I never called him that, and I don't really even know what that means.
I don't think the game plan for Derrick Thomas was ever to do anything other than go balls to the wall to sack that QB. I'm pretty sure the defense was built around him not covering the flats and not stopping the run. They built an entire defense around him so that he could rape QB's faces and our defense, for the most part, was truly elite in the 90s with Derrick Thomas.
and I realize you're not bashing the guy, I really do ... but it's amazing how this board treats Chiefs greats from the past.
People still want Tony Gonzalez to go **** himself. Amazing.
