JimmiJo Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 In response to Michael Irving claiming that he brought physicality to the WR position, Ditka said the following: "Charlie Taylor was physical, he would knock the snot out of you and then come back and catch a dozen balls."

DieselPwr44 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 What's so sad is that Irvin thinks he brought physical WR play back to the NFL when Art Monk was doing it before Irvin ever saw an NFL field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofer Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 It's too bad that Charlie isn't still around. He was the WR coach for Gibbs I. He was a heck of a receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 he was catching 70 balls when most receivers were getting 45. lucky thing he got into the Hall before Peter King started voting, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jizmaglobin Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 irvin doesn't have a clue what phisical WR play is about.after all,they've modified the rules of the game to accomodate the passing game.life was a whole lot different for recievers in the 70's and before then.man i was glad to see him break his freakin neck.never could stand him.

JimmiJo Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 The best part was Ditka telling him he couldn't play today because he would be called so much for pushing off. :applause: :applause: :applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khun Kao Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I especially enjoyed it when Ditka said: "I learned a long time ago not to try and teach a mule." LOFL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselPwr44 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 As a side note, Ditka did bust on Irvin pretty good telling him that he wouldn't be able to finish a game if he(Irvin) was playing today. Ditka: "With the way they call the game today, you'd have so many penalties called on you for pushing off,the coach would have to pull you off the field." Ditka nailed it........

redman Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Don't forget that Ditka undboutedly was victimized by non-calls on Irvin while he was coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor ToughLove Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 The best part was Ditka telling him he couldn't play today because he would be called so much for pushing off.:applause: :applause: :applause: Oh, that is golden and absolutely true. No one got more free offensive pass interference calls than Michael Irvin. It is also funny to hear Irvin talking about being physical on the field to Ditka. What a joke, Ditka could brutalize Irvin now much less back in his prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgunner Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Irvin was very physical , pushing off on every play and yelling about getting called for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
