Would ya'll agree it's harder to play DB under today's rule set than days gone by?

I would say much harder today.

One needs a thick skin and a short memory to play DB. You lose a lot more than you win. The current DB's job is to slow down- not shut down- the opposing receiver. Many (most) DBs now can't even do that.

Not enough people talk about how good DW was. Ed Reed 1a, DW 1b

The safety position at UM has so many guys that I think are overlooked by UM fans because of Ed Reed and Sean Taylor. Bubba McDowell, Charles Pharms, Darryl Williams, Hurlie Brown, Bennie Blades (he's not really overlooked, but I don't know why UM fans don't put him in the conversation for best UM safety ever), etc...

That’s true but imo and from what I’ve seen while alive, the top 4 are clear cut - ER, ST, BB, DW.

The criteria can be College or Pro's.
I personally went with both to make my choice.

For me, it's Duane Starks.

Mostly, based on what he did in the NFL. Being apart of the greatest Defense in NFL history, the 2000 Ravens Defense, he had one of the best & most underrated seasons for a CB ever.
- 49tks 23PD's & 6INT'S
which culminated in one of the most fitting moments of his career, the Pick 6 in Superbowl XXXV.

Something he had done in college as well...

He gets overlooked for the impact he had on that (Ravens Defense), because of guys like Ray Lewis, Rod Woodson, Samuel Adams, Tony Siragusa etc, but he was a major contributor & catalyst to why the Ravens 00 Defense was so dominant. He & Chris McAlister were absolute Lockdown Cover Corners.

Due to the totality of his career, he's #1 IMO.


There's also a really good arguments to be made for Ryan McNeil & Roland Smith, if you're just going by what they did at Miami.

But what say you?

Brandon Harris was solid. Honestly the crown jewel of 08 class.
