When Steve Atwater hit Christian Okoye

Atwater not in the HOF has been a joke for years.

the Hall is very stubborn, Kenny Houston and Atwater should be in. Reed and Troy are locks, but you basically have to be top 5 at the position to even get considered

Houston is in Hall of Famers » KEN HOUSTON

maybe Ken Riley?

meant Kenny Easley from the 80s Seahawks, albeit his career was short

dont think Jack Tatum is in either

Atwater was the first Safety I remember with the size of LB....

like you said longevity hurts Easley but he was a beast





Tatum is too controversial

@3.9 ypc Bettis being in and not Atwater.

Stop. Atwater was way more recognizable and notorious as a hard hitter than Chuck Cecil and for a longer period of time. It's not even close. Only Ronnie Lott's name rang out more.

Really? Did Atwater have a cover story in sports illustrated

This is the hit that landed him on the cover of sports illustrated and has been hard to find over the years because NFL films banned it. Even in this video its just a slow motion replay. If you saw this hit live it was He got fined $30,000 for this hit, which would be a lot for today but this was in 1993.


And that cac was crazy

Man, Christian Okoye was a fukkin legend, B.

Pick the Chiefs in Tecmo Bowl and it was a wrap.

This Atwater shyt reminded me of Ricky Watters.

Breh is still 22nd in All-time rushing yards.

It's the safety position has a whole. This article puts it into perspective.

Troy Polamalu's retirement spotlights Hall of Fame's lack of safeties | The MMQB with Peter King

Put another damning way: No safety who has played in an NFL game in the past 35 seasons is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

 

[Barry Sanders]

Atwater a legend.

Atwater singal handily lowered Okoye tecmo bowl rating.
