"For of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: 'What might have been!' "-John Whittier (paraphrased). The actual poem says "It might have been". But, "what" seems to fit Eric Swann's situation better. He was, indeed, a beast.

Making a Comeback
That first play was wild, wow. He was before my time as a fan sadly.

He was a MONSTER. No Cardinals DL could dominate like he could. Before or since.

One of my all time favorite Cardinals.

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
Hot take: He was as good as Donald.

I agree. He scared opposing players. I remember him throwing guys like rag dolls.

I'm saying you ARE stuck in Wichita
I met him a few times and he was really nice and polite with fans

Best DT I’ve ever seen. If only he could have stayed healthy.

Sheeez. Just scary good. Always a source of pride since he and I are family, but man he was special.

Larry Allen, who might be the best guard to ever play, was once asked if there was a player he feared and he said Eric Swann and said every game the Cowboys played the Cardinals, he would go out of his way to tell his fellow linemen not to make him mad because once mad nobody could block him

Calais.
Calais Campbell was excellent; but he didn't play with the intensity that Eric Swann did!

Nah, Swann was a beast. He was as quick as he was big as he was strong. I've never seen another 320 LB DT that had a six pack like him.
I remember watching guys like Cortez Kennedy and thinking Swann was so much better.

Calais was no Swann and not even close, to think otherwise is asinine

Meh Swann had a ton of injuries from a ton of cheap shots.
Down for down he was a monster.

How does that contradict what I said? One is a hall of famer, the other, one in a line of many shoulda coulda wouldas.
Players that play get remembered. Swann could have been an all timer for sure, but I reserve more of my praise for guys that actually get it done year after year.
1000% Crazy to say otherwise.
Calais had a nice long career, good player. But Swann was the most dominate player on the field hands down. Arron Donald-esque

Nuance. I'd suggest exercising some.
