Re: Fred Arbanas
From everyone's favorite site: Wikipedia An interesting number is his percentage of catches for a Touchdown: more than 17% Jerry Rice, for example, is just a tad over 13% So, given all this data, it seems Fred Arbanas was pretty darn good. Mike Vrabel's percentage of catches for a Touchdown is 100%...

Re: Great college football teams from the 1930's-50's & the
I wouldn't say those teams were overrated, football is a team sport, you can see good HS teams have no players get offers from D1(FBS) schools while an average HS team can have 2-3 guys. Same then with college to NFL, it doesn't make the college players/teams less talented (for that level of footba...

Re: Kicking is just too easy
The NFL doesn't know what to do about Extra Points and Kickoffs. My thought on this draws a bit from rugby...the scoring team can elect to kick the Extra Point from anywhere on the field, and the spot of the Extra Point kick will also be the spot used for the ensuing kickoff to the other team. So a ...

Great college football teams from the 1930's-50's & the NFL
I have an old Sporting News book from the late 80's which lists the alleged 25 greatest college football teams of all-time. Its an interesting book with a ton of information, even if the rankings are kind of weird (Jimmy Johnson's 1986-1987 Miami Hurricanes teams are ranked behind the 1976 Tony Dors...

Re: 1950's Detroit Lions
The Rams were a good team from 1949 through 1955 (some call them a dynasty), but did not have as good a defense as Detroit, even though they had great pass rushers Larry Brink and Andy Robustelli. The Rams could score points with their great offense (Waterfield, Van Brocklin, Hirsch, Fears, Boyd, T...

Re: 1953 NFL Championship game footage
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fq3tvLnZpfc Volume 4 of 4 Just a few quick thoughts on the game. The Lions seemed to be able to move the ball better than the Browns, but they also seemed to be stuck in terrible field position for most of the game. Graham was not incredibly sharp, but his receivers ...

Re: 1953 NFL Championship game footage
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsnW2K01Hcw The Lions pull off a successful "Home Run Throwback" with Doak Walker completing a 20-yard TD pass play to Bobby Layne at the 4:40 mark of the video...only to be nullified by penalty. I assume its because Layne lined up under center and then bec...
