I hear that. Maybe it's a statement about how much football has changed since Willie played, but he was simply crushing QBs. Just blasting into them.
I haven't seen the entire thing yet, but I loved the story about how Willie tried to impart some knowledge on Ferric Collons, who was a pretty good (and really big) two-way end we got from Green Bay for a draft choice (going on memory here) and Collons, instead of taking the advice, threw a punch at him.
I forget the exact quote, but Willie simply said something like "then he had to deal with the consequences of that", which made me wonder what kind of damage a pissed-off Willie Mac could inflict in a fight. There was a reason why people respected that man and one of which was that he could whip any guy in the room. And a lot of other rooms.
I believe Collons got cut, somewhat mysteriously, just after that incident and it never made sense to me then. We were hurting for DEs at the time and the guy was a pretty good player, but.....I think he wore out his welcome.
I love inside shit like that.
