Bogart
Duke Mantee
Does anyone remember this guy, or seen this footage?
I've been thinking about running backs a lot recently, and Earl was always my favorite of all time.
With every what if scenario if players, I like to think What if they would have actually built an offense around this guy, instead of working him down. I've seen some old Oiler games from his time, and they ran the ball 80% of the time. Didn't have much of a quarterback, no wide receivers, nothing. Other than Earl, they had a good set of cornerbacks on the defense, but that was it. It sads me today what has become of his body from playing the game.
