William Andrews had the potential to be one of the leagues all time backs until his career ending injury.

This was one hell of a football player!!!

Thanks William for what you gave us!

I really think they were a great team. The Falcons were just about the only NFC team that rattled the Cowboys during the late 70s, and early 80s. I remember after the 1978 playoff game, Tom Landry said how much he admired them.

@jaikenjr,

Actually your the idiot if you also subscribe to the notion that "the Falcons were just about the only NFC team that rattled the Cowboys during the late 70's, and early 80s." That's simply not true. The Falcons were only 1 of 4 NFC not to register a win against Dallas from 1977-1983. The 79' Rams rattled them, so did the 80' Eagles, 81' 49ers, 82 Redskins, and 83' Rams. Yet some how in your world the Falcons were the cat's azz against Dallas?  Your only kidding yourself.

@panzerschnott Are you high? I'm going to consider late 70's through early 80's to mean 1977-1983. They only played the Cowboys twice in that time frame and Dallas won both games in the playoffs. Check out what the Eagles, 49ers, Redskins, etc did to Dallas. I think your sipping a little too much Kool Aid out of the Falcon jug. "Just about the only team that rattled the Cowboys?" Give me a break.

@F2F9103 I think he is in Prison for fraud.

FS Tom Pridemore had a career year in 1981, and being a hard-hitter in on 12-15 tackles a game his 1st few years had taken its toll. He was a smart tough player with limited speed and not a whole lot of range at safety. He was not the student of the game,either, that his teammate #36 Glazebrook was,but Pridemore did have the instincts to play a decent center fielder at FS.

"Captain Crazy" Fulton Kuykendall was the old-fashioned, blood-and-guts guy among the linebackers. He found a way to get to the ball carrier, and was a competitor and a big hitter. While playing the run was his strong suit, being 6-5 had its advantages against the pass in zone coverages. Above all, he was rugged, and his consistency and powdering tackles returned valuable dividends to the Falcons. He was highly intense and willing to play with pain.
