Early .......hey Alen Bailey, thanks for responding! Early in his career Richie P. showed a burst of speed, and with his instincts and long strides covered plenty of ground. By '68 seeing him in the Coliseum against the Rams he was still one helluva run stopper, and still a fine pass defender since he was savvy/smart. Dooley did not like him, and he still played solid football for the Rams, and 'Skins under Allen. He is one of my all-time favorites. Have a letter from him that I cherish, and he was really entertaining in interviews for Steve Sabol. Is he Hall of Fame caliber....no, but damn close. You win with guys like Richie P.

John Unitas felt he was a quality lineman as well for different teams.<br /><br />Alot of players on this team who have HOF cases including Dowler, Randle, Davis, Pettibon, Meador and Parrish as a player advocate/contributor. Dial had a case until going to Dallas where his career died. Guys, how good was Floyd Peters as a player ? Did the Browns get rid of him too soon which seems to be the Paul Brown way ?Brian wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176802893733052733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958997061437462003.post-28087435475720905732022-03-29T15:29:35.102-06:002022-03-29T15:29:35.102-06:00How much speed did Petibon have and could he range...How much speed did Petibon have and could he range deep?alen baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09948457335469361491noreply@blogger.com
