I can tell you in two words: Rodney Harrison Rodney Harrison remains one of the league's most feared hitters. Rodney Harrison. It's not that Harrison has anything to do with the tryouts. It's that he has everything to do with the officiating, with the New England safety expected to serve as one of five interns chosen from NFL rosters. The league office on Friday confirmed that Harrison, the Hit Man the league loves to fine, will participate in the three-day clinic, with the first session beginning Monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSJ Posted March 6, 2005 Author Share Posted March 6, 2005 RS did you ever see Jack Tatum play??? No, he was before my time. I have seen highlights of him but that is not like watching a player week in and week out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may call Harrison the Hit Man but Tatum was the "Assassin"..The Raiders were the right Team for him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage69 Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Really? In his book, "They Call Me Assassin," Tatum defended his style as aggressive. But the limits of aggressiveness were questioned on his hit during a 1978 exhibition game that paralyzed New England wide receiver Daryl Stingley. Tatum was also fined for a punishing hit that sent Steelers receiver Lynn Swan to the hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew about the Stingley hit, but that is it. That is only because it is replayed all the time. Remember that SS that played for the Cards? I believe his name was Chuck Cecil? I could be wrong about his name. He claimed he was ran out of the NFL. I think that was the dirtiest, and hardest hitter I have ever seen. Second ofcourse is R Harrison.

TomShane Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Cecil hit exclusively with the crown of his helmet. He's lucky he's not eating through a straw right now. Sav, who was the other Oakland safety that played with Tatum? Weren't those guys the dirtiest pair of safeties ever to play professionally?

The only one's that come to mind in that period that played with Tatum was Willie Brown,Colzie and Atkinson..The Raiders also had a backup DB who went on to acting and got his break playing Apollo Creed in the Rocky movies!! :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetme23 Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 They did a special on tatum on HBO inside the NFL. It was amazing. His hits looked legal for that era, but he was definattly an assasin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
