The crazy thing, in relation to this subject, I never thought of Reggie as a black punter. I’ve been a Dolphins fan since 1970 and I only thought about him as the Dolphins punter. Funny thinking about that now with everything so race first. Btw, the Dolphins have a white corner. He comes up from practice squad if needed.

      @QwertyCaesar 6 місяців тому +8

      Cooper Dejean is a first round talent who may only fall out of the first round due to a recent injury. He actually comps very well to Jason Sehorn in some ways - very ballhawkish, electric when he gets the ball in his hands whether as a defender or kick returner, underperforms at corner relative to his athleticism, not making many defensive plays with it like spectacular leaps to swat the ball but he's still a great coverage corner by just being very technically sound. He's the #1 defensive player in the class IMO and I think he'll be a pro bowl caliber player wherever he goes.

    Jason Sehorn was one of those special guys who is an electric playmaker whenever they get the ball in their hands. He was like Deion Sanders if you brought him down a tier. That's why the Giants put Sehorn in as a punt returner where he unfortunately got the injury that sapped his excellence, during a preseason game no less. Never put your starters in to return kicks and punts. The league would be much better with more guys like Sehorn playing today.

    Howie Long would move inside to DT whenever the Raiders played a 4-3 defense, but a 3-4 DE like JJ Watt. I remember Tony Siragusa being a low key important piece on that 2000 Ravens defense, plugging up the middle at NT. Dermontti Dawson was a Hall of Famer for the Steelers at C, and even within the last 15 years, there was Maurkice Pouncey. I have never in my lifetime seen a full-time Black placekicker.

      I'd argue that after Ray Lewis, Siragusa and Sam Adams were the most important pieces on that Ravens defense. Soooo hard to run the ball with those three in the middle (DT and MLB).

And let's not forget his 6 championships with the Browns.

    I’m white so I probably am a non-factor in this conversation as far as the guy who started it is concerned but it upset me a bit cause I don’t remember ever thinking about race when I played football as a kid for years.

    The differences matter, but it’s because people being different means they have something they can teach those who don’t know their world, but a respectful and decent person deserves the same in kind.

    I had a friend named Sean Blockey he could jump out of the gym naturally. He was white and about 5”11/ maybe 6 ft tall. The coach was so taken back by Sean being athletic and having some swag, he didn’t allow him to play much. The coach loved Steve Alford and he preferred that style of play but he probably cost our team from reaching its full potential because of his style basis. There was several of us that could dunk but we were so worried about the coach being mad 😠 at us we played above the rim but didn’t try many in game dunks.
