Jones was tight end size back then. today, he'd be a typical big WR but not then. our TE aaron thomas was maybe 220 at tight end; joe walton before him maybe 180-185 at TE. Bob Tucker who fllowed thomas may have been 230-235. BUT, Homer could fly. In Seven Days to Sunday, elliot assimov [sp??] quoted tark as saying throwing to homer was like throwing to a man with a butterfly net on a speeding mororcycle.
Let's also add some props for HC Allie Sherman whose wide open offense and willingness to let the boys play some ball out there also factored into Jones' and Tark's success. Our O put up points, but sadly the D gave up more back then. Jones was super though.
PS. I am proud to say I never sang 'goodbye Allie,' either at yankee stadium or at home watching on tv. I have never booed a Giant in my life. Win or lose, it's my team, your team, too, guys, I know. This season should be fun. Go Giants.
