Anderson usually covered the tight end, back or receiver if the cornerback reacted to the flat, or short pass. Not many strong safeties have three seasons with eight interceptions but Anderson did, as well as make big hits. He was DROY in the AFL and like John said, DPOY. No doubt had he not been i...

I'm not quite old enough to remember either Anderson or Scott that well. But I do think it's important to bring up that Anderson played SS, Scott played FS. Anderson, he had 8 ints as a SS one year and Scott had 4. Usually that's flipped - FS has many more. Anderson had another year with 8 picks. Th...

Those Cowboy teams were pretty complete, IMO. Aikman was great - great leader, tough, very accurate, played his best in the biggest games, and extremely poised. Awesome offensive line, Emmitt who was excellent, Darryl Johnston who was an outstanding blocking back and Jay Novacek, who was as huge par...

As a fan, I appreciate having some access to what Josh Gibson, Stachel Paige, Buck O'Neil - what their statistics might have been and what their teams' overall stats were. It's difficult to gauge the accuracy of the records because the games weren't covered nearly as well by the media. It's not like...

This is awesome - thank you for posting it. And great observations, Bryan. And all of the 6 lowest teams have at least one WR in the HOF - and half of those teams have 2 WRs in. In the Raiders case, two WRs and a TE! Surprised that The Greatest Show on Turf isn't higher. Even more surprised by the S...

I wouldn't say necessarily "equal" but I would say Brown, Lombardi, and Noll are above everybody else - a higher tier of coach than anyone else. They are each their own, so I wouldn't call them equals but they are equals in terms of who they are historically, IMO. And I guess maybe that's...

The issue for me isn't that. It's that I'd seen a lot of football and never hed seen it called before ... maybe you did, but it was something that was a surprise. It meant they were wrong for years and years and that was when they started enforcing it. Right! That's my objection exactly. That was t...

1971 last year of hashes where they were...1972 they were narrowed and running game took over. The less extreme of the wide side vs narrow side allowed runs either way ... teams no longer ran sweeps to the wide side majority of the side. Fantastic point. The number of 1,000 yard rushers doubled in ...

82 Raiders might have been derailed with the strike and crazy 82 playoffs. There are probably other teams that could have repeated by winning the previous year.
