Tetsujin Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Larry Little & Bob Kuechenberg for those 70's Dolphins teams are one of the best OG tandems in NFL history. Little is a HOF'er and Kooch should've been one. Kooch's teammates said he was the best on the OL that had 2 HOF'ers (C, Jim Langer in the HOF also) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably one of the few around here who was around to see these 3 guys (Fuzzy and Jerry Kramer) in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, you did?! Pretty lucky! I've seen those ol' time NFL Films of them, and even today that unstoppable Green Bay power sweep is a thing of beauty. They have on those films this symphonic music, and the stentorian voice of John Facenda narrating as grimly as though he were calling WW2: "Stahting deep in their own territoreh, the Packas mahched inexorably down the field, Stahh handing off to Hornung and Taylah, who followed the blocking of Kray-mah and Thuhs-ston in the famed Green Bay Powah Sweep, the drive culminating in a 12-yahhd touchdown pass from Stahh to Dowlah....." - the stuff of High Drama!

FalconFan13 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Give me some Larry Allen + Nate newton while they was together. I know it was a bit later in Newts career but he could still put down business with the best of em and larry was a beast for a couple of those seasons with him.

Maro Rivera & Mike Wahle were dominant in their time in GB, Sitton and Lang were warriors. Greenbay really doesn't like overpaying for their guards! Nicks & Evans were a fricken powerhouse too.

Aside from the year they won the Superbowl, the Saints routinely had one of the worst run games in the league.. They were good players, as far as keeping Brees clean, but I don't think they deserved most of the accolades they received at the time, and are certainly not one of the best combos ever.
