Giants vs. Rams: Oct. 28, 1979 game note:
Larry Brooks broke through the NY Giants offensive line wrapped his arms around QB Phil
Simms, dug his helmet into Simms chest and buried him into the ground. Phil Simms
was on the sideline out for a few plays with the wind knocked out of him.
| Nothing fancy about Larry
Brooks, he just used a bull rush to break through lines. Larry Brooks and Jack
Youngblood always seemed to be involved in tackles together. |
