For those with graying hair

[THUMPER]

that's right.......you know they say memory is the first to go

Actually, they say the memory is the SECOND thing to go.

I can't remember what the first thing was though.

I don't think those guys played together, but I may be wrong.
anybody know?

Lilly's last season was '74, so they did play together.

Just one season. Lilly's last and Too Tall's first.

Edit...oops. Already answered.

Here's some scans I did last year, in case some of you missed them the first time.

I'm not old enough to have any memories of those pics.

In the first (top) picture -

That's ESPN's Tom Jackson who is watching Drew Pearson run away with the ball.

GREAT stuff!

Thank you.

Next to Herschel to Minnesota, or perhaps the Dorsett-Seattle trade, the Morton trade was the franchise's biggest heist. Still not sure why we drafted him in the first round in '65. After all, Don was still young and Roger was in the pipeline.

The Boys drafted Morton because he had a cannon for an arm, maybe the strongest in the league.

Yup.

Also -- Didn't Morton suffer a shoulder injury as a Cowboy, after which he was never quite the same?

:laugh2: at the pic of Steve Young on the ground in the first link.

All are great photos btw.

Great photos bbgun.

Thanks for posting BB.

I guess the thing that gets me about those old time pics more than anything else is how small the players look compared to todays players. That top pic of Drew Pearson and the one of Golden Richards especially.

Boy those sure bring back some memories.

I have a couple of graying hairs

but don't need much to appreciate those photos

Oh I don't know. There are plenty of guys playing today who are as small or smaller than Pearson and Richards (like Crayton or those smurfs in Washington). The trenches are a different matter.

Yes, I don't remember if it was an arm or a shoulder, but he was never the same again - he just couldn't put the zip on the ball he used to. Staubach beat him out on intangibles, not arm strength.

Maybe on this play.

I think his elbow was bothering him early on, then it was his shoulder. He was somewhat fragile.
Actually you remember that the Boys really did not think they would get anything out of the Staubach pick. Morton was supposed to be the guy who would take over from Meredith.

Great pics / great memories............they don't make face masks like they use to.

I was a YOUNG chap when the majority of those were taken!
