Mississippi, Hilton played his college football at Jackson

Other than his passive-aggressive T-shirt that he wore-but-sort-of-covered-up Chuma Edoga Jersey , Sean Payton was mostly calm during his press conference Wednesday.But the Saints coach was also firm that there was plenty of work to be done in his other role, as a member of the competition committee.“I like the fact that I’m part of that committee and I know every offseason, the members of that committee, we all sit down and really try to grind on, ‘Hey, how to make this game better, safer.’ Then present it to ownership and the other coaches,” Payton said, via Christopher Dabe of the . This year will be no different. Certainly there’ll be topics like that that are brought up.”Yeah Trevon Wesco Jersey , maybe like that one play, when a team was jobbed out of a trip to the Super Bowl by an obviously missed pass interference/helmet-to-helmet hit.But Payton also mentioned this year’s kickoff changes, and cited the 1978 Raiders “Holy Roller” play, which led to a rules change as well.“I think that it’s very common in our league for certain events to take place and then, man, there’s a reaction in the offseason,” Payton said.He was short on specifics but said he very much looked forward to the discussion.“I think as we get closer, talking to your peers and your fellow coaches and people in the business, there are a lot of great ideas Shareef Miller Jersey ,” he said. “You take what happened in the kickoff and how we took the special teams coaches, we took a lot of people that were experts in that area and sat them down and I think they came up with some real good solutions this (past) offseason. . . .“This specifically, really, pertains to timing, timing of games and how much can be reviewed. That’s a little bit more challenging.”One senses it’s a challenge he’s up for. Roy Hilton, a defensive end best remembered for helping the Baltimore Colts beat the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl V, has died at the age of 75.A 6-foot-6, 240-pounder who was often described as looking more like a basketball player than a football player, Hilton proved quick out of his stance and difficult to handle. That was seen most in Super Bowl V Zach Brown Jersey , when the Cowboys lined up All-Pro offensive tackle Ralph Neely against Hilton, thinking Neely would get the better of the matchup and they could run behind him all game. Instead, Hilton held his own against the run and blew past Neely on passing plays, twice sacking Cowboys quarterback Craig Morton and once pressuring him into an interception.“After the game, Mac [Colts coach Don McCafferty] came over to me, shook my hand and just said, ‘Thanks,'” Hilton recalled years later to the . “That was the highlight of my entire career. See, I was fired up for the Super Bowl because Devin Bush Jersey , beforehand, Dallas had switched Neely from one side of its offensive line to the other. They wanted to get him away from [Colts All-Pro defensive end] Bubba Smith. I guess they thought I was easy pickings for Neely, and it ticked me off.”A ticked off Hilton was a danger to opposing quarterbacks. Although sacks were not an official statistic in those days, he got to the quarterback regularly and was a starter on one of the best defenses in football.A native of Mississippi, Hilton played his college football at Jackson State and was drafted in 1965 by both the Colts in the NFL and the Houston Oilers in the American Football League. He chose the Colts and spent nine seasons with them, then played one year with the Giants and after considering retirement spent a final year with the Falcons in 1975. He missed only one game in his 11 seasons, and is remembered as a steady and reliable teammate, who helped his team win a Super Bowl.
