I got to see a majority of these guys play,with the ones I didn't, it wouldn't detract the fun this game can provide,as I'm a football freak,and watch alot of older clips on NFL network or the net.
As far as Lambert.....all I can say is OMFG! He is my favorite all time player,that man was a beast. If you think Ray Lewis is mean...pft, Lambert (in his day) would make Ray Ray bow in his presence lol (I apologize Raven fan's,please don't flame me lol, lol).
I remember an interview with Elway, first year playing the Steelers...he looks across the line,and what (yes what lol) does he see??? Count Dracula in cleats (Jack Lambert) middle teeth missing, snarling at Elway.....Elway then admitting during that interview that he was scared to death...lol lol.
Now you can see why...lol
If you get a chance,or have NFL network,I would suggest catching some of those older clips,as I don't think you'd be disapointed.
