Big Blue Huddle

for a one game achievement

Shofner had 269 Yds Against the Wash Redskins in 1962
(Del was smooth as glass with hands of steel)

Tying him with Tyreek Hill for spot #14

Even more incredible is Jim Benton of the Rams who in 1945 went for 303 yds

Flipper Anderson is #1 at 336 yds in one game.  Last time I saw him he was running straight through the tunnel after destroying our season in one play

What this Puka Nacua kid did in shedding that tackle is what he is famous for- shedding tackles.  You would think we would have warned our DBs to wrap him up and forget swatting at the ball. One scout described him as a virtual Larry Csonka once he has the ball in his hands.  Explosive runner
incredible hand eye co-ordination and hand strength

Another scout called him another Debo Samuel.  I wonder if he was even on our draft board

Looks like few members remember Shofner. You guys are making me feel old :'(

Hi Bob. Happy and Properous New Year!

I can still see Shofner making those cuts for the down and out to the sideline
Ball waiting for him when he got to that spot.  It was Auto Matic

You dont see that pass as much anymore

There were so many players from that era I'd love to have back.
Joe Morrison, Alex Webster (met him at his bar in Spring Lake NJ), the whole Oline, Stroud (met him too as a waiter in NJ, his back muscules looked like two slabs of beef, Rosie Brown, Rosie Greer, Wytecha, Sam Huff (hated Sherman for trading Huff), Homer Jones, and on and on
