Derrick Thomas never scored a TD (this surprised me). What also surprised me is LT never got a safety, to DT's three. The coup de grace is the tackles. LT had over 1000 to DT's 600. DT didn't really play the run. He'd rush the passer first and play the run second.

Had DT not been speeding and weaving thru traffic (driving recklessly) it would not have been a tragic young death.. Had he not been paralyzed he would have spent time in prison for manslaughter.. Just like TD had Greise not thrown that pick he may have been the best RB of all time.. man love makes one turn a blind eye.. |

Now if you want to talk about yahoo's that was LT.. From what I remember one of the least gracious guys to ever play the game.. At the time LT was playing in the REAL NFL, DT was playing in the second fiddle AFCW.. maybe even third fiddle.. |

Don't get mad at me because ESPN didn't look at the stat sheet. Pro football reference is wrong too.

I can remember a few stripped balls on LT sacks in games I watched. No way he only had 3, use your brain. He had what 1000 tackles? Cmon dude use some logic. |

While I would have loved to have DT as a Bronco only because he would have been doing that to other teams and NOT to Us, LT was head above the better of the two.. It is obvious to anyone old enough to have seen the two and that understands the game that defending a chef over a giant is lunacy.. |

Regardless, a fumble is perhaps the easiest play to recognize. And since I was a teenager when LT retired, I saw him play into my adolescence - in the playoffs and on MNF and SB XXV. So no, you are wrong. I was not too young to remember if he had more than three fumbles or not. Even if I was, do you honestly think I would assume someone with 145+ sacks and 1000+ tackles would have had only three? I still am shocked you really believed that. /Cue subject change.

Bad call with the 1/2. You could make the argument that Von Miller was the best linebacker in the entire league last year, not just in the AFCW.

You seem appalled by LT not having 33 forced fumbles recognized. Maybe you should go here and tell them their error. http://espn.go.com/espn/contact |

Miller is already 2nd team All Pro by the AP with a broken hand for 7 games. Next year he's going to replace Suggs on the 1st team with 16 games with 2 hands and two feet

He rushed the passer as well as any sack-specialist in the league and his run-stuffing was impeccable. IIRC, PFF's rating system had him ranked highest last year. That is with a broken hand and the usual rookie fatigue, mind you. A healthy Von Miler is quite clearly one of the best linebackers in the entire league and arguably the best. Anybody who has watched him play should know that already.
