    I remember Paul Krauss coming to Burnsville for an autograph session at a local store. What's amazing about his Int record is that it came in 14 game seasons. Also to note how much more passing there is now and yet nobody has topped the Krauss record.

    Jake Scott (13) was so valuable for those early 70’s Dolphins - defending passes, returning punts, and, man, could he tackle. He took out Terry Bradshaw (12) in that playoff game in Pittsburgh in ‘72.
    Bradshaw scored on the goal line play, but had to sit out the rest of the first half. Jake played big in the big games.

      Jake S. was mostly a backup quarterback and starting record setting, ball-hawking defensive back at GEORGIA, and at first quit UGA after his junior year and played in the CANADIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE for one season as strictly a flanker receiver and a kick returner.
      He also had been in the Marines before college, but never fought in VIETNAM..
      Meanwhile..
      Miami teammate BOB KUECHENBERG
      at first, played his first pro regular season in the other CFL= the minor/semi-pro circuit, the CONTINENTAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE.
      KUECHENBERG had a self-admitted attitude problem. His brother RUDY an old NFL’er himself, was fuming at him after BK was initially released.. ‘twas by PHILLY.
      It seems he quit the team because training camp “was a brutal hell”, he then was a fourth round draft pick, an ALL-AMERICAN O-LINEMAN(also played well on defense)from NOTRE DAME unceremoniously released. Next after being cut in camp by ATLANTA, came the CFL’s CHICAGO OWLS.
      But, better things were around the corner.
      BOTH should be in the HALL OF FAME…
      WHY AREN’T THEY?

    • @markgardner9460
      @markgardner9460  17 годин тому +1

      Thank you for providing terrific comments. I think that Scott's relatively short NFL career hurts his HOF chances. He retired after only nine years at age 33. Kuechenberg suffered from having so many other Dolphins offensive players already in the HOF I think. When one Guard or Tackle is inducted into the HOF from one team, it's nearly impossible for the other one to make it too. The exception are the Raiders Art Shell and Bob Brown who played together for only three years. Larry Little and Bob Kuechenberg played together from 1970 through 1980. I think that Kuechenberg playing in Little's formidable shadow hurts his candidacy.

    Coaches ruled teams back then, but Shula in particular, was not one to cross. I live in Miami, and recall that aside from Scott , he had several publicized spats with:
    -Otto Stowe
    -Mercury Morris
    -Duriel Harris
    -Neal Colzie
    -Loyd Mumphord
    *All were waived or traded.

    Parish had great instincts and closing quickness. Yeah, he's worthy of the HOF. Bryant was a long strider, slight and angular. He was tough and smart. Krause also a tough smart guy, didn't he block a few punts and kicks? Emmett Thomas was one hell of an athlete, could run, jump, he was fun to watch (unless he was playing against you). Riley excellent athlete, good player. Mel Blount was an exceptionally tough hard nose player as was Darden...Scott, definition of ball hawk.

    One of Ken Riley’s teammates and good friend, Charlie Ash, coached my 1977 freshman team’s defense. Both of them were highly intelligent, well-educated men (Riley was a Rhodes candidate). I believe both Riley and Ash were All Americans.
    Our JV football and basketball coach, John D Harris, was an All-American back on FAMU’s 1938(!) Black College National Championship team. He was a grumpy, stocky guy of few words who was nevertheless well-liked by all his players, black or white (this was the DEEP south). His teams always won, even when our varsity teams were awful.

I do believe he scored on a kick-off or punt return, but it was called back. See if you can find that out. Possibly against Dallas. If I'm right the Professor has a great memory.
