broncos_fan _from _uk Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Finally!! I know it was almost a given at this point since the senior committee nominated him and they rarely fail to make it, but I figured they would still find a way to screw him over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutler06 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 About time, Randy was a wrecking crew yet humble as pie. He dissected offenses while leading one of the BEST defenses of the 70’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBruin Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) Denver was the most underrepresented team by the Hall of Fame for such a long time. Now it’s finally filling out with Broncos. Still some work to do but they have come a long way, feels like we’ve gotten one most years recently. Hopefully Wright, Mecklenburg and Nalen get in at some point.

I've heard the complaint that he didn't get enough INT's. Pretty simple actually. Nobody threw his way. Louis was an absolute monster CB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKRNA Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I'm not sure why but I was thinking about the old "Orange Crush" today. Randy was really fun to watch. An amazing football player and in short yardage situations the best I've ever seen. He was just uncanny in his ability to know where the ball carrier would be. I'm not sure what the success rate was but facing a 1st and goal from inside the 5 it seemed we usually got a stop, forced a FG, fumble or TO on downs. It was almost routine. Without missing a step Randy would push an OL guy out of the hole and deliver an absolute "slobber knocker" on the ball carrier. Then, sitting on his ***, legs in front of him he'd reach up and grab his facemask to screw his helmet back where it should be. Get up, walk back to the huddle and do it again. My it was fun watching him. I could care less what his 40 time was but I've never seen another LB with the initial burst he had. 0-100 in .5 seconds. Anyway, sorry most of you missed him. He was really something. jack Lambert wasn't in his class, he just had the best DL in the league in front of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
