19 comments:

  1. NFL82's third- and fourth-best defenses are spotlighted today.

    The Jets employ eight seventh-season linebackers: Greg Buttle, Bob Martin and Steve Poole are the starters; John Tate, Dan Lloyd, Larry Keller and Dewey McClain are in reserve. (Bert Cooper is inactive today.)

    The "biggest asset" of Martin, New York's sixth-round draft choice out of Nebraska in NFL76, "is his pass defense," says his 1980 card. "He has good speed and quickness to go with consistency."

  2. Los Angeles's ball on New YorkAFC's 2 yard line. First and goal. 6:12 left in the second quarter. The score is Los Angeles 6, New YorkAFC 6.
    Los Angeles's K1 #10 Tom Dempsey kicks for the extra point. The kick is blocked by New YorkAFC's G2 #66 Gary Puetz. The ball is recovered by QB2 #1 Gene Bradley. Bradley runs for a loss of almost 8 yards. Bradley is tackled by LB4 #73 John Tate. That was FGPAT (8) against FGPATD.

    New York's 12th-round draft choice in 1973, "Garry (Puetz) won starting guard position with Jets at end of preseason camp in 1973 and has developed into an outstanding offensive lineman," his 1975 card says. "One of the few rookies to win starting job on offensive line for Jets, he was twice a College Division All-America choice at tackle at Valparaiso. Gary also played center in college and was an All-Indiana Collegiate Conference selection for 3 seasons."

  6. Maybe this Super Bowl, billed as a matchup of two terrific defenses, will turn into a shootout of big offensive plays ...

  8. Receiving TT Rec Yds Pct Avg Lg TD
    WR2 Lou Piccone 6 5 66 83% 13.2 18
    WR1 Ronnie Moore 9 5 83 56% 16.6 41


    Piccone is "a versatile player who's seen action on specialty teams and at wide receiver for the Jets," his 1977 card says. "He can also play in defensive backfield for the club. Returned more kickoffs for more yardage than any other specialist in pro football during 1974 campaign. Had fumble recovery which led to touchdown in Jets' 1974 17-14 upset over Dolphins at Shea." Undrafted out of West Liberty State College of West Virginia in 1974, "he played on 2 championship teams and reached NAIA semifinals in 1970 and 1971."

    Will the desperate screams of "GET THE BALL, RULON!" be the Jets' lasting legacy from their second Super Bowl appearance?

    Jones "posted 15 tackles and 3 quarterback sacks in game for Utah State," his 1983 card says. He and wife Kathy have two sons.

  19. Since the Rams selected him in the third round of the 1972 draft out of Colorado State, Lawrence McCutcheon has amassed 10,452 rushing yards and one tackle. One very important tackle.

    Says his 1975 card: "Only the 2nd Ram runner ever to rush for over 1000 yards in season, Lawrence set new club mark in 1973 and bettered his own record last season. The NFL's leading ball carrier in 1974, he also had 39 receptions for 408 yards."
