Vikes D Line Number 1
Printable View
Some would argue that he is much more than that.
No surprise that the Vikes are number one on someone's d-line rankings. I don't know if I agree with Cole's take on a lack of depth at the end spots. The Vikes aren't sitting a star on the bench, but Robison is a quality player on either side. The other backups are okay too.
I also thought this factoid was interesting:
Didn't know that, but it wasn't hard to guess who the first guy to do it was - Reggie White. White did it twice, getting 18, 21, and 18 sacks from 1986-88, and getting 14, 15, and 14 from 1990-92. Oh, and the 21 in 1987 came in 12 games. In other news, Reggie White was really good.Quote:
Allen has been named to three consecutive Pro Bowls and became only the second player in NFL history to post three consecutive seasons with at least 14 sacks.
Cole's treatment of Edwards also seems fair to me considering he's mentioned in one of three sentences about the team. Hardly an expose', and referring to someone as a complimentary pass rusher in comparison to Jared Allen is not a knock on the guy.

Who was being mean? I can see the beating of the deadhorse theory but it is all in good fun. If anything that was said here hurts someone's feelings then I believe they are in the wrong site.Quote:

I've seen far worse things said about the actual person that get over-looked or thought of as funny. IMO nothing that was said here was said in a mean or "bullying" way.

He was so good that he put up some of the best numbers in the NFL...but of course, all those other "complimentary" DEs put up just as good of numbers as Ray did...don't they? :silly:
All the while being a stud against the run at the same time...that must be his other compliment... :P
