Seriously, how is possible that Jack "The Assassin" Tatum, Lester (13 ints in a season, 3 Pro Bowls) Hayes, Jim (Two Super Bowl Rings) Plunkett, Cliff (Cenntenial team Runner up) Branch, Todd (5 Pro Bowls) Christensen, Steve (13 Pro Bowls, 2 ALL Pros) Wisnewski, and Dave (All Pro, 3 Super Bowl Rings) Dalby are not in the Hall of Fame? Not to mention Tom Flores. - Each one of these player's numbers exceeds other Hall of Fame players.

[@1983jblack]

I'll agree on some of those - Branch, Flores, Wisnewski, and maybe Hayes. Plunkett won 2 Super Bowls but sat right into the driver seat of a Super Bowl team twice (I think Marc Wilson could have even led the Raiders to a SB win with the '83 team). He couldn't lead the Pats or 49ers to sustained success. Tatum is on the line (He was good but not great; He was beaten in pass coverage quite a bit and instead of playing fundamentally would go for the knockout any chance he had). He actually was a better DB his last 4 yr of his career and his last season in Houston was his best statistically when he quit playing head hunter

I watched Ohio State football games when Jack Tatum played for the Buckeyes. From the stands you could sometimes hear the impact when he hit someone. I played football and have been to many games - high school, college, and professional and have never heard that sound except when I heard him. Obviously, I never forgot it.

[@stevepeterson1377]

I have a close friend that is also a Big Blue fan. He was more than a little anxious before THE GAME because of Ohio State’s previous two routs. I suspect you may have been too. We had a good time after “I” lost because I don’t define the fate of world by how the Buckeyes do, but I do like it when they beat Michigan. I am going to read Tatums book, it gets good reviews. BTW a lot of the comments on line we from those who don’t appreciate that the game has changed and head to head contact was not illegal. Some of the Tatum shots I heard at OSU were pad to pad contact, not to the head. Like I said I have never heard that sound since.

[@merlball8520]

Tatum was dirty, as were many of the rest of the Raiders back then. Madden was a talented coach and a great commentator, but he was also a scumbag for pushing that team to the edge of the rules and beyond. Also, others could hit harder. Tatum would just rather allow receivers to catch the ball and hurt them afterwards.

[@mikegike7273]

As a Steeler fan since '74...I dunno about your last comment. As Jack said in his autobiography, he didn't get paid to catch interceptions. He got paid to hit and intimadate 'pretty' receivers.

[@jasonsabourin2275]

@@mikegike7273 that's B.S. I don't care how good a hitter you are, your going to miss your hit and the guy's gone, and no one wants to admit that Tatum got burned many times when he should have went for the ball, or just made the tackle, yeah it's fun to watch him hit(I love the Big hits TOO), but constantly going for the big hit gives you the lowest percentage for making the Defensive play, if he played with that mentality today he wouldn't make it in today's NFL. P.S. Everybody just wants to remember the hits, but good coverage wins games, it just doesn't make for good highlight films.

His ability to launch-sacrafice himself into larger players with a perfectly timed collision at full momentum had to have been scary for smaller receivers. Swann and Stallworth were pretty smart. They would catch passes near the ground or fall or duck before impact. But Swann retired because of Oaklands DB's

[@wilk9555]

I believe with Swann it was personal because I saw Atkinson blatantly close line Swann from the rear of his helmet after the play had gone down field. And absolutely dirty play in any era

Also God bless Daryl Stingley, he did not deserve that to happen to him. No Raider fan wanted that.

I know, right. There are flags flying in the NFL now that weren't even considered as "flagrant" in '90's NBA. Reference Greg Ostertag's take down of Mike. I played both Football and Basketball. I don't know where the games are going. But what I do know is that if you B!tched back in the day like some of these "athletes" do now, they would have been laughed at.

Brady in my opinion,is not the goat.He benefits from modern rules, protections and cheating/ game fixing.

@@nala3038 I'm trying to formulate in my mind what it means to be a GOAT in professional football. And I'm in the early stages of concluding it is PREPOSTEROUS to label any single NFL as "the GOAT of his sport." I think that's where people make the mistake and don't use critical thinking skills. Most professional football players only play on one side of the ball---offense or defense. There is so much more to winning a football game than being able to throw, run with, or catch a football. Baseball players and especially basketball players are required to play both sides of the ball; making the GOAT conversation much more appropriate within these sports. Debating Tom Brady among the greatest QB position specialists? By all means. Debating Brady/Jerry Rice/Jim Brown/etc among the greatest football players ever? Most likely a lost cause.

I’d say 5. If even that

Grew up watching this kind of football ,not for the weak or timid. Players of today would have never made it back then,there too soft. Put those big shoulder pads back on and you can deliver a good shot with the shoulder ,Tatum loves to use the shoulder ,lots of power, no real hitters intodays game , I have always wondered why the NFL and college went too the hockey style shoulder pads ,put the big ones back on and feel the thunder.

Jack Tatum's defensive backfield running mate was ferocious also George Atkinson.

You ain't kidding. Ronnie Lott played next to Dennis Smith at usc. Like that johhy cash song goes " I hear that train a coming "

Dr. Death Alonzo Skip Thomas was a no joke either.

That’s right, and frankly I think George Atkinson laid more people out with that clothes line. Didn’t they make that illegal?
