[quote=Lotus;565362]I'll never forget the beautiful sight of Grant scoring against Dallas in the playoffs. Take that Danny White![/quote]

I was at the game. Amazing feeling. Butz all the way.

Someone asked which modern day DT you could compare him to, well it's hard to say. Butz wasn't exactly a sack machine or the most dynamic player. He certainly wasn't flamboyant and celebrated following each play like today's prima donnas. But to me his helmet told the story. Until this very day, and I'm sure the NFL probably uses some special coating or seal, but I've never seen a football helmet so scared and battered like Dave Butz' helmet. It was scary.

If I had to name one player that resemble Dave Butz in terms of style though, no one really jumps out to me.

Diron Talbert was the Dancing Bear & when I was about 12 I loved the Over The Hill Gang. But the best D line the Skins ever had was Manley,Mann,Grant & Butz made it all happen. I remember Madden saying that nobody runs on these guys.

...that when a DT walks in with a gigantic waste that's up in the oline's face you get SPRUNG.
Gotta love the sir mix a lot reference!

I am shocked this is even thread worthy. I would think if a poll was done here, Butz would be 80% or so. (of course you are going to have the trollers and idiots voting for others which would reduce Butz's dominance) I just don't see anyone in the same league as Butz, he's the dominant winner.

I couldn't have said it any better. That line was scary and unlike today's front line, opposing QBs and RBs were petrified when playing against Manley, Mann, Grant and Butz.
Maybe we get some respect this year. We'll see.

BUTZ. No brainer from the four. Grant second.
