for the record, I am looking for the following three players:

NY RB:
PHI CB:

You are correct on both #2 and #3.

3. Jay Novachek and Shannon Sharpe

Partial credit?

5) Jerry Rice and ...

6- joe pisarcheck(sp) qb giants tried to hand the ball off to joe morris? and heman edwards picked it up for philadelphia and ran it in

Obviously, Jerry Rice is one of the 2 answers for #5.

Pisarcik and Herm Edwards are correct for #6. Nobody has answered the RB part yet.

4) Faulk, TD, Eddie George, Emmit Smith

Subby, very good guesses. Too bad the only two you got are:

Faulk and TD.

#5

Well, Jerry Rice and Walter Payton? Payton played at Jackson State but maybe I missed something...

And #4...

Mar Tay Jenkins, Marshall Faulk, Barry Sanders, and Terrell Davis?

Dutch, you struck out there.

Payton is not correct, nor is Jenkins and Sanders.

Sorry.

...but there's a nice consolation prize....thanks for playing! :)

#4 Jamal Anderson

--> 1998 was the only Atlanta good year ! How come no Atlantian has responded yet

1. Rich Gannon

#4 : Is the 4th one Fred Taylor ?

Jamal is correct for #4, still one more player to go.

Rich Gannon is correct for #1

Here are the unanswered questions:

4) Jerry Rice and ?????
5) Davis, Anderson, Faulk and ??????
6) NY RB

Marmel, can I cheat now ? It is late in the afternoon here in France.

Seriously, I have no idea of what happened to football before Joe Montana, so 1978 Giants...

5 - Jermaine Lewis?

Correct on the Giants RB!

4.) C. Martin or R. Smith?

I have no idea, I need a clue, what decade did he play in?

Obscure 14th-round draft pick, 1961 ... Among first of fast, tough, mobile defensive linemen ... Noted for clean, but hard-hitting play ... Specialized in quarterback "sacks", a term he invented ... Innovative, quick-thinking, flamboyant ... Unanimous all-league six straight years, 1965-1970 ... Played in eight Pro Bowls ... NFL Defensive Player of Year, 1967-1968.

DOB: 12/09/1938 ... Birthplace: Eatonville, FL ... High School: Hungerford (Orlando, FL) ... Drafted: 14th round (186th overall) by Los Angeles Rams in 1961 ... Uniform Number: #75 (also wore 81)

PHI CB = Current Jets Head Coach.

Dola.....whoops...didnt see that you guys already got that one.

Deacon Jones.

Well, the last name is Jones, but I do not see him referenced as 'Deacon' anywhere. His name does start with a 'D' though....

Ok, David "Deacon" Jones.

Yeah David Jones.

I did some research and never saw the Deacon reference. That is good information, thanks cuervo!

And as always, excellent job on answering all the questions.

I hardly ever hear it as David....btw, that was one grande clue.

Honestly, it was not my own question, and I am not all that familiar with pre 80's football or the players, so I do a bit of research before I post the questions, and.....well, you get the picture.

Understandable. Keep up the good work, these are good exercises.

What gets me is how many countless times I must have seen the Miracle in the Meadowlands clip (being from Philly and everything), and I couldn't even remember that Czonka was in the backfield....
