From the Annals of Ill-Advised Coaching Ploys
Taylor just owned the Eagles.
From The New York Times:
Two Eagles quarterbacks – Ron Jaworski and Randall Cunningham – share the distinction of being Lawrence Taylor’s most frequent sack victims, each of them succumbing 12.5 times.
But it was the sacks of Jaworski, a sitting duck of a pocket passer, that most closely resembled the LT ideal articulated in his 1987 autobiography, “LT: Living on the Edge.”
“He doesn’t see you coming and you drive your helmet into his back so hard, he blows a little snot bubble,” LT wrote.

It just brings tears to my eyes to see him play. GOAT, period.
i saw almost every game his first two years in the League, and just watched him on every play. He would lead you to the ball. He had unbelievable speed in the early years and never gave up on a play. And, since (after the first few games of pure destruction) they were scheming against him, he was usually where the action was. On several occasions I saw him catch Wilbert Montgomery from behind on sweeps away from him. One of the few people who required an entirely new offense (Redskins two tight end) to be designed to contain him.
