boyst Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 LOL great point Paul. I'm trying to figure out a way to get to this game now.I have an idea I can help out with. Buy me and whichever girl I'll be going with plane tickets and I'll let you follow us to find your way. Smith was a once in a generation player. Levy and Polian made the right choice and didn't let him go to Denver for two #1 draft pics. He always gets compared to Reggie White but I'd take Smith over any DE ever to play the game including White. Reggie white did not have the competition to get to the qb that Bruce did. Not to mention that white only had two moves and was slow unable to set an edge. The difference in the two was night and day. White was a pure qb rush specialist with few moves but excellent ability to use them. Bruce did it all and did them all at an exceedingly high level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's No Moon Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 About time! Ralph, for whatever reason, was reluctant to retire numbers. So glad to see that the new regime does the right thing. It's risky honoring living people. See also Simpson, Orenthal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
