Bennie Blades was a stone cold killer.
Good hit. The Miami/FSU games, when they mattered, were some nasty physical hit fests. The Barrown hit on Vanover is up there with this one. Maybe worse.
I love my little gif for a couple of reasons - one, I'm old and actually remember that game. Two, the guy laying on the ground is Keith Jackson. For you youngins, KJ was an all world TE at Oklahoma and for the Eagles. He was also a big sum bitch, so it took a safety with big balls to hit him high. Bennie Blades was such a safety.
He's been a bit forgotten because Miami has had a slew of pro bowl safeties, and then Ed Reed and Sean Taylor eventually overshadowed him. He had it all - built like a linebacker and had Olympic Trial 400 meter speed. Could and would slobber knock the shit out of anybody, great against the run and was an awesome center fielder who intercepted a shit ton of passes.
He was also an extraordinary shit talker and intimidated people. Tim Brown shit his pants for four quarters looking for Bennie.
Just like Brian.
Too soon?
Too cold son. Too cold and too soon.
