Lee Roy Jordan was a fine student of the game at middle linebacker and
the defensive tackles benefitted from it. If he noticed the center was
leaning my way and probably was going to try to cut me off, he's say, "Bob."
If the center leaned the other way, he'd say, "Jethro." Lee
Roy watched films over and over and memorized computer printouts so he could
see any tendencies during a game. If a running back leaned or cheated in
his stance, Lee Roy saw it. I think Lee Roy made half of his tackles because
he recognized the little things that most people overlooked.
