Chandler#81 Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 208 yards rushing. Not a bad way to replace OJ.. 8 4
Beast Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 Remember Roland Hooks game the game after OJ got hurt in his last game as a Bill?
TailgateChef Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) Love those formations: 1 or 2 wideouts, 2 TEs with their hands down, a fullback and a running back. Old school football. Edited June 25, 2021 by TailgateChef 5 1
Greg S Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 It was a great day for him but the late 70's were brutal times. 28,496 at this game.
First Round Bust Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) ah teen-age 1970s memories...game was not sold-out and not on TV..so had to listen to it on the radio and thought this guy would be the next OJ..or more realistically a quality running back featured in the ground Chuck (Knox) gameplans...so wha happened...off-field issues I suspect Edited June 25, 2021 by First Round Bust
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 Never saw those clips before (like Bust, I listened to the game on the radio). Am fascinated that CBS had their #1 PbP team of Pat Summerall and Tom Brookshier doing a late season game between also-rans. Guess Pat wanted to cover a Giants game. Miller was quick but easy to tackle (at least by teams other than the Giants). Had a mediocre 1979, couldn't catch the ball out of the backfield so the Bills drafted Joe Cribbs in 1980 and that was that for the Heisman runner-up. 4
Pete Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 I was 9 years old and at that game! I also remember when he was drafted, the headline read “ it’s Miller time!” 2

K-9 Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 1 minute ago, mushypeaches said: it's not that - it's that you listed 6 skill players and you can only have 5 I don’t think it’s that, it’s the fact the 5 OL, 2 TE, 2 WR, 1 RB, 1 FB, and 1 QB equals 12 men on offense at the same time. I also don’t think number of skill players matters. You could put 11 skill players out there as long as you have at least seven on the LOS and any needing to report to the ref report to the ref. 1 1

Miller looked real fast that day. I wish Singletary and Moss had that type of burst. Maybe Breida will bring that for us this year. Brookshier and Summerall were quite the TV announcing pair. I used to watch them on the weekly hilite show called This week in Pro Football starting in the mid 70's. Loved the hilites w the 70's music. Awesome. 3

Aussie Joe Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 Top 5 draft pick…. Were there other games like this?
PonyBoy Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 I love the humility and class after some of these runs & touchdowns. Just doing his job, no need to flaunt and taunt like so many athletes do today. Genuine jubilation after touchdown run, not choreographed BS. Miss those days. 3
