🏈 Similar Plays, Decades Apart

[It Takes Eleven]

I just liked this and thought I'd share:





Linnie's run was better, but the play location and jersey number took me back.

Linnie was a talent but a pain for BEAR...attitude!

First play was a toss sweep and the second an ISO. Both dandy plays to run.

I have the show coach Bryant done the next day recorded and he says, "truly a great run by Linnie Patrick. What I'd give if I could reach that young man. "

I enjoyed watching those videos again. Thanks for sharing them. Good times and good memories.

I read a great article on Linnie not too long ago and of course being a much older guy he has a lot to regret on how he managed his short but volatile playing career. When he spoke of coach Bryant and how frustrating he was to coach he sounded a lot like "Red" going before the parole board one last time in the Shawshank redemption flick.
