Re: Worthy of mention, too obscure for own thread
The Orange Crush defense. Craig Morton. Haven Moses and Rick Upchurch.I remember the 1977 season (12-2) and playoffs. Biletnikoff gets hurt in the first half of the AFC Championship, a big 'what if' for Raider fans.

You are right in your analysis, Joe. They drastically improved themselves, it might work. I don't think it will, but the chance of them winning a title went from near zero to significantly above zero.

Westbrook took 24 shots per game last season; PG-13 took 18, both career highs. Melo 17.8. I'll be surprised if Russ and Melo find a way to coexist offensively. Lotta talent, but they're gonna need more basketballs.
