A Look Back at the Great Bruce Smith

[Hardcore Bills Fan]

I loved watching Bruce and his sack dances. Every play was another chance to sack a QB. I'd love to see him vs Brady now. I think, because he was that good, he'd have been a game changer against the Pats

Good to see Bruce and Phil Hansen in good health.

It's a good thing Bruce played before Russ Brandon joined the organization. Otherwise, he would have sucked.

Bruce was so, so good. He is the best player that I have ever seen in a Bills uniform (and it isn't that close). There were a lot of great players on those teams but no one was at the level of Bruce. He just dominated.

Bruce Smith is the greatest Buffalo Bills player of all-time.

Sadly, that would be a 15yd penalty today. Probably.

I didn't get to watch Bruce, bit before my football education started. I was going through his sacks from 1990 on Youtube, I've never seen anyone move off the snap so easily. Half the time, he's halfway upright by the time the snap hits the QB.

He damn near killed Norman Esiason on one play where he was the only one moving on either side of the line at the snap. IIRC.

A lot of people hold Reggie White in higher regard, but to really appreciate what Bruce did you have to understand that playing in a 3-4 defense he saw double teams the majority of the time and sacks typically come from the rush linebackers not the DE, while Reggie saw a lot of single blocks playing his career in a 4-3 look where it the DE responsibility is to provide sacks. Bruce was the better athlete.

And he would register 100+ tackles most seasons which is also incredible for the position he played.

Thought I'd put this here. Nice piece that I can somewhat relate to.
