Yeah thank you Mike Shanahan for that trade. Crazy thing is it was originally supposed to be Doug Williams

Should have gotten in a long time ago.

Was Jacoby in the game when Joey T's leg got broke? Still haven't watched that play to this day.

Nope, didn't play. Grimm was the LT

Two trades I'm sure Gibbs is glad he didn't make. Riggins and Williams.

How about Darrell Green too? Or that he initially had Jacoby penciled in as a DT?

Forgot about Green, that one was actually pretty close to happening right?

[SmootSmack]

Very close from what a couple of Green's teammates once told me. Not as close as Fred Davis for Jamaal Charles, but close

what was the green trade?

[htownskinfan]

Congrats to Joe,he deserves to be in,not just a finalist

1st rounder and a player I think

I think had they put Jacoby at guard he would've made it already. But all those highlights of LT beating him probably didin't do him justice. He was a great player for a long ass time.

Joe Jacoby was one of the best offensive linemen of all time. He blocked flawlessly and when he pulled out on the counter trey, he caused some pretty nasty collisions with the members of the opposing defense when our RB ran for yardage. Until this day I'm still wondering how Jacoby went undrafted.

Joe's first year he was almost cut. They had him on the "D" and he sucked. They called him in to tell him he was cut when he told them he thought he could be better if they put him at "O" tackle because he never played "D" before. They put him at :O: tackle and the rest is history.

I'll buy that. If it wasn't the best trade in our history at least it was pretty damn close. Lachey was the best LT in the league imo and Schreoder? Well he didn't do much. That trade was lopsided as hell.
