Jim Otto was GREAT. I'm from Oakland and saw EVERY game he played in. Thank you Mr. Otto.
I remember Jim Otto after he retired. The poor man's knees were so banged up that he could only put his pants on by placing them over his calves and lying on his back on the bed and then pulling them up to his waist by arching his back. He spent the last years of his life in a wheelchair. He was a heck of a player though, one of the best linemen ever. Remember Kevin Hardy as a backstay of the Fighting Irish of the 1960's. Solid defensive player in both college an the pros. Bob Avellini had the misfortune to play on some mediocre teams and never go the kind of protection one would expect from an O line for much of his career. Sorry to hear of his passing as I remember his years with the Bears.
Always liked Mr Otto even though I'm not a Raiders fan
Joe Collier, architect of the Orange Crush defense, and innovator of the 3-4 defense. Randy Gradishar, who FINALLY is going into the HOF this year said if it wasn't for Joe Collier he wouldn't be going into the Hall. Sad that Joe will not be able to see him enshrined.
Big Broncos game here and I started watching them when the orange crush wss prominent
Jim Otto was MR AFL. God bless him. RIP
I wore double 0 in basketball because of Jim Otto.
Nonectougher tham Mr. OTTO. R.I.P.
I remeber Jim Otto very well. Otto was the anchor to the line and rhe complete OL. He never let the quarterback out to dry. He played hurt and bruised a lot of the time. There will never be anyone like him in the future.
