Larry Csonka

He has hit 69% of his passes during his winning streak as an all-time.

He has Kip and Saka split behind him.

Larry Saka up to the 25 of Miami.

Maybe nudging over Dave Grayson, the safety man, through a body block to trip him up.

Don Shula looking on seven years, a defensive player in the NFL with the Baltimore Colts.

But he's lost his footing.

There

goes Saka out.

You know, it, it reminds me of one of the all-time great moments.

You know, remember when Larry Csonka was hit so hard he was left paralyzed on the field?

Of course.

And instead of clearing away his body, they just left him there.

Yep

...

the middle, trips right over Larry Csonka's partially dead body.

Yep.

Yeah.

So actually, and that, that was the league where, uh, Larry Csonka, uh, Paul Warfield, and, and, uh, and Kleck, Keck, uh, they, they went to Memphis.

And ironically, my son played for Memphis in the USFL.

And they went to Memphis for the Memphis franchise of the, of the, uh, of the World Football League, and that was, oh, I think that was back whenever it was.

Instead, Giants offensive coordinator Bob Gibson called a more traditional running play.

Quarterback Joe Pisarcik botched an attempted handoff to legendary fullback Larry Csonka.

The ball took an odd high bounce off the turf, and Eagles defensive back Herman Edwards, yes, that guy, swooped in, grabbed the ball, and ran into the end zone for the shocking, unbelievable, game-winning, did-that-just-happen touchdown in a game that will forever be known as, quote, The Miracle at the Meadowlands.

Now, some quick postscripts, because they may be relevant to this Wolfpack scenario.

... from the football weekend, how does NC State lose a football game that way? That is the single most apocalyptic result, I believe I can argue without being a knee-jerker, in the history of football.

And I saw Herm Edwards grab a Larry Csonka football, uh, with the Giants at the end of a game that they were running the ball, and I think it was before the victory kneel, I believe.

I, I believe Mario Cristobal not kne- kneeling against Georgia Tech has-

He's off the hook, Cristobal

Uh, one play.

He recovered a fumble in the Meadowlands in a game that was over.

Larry Csonka was handed a ball, I believe it was before victory, uh, formation was event- invented.

That's how old a play it is, and it has been replaced, inexplicably, by a game between NC State and Vanderbilt in my mind.

The teal blue.

The ones from the '70s, Larry Csonka and those guys wore.

I like those ones.

Um, I'd say in hockey-

And-

He's, he's more in the style of Larry Csonka, Franco Harris, guys like that.

Uh, but by the way, this is just in.

No, no, no, no, Greg, but that's, that's the part that's not right, though.

He's got a 99-yard run.

He's got screen passes that are 80 yards.

That is not Larry Csonka.

That is not a guy who's just big and bruising.

Yeah.

Yeah ... than Earl Campbell, Tony Dorsett, Edgerrin James, Thurman Thomas, Larry Csonka, O.J. Simpson, Herschel Walker, Fred Taylor, LaShawn McCoy, Ricky Waters, Clinton Portis, and Steven Jackson, and he's a 30-year-old quarterback.

More rushing touchdowns than all of those guys.

That is-
