New York Giants: Longing for those ‘Glory Days’
Since the Giants are light years away from winning a Super Bowl again, I was feeling nostalgic after watching “The Two Bills” on ESPN.
Highlights of Bill Parcells jawing with Phil Simms, and Lawrence Taylor chasing down quarterbacks were the Glory Days for this franchise. No disrespect to the New York Giants teams that won it in ’07 and ’11, but they can’t compare to the ’80s teams.
Taylor revolutionized the linebacker position and was the league’s MVP in 1986. He had 20.5 sacks alone – leading the Giants to their first Super Bowl in team history. Parcells and defensive coordinator Bill Belichick orchestrated one of the best all-around defenses in league history.
