John Hammonds Ring of Honor

Reggie was also a lesson learned, for budding would-be GM's.  In 2000, we already had WR's Jerome Pathon and E.G. Green, drafted in 1998 with Peyton.  There was a little head scratching when we drafted Reggie with the 30th pick.  Why are we drafting a WR?  Don't we already have receivers?  And this guy was the "other" receiver out of Miami.  The guy getting all the headlines had already been drafted:  Santana Moss.

We drafted him because he was an improvement on a position where we already had decent players.

Ok, so what's the lesson?  The lesson is the possibility of drafting left tackle Mike McGlinchey when we already have a left tackle in Anthony Castonzo.  AG is not a bad LT.  He's the anchor of our OL.  He's well respected by the stats people.  But if you can improve the position, then improve the position.  a la, Reggie Wayne.

Congratulations, Reggie, on the Ring of Fame!  (Next step, NFL Hall of Fame!)

McGlinchey is better suited at RT than LT in the NFL.

Well everybody was upset when we drafted Edgerrin James instead of Ricky Williams sometimes you just got to trust your leadership.

Great to see #87 get such a landmark honor like this bestowed upon him. Reggie could catch anything.

 

I always enjoy listening to him as an analyst on NFL Network too. Smart, funny, fantastic storyteller too. I'll never forget his story about failing to feed Ed Reed's pet snake that later died either.

A lot of favorite Reggie moments for me... but I think the 'Chuck Strong' game with a rookie QB in Luck, coming back from 21-0 with a spectacular TD to win the game with 35 seconds left, was my favorite overall game from Reginald.

I'm detecting a pattern here. Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne. The ultimate security blanket for elite QBs. 

 

Nice clip CFMC. Thanks for posting it. :thmup:

Definitely worthy of being placed in the ring of honor. In my opinion, 87 was a better player than Marvin Harrison. 

I love Reggie and he deserves Ring of Honor but he isn't better than Marvin. Anyway congrats Reggie. 2 Reggie games stand out to me, the game winning catch vs the Pats in 2009 with seconds left - I was at that game, and the comeback vs GB in 2012.

      2024 NFL Season -- Week #4 All Around the NFL game discussion

      By Patrick Miller · Posted

      My main concerns with Richardson are his accuracy problems and his injury history. His big play ability relies on his legs a lot which in turn leaves him open to getting hurt. If he doesn’t use his legs as much then he needs to get a lot more accurate. Hopefully he’s able to make it through the entire season.

      Colts Jaguars Predictions

      By chad72 · Posted

      What I need to do is stop watching. I have a superstition, bear with me, transcends sports.   Chiefs' Eagles SB, I was so tense because I was rooting for Mahomes, so I stopped watching at half time when the Eagles were leading 24-14, the rest is history. 2022 AFCCG, Sneed goes down within the first few plays, their star CB vs the Bengals with Burrow boasting a 3-0 record vs Mahomes. It did not bode well for the Chiefs, so I stopped watching. Learned they won by a FG.   Chiefs' 49ers SB, I stopped watching when the 49ers went up 10-0, once I knew the result, I watched highlights.   I love Novak Djokovic, he was down a break and a set versus Carlos Alcaraz in Cincinnati. I stopped watching, he came back, won that set in a tie break and then won the whole match. 2018 Wimbledon semis vs Nadal, he goes down 1 sets to 2, I stopped watching, Djokovic comes back and wins.   Bengals game versus the Chiefs this year, the Bengals were ahead before that defensive TD happened, Burrow had just thrown a TD on 4th down. Stopped watching. Chiefs win by 1.    Yesterday, Flacco barely gets out of the pocket to avoid intentional grounding, Steelers were down 10-17, they were making a comeback. I stopped watching. The Colts won. If I have a favorite in the game, I have to stop cheering for them at some point and stop watching, that is my superstition.    I know what I need to do for the Jaguars game, let us hope it works.

      Do you see any progress with Richardson?

      By Mitch Connors · Posted

      Anyone else watch the Titans game at all yesterday? The same thing happened: young QB gets injured and comes out of the game. They get checked, cleared, warm up on the sidelines ready to come back in but they don't put Levis in again because Rudolph looked better. I'm sure the Titans will say we we're cautious, wasnt worth the risk to put Levis back in, etc, etc.    There is a second option here: Flacco is just better than AR right now and he gave the Colts a better chance to win Sunday.    *I'm not saying AR wont be better in the long run but Flacco looked great so lets not turn this into that conversation please.

      Don't know if it will make any impact on AR but the post game interview with Flacco, he said "its just football". Don't over think things, find the open guy and get him the ball. Maybe the "just spin it" analogy for AR is what he needs.
