At 1:30...Although I feared him, because he was prone to fumbling, you gotta like Oscar Reeds' slashing, running style....... a Duane Thomas maybe ??
-
@6400az: Regarding the "non-celebrations", I can recall Jeff Siemon sacking John Hadl near the end of a 10-9 win over the Rams in '73, and simply walking back to the bench, and sitting down very quietly, no fuss or fanfare; typical Bud Grant Vikings...
-
@6400az: Ironically, both Clint Jones and Bob Grim had career years in 1971, when the Viking offense hit rock bottom..
-
Actually Grim first ended up in Chicago from the Giants, and then back to the Vikings starting in 76'.
Same thing with Joe Blahak, Tarkenton, Bob Berry, couple other players Grant brought back.
-
@6400az: And then Grim was traded back to the Vikings for the 1977 season,when he became basically the Vikes' 3rd receiver for the playoffs..
-
Yea, I think Cuozzo was out of football after 1972. Went to the Cardinals in the Gilliam trade. After his stint with the Cardinals ,that must have completed the cycle......... playing for every team in the league !
-
His favorite target was that year was former Vikings Bob Grim.I think they all went to the Giants in the Tarkenton trade.
I also forgot about another Giant journeyman QB..... Randy Jonhson.
-
Forgot to say---in all fairness, Snead had a great year in'72 with the Giants, but the effects didn't last very long...
-
@6400az: I think that Cuozzo had retired:I know that he played for the Cards in '72, but that experience may have given him the final push to his dental practice..Snead got another chance in San Fran, but that was it for him...
How strange was the QB carousel in this game? First Tarkenton gets back at the Giants. Randy Johnson winds up on Washington in '75; Norm Snead is traded to San Fransisco in '74 the same day the Giants acquired Craig Morton.
