I remember watching a nationally televised game between the Giants and the Redskins when all the hype was on LT. The pregame show they promised to keep a camera on LT to show us what athletic gifts this superhuman possessed. "The greatest linebacker in the history of the game, making fools of offensive tackles, a terror to opposing quarterbacks, teams change their offenses... yada yada yada" spouted the color guy (I think it was that idiot, Dierdorf, he hated the Redskins)

Well, LT spent the night going up against Joe Jacoby and it wasn't pretty. Jacoby swatted down LT all night long including a few pancakes. Then, late in the game, Jacoby slips and LT gets the sack. Sure enough, "JUST AS ADVERTISED! LT HAS BROUGHT HIS 'A' GAME! YOU CAN'T DEFEND THIS GUY! HE'S SUPERNATURAL!!!" Reminded me of Dickie V.

I had to chuckle...

I prefer to watch the replay of the Theisman sack where his leg ends up by his ear... (sarcasm) That would be a Philly fan cheering for someting like that.

Y'know, talking about Jacoby, this'll tell you how much football has changed in just fifteen years.

Joe Jacoby was 6'6", 305 pounds. Every play-by-play and color commentator mentioned what a monster he was, with his size. He was, I believe, the only Hog that ever went 300+ on the scale.

Nowadays, 6'6" and 305 would be an average, or even smaller, offensive tackle on most teams. And that 305+ pound tackle would be faster and more mobile than Jacoby ever was.

A 305-pound lineman has gone from freakishly big to "eh, he's not so huge" in just 15 years! Amazing!

That sounds like Dierdof. I never could stand that guy. Everytime he opened his mouth, something stupid fell out.
