I’m surprised he didn’t pull out some obscure long snapper as the one exception
I’ve listened to Bill’s ten minute rant on the importance of long snappers multiple times. My man is just a weird football brain that I cannot totally fathom.
“I think comparing players like that, it’s not really — I would just say, I wouldn’t put anybody ahead of Lawrence Taylor, period,” Belichick said. “Now, maybe I’m prejudiced, but I mean, I saw that guy every day for over a decade and he tilted the field for a decade. So, until somebody does that — and there’s a lot of great players and I’m not taking anything away from anybody else, there’s a lot of great players that have been in this league, that are in this league.
“But personally, I’m not putting anybody ahead of Lawrence Taylor. Not yet.”
Full quote, as always Bill manages to be a stand up guy.
