  1. Super Bowl III Unitas has a guy wide open ion the end zone and he is waving his arms trying to get Unitas's attention but Unitas never saw him. Worst game of my life.

    It was Earl Morrall who didn't (so he said) see Jimmy Orr.  In later years there are those who say he saw him, but the gamblers had the fix in.

  2. I think he can be.... Keep in mind he was a UDFA. He played very well at Florida in college.

    He played well in the NFL for an UDFA! He's got potential! I think he is strong and very athletic. Just lacks some technique and coaching can usually help or fix that!

    !

  3. It just seems like the fo is not 100 percent interested in winning , Its not just the draft but the on field decisions , if the Horrible play calls continue andrew wont make it another year, If everyone knows your going to throw the ball it makes it a lot easier to defend. In the same instance they are predictable on run downs, The only difference is maybe gore gets 4.0 yards on first down instead of  just making it back to the line of scrimmage. I do think they improved some but not where it was needed most.

    Yes, I'm sure that's it.  The owner, GM and coaching staff of an NFL franchise aren't 100 percent interested in winning.  They probably huddle during the off-season, under a banner that say's "Let's be mediocre next season!"

  4. You can't win with the media.  If Hilton says he's ready for camp, they'll say something like "Hilton does not express excitement to work with Dorsett, could demand trade".  If Hilton says he likes the pick, they'll say "Hilton feeling complacent, could sign with another team next year".  If Hilton says he thinks Dorsett is a great pick and he's ready to mentor the rookie, they'll say "Hilton wants Colts to air it out, ignore running game"

    Spot on.  I have been a public affairs guy working with the press for a number of years - this is precisely what the field of journalism has become. 

  5. I was thinking the same thing.  No 'league' level person would have knowledge of what more than one Colt had to say about our #1 pick and I highly doubt any colt would make such a statement (if it traces back to them, this sort of thing is not good for team dynamics)

     

    So, somebody made this up is what I think.  And it's Florio so..........yep

    Woohoo.  I've been quoted by Nadine!  Sorta like being a professional umpire in the minors and "getting the call."  :^)

  6. Does it matter? Can you honestly say that when you are watching a home game, you are looking at the logo on the field and not the play that is happening?

    They could put a deformed llama with an eye-patch in a pink frilly hat on the 50 for all I care.

    Ditto.  Well - it is the off-season.

  7. He is still a decent return man.

     

    All he needs to do is improve his judgement when calling for the fair catch.

    Unfortunately, good judgement under duress really can't be taught or learned.  It's an innate trait.
