I'll always remember him for making tackles downfield. That's great for a DE. He never gave up between the whistles.

Walt Patulski or Al Cowlings would look good playing with Bruce Smith.

i agree.. hansen was overrated.. he was a fan favorite. but he was never a force.. he did his job for the most part.. he stopped the run well.. but since when does quietly doing your job turn you into a stud?

he wasnt.. he was not good at getting sacks, which is a DEs job.

i like the guy.. liked him alot.. but i dont see him as being something that denny or anyone couldnt be this year.

The Comeback


I remember Hanson coming out of nowhere during the Oiler's last drive to stop a 3rd down play- one of their WR's looked like he had a clear path to a first, maybe even the end zone with time running out - Hansen ran clear across the field to haul the guy down to force the game-tying FG

No one ever said he was a stud but he was a very solid defensive end, not just a quiet nobody. He had 61.5 sacks for his career...not too shabby if you ask me. He is only the third person to surpass 50 sacks in a Buffalo Bills uniform. Denny couldn't hold his jockstrap right now in my opinion. That side of the line hasn't been the same since he left, I can tell you that...I wish someone would step up to the plate.

The left side of the line hasn't been the same since Bruce left the right side. :shakeno:

I don't remember Hansen piling up big numbers the year after Bruce left.

61 sacks in the 39 years he played is not that good. :D
