LB: Greg Lloyd. Guy was feared as a linebacker that could really bring the big hits. I remember SI doing an article on him titled "The King of Pain".
Dude freaking launched Brett Favre about 3 1/2 yards through the air in a damn pre-season game on year.
Loved that guy. He'd never make it in the league today with all these pantywaist rules they have now.
Well...
I take that back.
He'd be Jerome Harrison.

This video brings us back to the good days when this game was played and officiated by MEN.

Couldnt find the Favre annihilation, but this one is pretty good.
Terry Metcalf, Elijah Pitts, John Brockington, Mel Gray, Ed Reed, Ted Hendricks (before he played for you-know-who), Jerry Rice, Johnny U, John Mackey......it's a long list, really.

Bert Jones throwing to carr was fun to watch. Jones had a helluva arm and Carr could really fly. Plus Carr was a funny looking bastard, which made me like him more I think.

He would have been one of the all time great QB's had he not hurt his shoulder. he threw the hardest ball I've ever seen. his out passes were rocket balls. I think he knocked Carr out of bounds with one one time.
I remember one game in 1977 against the Patriots, he got an all out blitz and just heaved it 65 yards while some Pats safety was at his knees and it was a perfect pass to Raymond Chester for a TD. and of course that 1977 playoff game between the Colts and the Raiders is one of the greatest games of all time.

My old school friends are right about Bert Jones. For 3 years (75-77) he was the best.

Haha, I was at that Pats game, Memorial Stadium. By chance we happened be sitting behind Steve Grogan's parents. They were nice folks but their boy got his ass kicked that day. After the game a bunch of people tore down the goal posts. I didn't participate but I did enjoy wandering over the field while watching the crazies. Memorial Stadium during Colts games in those days was referred to as "The World's Largest Outdoor Insane Asylum", and with good reason.
Yeah, ol' Bert could throw the ball.

Stan Humphries - I know he was a Bolt but he was like the fat kid you went to school with playing QB and he was a tough SOB. All heart.
I remember an announcer saying Humphries idea of off season training was water skiing.

It's odd that I could like a few Raiders, but I couldn't like some of the great players from the golden eras of the Dolphins, the Steelers, the Cowboys or the 49ers and I couldn't like any players that I associate primarily with the Broncos either.*

* I realize that Dawkins became a Bronco, but I still think of him as an Eagle.
