MadMonkey Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I think there were 3 sets of father-son combos that played for the Skins....it def wasn't Eric and Terry Metcalf, or Joe Sr, and Jr Krakoski. So that would leave Joe and Frank Walton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that would leave Joe and Frank Walton Bingo. That was quick. In 1957, rookie end Joe Walton earned a spot on the Redskins roster. As his dad, Frank 'Tiger' Walton, had played for the Redskins offensive line in the 1940's, they became the first father-son combination to play in the NFL.* *Source: Cooking With The Skins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMonkey Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 at the deaf college so the other team couldn't steal the plays. That deaf college would be Gallaudet University, exactly....... other teams were stealing their signs so the coach had the players huddle up.

grhqofb5 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 That deaf college would be Gallaudet University, exactly....... other teams were stealing their signs so the coach had the players huddle up. True, this was the first time the "huddle" was used in a football context. However, the term huddle originated in ancient mesopotamia, where men would "huddle" in the local markets so as to conceal the identity of the true thief of the olives.

Mark The Homer Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 The '75 game Kilmer got in on a QB sneak right Bingo again. On November 2, 1975, at RFK, QB Billy Kilmer dove in from the 1 yd line for the winning TD at 6:34 in overtime. Kilmer had passed to Jerry Smith at the 2 min warning for a TD to send the game into overtime. The Cowboys won the OT toss, but on their 5th play, Roger Staubach was intercepted by Ken Houston. Staubach was hit with a 15 yd personal foul and the Redskins got the ball on the 35. Nine plays later, Kilmer sent the frenzied crowd home happy.

Mark The Homer Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 How old is your source? The Skins Cowboys game from 1999 went into OT. You're right. My source was printed in 1987, but I checked this website and nothing showed on the main screen - a minor error. But further review showed that the home game indeed was an overtime game in 1999. I remember that game, I was there, it was a beautiful warm sunny day and we took a huge lead early in the game. Then Aikman brought the Cowboys back. And I remember that pass to Rocket Ismail (sp?), and I knew that ended the game. But I couldn't recall that it was over time. But it was a heartbreaker. http://www.jt-sw.com/football/pro/results.nsf/Teams/1999-was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
