Re: NFL Media Guides
Hi all: I am bumping this thread as it looks like some older media guides have been posted in recent weeks.

Re: Post-modern Oline/Dline Conversions
I want to say Tom Day started off at offensive guard for the 1963 Buffalo Bills but moved over to the defensive line?

Re: Super Bowl X Steelers should have Routed Cowboys
In Ray Gerela's defense I think he broke a couple of ribs tackling Thomas Henderson on the opening kickoff. It was a great game with a lot of Hall of Fame players and coaches.

Defensive Center position
I was reading through some material on the 1949 AAFC New York Yankees. The material identifies Harvey Johnson as their placekicker, but notes he was also 3rd string defensive center. As he weighed in the neighborhood of 210 pounds, I think we would call this position middle linebacker? Thank you ver...

Bob DeMarco
It seems to me center Bob DeMarco is being overlooked for the Hall of the Very Good. A career in pro football spanning from 1960 to 1975 is a lot. Am I off base here? I want to say DeMarco should get in before Jeff Van Note and Jon Morris?
Thank you.

Re: Who is your pick for 3rd-best Dallas Cowboys QB ever?
Craig Morton started playoff games in three different decades. Did he win a playoff game in three different decades? Did he ever throw for 300 yards in a playoff game? He had a wild career.

Re: Reverse on a kickoff return
I write to tip my hat to such fantastic research. Thank you for sharing. Before he went astray, number 56 was a player for the Dallas Cowboys.
Also, it did make for a great scene in Black Sunday.

Reverse on a kickoff return
A couple of weeks ago there was a good thread on the end of Super Bowl X. On the opening kickoff of that game Dallas did a successful reverse with Thomas Henderson taking the ball from Preston Pearson. I think the only other time I have seen this executed is with Stump Mitchell handing off to Roy Gr...

Re: Your Top 10 TEs of all-time
Great material on Charle Young - a great player on John McKay's USC teams. I feel like Russ Francis is being overlooked a little, but maybe I am wrong? Can someone who saw Francis play give their opinion? Thanks a lot.
