Your top 20 list of LBs has a Safety on it and you try to spin your stupidity still?

I've been calling him a lb for weeks now as you were to busy going off on tangents about PAC defenses to notice .Still waiting in your list time to actually talk football

[Black Adam]

Both belong in the list I just rattled off the top 20 I could think of off the top of my head. Put in your input and we will revise it as we go until we have the perfect list. Defensive player of the year and a big part in the steelers superbowl wins I had to put Polamalu on

the Chiefs homer in me says Derrick Thomas, Willie Lanier, Bobby Bell should be on that list...

No David Robinson?

 

[HUBSTER]

No David Robinson?

You could argue that he deserves to be on the list.

 

[GNG]

You could argue that he deserves to be on the list.

He is in the NFL HOF..

 

[HUBSTER]

He is in the NFL HOF..

I'd venture to say that there are more than 20 LB's in the HOF.

 

[GNG]

I'd venture to say that there are more than 20 LB's in the HOF.

A good point.

 

[Midnightangel]

Dick Butkus at #4? Really?

No love for the old school guys.

And Ray Lewis gets left off my list. Sorry...that whole 'double homicide' thing.
