didnt some team back in the 70s sign a real tall guy just for the purpose of blocking kicks?

a quick quick google search didnt reveal anything but i did come across this gem of an idea the chiefs used back in the day where they would put this real tall dude (stroud) who would stand at the goal post and jump up and try to block a field goal if it was close to the cross bar.

on those long kicks, why not? it would take away one of the 11 guys trying to block the kick at the LOS and long kicks are easier to block since the kicker needs a lower trajectory to go the distance but still .. i could see someone doing that again.

Only a true Skins fan can justify signing Yao Ming. Props!
