I knew he was off side. Yea ur right Deacon u did copy hes cheating style and to the people who says this guy and Deacon would rule the NFL today do not know football. U forget the most important thing Offensive linemen couldnt use there hands when they pass block. So all the toss linemen down wouldnt have not happen so much if the linemen could have used there hands.
@hailhopes This two guys played in a much tougher NFL, much more brute and all about pure strength. Reggie white back in the 80s and 90s threw guys around just like Gino and Deacon did. Your argument is invalid.
Do you not see the clip at 1:33 where he takes an OT and slings him to the ground like he was shaking a chihuahua off his leg? With all respect, if he had today's training regimen, supplements, etc., he would still be dominant. The guy revolutionized the DE position. He was the first defensive player that offenses had to account for on passing plays.
@Reclaimer77 With Marchetti's strength and maneuverability he'd be a linebacker and he'd still have the sacks. It's that determination and will I'd want on the team. Size only gets you so far.
@jerichotpkbandit cant even say that considering todays athletes are more athletic not then then. i mean maruce jones drew can bench press 400 pounds, this guy looks like he can do about half that
@jerichotpkbandit not true. the NFL is a different game today. now the offensive lines are beefed up with bigger, faster, and stronger freaks of nature. even with modern strength training, i bet Marchetti would have reached his peak before a lot of the modern players. the talent these days is unmatched. there were no vernon davis' or mario williams' back in that era.
Gino Marchetti is my grandfather. Im Conner Marchetti. VP of Ginos, No lie ask me anything I can answer anything.

Give him 12 seasons in today's 16 game, pass happy NFL, and Gino would have had 240 sacks.

@jerichotpkbandit
At his size and build? Sorry but "today" Gina Marchetti wouldn't even make the cut on a team.
See back then a flabby uncut guy like that could make a name for himself out of sheer determination and will.

@Reclaimer77 : True, but today he will be bigger, with all the nutrition stuffs and the advances in training....

I wasnt implying that he was better than deacon. on the contrary, I think deacon was better, but marchetti was way up there.

question for people. marchetti or atkins?
footballjava32 2 years ago
I would have Gino Marchetti at #4 behind Deacon Jones, Doug Atkins & Reggie White.

deacon copied marchetti's style. i think that says enough about marchetti's greatness.
footballjava32 2 years ago 22
that doesnt necessarily mean marchetti is better.
But it does mean that marchetti was a revolutionary for the position

I saw Gino play many times between 1957 - 1962. My all time favorite.
