Football NFL guilty pleasures... - Page 3

This is the appreciation thread for players/positions/teams/coordinators/philosophies that you love and wish the Chiefs would add.

It may not be the absolute best thing the team could do but it's an aspect you like and wish the team would add.

Example
Guilty Pleasure: I've always loved the Phat backs. HB's with power that bruised a defense.
Example: Steelers. With Bell and Blount that's a huge sledgehammer. They can take a game over by themselves. You add WR's that can get deep and a QB that can hit them and that's an impossible offense to stop.
49'ers: Gore/Hyde. Hyde has the build of Eddie George with enough speed to get to the edge and turn it up field.

Defense: I'd sell my wife, my kids, and everything but my soul to have Dick Lebeau as our DC the last 10 years...

IIRC, my FIRST post after learning Roaf was retiring was something to the effect of 'here comes a decade of suck.'

And a Punt Return!!

Reminds me of Vinnie 'The Microwave' Johnson of the Bad Boy Pistons.

I was going to go with Oline like we used to have during the Priest Holmes era. I love going back and watching highlights of Priest running behind that line. What a thing of beauty.

Other than Jim Brown, the best backs at wearing down defenses have always been the guys with speed and vision.

Gale Sayers, OJ Simpson, Eric Dickerson, Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, and on and on.

Give me a Marshall Faulk every day over a Jerome Bettis.

Earl Campbell used to get the job done pretty well.

I had high hopes for Peyton Hillis when he signed with the Chiefs, but he sort of put in his time and moved on.
