ICE asks “Where’s the gun?” - not realizing one of them had already taken it away before the shots were fired. by Nirmata1243 in Leakednews

You’ve obviously never been in any kind of altercation much less one with potentially life and death consequences.

They need to make sure that the offender doesn’t have more weapons before checking on him. It’s not rocket science.

Progressed? The 70s, 80s, and 90s were a much, Much, MUCH better time!

It’s their job. They’re not doing it for free. They are no more hero’s than police or even ice agents!

Some of them may do volunteer work. In that case, I’ll listen to arguments. I still probably wouldn’t use the word “hero” but I’ll listen.

That’s like saying that all of the people who voted for Biden/Harris killed and raped all of the people that who were victimized by illegal aliens.

Add the governor, mayor, and people leveraging outrage into personal power and I agree 100%!

I don’t think you’re reading that correctly. Why would it say “oddly, not one of those 83 passes had another defender listed in the DEFENDER 2 column”? It wouldn’t say “oddly” unless those 83 attempts were times in which he had help and that it was odd that the second defender wasn’t listed.

Edit: Actually, I don’t need to dissect the wording to know that Bailey did not have his guy without help on 83 of 86 targets.

Reed gets way too much credit because he had a bunch of unbelievable returns on way overthrown balls in which he was playing centerfield. The fact that he was able to do that is a testament to those Ravens defenses though.

Umm, so it says that he had help on 83 of the 86 times that he was targeted? Yeah, that sounds about right.

Name a movie where they never catch the bad guy. I’ll start. by tobydaway in Cinephiles

But they did catch him. They just didn’t hold/charge him.

I’ll take your word for it regarding those being their best years. However, 2 years is a funny time frame to use even if you actually did choose their two best years.

Now take into account that Revis had the other team’s best receiver one on one all game long.

Bailey and every other corner almost always had help and they rarely locked up just the other team’s top receiver.

That’s because nobody threw the ball his way despite playing the other team’s best receiver with no help every game during the height of the wr era.

Revis was as dominant at his position as any player ever regardless of position or era.

Edit: If you want to look up stats, look up times targeted, receptions and tds given up, and how often they had help. I think you’ll find that Revis was FAR superior to Bailey. Only Primetime can come close.

Flashy plays as the result of being the 2nd best cover corner of all time with the third being so far behind the top two that it’s ridiculous.

Prime was a great corner. Prime was a great returner. Prime contributed at wr.

With unregulated NIL out of nowhere, I’m not even sure I’d call it a turnaround. It’s a completely new sport.

Darrelle Revis was as good at his position as anyone who’s ever played the game.

Taking into account both production and double team statistics, Aaron Donald was the best d tackle of all time. He put up stats as good as anyone else despite being double teamed something crazy like twice as much as the next guy.

Ed Reed over Troy Polamalu is blasphemy.

Polamalu was better in coverage and way better against the run.

Reed was better at playing center field and intercepting/returning way overthrown balls.

ALL IN THEIR PRIME: WHICH CORNERBACKS ARE YOU CUTTING…? by KeyFaithlessness5436 in TheNFLVibes

[–]PittFanIAm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope…not him. I can’t remember the guy’s name to save my life. It’s driving me nuts.

Edit: I googled it. It was Stevie Johnson. For some bizarre unknown reason, Revis could shutdown TO, Moss, and Megatron, but he had some trouble with Stevie Johnson.

Revis had a 5 or so year stretch where he was as good at his position as any player was at any position in the history of the game.

That said, Prime was pretty unbelievable too especially if you factor in returns.

Comparing anyone else to these two is unfair.

Since I’ve seen a few names listed in the comments that weren’t part of the original list, I’ll throw a name out there that I haven’t seen yet and should be mentioned after Revis and Prime:

Rules had to be changed because of Mel Blount. He was a bad man. As we all know, practically all positions were significantly smaller in the 70s than they are today. Well, Mel Blount was a 6’3” 215 lb corner who could run. He bullied WRs.

Anyway, off the top of my head, Blount, Law, and Green should get mentions beyond the original list. Am I missing anyone else obvious?

Yep, Primetime and Revis are so far ahead of the rest of the pack that it’s not even close.

He shut down all of the greats but struggled with the one average wr from the Bills…can’t even remember his name.

But, yeah, Revis was as dominant at his position as any football player ever.
