Re: Packers fatigue

Appreciate the additional information on Shofner I agree that the rams indecisiveness in terms of Shofner cost him a hof spot What Nick said is right. Plus there is a little more Rams brass got down on him in 1960, he was dropping balls and they accused him of not being in shape or that he'd lost h...

Re: Duane Thomas question

I notice Duane Thomas appears in the Green Bay Packers' 1979 Media Guide. Was he so talented that teams would sign him even after long layoffs from football? I never saw him play. Thank you. Nick Yes he was that talented --early in his career and somehow teams kept thinking they could get the 1971-...

Re: 1972: Steelers VS Redskins

George Allen's M.O. was to take away the opposing team's best thing. He knew the Packers were not going to be successful passing, so he did a 5-2 defense to stop Brockington and Lane. Packers countered by passing more than usual. He challenged the Packers to throw. Vs Steelers he would have tried to...

Re: Giants doing top 100 players ... have released 91-100

Plaxico --- 4 years with Giants --- very good ones ... interesting to see some of the ones behind him ... I'd have Spider and Shickey ahead of him, just in that group

Re: Tight Ends and Defensive Tackles that could be Hall of Very Good

I think could be in this conversation is Diron Talbert. Sure --- I'd put him in the conversation, more in the Pugh category ... solid player. It just becomes the came question as HOF versus HOVG ... where is the line between HOVG and the Hall of Good? I don't know. You can get into Gary Johnson and...

Re: Tight Ends and Defensive Tackles that could be Hall of Very Good

defensive tackles that any of you think could be considered candidates for Hall of Very Good? To me, the top older DTs left are Jerry Sherk. Larry Brooks, someone already mentioned Dave Butz, he's right there But is 5 years is enough? If so, Mike Reid would also be there. You run into some injury-s...

Re: 4-3 LBers with 10 sacks or more

- Bill George in 1961, but if you watch the film he's often rushing from the line with his fist in the dirt. Shaunnessey ran some really exotic stuff that year and often it was a 5-man line with George as the added rusher. As with John's examples a really special circumstance. If we are adding in M...

Re: 4-3 LBers with 10 sacks or more

Looking for 4-3 LBers with 10 or more sacks, I checked out the ALL Pros from 1970-1989. Seemed like a good place to start. I only found one 1985 Chicago, Otis Wilson 1984 Washington, Monte Coleman (from memory) 1967 SF Wilcox shows 9.5 but 1.5 sacks are missing from the 1967 SF totals if 48 is the ...
