Lott is king of defense for the San Francisco 49ers--ranging behind the line, breaking up pass plays, playing ``good old fashioned smash-mouth football''--and an incredible asset for coach Bill Walsh, though Lott never feels close to him.

Here is the Lott tackle: ``I visualize a spot on the other side...and run full speed straight through...my knees fly into a receiver's helmet...hands whip into his facemask.'' He rejoices in helmet-first ``runaway freight train massacres where I [plow] through some sucker who didn't see me coming.'' Teammates in the way are smashed aside.
