Busted leg....end thread.
He lost 9.5 sacks due to the lack of "official" sacks, which first began being recorded in 1982. That would "vault" him to 5th on the all-time list, except of course for all the players who lost more sacks than him (Alan Page, Deacon Jones, and Jack Youngblood). For what it's worth, Taylor was not a unanimous selection for AP MVP. Dickerson had 1800+ rushing yards and Marino had the second biggest season of his career in 1986.The leg. More so for the image of hitting the Qb, not the injury. Hard to boil him down to one play when he did things like become the first defensive player in NFL history unanimously voted the league's MVP (1986).It's a shame he isn't considered the NFL career sack leader. He lost some because sacks weren't an official stat till a couple of years into his career.
I'm a homer. I can't let facts get in the way of my big blue goggles.He lost 9.5 sacks due to the lack of "official" sacks, which first began being recorded in 1982.

My thoughts exactly.As for the second play listed in the poll, I actually remember his INT TD against the Niners in the 49-3 playoff rout more than the Thanksgiving INT.
i remember him rushing from the outside and sacking the QB again and again and again... then, being so hopped up on goofballs that he played the playoff rounds one year on a broken ankle.It wasn't one play but the '88 Saints game, destroying the Saints with an injured shoulder.
Surely every knowledgeable fan would vote for the Theismann leg injury.This one is gonna be a nail biter.
Not to be a Vermeil, but what was the point of the poll then?Surely every knowledgeable fan would vote for the Theismann leg injury.This one is gonna be a nail biter.
Yes, sadly it would be more representative of his life if his HoF bust was made of glass and stained with resin.i remember him rushing from the outside and sacking the QB again and again and again... then, being so hopped up on goofballs that he played the playoff rounds one year on a broken ankle.It wasn't one play but the '88 Saints game, destroying the Saints with an injured shoulder.
How else would you prove to someone that his signature play was the Theismann leg injury over the DET INT TD?Not to be a Vermeil, but what was the point of the poll then?Surely every knowledgeable fan would vote for the Theismann leg injury.This one is gonna be a nail biter.
