O'Neal was an excellent pro that seemed to perform in obscurity, at least to the "casual fans." To me, as a college football fan enthusiast, he was one of the best defensive linemen in college history. As an undersized DT, weighing anywhere from 230-250 during his career, he made plays all...

Tommy Mason, former Pro Bowler, died 1-22-15.

OK...it was great coaching; I would agree on that.

But, still, it was a fabulous play by Butler. This was not Larry Brown having two balls thrown right to him that Blind Lemon Jefferson could have caught......then he gets the MVP.

Capiche?

Absolutely. What is lost here is Butler's All-World Dick Lane, Deion Sanders, Darrelle Revis, Sherman, Mike Haynes type of play. That was a phenomenal display of instincts, needless to say.

Oh, I was PISSED........ I was for Seattle.

Erich Barnes, I agree, should be on this team.

Off topic: Barnes, Lester Hayes, Lemar Parrish and Louis Wright are all more deserving as corners over Dick LeBeau in the HOF, in my opinion. Also, I think they are better choices (arguably) than Emmitt Thomas for Canton.

Personally, I would like to see more emphasis put on quarterback pressures; they are just as important as sacks, at times. In fact, I would not mind seeing quarterback pressures as official NFL stats, though that may be difficult, I do not know.

I was ecstatic to see Kenn on here. I have been complaining about him not being considered for years. Kenn, IIRC, got screwed in 1991, by not making the Pro Bowl, but he was a first team All-Pro. Darren Woodson, IMO, has absolutely no business being ahead of Atwater, Lynch, Joey Browner, Easley, Pat...

I have been reading this book, and it is excellent.

Great job, Coach Troup!
