Toledo Bill Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 Using the honor system (just going by memory)... who can name the offensive linemen (including the tight end) the year OJ rushed for 2000 yards? Just trying to post something thought provocative and different.

Ennjay Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 Center: Mike Montler Guards: Reggie McKenzie and Joe DeLamielleure (HOF!) Tackles: Dave Foley and Paul Seymour . . . although I know Seymour started as a tight end and later moved inside.

The gurds should be easy, the center and tackles are a little bit harder

Ennjay Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 Who was the other tackle when Seymour was tight end? 213687[/snapback] This is killing me. I know I know this but I'm blanking. The receivers were JD "Crackback" Hill and Bob Chandler, and the fullback was Jim Braxton, right?

I have always forgotten Dave Foley and known the other tackle. But now... I can't remember it either.
Ennjay Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 Close ... Seymour was the TE and Donnie Green was the other Tackle 213690[/snapback] DONNIE GREEN!!! Of course! He was House Ballard before House Ballard was House Ballard.
Toledo Bill Posted January 21, 2005 Author Posted January 21, 2005 Close ... Seymour was the TE and Donnie Green was the other Tackle 213690[/snapback] I feel much better now. Donnie Green... he was a big boy. Sure didn't take you guys long. Thanks.
MikeH Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 I feel much better now. Donnie Green... he was a big boy. Sure didn't take you guys long. Thanks. 213699[/snapback] One other FYI ... Bruce Jarvis was the starting Center until he got injured ... Montler then took over.
SouthernMan Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 Tackles: Donnie Green, Dave Foley Guards: Reggie, Joe D Center: Bruce Jarvis, then Mike Montler taking over following Jarvis's injury. I believe Paul Seymor was a tackle for the Steelers, and was converted into a TE after coming to Bills in trade.
Toledo Bill Posted January 21, 2005 Author Posted January 21, 2005 One other FYI ... Bruce Jarvis was the starting Center until he got injured ... Montler then took over. 213704[/snapback] If I remember correctly, Jarvis wasn't too bad, either. Thanks... I had more fun with this than another "Bledsoe sucks" thread...
RJsackedagain Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 Braxton baby ----there's a fullback the Bills could use now. Didn't he die a few years ago?

Ennjay Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 I believe Paul Seymor was a tackle for the Steelers, and was converted into a TE after coming to Bills in trade. 213709[/snapback] Seymour was a Bills first-round pick from Michigan the same year they took Joe D in the first round from Michigan State. As I recall he was supposed to be a tackle but the Bills moved him to TE because they had the need for blocking and they weren't planning to throw much anyway. Does anyone else remember his older brother Jim? Played WR for Notre Dame in the Terry Hanratty years (speaking of ex-Steelers) and later for the Rams. Big college rep but never did much as a pro.
Ennjay Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 I'm not sure if he died, but I believe Bob Chandler died at an early age. Yeah, Braxton was a moose... 213715[/snapback] Sadly, they both did. Both much too young.
RJsackedagain Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 Here's a link for Braxton http://www.wvuvarsityclub.com/profiles/braxton_jim.html

As I recall he was supposed to be a tackle but the Bills moved him to TE because they had the need for blocking and they weren't planning to throw much anyway. 213716[/snapback] They did move him to TE because of his blocking ability, and he remained there because they later found out that TE Ruben Gant could not block.
