The best
The best duo
Good duo. Reggie White and Jerome Brown would have passed them if he didn't die young. There were games that made me wonder if Jerome Brown was better then Reggie.
Olsen was purely an interior DT, so I wouldn't say he and Deacon formed a duo.
I do think Olsen was the best DT ever though.
Never watched Olsen but know his rep. Brown could have been an all time great DT. That really stung. Losing such a tremendous force at a young age. I remember Emmitt Smith darting up a hole in the line a Jerome sticking out one arm, wrapping him up and slamming him to the ground. Its just one of those amazing plays you never forget your whole life. That entire D was bananas. Clyde Simmons had 17 sacks with those two while Seth Joyner won DPOY. Sprinkle in some other greats like Eric Allen, Wes Hopkins, Byron Evans. It amazes me that team didnt get a ring.
Dick Lane could actually tackle unlike Deion, and talked like Deion, he told Johnny Unitas not to throw to his side of the field. Johnny didn't listen threw his way, Lane picked it off. Lane said I told you not to do it, don't do it again. Johnny did it again, picked off by Lane. Unitas learned his lesson.
Lane still has the interception record and it was 12 games, it will never be matched.
no shame not being as good as LT. IMO Tippet isn't even anywhere near close. But opinions vary. I do think he was a very good player.
In everyone's opinion, Andre Tippett is not in the same building as LT
JJ Swatt and it's by a landslide. OP is fired for not listing his name.
JJ Twatt has some ball to play before qualifying for an all time list.
It would be like the guy who nominated Andre Tippett based on 4 excellent seasons.
Body of work is essential.

Nobody has even come close to making as big as an impact on the field as Watt on the defensive side of the ball.
OP didn't say who had the best career ever. He just asked who was the best defensive player ever. Therefore, Lord Watt is easily the best ever. Nobody has even come close to making as big as an impact on the field as Watt on the defensive side of the ball. If this said who had the best career ever then it would be Reggie White. But if I had to select one person in their prime on D it would be Watt.

Over Reggie Whites 21 sacks in 12 game season?
