Haynes was great but he played in an Era where you could use your hands a lot more and the PI rules were far more lax. That's why these debates are fun. Game is different in every era.
So none then...cool.Another stupid comment by you.
Very underrated player for sure. His 2006 season should go down as one of the best performances by a CB ever. I think if I remember right he had more interceptions than actual catches given up that year. Throw in during his time he was one of the best tackling CB's in the league. Even with teams not throwing at him that season he still contributed 86 tackles which is unheard of for most CB's.
Who is the All Time Leader in INT and when did he play?Uh huh....Jack Ham: More first team all pro selections than Brooks, more interceptions (in an era where they passed far less) than Brooks, the NFL DPOY for 1975, a member of the all decade team of the 1970's and a member of the all time 75 year anniversary team.
Sure...completely delusional......to a Tampa Bay Buc fan.
Agreed, right after Lester Hayes' 1980.
i'm going with andre tippett, my childhood favorite player and the most dominant guy of his era not named LT.
153 games, 100 sacks (10 seasons, i dont count his rookie years limited appearances). thats 53 more games played than sacks, or .653 sacks per game.
For comparison sake, LT had 132.5 sacks in 184 games. LT played nearly 13 full seasons to tippets 10.5 lets call it. LT had 51 more games played than sacks, or .720 sacks per game.
19 FR for tippett. (LT had 11)
andre was also the ONLY NE defensive player worth a shit (may add vincent brown in his short time here), and was constantly double teamed.
same class, same era.
LT had more room to work. that giants D had other guys you had to worry about too.Tippet was good for sure.
I'd still take LT though.

andre was a one man defense.
Yet, even with all of those other guys to worry about he at times saw 3 guys trying to block him. That's how good he was...LT had more room to work. that giants D had other guys you had to worry about too.

And not even closeNo argument.
Still take LT though.
LT was in NY and on a winner. he got more fanfare.Yet, even with all of those other guys to worry about he at times saw 3 guys trying to block him. That's how good he was...
yeah, i grew up watching (or rather, watching road games and listening to home games) tippett.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.
