Marty Lyons - Sports Illustrated

Too old for me to even know what this is but **** the Jets anyway!
it was awful. I think it was on monday night football in 1986 maybe. I think it was on intertception and it was block into dwight stephenson. I think he had nerve damage after that hit in his knee.. Some people say that marino was never as good as he was when he had dwight. Dwight is considered one of best centers of all time. like top 3.

Maybe it happened in 1987 but in 1986 we lost hugh green to knee injury too. Green played again but was never the same and we gave up a first and second for him.

Also joey bosa dad John bosa was first round pick for us and ripped his knee up twice. Back then those injuries basically ruined careers.

We had tons of career ending injuries in a span of three years in mid 1980s. Just brutual

Dwight Stephenson was arguably the best Center to play the game. In the 80s, was even picked as the top Center for the all-Superbowl team, then one day Marty Lyons D-linemen for the NY Jets decided to go low with a cheapshot to Stephenson's knee...And that was the end of the career of the greatest technically sound Center to play the game....WAYYY to early.
 
Disgusting low hit on sideline. And I believe they were teammates at Alabama. Another jet a-hole
they were
I was reading about how after the game he went to the locker room to see Dwight.

Lyons said Shula took him to equipment room. Didn't put a hand on him but got in his face reemed him out. Told lyons that he would never forget about that dirty hit and basically he never did. He still feels badly about it. I will post link if I can find story again.

It was 1987 and ole Marty was pissed because the Dolphins were beating their ass. FYI, Bosa could've had two perfect knees and still sucked ass. He was a chemistry lab rat. Looked like Tarzan and played like Jane.
 
The same way that a lot of people compare our QBs to Marino, I compare our centers to Stephenson.

I probably expect too much from them.
