Jacoby used to battle one on one with Lawrence Taylor, Reggie White and Ed too Tall Jones twice a year.
I am not sure there is anyone in the NFC east right now that is as good as Lawrence Taylor and Reggie White.
When both are healthy TW is maybe a little better than Jacoby, but TW has had some knee problems that have made him miss some time and makes him susceptible to injury. Jacoby did not.
It is very close.

Glad you mentioned this. Jacoby was just so far ahead of his time. He's a HOF player, Trent I'm not so sure. I think Trent gets hurt cause he plays on so so teams. On top of that the quality of the defenses that Jacoby played against were 2nd to none. People may not remember but the Eagles literally had some of the best defenses ever back in those days. Truly great defenses. We all know about the Giants cause they won a couple SB's.
