  • @deeniemarie7 ...everybody was whiffing on that Stevens, the NFC's answer to Mack Heron, especially in a later game between Saints and Cardinals

  • @deeniemarie7 the great Nobis was well into his decline by these years because of the injuries from being on a defense out on the field too much throughout his career.

  • @plntntvzn Yes, I agree on Ray Brown. As for Van Note,yes he got blown off his feet in both instances and if you look at the 1.41 you'll see the sure tackling Nobis actually whiff on one. He's borderline sure,but my point is they get hardly any recognition. No great player was 100% on all there assignments, on either side of the ball but your point is well taken.

  • @deeniemarie7 ...another one from back then was Ray Brown #34; good block @ 1:00, gave the Falcons an extra 28 yards om that play. As for Falcon C Jeff Van Note #57, he was very good until he was almost 40; a prize pivot with the best awareness & very smart, a good technician, as savvy as they come & his line calls were usually right on the money. He was competitive as well, but was Van Note ever truly great? I don't think so. See @ 0:26, and especially @ 1:31.

  • If there's one team thats neglected in the HOF dept. it must be the Falcons.

    Tommy Nobis was a superb tackler,an offensive game plan's nightmare,always around the ball. Claude Humphrey was a pass rush terror,very quick laterally and

    physical at the same time. Jeff Van Note at center anchored the line for 18 solid seasons doing his job play after play. Tho the team was a perennial

    also ran,surely these 3 men deserve more recognition than they recieve.

  • After overachieving in 1973 with 4 games in which the Falcons scored more than 40 points without truly great offensive personnel, well...

    Meanwhile, in New Orleans, Archie Manning stayed there this year, even after the NFL had a flurry of QB trades in October. That would have been the year for Archie to get out of New Orleans, but instead, he was only out of the starting lineup.
