@BarrySchust As for Emlen & the Giants in the 50s, Coach Steve Owen created the Umbrella Defense (similar to 4-3 defense) to counter the powerful passing attack of the Browns. Emlen, great tackler, played closer to the line to handle the run, while the other Safety played more freely. (cont.)

@BarrySchust The Strong Safety designation started when the Tight End began to become regular in the early 60s. The Strong Safety's role is to be on the side with more offensive weapons, which is where the Tight End would line up. One of his roles is to cover the Tight End. (cont.)

I got Troy Polamalu as the greatest Strong Safety in NFL history. Who you got?

@Hero_OfThe_Day Kareem, Michael, and Wilt. Magic and Larry are 4 and 5.

@nighthawk326 Who are the 3 greatest??

Are these the Top 3 players in NBA history?? 👀🎤🎤

@bruiser813 @BarrySchust Not true. Strong vs Free had been created since the 60s, which Krause played in.

@nighthawk326 @BarrySchust Back in those days there were just safeties. No other designations.

@bruiser813 @BarrySchust Free Safety

@BarrySchust Paul Krause, all-time interceptions leader (81). Sixteen seasons. Eight Pro-bowls.

@leftturnjohnny @BarrySchust @HawkEmDownChris Blount (CB)...Lott (FS)

@BarrySchust @HawkEmDownChris Mel Blount + Ronnie Lott

@BrentNewto68390 @BarrySchust Free Safety

@BarrySchust Steve Atwater

@GenXpatriot_78 @BarrySchust Free Safety

@BarrySchust Sean Taylor

@VikesUncensored @BarrySchust Free Safety

@BarrySchust Paul Krause

@HurdleTheDead44 @BarrySchust Nope...Troy is one of the few great Strong Safeties.

@BarrySchust Wasn’t he the Free Safety?

@JohnnyC12639208 @BarrySchust Both Lott and Atwater are mainly Free Safeties. Only a few Strong Safeties are greater than Troy...Emlen Tunnell and Ken Houston.

@BarrySchust Ronnie Lott? Steve Atwater? Troy is great but the greatest?

@billyblazkowski @BarrySchust Free Safety

@BarrySchust Larry Wilson

@SkinCommand247 @BarrySchust @BearFanPete_FF Ronnie played more at Free Safety

@BarrySchust @BearFanPete_FF Hard to think of one. Ronnie lott was amazing

@BarrySchust My favorite SS...but ranked 3rd behind Emlen Tunnell and Ken Houston.

@td_nash @BarrySchust Played more Free Safety than Strong Safety

@BarrySchust Ronnie Lott for me

@Hoopss NBA history started before 1980. Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell belong in the Top 5...over Patrick Ewing and David Robinson.

The top 5 most dominant centers in NBA history: Nikola Jokic Shaquille O’Neal Kareem Abdul-Jabbar David Robinson Patrick Ewing

@td_nash His lifetime ban is over...he's dead. Time to put him in the Hall.

Should Pete Rose be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame and why/why not?🧐

@beyonceangelR Like the Sky's gonna be in the playoff again?

Y’all about to find out that reason why Jeff sent Tspoon packing is the same reason he traded Angel. These players are about to see signs and wonder this season.
