DCBongo Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Nope, every critical drive you would hear "holding, number 79, offense, 10 yard penalty repeat 2nd down". My father and I still prefer to any offensive holding as the Ruben Brown memorial penalty. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad used to go on and on about this. I met him once as a kid, really great guy. Wish I could say that about some others but anyways. As I've gotten older I've noticed my dad's sports opinions are awful. Much like mine lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion exactly, Brown was overrated many years if anything IMO. Edited September 16, 2018 by billrooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Rueben was excellent and not underrated by virtue of his many Pro Bowls. I thought Jim Ritcher and Joe Devlin were underrated Offensive Lineman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was voted to 3 pro bowls and 2 All APro Teams while playing on a very crappy team. This means he was widely recognized by the league and the sports writers. He was a shutdown corner before they came up with the term. He was the reason they outlawed the bump and run. James is on the Bills Wall of Fame after a 6 year career. This is both recognition and appreciation. They can get no higher honor. Had and he played 10 years he may have been a Hall of Fame player, but like many, many, others players injuries shortened a great career. He he was not underappreciated but time moves on.

Big Turk Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) Honestly I think he might be the most OVERRATED player...he was good, and great for a few years maybe but a lot of those pro bowls toward the tail end were coming from name recognition...he probably only deserved 3, maybe 4 of them based on his actual play. He was definitely NOT as good as you would think based on his resume. Edited September 16, 2018 by matter2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
