Re: Was Roy Green a two-way player in 1981?

Troy Brown occasionally played on defense for the Patriots in 2004 and 2005. In 2005, he had 39 receptions and 3 interceptions. IBrown stepped in as a nickel DB in 2004, and that was the year he intercepted three passes. The Patriots had a slew of injuries at DB at midseason. Brown held up surprisi...

Re: Bill Brown: the Jim Marshall of RBs

Marshall is listed as a starter for all his games. Was this just a sham to keep his start streak going by the mid-70s, where he played the first snap and had very little part in the rest of the game anymore? Somebody once posted on here that Grant would start Marshall to keep his consecutive start ...

Re: Why did Sam Wyche fare so poorly in Tampa?

Unlike the Bengals, Wyche couldnt build an offensive line in TB. He didnt have any playmakers as well and Testeverde was terrible, lucky to have his career revived by the Browns, who would become the Ravens. I feel Marchibroda turned around his career. Wyche only had Testaverde for his first season...

Re: Worst RBs/WRs with a 1000 yard season?

Gaston Green comes to mind for Denver. 4 very nondescript years in the NFL where he wasn't much of a blip on the radar despite being a 1st rounder. I was never impressed with him. One thing I remember about that NFL draft was the top four RBs were Gaston Green, Brad Muster, Craig Heyward and Lorenz...

You'd think Gerhke would be a hot candidate for the PFRA's HOVG.

Re: London Fletcher

The Bills run defense with Fletcher was very good when he had two big, talented DT's in front of him: Sam Adams and Pat Williams. When Buffalo only had one or the other, the run defense was extremely bad. Fletcher still made a lot of tackles, but they were mostly 5-6 yards downfield Possible HOVG ca...

Re: Herschel has found some rivals...

Brown didnt properly forcast alot of players, who were motivated to prove him wrong with other teams. Not just Jordan, Quinlan or Davis but Parilli for GB, Howton, Clarke for Dallas, Mitchell for Washington, Plum for Detroit, Dawson for KC, Marshall for Minn, Donovan, Rechichar and Shula for Baltim...

Re: Herschel has found some rivals...

Wait that's illegal How so? Has to be some kind of collusion/competitive balance violation. There's zero chance a GM wouldn't get banned indefinitely from the league today for this. You might want to look up the definition of collusion: "secret or illegal cooperation or conspiracy, especially ...

Re: Worst RBs/WRs with a 1000 yard season?

Steve Slaton was a cinderella RB for the Texans in 2008. He turned into a pumpkin after that ... Mike Anderson was a tough RB for the Broncos but couldnt follow up his great year in 2000 succeeding Terrell Davis. To his credit he had another 1000 yard year in 2005. Tatum Bell had a decent year for ...
