Default Was A.T.'s sack the best in Patriots history?

The only other one i can think of to compare it to was when Andre Tippett nailed Ken O'Brien so hard that O'Brien went to the sideline phone and was heard trying to order a pizza.

I thought it was the best I'd ever seen.

How many Patriots does it take to tackle a Hall of Fame QB and the running back that is blocking for him?

Vrabel's tomahawk chop on Jake Dellhome in SB 38 was pretty good.

It was a great sack and one of the Pats best ever although our old boy McGinest had his share of great hits as well

I don't care, of course, but maybe I can help the discussion with my own perspective. The blocking assignment on that sack makes me want to punch Eric Schottenheimer in his scrawny little face, but if it helps your voting, that might be one of the first times I've seen a sack at the five minute mark essentially end the game. 20-yard loss. Clock runs. Ball marked at the 5 yard line. The only thing I could do on that play is curse the Jets coaches for putting Leon Washington on Adalius Thomas and yell about how the whistle should have blown when Favre was in the grasp at the 15.

I can't ever remember laughing so hard at any other sack in Patriots, if that's the question.

In terms of pure aesthetic quality, I'd have to put it right at the top. In terms of overall importance, I think it's up there... I'd say the most important sack is a tie between two Willie jobs... (1) Super Bowl XXXVI, sacking Warner on the second to last drive, atoning for his hold on Marshall Faulk that negated Tebucky Jones' fumble recovery and (2) 2004 Home Opener vs. Indy, sacking Peyton Manning, pushing Vandershank out of range, helping propel the Pats to a two seed, and getting Indy at home after a bye week in the Divisional Round...
