Rank Best Cane DTs Ever

[Pimp Tight]

cortez wins on name alone. what an awesome ****ing name

Cortez is the best pure DT. The Technique didn't matter.

For the rest, with the exception of Wilfork, technique mattered.

End of story.

Think before you respond...... LMAO

Ask yourself: What techniques/schemes would Sapp not excel at or struggle with?

Whatever you come up with, the answer is NONE for Cortez.

Vote this way as well.

The top 5, I have seen play in person:

1. Brown
2. Sapp
3. Maryland
4. Kennedy
5. Wilfork

Can't really argue. I think 2, 3, and 4 can be interchangeable.

You're not telling me what Sapp couldn't do. What was Sapp's deficiency as a DT?

 

[Notsince1985]

Strictly on the field....Warren Sapp! Everyone else is fighting for second.

Jerome Brown was better than Sapp

Let me make it really really simple for you. Sapp was not a 3-4 DT

[TD="colspan: 3"] DEFENSIVE TACKLES [/TD]

Jerome Brown was a badass **** and Wilfork has been an animal in the nfl, but I've never seen anyone dominate a college game like Warren Sapp. Maryland clearly also in the conversation.

I guess I'd say Warren, then the other 3 tied for 2nd.

That list seems way incomplete. Were Don Smith, Eddie Edwards, Don Latimer DTs or DEs at UM? What about Jim Burt, Rubin Carter, or Dan Conners? Conners ended up a LB for the Raiders, but was a tackle at UM. Burt and Carter were NTs in the pros. Don't remember if they NTs or DTs at UM. The guys I've mentioned were light-years better than a lot of the guys on that list.

This subject really hits home for me. As great as Sapp was to me it's Jerome Brown and then everyone else. Jerome was a once a lifetime player and leader. I don't think I can find adequate words to articulate just how special he was.

If not for his tragic death, I firmly believe he would have gone down as the best to ever play the position. Jerome is my favorite Cane of all time. As an Eagles fan you can imagine how amazing it was for me when Philadelphia drafted Jerome. Those defensive lines the Eagles had with Jerome and Reggie White are to this day the best I have ever seen.

There are so many great Jerome Brown anecdotes I wouldn't know where to begin. Simply put Jerome Brown was the personification and the very essence of what we all refer to as Hurricane swagger. There will never be another Jerome Brown. RIP

Stop living in the past. Stand up, read, and react.

Actually, that's what we were doing when Jerome first arrived at UM.

Brown
Sapp
Kennedy

Warren Sapp was the best. He almost single-handedly won the 1995 Orange Bowl game against Nebraska.

Actually ---- in the 4th quarter Nebraska ran it down his throat --- the UM Dline was so beaten up - gave up over 200 yards rushing that game

this would be how i rank 'em. Jerome was the best. IMO

Jerome Brown the baddest D linemen we ever had
