Vea

Swaye

Preseason I said I thought Gaines was just slightly better than Vea because to me, last year, he distorted the pocket a bit more. Um, yeah. Gaines is a fucking beast, but Vea has elevated himself into a different level. The fact that we have 2 of our 5 best DL of the last 30 years on the same field, in their prime, at the same time, is so fucking bad ass I'll be hard the rest of the year.

1) Empterman
2) Vea
3) Triplett
4) Shelton
5) Gaines

That's my list. Go back another 5 years and you can add Ron Holmes, but I was a kid so not sure where'd I slot him.

So, here's some tits to celebrate our riches.

Holmes played DE. Very good player but Reggie Rogers is probably more fitting on your list since your list is of interior lineman. Reggie was also a basketball player, he used speed more so than power, kind of like a DE. Very fun to watch, but not nearly as impressive as watching Empterman completely destroy people with a combination of speed and power, taking their manhood from them in the process. That guy was a complete freak. Easily one of the greatest college defensive tackles of all time.

Yeah, I was like 11-12 when Holmes was around, so I have no vivid memories of any of it. All of my vivid memories from that period are alcohol experimentation and my uncles stack of Hustlers.

I’d put Gaines above Shelton. I’d put Holmes #3 on the list above.

The most dominant lineman I remember was Reggie Rodgers. Empterman was more consistent for longer but Reggie Rodgers...Wow just wow

I agree with a lot of this post. But Holmes played more inside, Rogers outside. They were both phenomenal.

Anyway, back to this:

godawgst

Ron Holmes is some where on that list.

Also Greg Gaines is >>>>>>Tripplett.

Very true. However, if I recall correctly Holmes was rostered as a DE, and Reggie a DT. Chinterestingly, both were first team All Americans as Defensive Ends, Holmes in 1984 and Rogers in 1986. Reggie was bigger and faster than Holmes, better outside, but IMO anyway, Holmes was more physical, better inside. Both phenomenal players though, totally agree.

But more importantly, back to this:

Dennis_DeYoung

Vea looks like a fucking tidal wave on every play. People just cannot stop him. He is a fucking mauler.

Way more pure power than any other DL I've ever seen for us.

He's into Ngata/Suh territory. He is just completely abusive and no one can stop him. And he keeps getting better. Boner inducing.

Alexis

Cant believe you forgot to add Mike Lustyk. Empterman was only a 2 star.

Gong back to Dave Pear under Owens UW had a tradition of war daddies on the D line. At least one. We got way away from that until Petermen came along

I love the term War Daddy.

Love both the beasts. Vea has been playing more assignment sound this season. Gaines plying well but banged up, he's always assignment sound.

Tank Johnson was underrated and inconsistent but had a pretty solid pro career

dude he was beast with da bears. granted he played next to tommy harris at his prime when he was the best 2 tech DT in the leauge. That bears DL was fucking money. It is shame that great defense like that was wasted on a shitty ass quarterback. reminds of uw
