First time I've watched the NFL Network for 2 hours straight and it didn't involve a live game, for many years. First Top 10 Patriots and then Rodney A football life.
I loved Rodney, one of the all time great Patriots. What a player, what a leader. We haven't had a great safety like him in years, McCourtey is very talented, but Rodney was the full package. A deadly hitter, intimidating really. Great at creating turnovers, only 2 members of the 30 Int-30 Sack Club, him and Ray Lewis. And such a great leader. We had so many great leaders on those teams from 2001-2004. That defense was so damned good with so many great leaders, who were vocal.
Bruschi, McGinnest, Harrison, Law, Malloy before he was cut, Phifer, just so many leaders who were very vocal leaders and lead by example as well. Harrison was one of the best. I loved his version of A Football Life. Makes me miss what we had in him back then. Was really hoping Merriweather was the next Rodney, and then Chung, but Rodney was a very rare beast.
