in a 1977 article,
"I'll do anything I can get away with to protect my quarterback."
It was more than just a line with him. It was an attitude.
And it was one he instilled in a few others. I remember when he came to Buffalo...he talked about some of the younger lineman having talent, (i.e. Joe Devlin and Ken Jones). They just needed something.
And he gave it. In 1979, the Bills gave up 43 sacks. With basically the same line, with him filling in for the recently traded Joe D...they gave up 13 sacks in 1980.
That's what it came down to for him....it was about protecting his QB.
He had a rough ride after retiring. 9, count 'em 9 knee replacements, his wife was paralyzed due to an accident, and later in life, he couldn't remember the names of his 6 kids.
You know when he meets Merlin Olsen again in the great beyond, the first thing he's going to do is punch him in the gut.
For old times sake.

Loved the Chuck Knox teams. He was a great addition to the roster and very popular. RIP.
