Deacon Jones is a fan of James Harrison

***Atlanta Dan*** · 02-04-2012, 03:10 PM

Words of praise from the 60s defensive end called the Secretary of Defense

"I know they've rattled him. They've taken away his game," Jones said. "I watched the blows that this young man has delivered. I find nothing wrong with them."

Jones added, "I don't want to speak like an obvious defensive lineman, but you've got to hit. This is a game of hitting. If you get up, great. If you don't, great. I'm not here to cheerlead, I'm here to destroy."

Deacon Jones would not last long in today's game which is no longer supposed to be a game of hitting

Deacon would bitch slap the chit out of his opponent. He was a part of that Fearsome Foursome, wasn't he?

Deacon, Merlin Olsen, Lamar Lundy, and Rosey Grier were the original Ram foursome.

That chit brings back some memories. I remember him in some of those plays. GB and the LA Rams used to go at it in the 60's.

Goodell has suspending what little benefits Deacon still gets from the rich nfl owners, till he retracts any positives about Harrison.
