Renato Brown commits

The mid/late 80's leading up to the early 90's were football's greatest era. That can't be debated.

First, that was the Jimmy Johnson / Dennis Erickson era in which the Canes fielded the most dominant teams in the history of college football.

Second, that was when Cunningham electrified the league and Moon and Marino were breaking records. It was when Elway was leading 4th quarter comebacks with a big *** "D" on his helmet.... Barry Sanders was juking dudes out while Payton, Bo Jackson, and Marcus Allen were flat out dominating. That was when LT (the original LT) was making quarterbacks blow snot bubbles, and Ronnie Lott was making running crossing routes a work hazard. It was the era of Deon and Darrell Green, And of course, that was the era when Montana was throwing perfect touchdown passes to Rice.

That was the Bears under Ditka, the Giants under Parcelles, and the 49ers under Walsh. It was the Houston Oilers and the LA Raiders.

Best era, period.

I take it you're from Houston? The Oilers are the red headed step child of this post. The Bungles are probably a better fit. Both garbage organizations.

Go Canes!

The oilers weee really good around that time ,one of the most exciting teams to watch back then. Actually the Bengals were really good then too. Had a couple Super Bowls ripped from their grasps multiple times.

The Bills dominated the AFC back then. You're talking about these teams that were battling for 2nd place in the AFC and not mentioning the clear #1 . I didn't even like the Bills and I feel that needs to be said. Also, let's not forget ****erson, as long as we're talking late 80s. He was a beast.

The oilers were just exciting to watch, I think that was the point of the poster who mentioned them. That offense with Moon running the show was a thing of beauty.

It's sad moon came along at the time he did, being black pretty much meant you were moved to wr or db. He'd probably own all of the records if not for having to go to the cfl.

They also gave the Bills fits when they played , the Oilers were one of the few afc teams that had the firepower to go toe toe with Buffalo.

Yes, exactly. And for some reason, nobody ever remembers Warren Moon for blazing the trails he did - but to my mind he was the first truly great black pocket passer in the NFL that I can remember. He wasn't the first black QB, but he was the first who really got respect for making it happen in the pocket. And he was a **** field general too. I think he led the league in passer rating, yards, TD's, and pretty much everything in 1990.

It's too bad Moon dislocated his thumb right before the playoffs that season, or I think the Oilers could have made a run to the AFC championship.

I always thought it was Cortez Kennedy, but Russell Maryland is the only Hurricane to win the Outland trophy besides Bryant McKinnie.

I'd go with Jerome Brown. We've got a fantastic legacy of great DTs (we do at about every position!!!).

Hopefully it continues and you've got to think chances are good with Coach Kul in charge.

It's pretty crazy that Jerome Brown played on the same line as Reggie White in the NFL. And they had Randall Cunningham at QB. That team should have won a lot more games.

First off Jerome is the goat Dl I ever saw at UM.

As for the Eagles then , Cunningham had accuracy issues. He was always looking to run first, after some injuries he focused on accuracy. And became a really good passer.

We also didn't have much talent at rb , wr and the ol wasn't too hot. The best wr's were Byars and Keith Jackson , neither were wr's lol.

The offense really wasted an elite defense , one of the best of all time. That side of the ball was loaded.

People forget what an athletic freak of nature Cunningham was. It was natural to expect him to run cause he was still so early on in learning the position. People for the most part give Vick credit for revolutionizing the qb position but besides like fran tarkenton or earl morral it was Randall who did that. Let me put this in perspective for you. When Randall was in college he was a two time all American but he never even played qb. In college he was a punter... an arm like that & he was punting...

This play is my best memory of Randall Cunningham and what a freak he was. Just the athletic ability, the escapability, the sense of awareness of what's going on around him and the playmaking ability is unreal.

I believe he held the record for NCAA longest punt at one time,or some punting record. He punted for philly a few times too.

The sad thing about Randall is he never got to play in a legit system with a legit play caller / oc. Which held his growth at the position back.

Monday night football against the Giants will always stick out. Dude was a freak like we've never seen.

That tall and long with a rocket arm. Then mix in top shelf speed.

He was literally Randy Moss playing qb. RC was the reason a guy from north Florida became a life long eagles fan.

My best memorie of him was against washington. Threw it 80 yards from **** near a knee.

[MENTION=1292]jdmorgan76[/MENTION]: I hate the NFC East w a passion, but can't dispute what you said. You have the Cowboys w 5 rings, the Giants w 4 rings, and the Redskins w 3 rings plus a combined 20 NFC Championship crowns. No division comes close to that sustained success...but still hate the East. Lol

[MENTION=15255]Meat[/MENTION]: spot on. 80/90's football brought skill w toughness and parity. Yes, the AFC was a sacrificial lamb during that era, but the iconic names and teams all came together in that era of football. Funny how the same can be said of the NBA as well. Just a great era for sports.

[MENTION=5224]Samson Doyo[/MENTION]: If Houston defense could actually defend, they could've won a title or play in a SB, at least. That Run-and-shoot offense was revolutionary; problem is, it wore out your defense, too. In Houston's case, that had absolutely none. Houston, in the 80's, reminded me of the Chargers; potent offenses, and impotent defenses. But Houston was really fun to watch.

[MENTION=2343]Cribby[/MENTION] [MENTION=7577]d--1[/MENTION]: I don't think we'll ever see a team go to 4 str8 SBs in a row. Christie caused JK and Buffalo a ring in 91. One of the best kickers, at that time, and flat out missed a rather easy fg. Smh. Then Dallas did them in, back to back. Sad times, but a remarkable accomplishment we most likely won't witness again.

I never made fun of those Bills teams , which was the cool thing to do back then. I remember the joke " Bills stands for boy I love losing Super Bowls".

I was a huge Eagles fan but I took on the Bills as step team, I just wanted them to finally get a SB. That accomplishment of four straight is insane , even if the afc was down then. Those Buffalo teams had crazy heart , and were a bunch of good dudes. I just wanted them to break through.

The Giants Super Bowl was the one they should've won, they were the best team in the league that year , and it wasn't close. Parcels / Belichik had an unreal game plan that day. But that was the one that slipped through their fingers.

49ers were best team in league IMO. Giants got lucky twice...

Parcels and Belicheck never lost to the 49ers in the playoffs after 1984...

Though the 49ers were unreal...

NFC East was just brutal back then though, a real physical challenge to survive...

He was playing OT like a DT. Wasn't really trying to block the kid, just bully him.
