1976 Pro Bowl

WSUCougar · 01-09-2006, 04:09 PM

Co-worker brought in his original program from the 1976 Pro Bowl (1975 season), Very cool to paw through it...sort of like a time warp.

Anyway, I thought it'd be kind of fun to do an informal quiz to see how many Pro Bowler you guys can come up with (starters and reserves). NO CHEATING!!!

QB Terry Bradshaw

DE Jim Marshall?

SFL Cat · 01-09-2006, 04:13 PM

Either Jim Hart or Roger Staubach for the NFC

WSUCougar · 01-09-2006, 04:14 PM

Yes on Staubach, no on Marshall.

Yes, both...and Hart was the starter at QB for the NFC.

SFL Cat · 01-09-2006, 04:15 PM

A lot of Cardinals, I would think, especially on the OL
Dierdorf, Dobler are the only two I can think of off the top of my head.

At RB...maybe Terry Metcalf, at FB Jim Otis, maybe Jackie Smith at TE

WSUCougar · 01-09-2006, 04:16 PM

This was the 6th Pro Bowl, by the way, and was coached by Chuck Knox (NFC) and John Madden (AFC).

stevew · 01-09-2006, 04:16 PM

Franco Harris, Jack Lambert I would think. Also probably Joe Greene.

Mustang · 01-09-2006, 04:17 PM

A few guesses...

P - Ray Guy
LB - Youngblood
QB - Tark
RB - Riggins
WR - Swann
OL - Webster

Hmm....

SFL Cat · 01-09-2006, 04:17 PM

I think Denver's Otis Armstrong was the starting RB for the AFC.

WebEwbank · 01-09-2006, 04:18 PM

Lambert, Blount, Greene and Greenwood for the Steelers.

Very good! All but Smith were there. You're missing 4 other Cardinals, who with Hart make an impressive NINE Pro-Bowlers .

Hmm....

I'm not sure but I think 76 might have been Guy's first season.
The only others on your list who might have made it are Tark, Swann and Webster.

Only other Cardinal who stands out in my memory is DB Roger Wehrli (sp?).

WSUCougar · 01-09-2006, 04:23 PM

Yes:
Franco Harris
Jack Lambert
Joe Greene
Greenwood
Blount
Ray Guy
Lynn Swann
Youngblood
Riggins (as a Jet, of course)

No:
Webster
Tarkenton
Armstrong

Yup!

Surtt · 01-09-2006, 04:24 PM

Chuck Forman?

WSUCougar · 01-09-2006, 04:25 PM

Funny sidenotes:

Car ads in the program include the new VW Rabbit and the Cordoba, which Ricardo Montalban is calling "the small Chrysler" with its (everybody say it with me) RICH CORINTHIAN LEATHER.

SFL Cat · 01-09-2006, 04:25 PM

Some others

Ahmad Rashad for the Vikes
Gene Upshaw and Art Shell from the Raiders
I'm sure there were probably some Dolphins from the Offensive Line and Defense (probably no skill players though)
Ditto for the Cowboys -- Maybe WR Drew Pearson.

Drawing blanks now....I'll have to break out my APBA cards when I get home!

WSUCougar · 01-09-2006, 04:27 PM

Upshaw and Shell, yes, but no Rashad or Drew Pearson.

By the way, Chuck Foreman led the NFC with 73 receptions, at that time the most ever for a RB, was #2 in rushing behind Otis, and scored 22 TDs.

Reminds me of a classic Tonight Show episode.

(paraphrase)

Johnny Carson: Im curious, what the hell is Corinthian Leather?

Montalban: (shrugs) I have no idea. It's something the writers came up with.

Mustang · 01-09-2006, 04:28 PM

I'd have to assume Staubach and Stabler would be in there too.. and Casper...

How about for a kicker - Ypremian..

Nope (other than Staubach).

The AFC had a HOF kicker, though.

Surtt · 01-09-2006, 04:34 PM

how about Tony Dorset?
Or was that a little early?

I frequently use another Tonight Show episode from that era in a class I teach - the class is on research methods and this episode has to do with the debunking of Uri Geller by James Randi and Johnny Carson (but that's another story). One of the guests sitting on the sofa when Uri gets up to the desk is Ricardo Montalban. I always make a point of pausing the video and asking my students to identify who he is - and much to my chagrin my last two classes have all completely failed to figure out who he is.

My students are making me feel very, very old.

They failed despite providing them with the Rich Corinthian Leather hint. Some students get it after I shout out "De Plane! De Plane!" - but nowhere near enough. Most figure it out when I scream "KHAN!" - but I still have to explain the hints I use to too many students.

Damn them. Damn them for making me feel old.

One season too early, I believe.

WSUCougar · 01-09-2006, 04:41 PM

A few NFL records set during that 1975 season:

Most seasons played (26), games played (340), points (2,002), FGs/Atts (335/638), PATs/Atts (943/959), and INTs thrown (277), all by George Blanda
TDs in a season (23), OJ Simpson
Career passes (5,225), completions (2,931), passing TDS (291), all by Fran Tarkenton
Career receptions (635), Charley Taylor
Season combined yards (2,462), Terry Metcalf

Hurst2112 · 01-09-2006, 04:41 PM

Payton? would it be his second year?

and, if you have LC, you got to have his Miller Lite counterpart...

Bert Jones?

No and no. The AFC has a very prolific QB you guys are missing.

Hurst2112 · 01-09-2006, 04:44 PM

stabler? that's the only other guy i can think of that wasn't mentioned.

WSUCougar · 01-09-2006, 04:44 PM

Here's a trip. Two Raider assistants from Madden's staff:

Tom Flores (WRs)
John Robinson (backfield)

And Ram assistants from Knox's staff:

Tom Catlin (LBs)
Ray Malavasi (DC)

Hurst2112 · 01-09-2006, 04:45 PM

sorry, didn't read the previous post about stabler

Nope. This guy was a true maestro of the QB rating.

that was my "I think".

clintl · 01-09-2006, 05:55 PM

As I was scrolling down, I was going to guess that Cedrick Hardman at DE from the 49ers might be on the list. Perhaps RB Delvin Williams or FB Wilbur Jackson from the 49ers as a reserve?

Sweed · 01-09-2006, 07:10 PM

A few names that come to mind..( I glanced over the other lists so I'll try not to repeat but some will slip through)

Lawrence McCutcheon RB
Tom Mack G
Harold Jackson WR
Jackie Slater T (was he playing yet?)
James Harris QB
Bob Lilly DT
Jan Stenerud K
Calvin Hill RB
Dave Elmendorf S
Mick Tinglehof C
Ron Yary T?
Jeff Siemon MLB
Mel Renfro CB
Jake Scott S
Nick Bouniconti MLB
Mean Joe Green DT
Cliff Branch WR
Carl Eller DE
Fred Dryer DE
Jethro Pugh DL (can't remember if a DT or DE)
