Post by: whgates3 on October 30, 2002, 12:29:38 AM: Raubvogel is correct.

Deion deserves a mention but he is too sissy to tackle (actually too greedy - like george foster was afraid of getting injured & shortening his $career$)...
Jack "The Assassin" Tatum actually killed a guy preventing him from catching a pass, but he didn't do it regularly & one good play doesn't make a career...

Post by: Sandman on October 30, 2002, 01:01:30 AM: Tatum didn't kill Daryl Stingley. He paralyzed him.

It was probably one of the cleanest hits of his career. It was just brutally hard.

Post by: funkedup on October 30, 2002, 01:27:50 AM: Means was not a DB.

And Tatum DID clobber people on a regular basis.

Post by: Nash on October 30, 2002, 02:54:30 AM: Hehe yeah Natrone Means aint a DB...

Lance attempted a sort of sideways hyjack in the direction of coolest names... At least that's how I chose to see it. :) And I just aided and abetted. That's one helluvah name.

You wanna DB then you better clarify... Are we talking about before or after Stickum was banned? :D

Did any other DB use stickum like Lester Hayes? FWIW, I think he learned about it from Fred Biletnikoff.

Pat Fischer.

No one has ever played CB or SS or FS with that much heart.

Paul Krause, a 6-3, 200-pound free safety from the University of Iowa, became the leading pass intercepter of all time with 81 steals during a 16-season career with the Washington Redskins and Minnesota Vikings from 1964 to 1979. A two-way star at Iowa, he was the second-round draft pick of the Redskins in 1964. Although he intercepted 28 passes in his first four seasons, he was traded to the Minnesota Vikings for linebacker Marlin McKeever and a seventh-round draft choice in 1968. He went on to excel with the Vikings for 12 more seasons before retiring after the 1979 campaign.

Krause had the kind of a blue-ribbon rookie season in 1964 that few ever achieve. He led the NFL in interceptions with 12 and was named to the All-NFL first team. He was named to his first of eight Pro Bowls and was second only to teammate running back Charley Taylor for NFL Rookie of the Year acclaim. In his second Pro Bowl following the 1965 season, he intercepted two passes. Named All-NFL four different times, Krause was also selected All-Eastern Conference twice, and All-NFC five times.

Born on February 19, 1942, in Flint, Michigan, Paul was the starting free safety in Super Bowls IV, VIII, IX, and XI, in the 1969 NFL championship game and NFC title games in 1973, 1974, 1976 and 1977. He intercepted one pass in Super Bowl IV and recovered a fumble in Super Bowl IX. During his landmark rookie season, Krause intercepted passes in seven straight games and he came near to matching that mark in 1968, when he had steals in six consecutive games. It took a three-interception season in his final 1979 campaign to surpass Emlen Tunnell, who had 79 steals, for the all-time record. He currently ranks third with 1,185 career yards on interception returns. The durable Krause missed only two games with injuries in 16 seasons.
