Weeb wanted him under 300, though Plunkett was still decent in pass protection. After Werblin left the Jets, Weeb knew the other owners didnt know anything about football and got tougher with his team making great decisions like going to Hofstra and brining in Parilli and Talamini.<br /><br />Jim I got my Baltimore #24 Moore jersey ... its cool.Brian wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03887742217457349700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958997061437462003.post-83830156368702189112020-11-17T10:48:25.124-07:002020-11-17T10:48:25.124-07:00Brian, I'm no Jets expert (except for that inf...Brian, I'm no Jets expert (except for that infamous date in Jan. 69) and can't speak about Wilder, Harris, or Paulson, but what I recall about Sherm Plunkett was that he got so heavy at the end of his career he slowed to the point where he couldn't cover the edge rush....? thoughts?<br />JHoltgymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13751235587015111105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958997061437462003.post-72653785286841467132020-11-16T10:40:54.764-07:002020-11-16T10:40:54.764-07:00Thanks JM ... seems to hurt Art Powell, Charlie He...Thanks JM ... seems to hurt Art Powell, Charlie Hennigan and Goose Gonsoulin as well.<br /><br />Despite success, Buck Shaw is overlooked as a AAFC head coach but Motley, Speedie and Lavelli for the winning Browns, had most of their success in the league and make the HOF.Brian wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03887742217457349700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958997061437462003.post-65542447206128518122020-11-16T06:19:42.851-07:002020-11-16T06:19:42.851-07:00Love Haynes and agree he had HOF potential, but it...Love Haynes and agree he had HOF potential, but it's unlikely he'd make it due to his peak seasons being the early AFL years ...

Would love to find one of those vintage helmets with Jet/Airplane logo ...<br /><br />If older Jet fans have the answer, would like to know this question ?<br /><br />Don Maynard once talked about certain players that let the team down in 1967 and kept them from winning the division. He mentioned Ewbank letting them go in 1968 ... Who were those players ?<br /><br />Bert Wilder ?<br />Sherman Plunkett ?<br />Jim Harris, others ?<br />Did Dainard Paulson retire due to injuries ?<br /><br />A great rebirth to the Raiders organization as well. John Rauch was an excellent offensive coach for this team.<br /><br />The Chiefs had a terrible year with the death of Stone Johnson and a disappointing year from Abner Haynes, who would have made the HOF had he stayed in KC his entire career.<br />Brian wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03887742217457349700noreply@blogger.com
