Bert Jones - Colts - 1978 - Weeks 6 and 8 and Special Teams

[raelraven2]

I almost didn't watch this clip because 1978 has such bad memories as a Baltimore Colts fan. It marked the dramatic decline of a team that had been in to playoffs years in a row. Hard to believe that less than 6 years after this clip the team had sneaked off to Indy.

Indy is hardly a dump.You have probably never been there.People in the east say the same thing about Baltimore,but since I've never been there I wouldn't flame it like you did Indy.You sound like that idiot on the radio out there.

The Colts started in decline in Baltimore in 1978

Special Teams is a 3rd of the Sport of Football

Goes to show you that Special Teams can be just as important as Offense & Defense.

@FrsBigeasy Excellent point. Special Teams is 25-30% of the game. One could only imagine how many Super Bowls Peyton Manning would have won by now if today's Colts had the special teams of the 1978 Colts.

@plntntvzn It would never happen because none of those Colts would ever consider playing in that racecar dump that is Indy...Lyle Blackwood was the man!
