Re: Lewis the Key?
There will never be another Dion but even he would've struggled covering receivers with our raggedy ass front seven. If we had Dion in his prime last year he probably would've had to play zone knowing the great Spags.

Re: Lewis the Key?
I can sympathize with him. Tackling hurts, and corners shouldn't be depended on to do it that often; but he averaged around the amount of tackles a year you want a corner to. Like he always said, find the highlight reel of him missing tackles. And are you saying Dieon was all hype????!!!!!

Re: Lewis the Key?
Hahaha! No way I'm watching a bunch of whiners, clowns n cow pies games to prove a point on the internet. How the hell did he come into this thread anyway? Next we'll be puttin' him and T***w in the same backfield knowing neither one's gonna be the key to our defense.

Re: Lewis the Key?
Deon would have been a different player today, there are different rules.

Re: Lewis the Key?
Deion Sanders is a douche
Nowadays teams would just run at him all day because he was too much of a wimp to make a tackle |

And yeah I can sympathize with pain. My body is messes up from football without going pro. You aren't playing. You're spectating and trying to take credit away from the best players ever.

Re: Lewis the Key?
find the proof. Better yet, tell me why they didn't do it back when he played? It wasn't a passing league as much as it is now. That argument makes no sense.
