Standing with those three guys, was your safety ever in doubt?!

I met Ronnie Lott at a Super Bowl event once. He’s definitely got the crazy eye, but he’s one of those dudes where you feel like you’re in the presence of greatness.

Savage69 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 For Rice and LT fans Rice went to the 49'ers with the 16th pick in the first rd we took Toon at 10 so would could have had him.. LT on the other had went to the Giants with pick 2 we took Freeman with pick 3 so that was not to be.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs someone else to throw to him to get the job done. Thats why I took someone like Brown and would take LT as my second pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s fun, ordinary folks like me have lots of opportunities to interact with former and current players. Their football alumni club was founded in 1956, they felt the players and fans benefit by the accessibility to each other by starting several traditions and events that bring the players and fans together. Sadly I (and thousands of other USC fans) spoke to Junior Seau a few weeks before he passed away. Haunting, heartbreaking and shocking for us, for a long time.

More Cowbell Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Larry Allen, Orlando Pace, would also take Emmit Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMan77 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 This is hard!... I'd have to pick from Mean Joe Greene, Rice, Ray Lewis, Walter Payton or Jim Brown..., LT of course... Maybe Reggie White or Deacon Jones. Uff this is hard... But I think I'll go with Joe Greene... Dude was a terror. I think QBs were downright afraid of him. He probably couldn't play today. Watch some clips. Sometimes he just slaps QBs in the head after the play, heh. But one reason I like him is because he made that whole Steelers line better. He's THE reason the Steel Curtain became a thing in my mind. He helped make that entire line play like pro bowlers... And if I have to pick one guy here it's going to be someone who makes everyone around him better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgb Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Good thread. Prime Gronk probably mismatch nightmare and ultimate young QB safety blanket. Prime Revis also deserves consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joenamathwouldn'tcry Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Jim Brown, Jerry Rice and Lawrence Taylor in that order. Jim Brown was the most dominant player during his time that this league has ever seen. Jerry Rice's production and longevity was a big factor in winning three Super Bowls, for the 49ers. There has never been a more consistent, dominant and durable receiver to play the game.. Lawrence Taylor was the biggest game changing defensive player ever. There has never been a more disruptive force like him, before or after. Virtually unblockable. Would have loved to see him play the game without the drugs, he would have been even more special, I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
