Name that Cowboy Player

[cowboyjoe]

Uni numbers are making this a little too easy.

that one is way to easy too
calvin hill and walt garrison

 

[cowboyjoe]

now that one is just alittle difficult, but lance frazier, then herb adderly, had to think there a minute, then billy cundiff

 

[cowboyjoe]

correct, he got all three right. I tried to get players with common numbers. It was Frazier, Adderley and Billy the kid.

the only problem with this thread is you can right click and then click properties on most all of these and the link has the players name in it.

ah, your not suppose to cheat, remember, besides your suppose to see if you know the players

 

[jobberone]

Adderley wore the same number in Green Bay. I really had trouble with him coming to Dallas. I still hate Green Bay as much as the Steelers and Skins.

 

[THUMPER]

I didn't mind Adderley so much as I liked him as a player anyway but I really hated Forrest Gregg & Lee Roy Caffey. We signed both of them in 1971 and neither did anything for us.

But I am with you in hating the Packers to this day. Same goes for the Browns.

not me, i loved when he came to dallas i knew he was a player, still to this day i have never seen a cb that could intercept a ball like him;

the offensive player would be in front of adderly, adderly would do like a forwards flip sommersaults over the wr and pick the ball off.

that took talent, and like adderly said when he came to the cowboys, he showed them his superbowl ring and said; im going to show you what it takes to win a superbowl, harder work, more attention to detail, staying after practice and working with the rookies, etc

something that this current cowboys team needs to do now too

agree didnt particullarly care for forrest gregg either, kinda mixed on lee roy caffey, and i still dont like the packers, steelers and 49ers to this day, along with total dislike for the giants, Commanders and eagles.

browns im over with, dont hold any more grudges against them;

Yeah, I'd forgotten how much I did hate the Browns. They just had our number much of the time back then. I was so disappointed those two years.

I got over Adderley. He played at a high level for us. Gregg played well, too, at first. I'd forgotten about Caffey. I can't seem to remember him.

Had to look it up. Played in 71 and started 6 games as a backup LB. I just don't remember it. Oh well, what's new about that these days.

caffey was alittle too old and slow for the cowboys when they got him from the packers, i remember him vaguely, always arriving late on tackles etc

i dont remember too much about the browns games with the cowboys; just that jim brown would abuse us;

what made it memorable for me about the browns, i met all pro og john wooten at cowboys headquarters in 75, i gave him my shotgun formation notes in february that i took out of a book written by red hickey

needless to say in march landry installed the shotgun formation, telling red hickey that he wanted to have hickey work with staubach

so in a small way i helped the cowboys that year, along with showing them why we were missing field goals, charley waters wasnt holding the ball wiht all fingers, and he would look up at the goal post before herrera would kick the ball, after i sat down and wrote tex schramn and gil brandt, tex told me they would look into it

and i got better season tickets that year too,

Do you recall the mouth piece thing with Robert Newhouse? Teams figured out he would only put his mouth piece in when he was gonna get the ball, some fan finally wrote in about it and he stopped doing it. Was that you joe?

I remember those 68 and 69 games like it were yesterday. And the bitter disappointment. Cleveland actually beat us twice that one year.

 

[bbgun]

I'd say we profited quite handsomely from these two castoffs.

cowboyjoe, how old are you anyway? I had you pegged for a younger poster until you went all Rambo-oldschool in this thread.

 

[Idgit]

Only if you get this one right.

This was damn funny, btw, bbgun.

 

[cowboyjoe]

Do you recall the mouth piece thing with Robert Newhouse? Teams figured out he would only put his mouth piece in when he was gonna get the ball, some fan finally wrote in about it and he stopped doing it. Was that you joe?

no, but another fan, i heard him call tex schramn, remember the Commander game way back when walt garrison was stopped at the goal line, because the ball was thrown to him way up in the air;

a fan called up and said that he noticed every time that robert newhouse would go out for a pass, jack pardee middle linebacker for reskins would hollar out pass, pass before the cowboys hiked the ball

the fan told tex schramn that to him looked like newhouse would unsnap his chin strap so he could jump up and catch the ball, tex said he would look into it

sure enough, robert newhouse was doing that; and espn talked about it aweek later too

so fans can make a difference, its kinda like the play with the eagles in phily, where dat nyugen was hollering out a pass, pass, and set roy williams safety to intercept the ball, dat saw some key and warned the defenders, and roy williams made a big play due to dat seeing a key from the eagles offense

so fans can make a difference

yep and killed us in the playoffs due to jim brown

 

[cowboyjoe]

no not a youngster, im 56

thats why i know my football, in some ways romo reminds me if a don meredith, tex schramn would always tell don, when are you going to grow up and be the leader on this team, etc

romo does almost the same thing in some regards
both would fight you tooth and nail to the end, and dandy don would have alittle smile too to a degree
if you also remember don would party too to a degree, just didnt get publized as much back then

till roger staubach would come in, this team didnt take the next step

im not saying romo is a don meredith etc, im just saying in some ways they remind me of each other

so in some regards, i know my football and what i see;

 

[JethroPugh]

Jethro was a very underrated player.

Very true.

 

[bbgun]

Very true.

I'm not sure, but I think he holds the team record for playoff game appearances.

 

[cowboyjoe]

yep, i loved howley and adderly;
i still remember the interception where howley was on the ground, got off of it quick and intercepted the ball and later when running with the interception, howley had a TD in front of him to run the ball in, but he ran out of gas and fell down on his own

and remember we got chuck howley in a trade for a 2nd round draft choice which was a steal to me, from the bears, no less, a team noted for drafting linebackers
