Best DT of All Time

[rmilia1]

I am obviously biased as well but Alan Page not being included in your "safe" list is amazing to me.

Page is number 1 on my list

 

[Nosferatu]

Page is number 1 on my list

Joe Greene
Bob Lilly
Merlin Olsen
John Randle
Cortez Kennedy

Good list, but Bruce Smith was a DE.

Shit... I thought he played both. Well give me my number 17 then Ray Childress

Yeah, I'm a dope. Page is definitely not coming off for Hampton.

Childress is who I took off when I added Long.

Why is Reggie White not on the list of 16? And Hampton was a L end.

 

[Nosferatu]

Why is Reggie White not on the list of 16? And Hampton was a L end.

Because Reggie played LE. Hampton played more than 50 games at DT.

 

[noonthirtyjoe]

Because Reggie played LE. Hampton played more than 50 games at DT.

No Hampton was a DE and White played DT more then DE.

 

[evolver115]

No Hampton was a DE and White played DT more then DE.

Are you talking Hampton as in Casey Hampton?

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Man that's tough. Cortez was really the only HOF caliber DT I watched play.... so I can't say he is the best DT (obvious bias is obvious). I will say though, he's on my top 3 of players I would love to have young/healthy ON THE TEAM NOW (who was on your team prior years). Kennedy, W. Jones, and Hutchinson would probably be my 1-2-3. Largent is close by Jones/Hutchinson is bar none best left offensive side to play football ever. (k went a little off track).

 

[Irish7478]

Page is number 1 on my list

Do you consider Page #1 because he was the only defensive lineman ever to win the NFL's MVP award? Or because he was the first (and one of only 2) defensive player to win it. Something that no one else on that list ever did.

Are you talking Hampton as in Casey Hampton?

Dan Hampton most likely… But Casey was a beastly anchor. If we were talking about 3-4 NT's then Casey would be somewhere near the top of the list.

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

Cortez!!!! He played on some BAD teams so he never got the national exposure, But Seattle's D even on those bad teams had some stout years behind Tez eating up that line... our 2-14 team back in the early 90's had a GREAT defense despite our utterly inept offense ... Tez was and anchor and always got double teamed ... Seriously hard to say who the absolute best was but Tez was SUCH a force..

Randy White, Joe Greene and Deacon Jones

 

[Nosferatu]

Randy White, Joe Greene and Deacon Jones

Deacon played end.

 

[UK Cowboy]

I think the best ever is Jerome Brown. Give me Deacon Jones, Joe Greene, Jerome Brown and Reggie White up front. Condolences to the OL

I swear I remember Howie Long playing tackle. Fridge? I don't think so. I'm a little surprised you didn't include Leon Lett.
