The guy that thinks Mel Blount couldn't handle Randy Moss? Antonio Cromartie did a damn good job on him yesterday.
Mel Blount couldn't handle Troy Williamson. I give zero credit to any DB who made his name playing during the "no pass interference" era. Sorry if you have good ol' days syndrome about slap s from the 70's, but DB's have gotten so much better over the past 25 year's it's incredible. The way they play basically with one hand tied behind their back due to how easily penalties get called, along with far better technique, and I'll take Champ Bailey or Ty Law in his prime over ANYBODY who ever played in the 70's.
Ty Law > Mel Blount, in either era. Blount couldn't play to Law's level in this era, and Law could manhandle receivers with ease in Blount's era.
Nice pick for the game, btwChargers all the way!

It's too different of a league to try and compare eras.
Plus, you can't say Blount can't play in this era unless he gets the same bennys that the guys in this era get: taught proper technique, nutrition, weight training year round, etc.
I don't see why not....people are quick to say how wussy players are today compared to the good ol' days, and that QB's wouldn't be able to handle playing back then cuz they wouldn't be protected, etc.
Which rule are you talking about? There were two rules changes to open up the game, one in 1977 and one in 1978. Blount played from 1970 to 1983. He was all-pro and a pro-bowler in '75, '76, '78, '79, and '81. He was all-pro in '77. That tells me he played through rules changes and still excelled.Mel Blount couldn't handle Troy Williamson.

He couldn't cover Troy Williamson? You being such a hardcore Patriot fan must remember Mike Haynes. Could Haynes cover Williamson?
And on my prediction, I stand by it. I didn't expect for LT to get hurt so early in the game so that kinda of killed my prediciton. Also, the wind was pretty strong in the first half which kept the game under on the points.
, I've been wrong before. But I know I'm not wrong about Mel Blount.
Yeah we all know that Pro Bowls are good indicators of player excellence. *cough*RoyWilliams*cough*
Mike Haynes style was alot more conducive to the way defensive backs play now. I don't think he would not be a Hall Of Famer in this era, however. The 70's are the most overrated era of the NFL by a longshot. Lots of old timers won't let that decade go which is why it gets the respect it does.
Mel Blount's entire game surrounded being physical and manhandling receivers. His game has no adaptability to today's game.
you are.
I have called out Mono for being a bandwagon guy many times on this site, and at least Mono has argued the matter and brought up past Pats teams to defend himself, but the above statement from Stretch is the truest and gayest thing I've ever read on this site about another poster. How much vested interest could you have in a team if you are from Canada and stated earlier that your teams never lose.
The only way I'll accept that this dude isn't the gayest bandwagoner ever is if I found out he's only 10 years old (which judging by his posts he may be) and he started watching sports when he was 4 and didn't know any better but to root for the best teams.
In closing San Antonio Spurs -> YOU ARE THE GAYEST MOTHER ER TO EVER POST ON THIS SITE................good job.
You didn't answer my question about the rules changes. You called it the "no pass interference" era. What years are you talking about? Pre 1977? Mel Blount played until 1983. Yeah, he was physical. But he had speed and he was a great athlete. So was Rod Woodson. So was Lester Hayes.
Mike Haynes wouldn't be a HOFer in the modern game? I call bull . Your arguments are laughable.
Next your going to tell me Gale Sayers, Jim Brown, and OJ Simpson are overrated.
ok, feel better now?
I could care less of when and why you became a fan, why don't you?
You need to feel better for yourself on the internet by calling others bandawagonners?
whatever makes you feel less miserable

You stupid . Are you actually admitting being a bandwagoner?
you are 12 so you probably having reading comprehension issues.
I don't have to admit or deny it because I could care less of what he thinks.
Thank you
I'm not 12 but you really are a self admitting got ass bandwagoner.
you're not 12?
LT may not have been in excruciating pain, but he knows his body and probably had a good idea of whether or not he could help his team more in his current condition than Turner and Sproles. I have a hard time believing he didn't want to be out on the field for the biggest game of his career. Who knows? I don't have a really strong opinion one way or the other.
I would agree with you about Williams but not about the 70's or Blount. While I don't think every all-pro or HOF'er would be able to adapt, I think several would. If you combine their natural talent and athletic ability with the technology and advancement that today's players have, I think several players from that decade would be successful now.
By the same token, I think there are several players today who could have played then but I also think several couldn't because of the lack of advantages they have today that didn't exist then. Receivers now have the luxury of the post 1978 pass interference rules. With as much as a lot of today's receivers about contact....I would like to see what they could do when you were allowed to bump them down the field.

Let me break your post down.
I felt fine before, but thanks for asking.ok, feel better now?
Well, it's an internet site dedicated to discussion and debate in regards to first and foremost the Spurs and beyond that, other sports and teams. So when you come in here and claim to be a fan of all these winning teams, it bothers people because you have thus created a bag type of a persona for yourself online and most likely, this follows you into reality as well.I could care less of when and why you became a fan, why don't you?
Again, I felt fine before calling you out for what myself and obviously others have noticed, that you are a bandwagon fan.You need to feel better for yourself on the internet by calling others bandawagonners?
whatever makes you feel less miserable
You see, the problem with people like you are that people like us cannot take anything you say in regards to sports seriously. You are an LSU, Red Sox, Pats, Spurs, Duke, Yankees, etc, etc type of fan and we know that once any of those teams start losing, you'll jump ship to whatever team you know will be easy to root for. You are the kind of person that es about politicians and then never votes. You suck as a sports fan and it's evident in your posts.
Again, saying this doesn't make me feel worse of better about myself, but I know it bothers you because it's true.
Then again, why I'm having a discussion in regards to "sports fan ethics" with a 10 year old is totally ing beyond me.
phillip rivers should change his name to ryan leaf..... they need to get brees back!
The only similarity Leaf and Rivers have are that they can both be found in nature.
Let's revisit this theory that Mono states as fact, while watching it from the comfort his TV/Gaming Console.
Dr. Mono claims the injury was nothing, and LT was cowardly for not playing. Anyone remember Adrian Peterson coming back from an MCL sprain the next week? How bout Priest Holmes, how long did he take to come back from his sprained MCL? Cedric Benson, he sure didn't come back after a week and try to play on his sprained MCL. Yet LT, who tries to come back a mere one week later on his sprained MCL is a pussy.
And to your comments about him sitting on the bench the whole game.......you weren't at the game were you? Why not wander over to the Patriots board and talk to folks who were actually at the game, then go check out the Chargers board and talk to folks who were actually at the game. Both will tell you LT was not sitting on the bench the whole game as the broadcast made it seem. From what I'm hearing, (wasn't at the game either) LT was up talking to M. Turner and the Oline and wasn't sulking on the bench the whole game as you'd like to believe. You've got a lot of nerve to run your mouth and spew bull when you've got absolutely nothing to back it up.
Game is on NFL Network right now.
