Re: Top 10 linebackers, 1950 thru 1969?

I think I can give TJ Troup's 1. Burkus (went into the 1970s, don't know how strict you are for 1950-69) 2. Schmidt ... TJ thinks he the best of the big 3 of the 1950s 3. Bill George 4. Chuck Drazenovich 5. Nitschke/Huff I think that would be pretty close No love for Dale Dodrill? Granted he played...

The last 3 games no Cowboy running back has had a rush for 10 yards or more. The first game the RB long was 10 yards

Re: Last 2 way player?

That might be it, depending on your definition. Several defensive players have come in on goal line offense, like J.J. Watt and Dontari Poe. Two defensive backs saw action in the regular offense, but very little. Marcus Jones saw 18 offensive snaps for the 2022 Patriots, and caught 4 passed for 69 ...

Two Way Players in the 1960's

Didn't want to hijack another thread And he's split time at center. The 60-minute thing was also late in his career He'd play center some games and LBer others ... or first half one, second half the other. SO both ways but not all game ... George Connor was probably the guy who played both ways next...

I didn't see anything that specified MLB.
All I saw was MLB. Yes Bednarik played OLB most of his career. Played MLB at the end of his career.

Re: Revisionist history

I would vote Sonny Randle for 1st Team all-pro along with Raymond Berry. Its a combination of having seen footage of early AFL defenses and Randle being able to lead both the AFL & NFL in TD receptions while catching passes from King Hill and John Roach. And Sam Etcheverry, Ralph Guglielmi, Bud...
