I'm NOT an Eagles fan but I do miss the old school ASTROTURF at the Vet. I'm probably the only fan in the football world that HATES grass!...When this game was played, I was in the U.S.Army stationed at Ft. Eustis,VA.....Oh yeh, I'm a Dallas fan!
Football has PARTIALLY gotten to old roots. The rules are NOT original roots because defensive players can't hit QBs like the Dick Butkus days. Rough play has died somewhat..........I am 1970s (Old school). Because of current changes in football today, I don't have the same desire or intrest towards football like I once had. I used to love it & looked forward to opening seasons.....Today, I could care less. NO pun intended but my Cowboys have pissed me off somewhat too!
@xxchinookxx do you remember this line from former phillies closer Tug McGraw...He was asked which do you prefer - grass or astroturf - he replied "I DON'T KNOW, I'VE NEVER SMOKED ASTROTURF" ...LOL.
Interesting that Ozzie Newsome was on hand for Harold Carmichael's big day. As we all know, The Wizard of Ozz would eventually surpass Carmichael for consecutive games with a reception, total receptions for a tight end and total yards at tight end, and so own the record book at that position.
Great work! I can't wait to get my copy, because I'm going to play this for all my buddies. I sat here drinking a beer and watching this video and had a great time! We gotta' send this one to Dino and Matt! Ryan, did you notice Matt on the sidelines? Are you putting this on the new Kardiac Kids Disc?
@diz2001 Thanks. I wish the quality was little better on the GOTW portion, but I can't complain. I had Matt and Dino in mind when I transferred this... and yes, I am planning on adding it to the disc.
Wow!! I remember crying after this game. I believe the Birds lost 24-19. I remember Wilbert Montgomery having a good game, but I think he fumbled once or twice. The Eagles should have won this game.
@5:24 Browns DB #28 Ron Bolton was savvy and nasty and could cover. @8:18, Browns FB #43 Mike Pruitt was a first-class power back with good speed & acceleration and receiving skills but very little wiggle. Mike Pruitt could get to the hole in a hurry, run over people and still blow by them, too. Mike Pruitt was an explosive big back with inside bang and a real bust, and worked hard to make himself a solid "manufactured" receiver.
Eagles RB #31 Wilbert Montgomery was shifty and had great balance. he had the speed to go wide and the strength to be effective inside. The Eagles would often move this talented athlete around and find ways to get him the ball and was a big reason for the Eagles' increased use of multiple formations. He was a versatile football who could put a strain on a defense. He had more quickness than speed, he also had strong legs, a knack for finding the right hole & a quick burst to break into secondary
Eagle WR Harold Carmichael #17 used his size to his advantage, ran good routes and found the holes in the secondary. I have a tendency to believe his only season as a truly great player was 1973.
Cleveland QB Brian Sipe was a winner, a bright, dedicated coach-on-the-field type. He got maximum mileage out of ordinary ability and was never intimidated by a pass rush. Sipe would come up with big plays. Not blessed with the raw athletic ability of some of his peers, Sipe depended largely on rythm and timing with receivers to get it done. He was intelligent, studious, and competitive and made a career of sitting back and waiting as long as possible to throw.
#82 Browns tight end Ozzie Newsome was a fluid, maneuverable athlete with soft hands, a knack of reading defenses, reacting to coverages deep speed, and determination to go get the ball. He would be the Browns principal big-play receiver throughout the Cardiac Kids era as well as one of the NFL's top control receivers. He had a burst out of his cuts and acceleration to the ball. His blocking? He was a willing blocker who kept his feet and stayed after it but lacked the bulk to move anyone out.
Eagles QB Ron Jaworski had most of the tools it took to be an outstanding QB. He was an effective leader, was knowledgeable and tough, had a strong arm and eventually improved his touch. His only real shortcomings were that he lacked ability as a ballhandler and mobility in the pocket.
@ryanbrandy08 Excellent editing. I love the way you inserted the NBC live-action within the NFL Films GOTW. The contrast is intriguing.

Astroturf is old school? C'mon, it's nice that football has gotten back to its real roots (no pun intended).

Man it seems like the Cleveland Browns were on the Game of the Week a lot during the Kardiac Kids years.

#20 Eagle RB Leroy Harris was a tough, short-yardage runner with no speed and limitations as a receiver.
