Doesn't matter how many times I watch his highlights, his speed and football acumen continually amaze me. I always catch myself saying "how in the heck did he just do that"

I can't wait. I went to his NFL Hall of Fame induction. Unbelievable player.

I'm really looking forward to this. Derrick was just before my time. My earliest football memories were from the 1990 season. But I've seen plenty of highlights.
I've always wondered how guys like Bennett and Thomas would have done on Coach Bryant, Coach Stallings, or Coach Saban teams. Would they have wreaked even more havoc? Would they have even fit into the schemes? I think players like that would fit into any scheme, though.

I do know that if you were to trot out an all-time Bama defensive lineup, there would be some NFL HOFers standing on the sideline in the LB 2-deep chart.
It's hard to compare eras, but I still have vivid memories from my boyhood of Biscuit and DT in crimson. I personally believe that 2009 Rolando McClain and (in lesser degrees), Upshaw, pre-knee injury Hightower, and Mosley would have excelled in similar fashion against the offenses of the mid & late 80s.

No way any of them could have caused as much damage as DT. From his sack total to him totally taking over a game like Penn State in 1988. Even saving a game against a wishbone team where he wasn't as effective but found a way to win the game by blocking two field goals against Army in the Sun Bowl. DT was a once in a lifetime player!
Re: be sure and catch the new Derrick thomas documentary on tonight at 8
this^^^, there was no one as good as DT. Mosely comes closest in recent years

45 sacks his last two seasons, including 27 his senior year. The GOAT

Wish they would have gone into his recruitment at Bama. What coach recruited him? How did we learn about him in Miami? How did Miami not get him? What other schools were recruiting him? What made him decide to come to Bama?

Other than Bill Curry's veiled insults clearly aimed toward Alabama fans, I thoroughly enjoyed the documentary.

It must be tough on him.
You have to wonder how many times Curry has looked and mirror and realized that if we was just a competent coach that he could have dominated with the talent he had and brought to Alabama.
It must be tough on him.

Agreed, and it's obvious the man is still very bitter toward our program.
