Morning Update (7 Sacks Edition)
Derrick Thomas' record sack day
- Kent Babb - "He’s a few minutes removed from going down an exhausting and depressing list of injured players, and then Edwards makes an almost seamless transition into a story. It’s a Gunther Cunningham story. These are always good."
- Check out Herm's Q&A from yesterday.
- The over/under on this weekend's game is 49. I'm thinking I'd take the under, unlike Adam at AA.
- Yes, yes, yes - Remembering D.T.'s record day.
- The Saints almost threw the ball 60 times last week.
- Quick snapshot of the Saints:
There's not a lot of news to link to this morning so make sure you watch that video above. Seven sacks....so ridiculous.

I haven't watched the video
But you probably mean Dave Krieg.

Ooh
I can’t watch streaming video at work but I assumed you were talking about the QB he was playing against in the 7 sack game on 11/11.

Nah
Everybody knows that was former Seahawk, Chief, Lion, Cardinal, Bear, Titan Dave Krieg. I was talking about the guy crushing Jeff George…it may have been Leslie O’Neal.
It was George
if you replay it and pause it right before the hit from behind, you see his name
"But what do I know, I’m like an empty room with a large ECHO"
I would almost think because
he’s a modern day Chief and none of the press think much about the Chiefs after Lenny and Hank left. I think the better question could be, Why the hell are arrogant biased sports writers the only ones voting?
"But what do I know, I’m like an empty room with a large ECHO"
and thats what bothers me
there are many very good and great players who give their all for this League and only a few are ablt to get that ring. That should be a post product of their measure of success for enshrinement into the HOF. IMHO
"But what do I know, I’m like an empty room with a large ECHO"
It is very unfortunate.
I agree with you because it is more of a popularity contest. DT dominated and put fear in every QB he faced. The knock on him for not being a run stopper is very misleading. He was one of the top pass rusher of his time. When you think of Reggie White, Bruce Smith, and LT it was about sacks and causing havok. In the end he had 127.5 sacks, 40 forced fumbles and 16 recoveries. 4tds and 2 safeties.47 tackles for a loss on top of the sacks. All those sacks and tckl for loss equalled a loss of 567yds.
Indecision is the key to flexibility
Its funny...
…that the first time I saw this video was two days after Osi Umenyiora had gotten six sacks in one game…He was up against some God awful LT but he still got that many….TAKE THAT BALDINGER!
It would have been nice to have him in 2003
He could have given the defense boost enough to get us to the Super Bowl
