Lamar Lundy (1957-69)

The Rams Fearsome Foursome has two members in the Hall of Fame and Roger Brown is in the Hall of the Very Good. I never saw him play, but does Lamar Lundy have a case for the Hall of the Very Good?

Thanks.

George Allen (Giants 1978-79)

I am reading Gary Myers's new book on the 1986 Giants and it mentions the feud between Wellington Mara and nephew Tim Mara as they searched for a coach to replace John McVay during the winter of 1978-79. Tim apparently wanted to hire George Allen, but Wellington was adamantly opposed. Does anyone kn...

Re: 2023 Obituaries

I think Lujack still holds the Bears’ record for most passing yards in a game. I think one would have to be at least 88 years old to have played for Frank Leahy at Notre Dame if Frank’s last season was ‘53?

Re: 2023 Obituaries

I think this linked obituary is for former Washington football player Bobby Wilson, a defensive tackle from Michigan State who was selected in the first round of the 1991 NFL Draft. It seems he passed away in early May 2023. https://www.paradisefuneralchapel.com/obituaries/Bobby-Wilson-Lansing?obId=...

Re: 2023 Hall of Very Good Nominations

I was a little taken aback that Herschel Walker's final season was 1997. If he started with the Generals in 1983 that makes 15 seasons - long run. I think he is the best college football player I saw from 1980 to 2022. I think Georgia only lost three times when he was in college - Clemson, Pitt and ...

I think it starts around the 5 minute mark. Sounds like the Cowboys switched the positions on their defensive line.

Re: (More) Thoughts on Super Bowl V

I think there remains a "tribute" podcast to George Young on the New York Giants website that was done when he passed away. Young was the Colts offensive line coach in 1970 and Ernie Accorsi mentions the Cowboys shrewdly "inverted" their defensive line for SB V and there was very...

Bill McGovern, who coached football his entire adult life after a standout career at Holy Cross College, passed away on May 30 at 60. He was a defensive coach for the Bears, Eagles, and Giants in pro football. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/37761645/ucla-dc-bill-mcgovern-dies-cance...

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?
