While he was with the 49ers. Lawrence Taylor would line up as a DE in a 3-4 front with his hand in the dirt....Belichick had Taylor do this several times and more often than not Taylor would fight through the double teams and sack the QB.<br /><br />I guess you would put Rickey Jackson on the Mount Rushmore of OLBs.<br /><br />Well.....Lawrence Taylor is THE mountain.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671597189284771918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958997061437462003.post-2364644467067861462020-01-23T10:37:23.253-07:002020-01-23T10:37:23.253-07:00Taylor was overwhelming great at EVERYTHING.

Taylor mostly played on the weakside, while Jackson played the strong side. Both players improved their teams, but while Taylor was being shown alot on TV, being in the powerful NFC East, nobody saw much of the Saints until Jim Mora joined the team and got them more offensive help to go with their defence. Unlike Taylor, Jackson also played well at DE and I believe was better in pass coverage.Brian wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03887742217457349700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958997061437462003.post-85926969334425740422019-12-02T16:22:36.827-07:002019-12-02T16:22:36.827-07:00I admire Rickey Jackson but he is NOT in Lawrence...I admire Rickey Jackson but he is NOT in Lawrence Taylor's class.
