Yeah, its funny how you tend to see these things when you watch the game on a replay. I never noticed him on the sidelines back years ago when I watched the game live. Of course, that was a long time ago, so I guess I wouldn't remember things like that.

The cheerleaders just didn't do it for me though. I definitely like our present day cheerleaders alot better!:-)

Seeing that reminded me of all sorts of players I used to love to watch...

Barry Wilburn man could he play...too bad his head just was never quite right.
Neal Olkewicz, Monte Coleman, and Mel Kaufman - talk about a group of workhorses and of course those two unstoppable Defensive Ends with Butz and Grant stuffing the middle....ahhh memories...

of course to paraphrase Rick Pitino..."those guys are not going to walk into Redskins Park next season."

I just miss linebackers who could cover passes downfield. I guess they were free too back then, since we had a great pass rush with Mann and Manley.

There is a lot of plays like the reverse and the counter gap that is still widely successful in today's NFL. Which is why it still puzzles me that people would say things like "the game has passed Joe Gibbs by" or "his type of offense is dead and buried...outdated." Neither have turned out to be true in my opinion. In fact, they talk about the speed of the game being so much faster today...but honestly, the only thing I can tell that would make today's game faster is less time on the play clock, rather than players evolving.

I was finally able to sit and watch the game on Tivo. Seeing Alvin Walton's ridiculus neckbrace that's obviously not preventing any neck injury, and remembering that a member of the Warpath uses Alvin Walton's Neckbrace as his screen name actually made me laugh out loud.

I also saw Dave Butz with the flesh colored forearm pads. I can remember using them back in the day. What ever happened to those? Does the forearm shiver no longer exist?
