    Great OT.

    This stat, via Adam Schefter, is astounding, just astounding:

    That's getting beat, rounding up, .006% of the time, or conversely, a .994% success rate (excluding giving up "hurries" of course).

    Wow.

    I suspect, if he had played in a big market on a consistently winning team, he'd be revered much more than he has been by fans.

    I know it's not Dolphins related - but just thought it was too good to pass up - if it needs to be moved fine. But, very impressive (posted in the public forum also).

    Great OT.

    IMO...a first ballot HOFer and the Best LT I have ever seen.

    (I saw Anthony Munoz play)

    Totally agree he's a HOFER. Hes on par with Munoz as one of the premier LT's I have have ever seen.

    I am glad ESPN could have given him a snippet of time. Top 5 lineman of all time.

    seattle is one of the worst franchises for viewership or being in the public eye. not too many OL get #s retired so that says a lot.
