It’s just sinking in

I wasn't worried until you included Krafts boy, Mac and Cheese....

I try not to be biased but that kid has yet to show me he can do any one single thing better than meh.

Good call. Though the guys we have now both have legitimate HOF shots. I’m sure it exists but I’m having a hard time coming up w such a high profile duo since that Raiders pairing

Pat and Sam could have benefitted from team success. They certainly were in the category of a Ronde Barber while they were playing, but lack the association with a championship team or notable defense in tge grand scheme of things.

Agreed. In hindsight they are probably underrated / under appreciated

Our CB duo - on paper - might be the best tandem since the Raiders fielded Lester Hayes and Mike Haynes (acquired via trade) which they rode to 2 SB wins the early 80’s IIR.

Ramses the Great and Professor X - I hereby dub them. Yes, I know they both may be a little past their primes but they both make plays. They get turnovers. They score TDs. They change the outcome of games.

Serious question - besides Hayes and Haynes, what tandems would you put up there w these guys?

Most here would take that - those guys were studs

Question: Who take WR#1 X or Ramsey or do they just stay on their side and take whoever lines up there ?

 

[daryl]

KC had some great CB's in the 80's tho I can’t remember their names now......maybe Deron Cherry was one of them

Albert Lewis and Kevin Ross

Man those Raiders teams were not only the dirtiest in football, the broke every rule made and had new rules made because of them lol

Good thing Don sat on the competition committee lol

You have heard of the Patriots haven't you???

 

[SF Dolphin Fan]

Sheesh. Well, not to be grim but there’s the likelihood that some of these guys miss games due to inevitable injuries etc. But yeah, we have our work cut out for us

Also shows why the trade could be huge for Miami. I think winning the AFC East is the key. It's going to be difficult to get a wildcard berth out of the division. In fact, 11-6 might win the division.

Great question. Ramsey is more physical than X. I’m wondering if it will be dictated by matchup style / type ?

 

[FSUDoles]

good memory there brother....they had a great secondary

I was at that Wildcard game at Pro Player….January 1991…they (Ross/Lewis) shut down Dan through three quarters…until they didn’t. That was dicey…

 

[royalshank]

You have heard of the Patriots haven't you???

Haha - well the Raiders were the original asshat cheaters I guess. Kraft, Belicheat and the Deflator took it to a whole other level

Albert Lewis still wakes up at night in a cold sweat over that 95 yard pick 6 - whoops - 9 yard TD pass to Clayton to win the game

Holy bajesus - that looks like me whenever I try to spray Great Stuff to seal window and door drafts!

Yeah right??!! Stuff turns that ugly shada yellow in no time.

I always **** up and get it all over me. Most recently a big blob of it fell on the floor and the cat walked through it. Wife was not too impressed
