots imaginable:

INTs don't tell us much, I would bet QBs throw less at revis than they did at Deion and I saw Deion get beat a lot against better competition whereas revis has dominated the best in this era.

Both all time greats, it's nitpicking but revis is the best I have seen.

Damn Revis, it hasn't even been 5 games yet and you are calling out your HC!

 

He's going to hold out at the end of the season and be traded to a division rival of the Jets, bet on it.

And Tampa will do it in a minute since there's no cap hit.

 

good. then he can cripple our rivals franchise for the rest of his career.

 

He already misses playing in a Ryan defense. He is going to give his agent shit. This will be a short, shitty marriage in Tampa.

 

One thing we can all agree with is that this isn't some John Riggins bullshit. Thank God.

 

If Revis wanted to came back to the Jets a La Lavernus Coles, will Jets fans forgive him.

 

Lets hope things get worse in TB while Revis appears on their roster next spring.
The better the 3rd round draft pick we get!

 

Nice to see Revis at 0-2.
