One day, I wish a woman loves me the way Bill Belichick loves Ed Reed.
U have me dying 😂😂😂
Great call man, Ed reed and Lawrence Taylor the two guys that make Bill cream
Can you imagine what BB would do if he had Ed Reed on the Patriots? That's scary to think about
Lmao bro I was in love in bill the way he love ed Reed brooo THAT LOVE SI KEMMAAA CUUHHH
Lmaaooo facts
Wow I’ve never seen Bill Belichick absolutely gush over a player like he does to Ed reed.
You can tell he respects the hell out of him. What an awesome video
Spilled Champagne must not have seen him talk about LT
Did you watch the video backwards?
Neon Deion is in the first few minutes, and BB gushes all over him. Had to hand him a towel.
Cause ed reed is the goat at his position.
Caleb Norris Ed reed is first ballot idiot. And Ed reed is is the the top 100 all time team and Dawkins isn’t
@@bachemmama3599 oh I thought he was eligible earlier. Ya definitely the goat coverage safety
Bill legitimately looks more excited talking about Ed Reed than he does when winning divisional championships
Not just the divisional, but afc champs
Super bowls are all that matters in Boston
Best safety ever
The only thing he loves more is cheating.
Damn it's like Belichick knows every player that ever played the game. It's an honor to listen to him on this topic
Favorite comment. He looks like a complete nerd of the game. And I LOVE IT. Gonna look for more interviews of him. Lol will be difficult to find lol cuz he's so quiet.
He's a living encyclopedia. Probably the greatest football historian alive today.
He does. And if you watch the end of any patriots game he seeks out the ones he really respects and whispers a few words. Usually they become patriots down the road.
@@carlb3450 I remember Peyton Hillis said Bill sought him out to shake his hand and congratulate him on his performance. And Hillis was cool in moment, absolute shellshock when he walked off the field. Bill gets a bad rep as he comes across as a sourpuss but he's a nerd like all of us. Ask him about Bert Jones and you'd swear he morphed into Joe Theismann.
A true football historian
i love how BB interjects at 13:02. Bill knew it was a GO route in a IND@BAL game from X amount of years ago and had to correct them. Breaking down to the smallest details too. Talking about Ed's positioning in the middle of the field, taking 2 steps and then wheels. Not even a Pats game too.
He’s told that story before in another segment about Ed Reed and Troy Polomula, as the two best safeties in the 2000s. He really, really likes watching Ed Reed play football.
When Bill corrects Cris that it was a GO route the look on Ed Reed's face is priceless
Find someone who loves you the way Bill loves Ed Reed
Bill always said this man was the greatest free safety in history. You have to also remember he studied that play because the pats were supposed to play Baltimore. He always gushed over reed because bill is a defensive minded coach and he had the privilege of playing against the possible GOAT of a position.
I love how happy belichick is to do this series
I know right 😂
Ed Reed was a ball hawk. He could tackle like a linebacker, cover like a cornerback and also block punts!
I love Ed but “tackle like a linebacker” is kind of a stretch Lol
@@545047 look at some of his hits. its not a stretch
@@keithlee4963 yeah i don’t even know why I said that at the time, I was trippin 😂
@@keithlee4963 dang responded 7 months later
A
Awesome stuff, but HOW in the world does Troy Palamalu NOT make the list?
Ravens, Patriots, and Raider fanboys I'll bet lmfao!!! FOH✌🏾😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣
“I didn’t study just players I studied coordinators too” every GOAT has that unique thing that they do that is so different from other guys, the difference between being good and great is truly real
No one:
Bill Belichick when talking about the greatest free safety of all time: you know he can block punts really well
I'm the biggest Raven fan you will ever meet but I have a feeling Bill would have Ed winning about 5 DPOY awards. Tom Brady would have hated all of the attention that Bill would have gave Ed until game day when the defense is giving him all of those extra possessions
@@santinovaughn9336 Bill B loves Ed Reed more than his own kids.
Never seen a player other than Ed Reed get Coach Belichick so weeeettttt lmao
patrick jimenez bro what? Pause.
LT
@@kvngafrica 😂😂😂
I've heard him gush about Lawrence Taylor and some of the old Baltimore Colts players like Unitas.
no charles woodson, brian dawkins, or polamalu?? but seriously no charles woodson??
Polamalu was a safety
@Jackson Chadwick 😂😂 he's a safety really!?😂😂
Koi Matai yeah, secondary.
@Jackson Chadwick was just laughing at magic Slinky saying Troy was a safety 😂
TheMagicSlinky They picked safeties. Safeties and corners are both defensive backs
It's so cool seeing a guy as stoic as Bill Belichick so passionate about these players and their greatness.
LT, Primetime, and Reed were the best defensive players I've ever seen. They can change a game quick
They were AWESOME! But, I feel like people underrate or forget about Rod Woodson. Arguably Top 3 all time at all 3 db positions... But he was quiet and unassuming and he shied away from media coverage. Also, Like Polomalu, He dis his best work on the non-glamorous, blue collar Pittsburgh Steelers teams. The others are more famous, but I feel like Rod Woodson is the best Defensive player I have ever seen in my lifetime.
Yeah but how many have you seen lol
I would take Lott over Reed. Lott was all-pro at every DB position.
I would put Ronnie Lott and Ray Lewis up there too
Don’t forget about Troy and Nigjt Train Lane
The best part of Bill is how he is so joyed talking about the history of the sport he loves. He isn’t the greatest pre or post game interview, but his love of the sport is shown when he talks about the greats and history. Love it.
Sean Taylor would've been on this list no doubt RIP🙏💛
He was an all time great.... he could've played corner and olb.... I never saw a better defensive player... LT was the only guy close. Ran like a gazelle, and obliterated anyone he tackled.... not just Brian Moorman.
I’m an eagles fan. Division rival. And he was amazing. Just amazing
earlyburd78 for real
Sean Taylor was Ed Reed, Troy Polamalu, and Ronnie Lott combined
@@earlyburd78 He wasn't better than LT...stop it. LT put the fear of GOD in entire offenses.
That is Reed out smarting Peyton which is a statement by itself, but that's also him picking off one of the greatest q.b/wr duo of all time. Really is career defining moment!
Larry Wilson played with two broken hands and still got an interception. Wow holy sh!t lol
Jamie Craig dude that’s what I said 😂😂
@@OBENSquad_21 Actually, both of his middle fingers were broke (he says so in an interview,) not his whole hand but still, the guy caught a pass with boxing gloves on lol!
@@tritonogletree2806 Say what you will about those old guys, they were tough as hell.
The thing that I love most about Wilson is that he blitzed from the safety position before it was cool to do so and STILL had over 50 interceptions.
Brian Dawkins not being on this list is criminal. 1 of 6 players to record 25+ interceptions, 25+ Forced Fumbles, and 25+ Sacks. Oh, and he has the 20th most career solo tackles. The only DBs above him are Ronde Barber, Charles Woodson (also a snub in the 20,20,20 club), Lawyer Milloy, Rodney Harrison, and Antoine Winfield.
Talk to em💯 my favorite player ever...the ravens and Steelers win more if you replace troy and ed with dawk...
@@Marcus_shawnnot with Ed lol, Ed is the goat free safety. To be honest, argument is btw those 3. But dawk can be 3rd
@@Marcus_shawn😐
@@Marcus_shawn You are talking crazy?! Respect Ed Reed please
Weapon X was absolutely one of the best DB's of all time. Probably my single favorite player ever just from his passion alone, not to mention his playing skills
Another thing about that Ed Reed interception on Manning at 13:33, right after Manning throws that ball, he immediately knows Ed is gonna pick it, and is running to go make the tackle. Before he catches the ball. Lol
Where my boi Champ Bailey at? 12 Pro Bowls as a DB(record btw), 52 interceptions total(18 of those in a two year span), 4 Interceptions in pro bowl(another record), record for most defended passes 203, was THEE shutdown corner throughout his career for multiple top receiver like Fitzgerald, Harrison, etc). Also has a season in 2006 where he was feared so much that his side was only targeted 35 times that season . He only allowed 4 receptions(man to man, not zone) that season with 21 passes deflected. 10 of them being interceptions! Are you insane? Dude was a monster throughout his entire career which was 15 seasons long and by the way was still at a pro bowl level by year 14.
He was just a couple years short of retirement before the Broncos won a super bowl. Hard getting there with Jay Cutler beforehand...
Taylor Sanders all facts
Champ deserves more respect
He’s the most underrated hall of famer ever in my opinion
J B Woodson and Polamalu are 2 of the most popular and well respected dbs in the history of the game wym
J B how exactly have they been snubbed lmfao
That fact that Bill has that got index in his brain to recall plays from years ago like he was there is insane and is why he is the GOAT of coaching.
So we're gonna act like Troy Polamalu doesn't exist, that's why he's not on here
RIGHT?!?! To not even put his name on the list, what were the voters stoned er sumthin'??
Hes still lined up in the C gap
same with Brian Dawkins
@ Kiolah Same here
Paul Krause, Charles Woodson, Troy P., Jack Tatum.....all got screwed
Plenty of tough omissions - C Woodson, Bailey, Adderly, Barney, Law, Williams, Krause, Polamalu, Dawkins, Easley, Wood, Robinson ...
No krause
Charles “peanut” Tillman
revis
And again the Broncos get screwed
Krause is the biggest omission on this entire 100 list. He's only the all time interception leader
Ed Reed. The smallest & most powerful package of dynamite iv ever seen from my era. I'm convinced that Ed Reed could move mountains with some of his devastating hits.
If Deion, reed and Woodson played on the same team, it’s over
Well the late 90s Redskins had Champ Bailey and Darrel Green. That's pretty good too.
Bo Stephens with that their Defensive line could blitz all they want knowing their secondary would clamp everything
ed reed is the only player in the nfl I said deserved a ring on defense that I grew up watching and when he finally got it I was so happy....but it proves that rings aren't all equal..reed was not the same in 2012-2013 as he was in his prime when he didn't win so while its great he got it done it would of meant more if he won it earlier at his peak when he affected the game more...but he got a ring in college and the nfl and he played like someone who would so thats always nice to see game rewarded...dude was a beast at the U
If Deion, Lott and Green played on the same team, it's over.
I got scared just imagining that
Sports are truly the great unifier. Look at the admiration on Bill’s face when talking about Deion or Ed. Sport breaks all lines of creed, race, background
For real. Bill looks at Ed Reed like he's a superhero! Both guys have studied the game more than just about anybody, and they're both uniquely clever in their own ways. Guys coming from nowhere, coming from everything, everyone has to earn it, and those who have all share that respect
I think you are romanticizing sports in a way that isn’t very accurate.
Unfortunately in a lot of cases what you are describing is completely superficial. I say it is superficial because the feeling doesn’t last and doesn’t go far enough. It only lasts for as long as that player is on your team or it only applies to athletes.
Meanwhile too many folks aren’t interested in increasing the education budget, a living wage, police reform, sentencing reform, bail reform . . . You know the things that would actually make our country live up to the ideas that we espouse in our Constitution and Bill of Rights by ensuring ALL Americans are being treated fairly.
When the Williams sisters were baby GOATS they were called the N word by members of the crowd. Tiger Woods was being denied the right to play certain courses. As a pro he had the commentator saying he would want fried chicken for his championship dinner.
And even today with soccer in many parts of the world fans are throwing bananas at Black players.
Just because some White people are willing to give Black athletes their flowers doesn’t make it meaningful. We have quite a ways to go.
@@stephaniezimbalist3757 you clearly never ever played any sports with people outside if your town. Because if it weren't for me going to college to play football I would be a bigot. Because everyone I knew and everyone I was exposed to told me lies about black people. You make great points. But when it comes to sports you should just not say anything. Because you don't know what you're talking about.
@@stephaniezimbalist3757 You are not entitled to other people's money or labor. The government is not the solution to people's problems, they are the cause of it.
Deion literally moves seemlessly in a way no other person can. It's always been breath taking how he just gets through cracks and angles no one else can.
Deion speaking on Mel Blount: “You were a Corner?!”
When Deion is in awe of a Cornerback, that’s saying something.
Its disgusting that dawkins and polumalu both arent on here
swing mill Polumalu he’s close but idk man
EXACTLY ON BOTH OF 'EM!!!
It’s a spit in the face
swing mill Dawkins for sure should be on every top ten list. This is coming from a Cowboys fan.
What about Paul Krause. If I'm not mistaken he is the all time interception leader
I didn’t realize how much I love football til I watched this
You watch these guys & you realize the "dumb athlete" stereotype is pure b.s. To study your opposition, remember your plays & the formations of opponents takes high intellect & to master it the way many hall of famers have takes a genius
If an athlete like Deion says it you know it’s true
It does. It’s crazy.
This is what it takes to be professional caliber for football with respect to the passing game. Raw talent alone just doesn't cut it. This isn't isolation basketball.
Just the mindset and ability to grind like that diet, travel, train, study film and get crushed on the field is insane
Prime Revis Island was the closest defintion of a true 1 on 1 shutdown corner back since Prime Time Sanders, I can't believe him, Dawkins or at least Polamalu aren't on the list.
Guess you never heard of champ bailey
um52
champ was a great CB! especially on redskins, Lots of pro bowls also. But Revis is the only CB during his time to literally cover and shut down 1 on 1 HOF wrs all game long..most wrs In their prime..like megatron, moss, Andre Johnson, Fitzgerald, ochocinco, Terrell Owens, anquan boldin, Hines ward, Reggie Wayne
um52
Look up Champ’s ‘06 season and compare with Revis’s best. Champ played significantly better, and yes Revis’ season was phenomenal, but that just goes to speak on how great Champ’s was
@@ImGayWhenISayThisBut came back to this to say revis is still the best
@@jazzyje5ter223 No GM is drafting Revis over Bailey. "I guarantee you that!!" - Tim Tebow
The way Bill Belichick geeks out over Ed Reed is pretty epic
Only other person I've heard Bill talk about like that was LT.
Ronnie Lott is the best defensive back in the history of football. All-pro at all four DB positions at that time. Also won eight division titles and four super bowls with the 49ers.
The 1980’s 49ers teams had the best coach, wide receiver, quarterback, and defensive back all at one time. That is incredible.
The Best defensive player ... Lott could have been All-Pro at linebacker, if they had put him there.
Absolutely
Rod Woodson
@@brianwolf6166 not at 205 lbs
Ronnie Lott the most overrated player ever. He couldn't play with the rules Ed Reed played with
When you watch these guys talk football, you realize how much of a craft the game is and how much attention to detail is required to be great. I’m inspired.
Anyone who says Troy is better than Ed is a Steelers fan.
Ed Reed is THE best safety ever. And it's not close
And he's just a way better player. Better punt blocker (though both are great), amazing returner, amazing special teams blocker.
Just amazing at literally everything. And a huge hitter. Something he doesn't get enough credit for
No it's Ronnie Lott. Donnie Shields is the most underrated and disrespected.
Anyone saying Ed reed is better than Lott or Atwater is a ravens fan
ed never made somenof the plays troy has made and vice versa
In my humble opinion, he is the best but it definitely is close between him, Ronnie Lott, and John Lynch. That's just me tho
its crazy how hyped BB gets about Reeds play against Manning
Bill with any other player: 😐🙂
Bill with Ed reed: 👁👄👁
Ed Reed...best ball hawk I ever saw play.
Ed Reed and Deion are my top 2 d backs of all time.
No doubt.
Ronnie Lott and Deion
@@thegoat164 Na Ed

Like I said RONNIE LOTT!
NFL Films Top 10 Safeties of All Time
#1 Ronnie Lott
czcams.com/video/OlGGB_-Wf8U/video.html
@@thegoat164 still taking Ed First.
Woodson was as good as Sanders
Let’s do this: My list:
Safeties:
Ed Reed (Obvious reasons)
Ronnie Lott (Obvious reasons)
Ken Houston (Most pro bowls for any safety and also held the record for most touchdown returns until Devin Hester broke it)
Emlen Tunnell (Second most interceptions all time and the only one to rack up more than 6 interceptions in 10 straight seasons)
Brian Dawkins (I only need to say that Dawkins is the only player in NFL history to have 25 interceptions 25 sacks and 25 forced fumbles. Incredibly versatile and dynamic, taking weapon X over Larry Wilson)
Troy Polamalu (I was debating between Troy, Atwater and Jack Christiansen, but I eventually decided that Troy was too good to keep off the list, the Super Bowls, all pros and DPOY are too much to ignore)
Cornerbacks:
Deion Sanders (obvious reasons)
Night Train Lane (obvious reasons)
Mel Blount (obvious reasons)
Rod Woodson (obvious reasons, could’ve made the safety list too)
Champ Bailey (A prime example of a victim of the evolution of passing, teams feared him, best proof is 2006, he was thrown to 35 times and allowed only 4 receptions and got 10 ints which is only 2 away from the all-time record, taking Champ over Green)
Charles Woodson (When looking through the list, the most surprising snub to me was Charles Woodson. He is 5th all time in picks with 65 and 2nd all time in pick sixes and accumulated 113 tackles in a season at the age of 38, he was a great player all the way to the end and I’m taking him over Mike Haynes.)
Willie Brown: (I nearly replaced Willie with Aeneas Williams, I considered Darrelle Revis as well, but what needs to be remembered about Willie Brown is that he started out in the AFL and he was the only guy who could stop all of those crazy deep passes and deep threats on a consistent basis and kept up being the best in the NFL until Mel Blount came around.)
Overall, I thought the original lists were fine, but definitely had some major snubs. Honourable mentions: Jack Christiansen, Steve Atwater, Darrelle Revis and Aeneas Williams.
Let me know what you think.
I think this list is awesome. But I'd like to add Rodney Harrison simply because he was so underrated (and disliked). His stats compare very favorably to safeties and he's the all time leader in sacks for a defensive back
Kenny Easley. Also, Troy Polamalu.
Darrell green is necessary on this list
@Lil Curt Rodney was intimidating. Nowadays football, the rules would get Rodney, but back when you could be physical with the receivers, he was great.
@@MYFAVORITES5 he was also a key contributor on those early 2000s dynasty New England patriots defenses with tedy bruschi willie McGinnest ty law Richard Seymour and mike vrabel
Love that Ed stuck around for film study. Shows his love for the game. One of my favorite players ever-and I’m a saints fan.
Honorable mention to Larry Wilson and Sam Houston's teammate #37 Pat Fischer. Still one of my favorite Redskins of all time. Even made the NFL's 100 toughest players of all time.
Wilson made the list.
Honorable mention should go to Joey Browner of the Vikings. The guy only played about 7 full seasons and was a 6 time Pro Bowler and managed 37 interceptions in that short a span and also managed 17 fumble recoveries and 5 TDs. Member of the HOF all 80's team.
Him and Kenny Easley were my favorite safeties growing up, and I'm a die-hard Saints fanatic!!
Its great to see Belichick so happy to talk football! You can tell why he's so great, He REALLY loves the sport!
This entire series is a football fans dream, fantastic and amazing stories watched every second of it. Appreciate this while there alive, I’m so glad they got so many greats on one table
Champ Bailey, Ed Reed and Deion Sanders are DBs of my childhood
Apparently not because Ed reed is a safety

@@Xponesupurbutt I know, it said cb before he edited it
It's kinda annoying how many people don't know db mean CORNER AND SAFETY

You pray to have a Safety half as good as him
You play like Ed Reed or you ain’t no safety.
Ed Reed is all you need
Ed Reed and Deion Sanders my 2 all time favorite DBs this is GOOD too me
Greatest defensive back in NFL history Deion Sanders number 21 of Atlanta Falcons from 1989 to 1993 era
No way. Guy tackled like my grandmother. Maybe the best cover corner but definitely not the best all around. Night Train Lane or Mel Blount take that honor. Mike Haynes is definitely top 5 all time as well
Jeremy Thompson greatest safety in NFL history Ronnie Lott from 1981 through 1993 era
@@jefferyrobertson7520 Now that I'll agree with. Have to side with the other guy on Deion (No offense prime time, you helped us win a super bowl) he was pure speed wasn't a good tackler or even very good at reading the offense. Statistically a deserving hall of famer but but best all around defensive back? No way, you're closer with Ronnie Lott, Ed Reed, Night Train, if this were a Madden style draft with everybody that ever played in their prime I would take at least 10 DBs before Deion.

And where is Brian Dawkins
Seriously! How does the all time leader in INTs with 81 not on this list? He doesn't have as many tackles but that is because of the great Minnesota D-line "The Purple People Eaters." They kept him out of the box because they had one of the best defensive fronts of all time. All he did was intercept passes, he needs to be on the list, without him it isn't a real list!
Exactly!

Where is Jack Tatum?
How can you leave out Champ Bailey? He belongs on this list!
I'm sure if they had just ten corners he would be in there. But they wanted a nice round number like 100 so the number of positions got cut.
Zage13 not to mention they included players that no one has ever even heard of on this list
@@PatrickGeorge97 maybe because the team covers ALL eras
That punt return where Ed Reed knocks that guy out, calls him a Fuckboi, combined with Ray Lewis going crazy on the sidelines is pure gold!
The only players in NFL history to be voted to the Pro Bowl in their first 10 seasons in the league were Lawrence Taylor and Mel Renfro, yet the Cowboy's HOF DB is somehow not on this list. It's important to note that Mel was voted to the Pro Bowl at safety AND corner. He also returned kicks, he was the Cowboy's back up running back in his first 2 seasons in the league, and he is the proud owner of 2 Super Bowl rings.
A guy some young guys never saw play was Mike Haynes. Same high school as Andy Reid and Leonardo Dicaprio. Hell of a player.
Can't even imagine Reed being told by most likely his own hero, he's the best at their same respective job. Crazy.
Seeing all this classic make you appreciate being able to watch greatness in person
Love this vid .... so much respect for history. Big ups to those guys .
Ed Reed is the master 💪🏿💪🏿
Every time I think about it, I am more convinced that Rod Wodsoon was the greatest DB of all time. He was nearly as a fast as DG, could cover almost as well as deion, and hit exceptionally hard. Dude was complete.
Rod is THAT DUDE...Everytime someone says Deion, I just tell them to compare the stats.. Most won't like to admit it but Rod is the better football player and DB
@@mikkelharvell1602 Rod was easily the more complete player. Deion was slightly better in coverage though, even before Rod's knee was hurt.
Rod was the better overall defensive player. Deion was slightly better in coverage, and brought an additional dimension with his return game.
Troy POLAMALU 👑
Having Belichick do the show is great!!!!
I do agree with comments saying Troy should be in this list too... Definitely was a game changer
Charles Woodson.
Ed Reed looks so old, I remember watching him and Ray destroying EVERYONE!! I can’t believe how long it’s been since he’s played
I remember being at that Monday night game against the Rams. Our seats were in the endzone and Eric Dickerson was running away from us. Watching Green run him down was amazing.
It’s absolutely ludicrous that Troy Polamalu isn’t on here

Awesome video from the greats. No doubt about it. From clean picks to nasty hits.
Can you imagine bring in a room with football greats who see the game the same way..this conversation could go on for years great stuff
9:47 ray Lewis freaking out in the background
Deion Sanders vs Tyreek Hill would have been such a electrifying 1v1 if they played at the same time periods
sanders would have locked him up. Sanders locked Rice up, who is much better then Tyreek Hill
Pretty sure he'd make Tyreek disappear.
Thanks for all the great memories.
This is Great 😊. Bring back so many good memories.
Y’all missing some of the best
Paul Krause
Troy Polumalu
Brian Dawkins
Just mentioning some even Champ Bailey and Sean Taylor should be at least on some memorable mention list
Sean Taylor
Redturtle234XD ! You hit it right on the head
I agree with Krause, but the others, NAHHH!!
Bill belichick has seen all of these players with his own eyes.. he coached Lawrence Taylor.. list legit
$upa Black nah Champ deserves to be on there. Check his accomplishments/records as a DB. Especially that 06 season. The best season ever by a Corner
Ed Reed is the man!!
Super fascinating to hear them discuss layers that most fans aren't even aware of. The Mind Game and chess match that goes on underneath everyplay like between Manning and Ed Reed
...this man had casts on BOTH hands and got a pic
Keep in mind, that was an era of sports where if you could dribble a basketball between your legs and do a layup with your opposite hand you prolly could have been in the nba...

Shadow Owsley if you want to see coach belichek talk about the play there’s a nfl films video about just Ed Reed and Troy Polumolu. Just type in “ Ed reed and Troy Polumolu” on CZcams
Can't believe I forgot about some of these players despite growing up watching them. That Darrell Greens play was something special.
I watched Coach Prime in high school, god he was fun to watch. He brought college eyes to southwest Florida
Thought Champ Bailey would’ve been on this list
“Coordinators Just use the guys like checkers.” I read a piece on bleacher report about Richard Sherman and he said the same thing. Assuming he learned it from prime. But that’s what the greats do-master the mental and their physical gifts do the rest.
Let's you know there are levels to this. Instead of using the talents of what's available and maximizing potential etc coaches want cookie cut options.
Makes you think how'd they even get those jobs in the first place? How they keep them. How they get rehired?
Top notch list, every guy is well deserved.
Huge Hurricanes fan here. I remember that Ed Reed record INT return vs the Browns. I was jumping up n down lol
I could listen to Bill talk about Ed Reed for an hour long.
9:48-9:51 *BOOM*

No whining. Let it be.
Exactly lol. It's called 100 for a reason. Spanning across history.
Wasn’t Lott a corner? Didn’t know he played safety
@@jajohnson8422 He played Free Safety
Ed Reed better than TP facts
Then the NFL shouldn’t have called this list top 100 of all time
This man belichick knows the entire history of football and it’s players
Honestly I think this was probably the hardest set of positions to do cause theres just so much talent. A lot of snubs were done but at the end of the day its hard to say who would be left off the list and put on instead, maybe it would have been better to do this team without the limited number of slots per position but that comes with its own issues.
