One of the interesting names on the rosters of these two teams is Miami's QB3, Archie Manning, the longtime starter of the Saints. He was once drafted as a shortstop by baseball's Chicago White Sox.
ReplyDeleteAnother former first-round pickup on Don Shula's bench is FB2 Norm Bulaich, the Colts' top choice in 1970 out of Texas Christian. His 198-yard performance in a 1971 game set a Baltimore record.
ReplyDeleteMiami's inactive 10th-year T4, Gordon Jolley, is a former Lion. After switching from receiver to tackle for his sophomore season, Jolley started every game for three straight seasons at Utah and earned All-Western Athletic Conference, says his 1976 card. He went to Detroit as a 17th-round draft choice in 1971, was released but turned back up in 1972 and became a dependable backup. He moved on to Seattle in the NFL76 expansion draft before eventually making it to Miami.

ReplyDeleteNolan Cromwell's 80-yard punt return is the game's first giant play. Dolphins LB3 Lance Mehl, a former Ohio coal miner, makes a touchdown-saving (for now) tackle at the 1.
