You guys got his right! Lester Hayes and Mike Haynes were by far the greatest most effective cornerback tandem ever. It's a scandal that Lester Hayes is not in the Hall of Fame with Mike Haynes.
How can the league let Hayes use sticker and then punish him by neglecting his introduction to the HOF and Hayes and Haynes was a great tandem,I remember how difficult it was to pass on them.
I was waiting to see Hayes and Haines mentioned and was prepared to scream out the back door if they weren't on this list. Good going guys! They were formidable!
Can someone explain to me why Lester Hayes isn't in the Hall of Fame? DPOY in 1980. 5x Pro-bowler. 2 Super Bowls. 1980s all decade team. What else is there? And don't give me that stickum BS. Stickum doesn't make a covered receiver open and doesn't make a bad player good.
It’ll get you the interceptions. That’s why the Judge pick numbers went down. With stickum all over his body he almost broke the single season record for interceptions with 13.
Lester was SO big! He had those 13 INTs, I also remember Everson Walls’ 11 INTs, may have been consecutive seasons... Love seeing Hayes/Haynes in those intimidating black jerseys... That was back when “Silver & Black” MEANT something!!
@Harry Engel They were a great pair of CBs, I remember Walls because he played throughout the eighties, but i have less clear memories of Dennis Thurman, but i do remember him from the late seventies and my football cards lol... To think CBs and not Safeties picked off 13 or 11 passes in a season seems insane to me now
Revis and Company in 2009. They held teams to 8 TDs the whole year with 17 interceptions. Edit: 8 Passing TDs. Revis, Lito Sheppard, Kerry Rhodes, and Jim Leonhard.
Stick ‘‘em helped Hayes finish off plays with interceptions but his intelligence, as well as, physical and athletic capabilities got in position to go for those interceptions.
The Lions are the franchise on this list that have Two or Three Cornerbacks in the Pro Bowl, Two players apart the All-Decade Teams in their respected decade and all Three are in the HOF
0:00 Everson Walls and Dennis Thurman. 3:01 Kevin Ross and Albert Lewis. 6:13 Willie Brown and Skip Thomas. 9:43 Deion Sanders and Larry Brown*. 12:57 Mel Blount and J.T. Thomas. 16:43 Dick LeBeau and Night Train Lane*. 20:28 Herb Adderley and Bob Jeter. 23:35 Eric Wright and Ronnie Lott. 27:18 Frank Minnifield and Hanford Dixon. 31:56 Mike Haynes and Lester Hayes. *= Despite Prime Time and Anyone else means Neon Deion's random teammates. So I put Larry Brown as an example because he was the Super Bowl XXX MVP. Same thing with to Dick LeBeau. So I put Night Train Lane as an example.
Larry Brown was an ok player, and obviously had five picks and a further three in the playoffs while next to Sanders, but in my opinion the best corner Deion played with while in his prime was Eric Davis in San Francisco who was an all pro and two time pro bowler in the years after playing with Sanders. To clarify, in 1999 or 2000 when he played with Champ Bailey, I think he may have been more out of prime.
Love these so much! If I had to make a request, Top 10 Comebacks (not player comebacks, in-game comebacks) is one I'd really like to see. Thanks for the videos!
Just a clarification, when Deion played with Washington for one season in 2000, Champ Bailey was a Second-Team All-Pro while Deion wasn’t his normal self. The guy is also in the Hall of Fame. I know he was very young but I would say he wasn’t an average corner when he played with Prime.
He was better when Darrell Green played opposite, in fact him and Fred Smoot always leaned on him for advice, how come Champ kicked butt with the Broncos
Yes. I’m a Raiders fan so maybe I’m a bit biased, but afa a nearly-equal pair of CBs goes, there can’t be a better pair than Hayes/Haynes. Deion is the best CB ever, but these guys were the best pair. Dixon & Minnifield were like that also.
Lester the molester was spectacular. Michael Haynes well I called him the shadow, because a shadow is always with you. You can’t get away from your shadow. I have always believed they were the best combo ever. They played versus what was listed as one of the best receiving combos of all times Mark Clayton and Mark super duper with the Miami dolphins and they totally shut them down. Just phenomenal.
@Harry Engel Hey there! They seem to have done well in at least recognizing the tandems that got attention in playoff games over the decades. As time goes by we now realize that the NFL makes it’s only real money off viewers watching each week in the present moment. They can’t get 10 million viewers watching a game replay from the past & they now emphasize post season success so much because those are the money games that keep networks & sponsors paying billions of dollars for the entire season. So the days of a Sonny Jurgensen being fondly remembered & making the HoF are in the past as the NFL has more influence w/sports media & pushes national recognition of players whose teams made the post season. 😅
Harry Engel I don’t the remember the order of the rankings but the Raiders were ahead of their time from the late 60s until 1983. Lester Hayes was always one of my favorite as was Mike Haynes. I believe that theae lists need to look at the combos w/the safeties included. The Lions in the early 1960s, the ‘64-‘68, Packers w/Herb Adderley & my Steelers w/Blount & I think Thomas & the 1980s 49ers were all special tandems & fit their times perfectly. No one really beat those teams in important games through the air. They all had great CB tandems who could adjust with or without the pass rush. Of course back in those days The running game could win games without much of a passing game. The entire backfield of the Seahawks Legion of Boom years was excellent but it wasn’t man to man coverage. It seems like there’s an arms race between DBs & WRs so things will fluctuate. CB to me is one of those positions where are the position as a whole is filled with so many talented players over the last 10 years that few get recognition because most are really good. Darrelle Revis of course stands out over the past 15 years. Hope all is well with you. Stay safe. 😀
@@diegopons4622 i am only guessing, but that’s an easy mistake to make, Earl Thomas, to me anyway, looks more like a CB, size-wise. Brandon Browner (as is Sherman) is BIG, esp for a CB.
So glad this was posted in full. Deion is arguably the GOAT CB but the discussion of his partners was disingenuous. 10:28 I get the announcer said “almost” but that was 2nd year Champ Bailey who made the Pro Bowl that year next to Prime. And in Baltimore, Chris McAlister was the #1 in ‘04 and made the Pro Bowl. Samari Rolle joined in ‘05 and Deion only started 4 games that year.
Lester Hayes & Mike Haynes is, was, ever will be the greatest cornerback tandem of all time. The duo completely shut down the Washington Redskins wide receivers in Superbowl XV111. The Raiders last of 3# Superbowls world championships. The first Superbowl world championship for the city of Los Angeles, CA. It's a low down dirty shame that Lester Hayes is not in the Hall Of Fame. Hayes won DPOY in 1980. Hayes holds the all time season record 13# interceptions. Hayes was on the 1980's all NFL decades team.
“The drive” shouldn’t be a mark against the Dixon and Minifield. They playing a prevent type defense where there was very little pass rush with left the dbs out to dry and gave Elway had all day to throw
Mike Haynes and Raymond Claiborne were hard to beat New England especially with the stellar safeties they have back there. If New England's ownership hadn't been so cheap and kept pains him and Claiborne could have formed into one of the best duos of all time
Can't argue with #1, then again, I'm a Raiders fan. Can I get an horrible mention Eric Allen and Charles Woodson. Boy they were great together, and EA should be in the hall of fame also along with Hayes. The 5th best CB (Haynes, Hayes, Woodson, Allen) I saw play for the Raiders (been a fan since 1980) was Terry McDaniel, love watching him play.
Terry McDaniel and Albert Lewis don't get a mention...neither does Woodson and Eric Allen...hell this whole list could be populated by Raiders' corners...Willie Brown and LCB.
I'm not a Raiders fan but I agree with the number 1 picks tandem of Hayes and Haynes. If you planned on beating the Raiders back then with the pass you were in for a very long day and if you were forced to play catch up you were in real trouble
People can say this and that about great defenses, but I'll match it with the Raiders 1983 D with them all. Hall of famers Long, Haynes, Hendricks - Raiders sack leader all time Townsend - and not to mention the insane Alzado and former defensive player of the year Hayes. Millen great LB and loved Pickel and Kinlaw. Van McElroy was amazing as well. Just crazy great. So many Hall of Famers and Pro Bowlers/All pros on that D.
I feel like cornerback tandems are less impressive nowadays. Now I feel you need 3 great guys, 2 corners and a nickel corner, in order to really shut down offenses. What teams have the best 3 guys
@Fries too many teams have 3 great receivers and a tight end. The ace set is basically the standard. If you can only shutdown the two wideouts an offense will still pick you apart.
nothing but love for Deion but I feel like on a list of the best cornerback tandems every entry on the list should be, y'know, a tandem. They could've at least put Deion and Tim McKyer or Deion and Larry Brown.
@Hate Myself he wasn't good but he wasn't that much worse then Skip Thomas, so if Thomas gets to be on this list then theres no reason Brown cant. but personally i'd go with Deion and McKyer.
You cannot discredit a player for using stickum as somehow a debit to his ability when that product was legal to use it. ANYONE in the league could use it, WR's and DB's so that is a empty argument. He still had to cover the WR, he still had to anticipate and break on the routes. All stickum did, which was legal, was allow him to hold onto the ball when he was there because of his skill, talent knowledge and ability. Stickum can't make up for those skills.
The 80s raider defense does not get talked about enough Number 8 on top 10 linebacker corps Number 1 on top ten cornerback tandems Then throw in Howie Long, Van McElroy If the raiders took Marino or the trade for Elway went through they would’ve ruled the 80s
Also, not to mention that team made an AFC Championship Game with Jay Schroeder at quarterback in 1990, so Marino may have had a shot to go a decent distance there.
How about Ty Law and Assante Samuel? Not even on the list? 104 int's and 5 Super Bowl victories between them. Also had Rodney Harrison at safety. That 2 H.O.F.'s and Samuel should be, plus Rodbey had bout 35 career pics as well. Couldn't crack top 10 or beat Dion +any guy.. I call Buuuuullllll Shiiiiiiiittt.
No doubt deion was the best CB ever, especially pure cover corner but I thought it was kinda lame to have him ranked top 10 for CB tandems, if they hadthrown that in as an honorable mention and said hey, arguably deion was as good as some of or most of these tandems by himself cool I get that but this was best CB tandems, idk i guess if nothing else they could have mentioned who was the best CB who did happen to get to play onthe other side from deion.
Everson 😂😂!! And just because Brown created bump& run coverage doesn't mean he should be higher on this list. It's about tandems not individual cornerbacks
Thurman/Walls? Do these guys know what numbers are? In 1981- 21st in pass defense that year; 18th in 1982, 27th in 1983 . Try again. How about Mel Renfro/ Herb Adderley 1970? 3rd in passing yards. Renfro took out the other teams best, Adderly gambled and played run support. Super Bowl VI- Warfield gets shut down. Ring. Both Hall of Famers. Add Cornell Green and Cliff Harris- best secondary Dallas ever had. Add the medium cover ability of Jordan and Howley, plus the pass ruching ability of their D line- best D Dallas ever had. 1977 was close, but no.
Diehard Steelers fan for 50 years but Lester Hayes not being in the HOF is ridiculous. The man’s resume reads like one of the Best Ever
I agree with you 💯
You guys got his right! Lester Hayes and Mike Haynes were by far the greatest most effective cornerback tandem ever. It's a scandal that Lester Hayes is not in the Hall of Fame with Mike Haynes.
How can the league let Hayes use sticker and then punish him by neglecting his introduction to the HOF and Hayes and Haynes was a great tandem,I remember how difficult it was to pass on them.
The Skins got punished by Hayes & Haynes in SB XVIII!! Black Sunday!!!!!

Obviously this aired back in 2008, but when Peyton went to Denver, Aqib Talib and Chris Harris Jr were beasts together.
Definitely
The Redskins had some good tandems. D. Green & C. Bailey. Primetime & D. Green. Etc.
I still believe if Snyder hadn't fired Schottenheimer after one year, that team would have developed one of the more fearsome defenses in the league.
6:26 I know it was indirect but that is the first time in my life that I heard someone calling Willie Brown *overrated*
He’s not overrated.
Skip may have been a little bit, but it’s not like he got any individual accolades or anything.
😎 Back with another top 10 Issac Green underrated as hell 😂
I just went to roster behind Hayes and Haynes. Van McElroy. 111 games 33 ints. Or an int every 3rd game. That pass defense was awesome.
Don't forget Mike Davis, a very good SS and the man that stopped the Browns from going to a SB. 😎
Mike Davis was the other safety I believe.
VS the cardiac kids & Brian Sipe. What a game!!! Mike Davis couldn’t even feel the ball but held on…..LEGEND!!!!!! RN4L
He’s back 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
2021 couldn't have started any better. Keep it up
Revis and Company in 2009. They held teams to 8 TDs the whole year with 17 interceptions.
Edit: 8 Passing TDs. Revis, Lito Sheppard, Kerry Rhodes, and Jim Leonhard.
Yesss!!!! Jets fan here. What an incredible Backfield that was.
Albert Lewis & Kevin Ross....underrated at #9.

Another great mention Sam Madison and Patrick Surtain
Sam Madison and Patrick Surtain should be in the top 10.

Exactly, should have been in years or decades ago.

Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas in the future would make the top 10, in my opinion.

Definitely and Maybe one of the Talib tandems, Barber n' Him in Tampa 08-'12, or that his short time in New England, or his Denver years.
Post more top 10s highlights of my day
So glad this was posted in full.
Deion is arguably the GOAT CB but the discussion of his partners was disingenuous.

Yes!!! MOAR
Honorable mention rod perry and pat thomas with the late 70s rams
I saw one of the best of the rest segments, and it mentioned a corner named LeRoy Irvin who played in LA in the mid 80’s.
Night Train Lane, Dick LeBeau and Lem Barney should be #2
Lester Hayes & Mike Haynes is, was, ever will be the greatest cornerback tandem of all time. The duo completely shut down the Washington Redskins wide receivers in Superbowl XV111. The Raiders last of 3# Superbowls world championships. The first Superbowl world championship for the city of Los Angeles, CA. It's a low down dirty shame that Lester Hayes is not in the Hall Of Fame. Hayes won DPOY in 1980. Hayes holds the all time season record 13# interceptions. Hayes was on the 1980's all NFL decades team.
Actually Dick Night Train Lane holds the record with 14 interceptions back in 1952,during a 12 game season.But Lester Hayes should be in the HOF
Chris Harris Jr and Akib Talib would be one of the best pairings since this was released
I hope Old Man Willie would be proud of Heyward and Hobbs
“The drive” shouldn’t be a mark against the Dixon and Minifield. They playing a prevent type defense where there was very little pass rush with left the dbs out to dry and gave Elway had all day to throw
No way,this list is BS, Blount has to be number one because they had to change the rules because of him and he was one hell of of hitter
The way they describe Emerson walls reminds me so much of how they describe trevon diggs
Good shit
Isaac can you upload Top ten pass rushers and QB/WR combos
Eric Allen & Bobby Taylor were great in the 90s
Patrick sustain and Sam Madison biggest snub
Mike Haynes and Raymond Claiborne were hard to beat New England especially with the stellar safeties they have back there. If New England's ownership hadn't been so cheap and kept pains him and Claiborne could have formed into one of the best duos of all time
There will never be none better than Hayes and Hanes.
Prolly got made around the time they got together but Revis and Cromartie were legit

weird bringing up the Eric Wright tackle in the '81 conference title game when it's now a personal foul penalty in today's NFL
Eric Wright's tackle, Lester Hayes' stickum. Man, do I miss the old NFL!!!
Surtain and Madison not being on this list is a tragedy. It probably was made when they were still playing tho...
thats a good call
Made in 2008.
I feel like cornerback tandems are less impressive nowadays.
Now I feel you need 3 great guys, 2 corners and a nickel corner, in order to really shut down offenses.
What teams have the best 3 guys
@Fries too many teams have 3 great receivers and a tight end.
The ace set is basically the standard. If you can only shutdown the two wideouts an offense will still pick you apart.
21:38 a testament to their football intelligence.
There was a year where Tim Jennings led the league in interceptions and peanut Tillman led in forced fumbles
nothing but love for Deion but I feel like on a list of the best cornerback tandems every entry on the list should be, y'know, a tandem. They could've at least put Deion and Tim McKyer or Deion and Larry Brown.

#5 should be #1, #10 should be #2, #1 can be #3 and follow suit.

Lester had a great year in '83, but I'd take Ray Clayborn & Mike Haynes.
Monte Jackson and Rod Perry mid 70s !
I would say Champ Bailey was his best opposite corner. Unfortunately, he wasn’t peak at that point, and I mean Deion. He was old and injured.
I saw Champ Bailey get torched by Raiders Jerry Porter for 3 touchdowns receptions!!!
Champ Bailey was overrated!!!
@@crazyeyes7596 That’s 🧢
Basically all these CBs tandem none of them are in the Hall of Fame. Maybe outside of Night Train & Dick LeBeau. Which is a damn shame
#10 thanks for being so good Emerson. Signed a 49er fan
#9 belongs a lot higher than 9. Willie Brown created the bump and run.
#8. Lame
Everson 😂😂!! And just because Brown created bump& run coverage doesn't mean he should be higher on this list. It's about tandems not individual cornerbacks
Thurman/Walls? Do these guys know what numbers are? In 1981- 21st in pass defense that year; 18th in 1982, 27th in 1983 . Try again. How about Mel Renfro/ Herb Adderley 1970? 3rd in passing yards. Renfro took out the other teams best, Adderly gambled and played run support. Super Bowl VI- Warfield gets shut down. Ring. Both Hall of Famers. Add Cornell Green and Cliff Harris- best secondary Dallas ever had. Add the medium cover ability of Jordan and Howley, plus the pass ruching ability of their D line- best D Dallas ever had. 1977 was close, but no.
Great Point. Everson was like Trevon Diggs he makes plays but also give up some big plays
For deion sanders part, did he skip over champ bailey and said did not strike fear in offense. just WOW?
Kinda mad Bobby Taylor and Troy Vincent didn't get a mention.
Deion Sanders and Kevin Smith, Dallas Cowboys ( not the best duo, but very good).
Darelle Revis, Antonio Cromartie
Legion of boom perfected cover 3
Sam Madison and Patrick Surtain
Revis and Cromartie
Talib and Harris Jr
Sherman and Browner
Gilmore and J. Mccourtey
Charles woodson and al harris
Deion and Champ? Common now give Champ Bailey some more love than that
What about Ronnie Lott and the other guy he played with. Before they made him and safety, all I remember is he was cross eyed
Ronnie Lott & Eric Wright is #3 on this list. I guess you fell asleep
so there were 3 different Detroit players with the number 20 and 2 out of 3 are in the hof that number lucky for Detroit lol
@Harry Engel righhhttt they could have 3 thats crazy the lions are terrible lol
Lamar Parrish and Ken Riley belong on this list!
Absolutely
Top Dawgs #1
