that scene of kilmer hobbling off and sonny wobbling on is classic. but even on one good knee, sonny was the best pure passer in the history of the game.

Oh man, yea the sneaky ones can hurt you. An excellent example would be Max MCgee. I'll take yout word on Mathis and Troy Brown, but I don't know anything about them. Know little if anything about football outside the 60's and 70's.

@6400az The sneaky ones throughout history: from the decade of 00's-Troy Brown, 90s-Terrence Mathis, 80s-Leo Lewis, 70s-White Shoes Johnson (though more noticeably spectacular), late 60s to early 70s-Danny Abramowicz, to name but a few.

@6400az To be honest, everybody thinks so much of "strike fear with their deep speed ability". To me, sneaky players don't strike fear, but they can beat you if you turn your back on them, very dangerous in a sneaky way. Terrence Mathis and Troy Brown were like that.

@plntntvzn

That's true, much as we loved Ray Berry and Jimmy Orr, they did'nt exactly strike fear with their deep speed ability.

@6400az Yes, "thoroughbred catching traffic" is my idea of a "go-to guy". Jefferson was huge on giving the 1970 Colts something they had lacked during the 1960s.

@plntntvzn

Yep, great catch. A thouroughbred was Roy Jefferson.He palyed a huge part in helping the Colts get to, and win Superbowl V. He more than adequatley replaced Willie Richardson, who along with coach Shula, left the Colts for Miami after the 1969 season. He played one year with the Dolphings in 70'. Did'nt like it , and was back with the Colts in 71!

@6400az The catch @ 3:17 by Roy Jefferson is the epitome of catching in traffic

@trampledone The Redskins went to the playoffs in 71,72,73,74 and 76. They were good

[trampledone]

im a die hard skins fan but i was only 1 year old when this happened lol. i heard the skins were pretty bad back then except super bowl in 72.

@6400az no, i don't remember that. a scuffle i remember is when the great dick butkus did a leaping take-down that almost ripped the head off of a redskin in the 68 game--might have been jerry smith, or possibly a lineman. needless to say, after jumping up in a rage, the victim didn't want to pursue things any further with the legendary number 51.

i lived in texas for a couple of years when bullet bob hayes was blazing down the sidelines -- people today forgot how awesome a threat he was.
