TO THE REITSKIIIS A SPECIAL HISTORlCAL 1 \ rf i) tr "We always hated the Dallas Cowboys," Jennifer Allen, George Allen's daughter, wrote in her 2000 book Fifth Quarter: The Scrimmage of a Football Coach's Daughter. "And now, with the Cowboys in the Redskins'division, we hated them even more." But enmity would not suffice for defeating the Cowboys,losers in Super Bowl V the year prior. With no patience for inexperienced players, the defensive-minded Allen revamped his Redskins fff& by acquiring a stream of savvy, tough veterans known as the "Over the Hill Gang." Washington %f' proceeded to shock the Cowboys 20-16 early in the 191 1 season en route to qualifying for the @" playoffs for the first time in a quarter century. The €g eventual Super Bowl champion Cowboys won the {d; .. rematch at RFK Stadium, and the teams split in Lt*"rrr = the regular season in l9T2before playing each wx other again in the NFC championship game at RFK. By then, Allen had elevated the rivalry to an * even higher level. He whipped his players into a fury by stressing his loathing of Dallas and its pompous reputation, while the Cowboys accused ry the coach and his staff of spying on practices. There were also charges of dirty play. The end #& result was a mutual feeling of animosity. The animated Allen also motivated his troops using the austere and stone-faced Landry as the centerpiece, sometimes going to the Streak Buster:The Redskins won ru extreme. Case in point: Allen, who took karate lessons with marlial arts expert Jhoon the 2002 season finale. lt was Rhee, chopped board after board in a team meeting to show what he could do to Darrell Green's emotional farewell, Landry during a game. "That was just his way of saying to us, 'Get ready,"' former Redskins safety Brig Owens says. "If it came between the fl two of us at the 50-yard line, I'd be a little older but in better shape. He was saying it was all about preparation. If you work harder, and you're better prepared than your opponent, then you can win. He was a great motivator, one of the greatest motivators of all time." Allen also tapped one of his treasured veterans, defensive tackle Diron Talbert, to make comments to the press intended to rattle Staubach, a Naval Academy graduate with a goody-goody image. Talbert, a Texas native, obliged by saying the Cowboys' quarterback "wears skirts" or "can't read defenses," among other inflammatory remarks. "Those things kind ofworked," Staubach says. "George believed you distract the other team by saying things, and Landry wouldn't allow us to say anything." Prior to the championship game, Talbert said Lanclry should start Cowboys quarterback Craig Morton over Staubach, who had missed the 1972 season with a shoulder injury until retuming to lead a miracle comeback in the first round of the playoffs. Landry opted to start Staubach and even tossed a needling remark at Redskins quarterback Billy Kilmer, saying ihe'Cowboys had the edge because the mobile Staubach was a better athlete than Kilmer, who was known for his wobbly passes.

  • 1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER the Following Players Comprise the 1967 Season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set
    1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER The following players comprise the 1967 season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards.

    PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2019-2020 EDITIOn SEATTLE SEAHAWKS Team History When the Seattle Seahawks took the field for the first time in the 1976 season, it marked the culmination of a quest for a National Football League franchise that had its roots in the Pacific Northwest metropolis as early as 1957. That is when discussion first began about the possibilities of constructing a domed stadium that would assure a major league sports franchise for the city. On June 4, 1974, the NFL awarded its 28th franchise to Seattle to play in the 64,984-seat Kingdome. A civic suggestion campaign netted 20,365 entries and 1,741 different names, but “Seahawks” was selected and announced on June 17, 1975. Just a little more than two months later, after a 27-day sale, the season ticket campaign was shut off with 59,000 tickets sold. On January 3, 1976, Jack Patera, who had been a Minnesota assistant coach, was named the team’s first head coach. The Seahawks finished 2-12 in 1976, when they played in the NFC, and 5-9 in 1977, when they moved into the AFC. The Seahawks had winning 9-7 records in both 1978 and 1979 and Patera was named NFL Coach of the Year the second year. The strike-shortened 1982 season proved to be a transitional year for all of pro football, but no club fit the transitional description better than the Seahawks. Patera was removed after six-plus years as head coach. Mike McCormack finished the season as interim head coach and then was replaced in 1983 by Chuck Knox, who guided the Seahawks to an 83-67-0 record in nine seasons up through the 1991 campaign.
