Turf Smurf Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Popular subject every year... Yes, #27 was Atwater. My vote is the same as in previous years...the hit on Okoye is still #1. Couldn't agree more on the comments about Earl Campbell and especially Dennis Smith. I have never seen another footballer with less regard for his body then Smith. Here's a better bigger link... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5...940452616&q=nfl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqualung Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Wow! We sure are lucky that more players careers haven't been ended by hits like those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAUgrad Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Anyone remember Steve Smith (Denver safety) hitting Largent? Busted face guard, nose and teeth? Wicked as that was, props to Largent - he played the next week. 1281443[/snapback] Forgot about that. As hard as Atwater hit, I think Smith hit harder. So many games were won in the 4th qtr. because Atwater and Smith hit receivers to hard during the game, they started to drop balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy n Dirty Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Never saw that exchange between Largent and the Denver DB before - those two hits happened in the same game? Always liked Largent, now I like him even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harden knocked out Largent with that hit, was fined, and I think busted his teeth, gave him a concusiion. Then the god- fearing family man got payback the very next time they played Denver. He unloaded on Harden - I think Largent later admitted it was the only time he ever wanted to hurt someone intentionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
