You're listening to One-on-One with D.P on 93-7 The Ticket and The Ticketfm.com. Bye. I'm going to send you this tape. You're going to just highlight real. Listen, I'm going to do a throwback show because there are too many people. I'm old enough to remember the Cowboys, Giants, Cardinals, Redskins of the NFC East back in the day. And people want to say, if you ask a Cardinal Fair, who the greatest receiver is to play for the Cardinals,

they will say, rightfully so, Larry Fitzgerald, longevity, et cetera, et cetera. But number two on that list is Mel Gray and it's not close. Number three is Roy Green. You got to go back to the 70s and 80s and realize that Mel Gray was a problem. That the Jim Hart, Jim Otis, Terry Metcalf, Jackie Smith, Mel Gray, Roy Green,

Conrad Dobler, Dan Deirdorf Cardinals, were Larry Wilson at safety, one of the great safeties ever that we never talk about enough. Great era. That the giants in those eras of having guys like Doug Kotar, who just was a nuisance,

Ron Johnson before that, to remember that the receiver's Harold Carmichael at 6'8, 6'7 at Y receiver. Bach, can you imagine the 6'8 wide receiver? Right. Harold Carmichael would battle Nebraska's own Pat Fisher, who at 5 foot 9, would have these one-on-one battles with 6'8-Harel Carmichael

with Wilbert Montgomery and just there are levels to this thing. So I just sent Farley a highlight reel of Terry McCath. And Eric McCalf is underrated as well. His son is underrated. But Terry Matt Caff, for what he did, he revolutionized football, the way the running back position was utilized. Out of the backfield, he was elite special along the way. You can go back.

The AFC West was fire, man. It was, no, no, it was crazy. Because I'm older to remember the Mike Garrett, Ed Potalach, McVee, Lenny Dawson, Otis Taylor, Chiefs. Right? But that defense was. with Bobby Bell and Willie Lanier was insane. Bobby Bell was out there playing, playing, playing,

uh, boundary linebacker in high top red cleats. Willie Lanier was padded from, from fingertip to toe and would hit you with a machine, right? That Buck Buchanan, look, if you're going to talk about great defensive alignment, Buck Buchanan has to be early in the conversation.

Otherwise, the conversation is, is invalid. Right? the lynch days on the offices their side of the ball, the Raiders with Darrell Lomonaica and, you know, before Cliff Branch, Vernon Wells.

Wells was a deep guy. You talk about that they used tight ends in a different way. I mean, Casper, Dave Casper changed the way tight ends were used in the league. They had, you know, the Mark Van Egan era of running backs,

along with Clarence Davis and Smith, back in the day. that the Vikings, even before Chuck Foreman, you had the Bill Brown Osborne running back tandem, 41 and 30 out of the backfield. Even before Fran Targinton, there was the Joe Cap run with Gillum out on the outside, Gene Washington on the other side,

another Osborne at tight-in, and then the line across the board. Of course, they were known for the defensive front, but their offensive line was crazy. Mick Tinglehoff, of course, another Husker, manning the middle for the Vikings. There's tons of legend and legacy, and people will talk about the same great,

the current great legends, but before them were dudes, listen, there's no linebacker that's played for the chiefs after Derek Thomas that was in the league of Bobby Brown and Willie Lanier. Right? Roger Worley in that Cardinal secondary. Worley and they had Thompson, Thompson played corner, Worley, Wilson, and the group that was there.

And remember that that's the Bobby Moore Cardinal era, where before he became Ahmad Rashad, he was Bobby Moore. Right? And that you ran those dudes out there. Bob Brown, absolutely. Like, there's going to be a show. Like, we'll go back in time and we'll highlight. teams from previous years because people misread.

The current sports conversation is about the current greatness level of greatness. And the numbers are changed and the game has changed. But they're players. I forget who I was having the conversation with. They were talking about whether what players today, what players from the past could play with today's players? And then the conversation quickly flipped to, nope. The real question is how many of today's players could go back and play in time?

And there aren't that name. We were talking baseball. That's what we were talking about. But the same impasseur football. Not they all couldn't. Bob Brown would destroy today's Husker line in full. Y'all be good. Don't go anywhere.
