Dan 59 Posted November 6, 2007 Mel Blount is awesome but I think Ty Law was substantially better. All around. Look at the stats. They are comparable. Um, I'm sorry. No. Not even close. Mel Blount used to play further and further away from the receiver just to make it a challenge. And everything was man-to-man. Their stats don't compare because the defenses were different.

Antiramie 50 Posted November 6, 2007 I'm almost positive the interviewer was speaking of Pitt's offense looking great (when it's usually the defense that gets all the attention), and Blount misconstrued the comment as a ridicule of Balt's lousy offense and elaborated. Given the comical nature of his surprisingly blunt assessment, I'm sure Kolber(?) held back in correcting him to preserve the moment. EDIT: A full minute after posting this, I stand corrected. http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/Mel..._Pathetic/34688 I could still imagine the scenario I wrote happening, but it didn't.

Amen brutha... FWIW, Mel in his 50's could have done a better job out there last night cover the Steelers WR's than the Ravens did. While we're on the subject, I don't think I've seen so many vicious hits as I did last night, mostly coming from the Steelers, and many directed at Ed Reed. First, as if the fumble which went 15 feet in the air wasn't enough, it was Harrison piledriving Ed Reed's back into the turf after the ball was gone, classic. Then, that Hines Ward sneak attack block where he started calling to the sideline BEFORE the play was over. God I needed some Iron City beer last night, but it's a bit hard to find in Texas.

BirdBradyBobbyOrr 0 Posted November 7, 2007 Well you are correct what they did was issue an edict that the NFL would enforce the 1978 rule (was that Mel Blount's rule?) which means they had to make Ty Law stop playing like Mel Blount? Ty Law Rule Anyhow, Mel Blount is great, I've been reading about him all day and the SuperBowls speak for themselves, but Ty Law will also be a Hall of Famer and anyone who says otherwise is pretty much a Patriot hating fool.. I still can't imagine anyone being better then Deion. He was in a class of his own, tackling or no tackling, he goes from San Fran to Dallas and Dallas was all of the sudden the better team. That guy was a dominant dominant player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That guy was a dominant dominant player. Deion was the best cover corner, ever. Champ Bailey isn't close. However, that said, and with minimal Steeler homerism, I'd take Rod Woodson over Deion any day. Rod could and did all the things that Deion did, especially early in his career. And unlike Deion, he hit like a truck and was a sure tackler. Before anybody starts spouting off you should go and look at the #'s for their career and keep in mind that Woodson was not only a multiple ProBowler at DB but also at safety. Two of the greatest ever secondary guys played for the Burgh...both of which I'd take every Sunday over Ty Law. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
