Yes I did.. but right behind my loathing of Quarterbacks is offensive lineman... lol... holding bastards anyway.

But at least they had to battle it out and rarely got any special treatment that the glory boys got. ;)

Punters and Kickers knew their role upon the team.. and even they didn't have to don those pretty red jerseys.. lol.

Wait. Are you being sarcastic? I always thought you were OL. Didn't know you were DL.

I never met an OL I didn't like. If there's one group who sacrifices for the team without getting any glory...

Once made SI's cover as the dirtiest player in pro football. "I see defensive linemen jump to knock a pass down," he said after he retired. "When that happened near me, I'd smack 'em in the solar plexus, and that got their hands down real quick. It's as if nobody wants to see anybody else get injured." Dobler didn't care who got hurt. He punched Mean Joe Greene, he kicked Merlin Olsen in the head, he bit, he gouged, and once, he spit on a downed and injured opponent, the Eagles' Bill Bradley.

In camps I pretty did much of the same.. however focused at DE and OLB.

I was a better defensive player and offensive player.. but I spent a ton of time studying the habits of offensive lineman. Footwork.. jabs, hand placement verses the leverage you could generate against their traits.

WPR - Nope. Never heard of him.

I'm talking about real life. The guys I knew who played OL in college were always good people. I had a boss once also who was a C. Good guy, always stuck up for us against upper management. A former OT who played against some guys who made the NFL recently tried to get me to move to his company (would have loved to, but it would mean relocating). Would love to work for him.

Pack - OK. You probably told me this before. Just forgot.

Thus I tell you geezers who I wish I was older as you got to see the Lombardi years. All I knew were losing seasons (except for '82 and '89) until Favre got here.
