    In Haloti's defense, and I'm not debating here, because there isn't one to be had, but it's not at all a fair comparison. Haloti was a 0 tech 2 gap 3-4 NT most downs. How many modern NFL HoFers are there at that position? Wilfork? Ted Washington? Stan was a wrecking ball who shot gaps and ran TE stunts, and he was a way better college football player, but Haloti was a better Virta Via.



    I like defensive linemen who do both. This guy could stuff and hold the middle and get after the QB like a bitch. Better than store-bought donuts and Mormon Polys IMO.

    At the 1:14 mark, All-Time Husky great Warren Moon says Stan Empterman couldn't hold Kennedy's jock, and Oregon's LDS Poly can't do his laundry. Doesn't get more definitive than that.

    Some things to consider:

    NFL Defensive Player of the Year (1992) (on a 2 win team)
    3× First-team All-Pro (1992–1994)
    2× Second-team All-Pro (1991, 1996)
    8× Pro Bowl (1991–1996, 1998, 1999)
    NFL 1990s All-Decade Team
    PFWA All-Rookie Team (1990)
    Seattle Seahawks Ring of Honor
    Seattle Seahawks No. 96 retired
    2× National champion (1987, 1989)
    Consensus All-American (1989)
    Pro FB Hall of Fame
    I saw him dunk a basketball

    I don't recall where he played in college, but I don't think it was the Pac 10. Word is he wanted to be a Husky but didn't have the grades and was afraid of the competition.

    I know Wiki says he won a natty in 87 but he was at Northwest MS CC in 87 (#MyRangers). Unless Northwest won a CC natty then Tez only had one natty ring.
    If it's on Wiki, it's real.



    Besides, Miami was the best team in the country in 1988 too, so I'm going to pull an old Husky trick and call 1988 a Natty. No, Cleveland Gary didn't fumble. Christ.

    So by the authority of Wiki and the power vested in my, I'm saying 3 ringz now.
    Fun Fact: Micheal Irvin wanted to be a Husky
    He wanted to, but Don James wanted wide receivers with actual talent.

    Don't further confuse the confused one with facts. Thank you very much.

    You are wandering back to old form. Like when you used to take things that are ostensibly meant as foolish banter personally and seriously. It’s almost as if you think I’m talking about you. I’ve always thought that was weird.

    There are many things that can said of me. Confused about anything that is clear to you is not one of them. Rest easy. I know Paul Skansi was a good receiver. I was around when he played.

    Emtman vs Ngata isn’t even a conversation college speaking. Emptman was conference defensive player of the year as a sophomore. Ngata was second team all conference.

    If you call Suggs a dlineman that’s a convo.

    Great call. Suggs was a terror
