e 1970 houston oilers finished at 3 10 1 and drew the 3rd pick in the 1971 draft dan pastorini they made marginal improvement to 4 9 1 in 1971 but the real gain that year was establishing pastorini as the starting quarterback after selecting pastorini with their first round pick they also drafted lynn dickey with their next pick the oilers also had veteran qb charley johnson who started 10 games in 1970 his first season with the oilers the 1971 season began with dickey starting games 1 3 with johnson in relief and johnson starting games 2 4 with pastorini in relief the net result 3 losses and 1 tie pastorini then started 8 of the final 10 games including all 4 of their wins 3 wins in the final 3 weeks his 1 qb status was sealed and johnson was shipped off to denver before the following season dickey also missed the 1972 season and never started more than 4 games in his remaining 3 years with the oilers as a team the oilers suffered through two 1 13 seasons before breaking even at 7 7 in 1974 charley johnson was the cardinals 10th round pick in 1960 and was their starting qb from 1962 66 and 1969 he backed up jim hart in 67 and 68 primarily because he was in the army for those 2 years and received weekend passes to play on sundays after 2 seasons with the oilers he was the broncos starting qb from 1972 74 and for part of 1975 joe dawkins was the oilers starting fullback as a rookie in 1970 after splitting the 71 season between the oilers and broncos he was the starting fullback for the broncos 1972 73 and giants 1974 75 before returning to the oilers in 1976 as a backup jerry levias was the oilers 2nd round pick in 1969 he started half the games as a rookie making his only pro bowl and every game in 1970 he played for the chargers from 1971 74 alvin reed was houston s starting tight end every season from 1967 to 1971 making 2 pro bowls in that time he also played for the redskins from 1973 75 glen ray hines played 8 seasons playing every game and starting all but 6 he was the oilers right tackle for 5 seasons then moved on to the saints for 2 years before finishing up with the steelers in 1973 roy gerela was the oilers 4th round pick in 1969 he played every game for the next 10 seasons 2 years with houston followed by 8 higher profile seasons with the steelers while with pittsburgh he made the pro bowl in 72 and 74 he finished his career with 9 games for the chargers in 1979 george webster was drafted in the first round by the oilers in 1967 he started every game for his first 3 years at left linebacker and was first team all pro each year he missed half of the 1970 season but returned in 71 to start 9 games he played part of 72 and all of 73 for the steelers before finishing up with 3 seasons for the patriots zeke moore was the oilers 5th round pick in 1967 he played 11 seasons all for the oilers and was a starting cornerback in all but 3 seasons a 9th round pick in 1967 ken houston went on to play 14 seasons and was his team s starting strong safety every year his first 6 were with the oilers followed by 8 with the redskins houston made the pro bowl every season but his first and last he was inducted into the hall of fame in 1986 spike jones was the oilers 4th round pick in 1970 burning a 4th pick for a punter they were 6 6 2 the previous season and gerela had done an adequate job of punting after just one season in houston jones spent 4 with the bills and 3 with the eagles to recap reed gerela webster moore and houston played regularly for the oilers in 1971 johnson was a backup and dawkins played half a season before he was traded to denver levias hines and jones had already moved on before 1971 posted by jim from downingtown at 2 28 am no comments labels houston oilers alvin reed charley johnson george webster glen ray hines jerry levias joe dawkins ken houston roy gerela spike jones zeke moore wednesday september 30 2020 cincinnati bengals wow i ve been very lax with my football card blogs for the past few weeks months years cardinals april 2014 bills july 2016 it seems like i should have posted something in 2018 well this bengals post has been sitting in draft mode since january 2018 as i recall i had it mostly completed when the blogger gremlins attacked in the middle of me typing something the cursor highlighted all the text therefore replacing everything with whatever character i last typed immediately autosave kicked in wiping out everything i did aargh i hate when that happens that happened a few times on my baseball blogs tommie agee joe rudi maybe others so since november 2012 i have been composing my baseball posts in word documents then pasting them into blogger i haven t learned that lesson yet for my football blogs so my new football blog format as detailed here is to scan the cards in groups of 8 or 9 to minimize the number of scans per post which is what is mostly holding me back seems odd that there s three offensive linemen in this set but not one running back or receiver in 1970 the franchise s 3rd season the bengals won their division with a so so 8 6 record in 1971 they fell to last place finishing at 4 10 the browns and steelers were much improved over 1970 the bengals had rookie sensation greg cook at qb in 1969 he tore a rotator cuff early in the season but continued playing through it he led the afl in passing but ruined his career in the process the bengals acquired virgil carter from the bears in 1970 and he piloted the team for 2 seasons 21 starts until ken anderson took over in 1972 carter only started 1 game in 1972 then after 2 seasons in the wfl joined the chargers in 1975 he played 1 game for them and 8 games no starts for the bears in 1976 bob johnson was the 2nd overall pick in the 1968 draft he played for 12 seasons all with the bengals and was their starting center for all but his last 2 seasons he made the pro bowl in his rookie year pat matson played for the broncos in 66 and 67 then was the bengals starting right guard from 1968 1974 you may recall that paul brown used messenger guards so there were 3 guards with regular playing time he finished his career in 1975 with the packers ernie wright was the chargers starting left tackle for their first 8 seasons 1960 67 acquired by the bengals in the expansion draft he started at lt for the next 4 seasons before returning to the chargers in 1972 horst muhlmann kicked for the bengals for six seasons 1969 74 and the eagles for 2 ½ seasons 1975 77 a soccer player from germany he passed away in his homeland in 1991 at age 51 royce berry was the bengals 7th pick in the 1969 draft he was their starting left end for 5 seasons then rode the bench in 1974 after missing the 1975 season with a broken wrist he played for the bears in 1976 steve chomyszak was drafted by the jets in 1966 he spent most of that season on the taxi squad only playing 2 games and missed the 1967 season with an ankle injury he played defensive end for the bengals from 1968 69 then was the starting right d tackle from 1970 72 after spending much of 1973 on the bench in the spring of 1974 chomyszak signed a contract with the wfl s philadelphia bell to play once the bengals 74 season ended a ticked off paul brown traded him to the bills where he saw no playing time and was cut early in the season bill bergey was the bengals 2nd round pick in the 1969 draft he started at middle linebacker for the next 5 seasons traded to the eagles he started at mlb later lilb from 1974 1980 except for missing all but 3 games in 1979 he made the pro bowl in his rookie season and in his first 5 seasons in philly ken avery was the giants starting right linebacker in 1967 and 1968 he played for the bengals from 1969 74 and was their starting right linebacker from 1970 72 he also played middle linebacker in 1974 he finished his career in 1975 with the chiefs lemar parrish was the bengals starting left corner from 1970 77 making 6 pro bowls in that time he was also the redskins starting left cornerback from 1978 81 making 2 more pro bowls and was named first team all pro in 1979 he was a backup for the bills in his final season 1982 posted by jim from downingtown at 9 43 pm
