Not to mention Bruce Smith made LT look like a fkin Puppy Dog. And who the hell cares about "Demon" Deacon Jones? He cheated to get his sacks...whether or not the rules were in place at the time he played: Had Bruce Smith been allowed to bitch slap the guy he lined up against on every play he woulda had 300 sacks!
@Coolquip43 Yea and Bruce Smith only played 47 more games than Reggie White and has 2 more sacks than him whooptie freakin doo! Reggie White was better!!
Bruce was definately number 1. stats do not lie and he ended Boomers and Montanas football careers....history doesnt lie either...LOL...Brruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce
I grew up watching bruuuuuuuuuce......unfortunately, like all kids, you dont realize how special it is at the time. i even shook bruces hand on two seperate occasions just around buffalo, he was the nicest guy and his hands were BIG....ah, i wish i could go back to those years
there is a reason he is #1 all time... because he is ridiculousness whether if he is on the top of the list or not he is the leader of ALL TIME and if that doesn't say something well them idk what does.
Bruce Smith played four more years than Reggie White and recorded only two more sacks. And while I would put Bruce Smith ahead of LT, I would say that they figured LT had to play pass coverage as well. And Deacon Jones supposedly would have had over 200 sacks had they been an official statistic back then. But still, these four players are probably interchangeable at the top.
Jamie Dukes thinks Reggie is better because he's a fellow fat man. Fatty can't admit that a guy who isn't heavy can be stronger than some beefed up muscleless fat dude.
I will concede that Reggie White was a better overall defensive lineman. But Bruce Smith was a better pass rusher, and therefore should be #1 on this list.
Put Bruce in a 4-3 defense playing alongside Jerome Brown (for a short time) and Clyde Simmons like White had the luxury of, and he would have finished with 275 career sacks. He was quicker off the line than White with better pass rushing technique. But he played the first half of his career alongside guys like Leon Seals and Mike Wright.
I disagree with that Bob Trumpy guy. I think Bruce Smith was better that Reggie White as a pass rusher because Reggie was in a 4-3 all of his career, while Bruce was in a 3-4 a majority of his. D-Ends in a 3-4 are generally not pass rushers. There are exceptions(Howie Long & Lyle Alzado for example), but as a rule the pass rushers in a 3-4 are OLBs.
He was a rare player with natural strength, explosiveness, & athletic ability. He had explosive 1st step, tremendous acceleration to QB, & agility. He was so fluid it seemed like he could change direction in mid-air. He showed variety of moves & counter moves. When he bull-finished off up field charge, he would get underneath blockers & do whatever he wanted with them. He was phenomenal athlete who could chase & run play down from backside, though was not truly great against the run at point.
@Fnoel98356 Ya good point but bruce had a lot of freedom to play the pass than most 3-4 DEs, he also had guys like phil hansen and cornelious bennet to help draw double teams off him
I second that - In fact, defensive linemen in many 3-4 schemes (ie the 34 zone-blitz scheme) are typically asked to simply asked to tie-up opposing blockers
@Fnoel98356 agree, just look at the struggle Warren Sapp had moving from the 4-3 Undertackle in the Bucs to the 3-4 Defensive end, a 3-4 DE has a lot to overcome to get a sack, they are basically looking for double team all day to free up lanes for the LBs to rush in
I agree with you. White was better overall, but Smith was better as a pass rusher. Also, Smith had no help on the D-line; White had the benefit of guys like Jerome Brown and Clyde Simmons taking blockers from him.
@alfarabi73 Smith really wasn't in a typical 3-4 though. When people think of a 3-4 defense, they think of one 350 pound nose tackle and two 300 pound defensive tackles playing the defensive end positions. Smith was on that team to be a pass rusher. Buffalo blitzed linebackers to the middle of the offensive line instead of the outside. This allowed the defensive ends to be one on one with offensive tackles on the outside.
His last 3 seasons were with the Redskins, and as an older player he was STILL a tough, tough guy for the other team to block.

Its a real shame we can't see good defense anymore because it basically illegal.
You can't hit the QB, high, low, too hard, two guys at a time, after an int or a fumble. Unless its a running QB.
This is turning to the nba where superstars get calls but non-superstars don't.

Bruce could do it all and he played at the same speed every play all game!
No one got held more than Smith! If they actually through flags every time he was held,games would have lasted over 2 hr.s in duration.
Id like to see his career stats on how many times O-Lineman were penalized for holding him.
