It's so absurd. It would be like us putting Dexter Coakley in.
Exactly the name that came to mind for me as well.

Coakley was a good football player, but that's all he was -- good.

You don't put players like that in a ROH.

he was no Bradie James :unsure
I don't know if you're saying that in jest but I thought he was better than Bradie James.

Bradie James was a reliable starter and nothing more.

Coakley at least provided pro bowl level play for a number of years and actually had an elite skill.

He was one of the very best coverage LBs in football and jumped routes better than a lot of corners.

Again, he was a good player and difference-maker for about 5 or 6 seasons and to me that's way more than you can say for Bradie James.

yes, in jest. he was also better than that Vietnamese guy. you may now gorilla me.
Dat Nguyen was also a better football player than Bradie James.

He was just undersized and his body couldn't handle the wear and tear at the NFL level.

But as far as talent goes, he definitely had more ability than Bradie James did.

I enjoyed watching Coakley and Dat play. It was never what I would call superior play, but the effort never stopped.

Parcells’ overrating of Bradie James’ coverage ability cost us football games back then. I still remember Payton undressing him on national TV.

I loved when Wade got here and after a few games said, "I wasn't sure how good a player he was, because all they him doing before was slamming into the guard every play."

Parcells loved that 1980s pure two gap system.
