1989

[Shane]

They just said on 98.7 that the cards haven’t had a 100 yard game from a TE since 1988? WTH My lord that is truly putrid.

They said that we’ve only had like 5 games since then where a TE topped 80 yards.

No wonder we are all so giddy over having Zach Ertz. Hoping he can snap that 100 yard streak.

Heard that as well.

That is a crazy level of ineptitude at the position

 

[kerouac9]

I think Jim Dray might have had a couple of 100-yard games.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Comes as no surprise to me. I mean, from whom would you have expected one since that season?

Freddie Jones, Todd Heap some random out of pure chance? Over thirty years…. Good lord lol

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

Jay Novacek?

Hines ended up being one of the most overrated players we’ve ever brought in. Heap was just done. I look at that position over the years and it comes as zero surprise to me.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Jay Novacek?

He was gone already because we had rob awalt.

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

He played 16 games both 88 and 89 for the Cards.

Yea he still haven’t reached his full potential and was splitting time iirc.

They are off by one year.

November 12th, 1989: Rob Awalt had six receptions for 105 yards in a 24-20 win over the Cowboys. The year the Cowboys went 1-15.

Look at you go…. lol…. Still incredible 88 or 89

Right?

Edited title.

Incredible how we have struggled to both use the TE properly and to defend TE's properly over the years.

We have had incredible TE's that starred in other places before or after coming here and we just couldn't figure out how to use them.

 

[ajcardfan]

Fred Wakefield didn't get 100 yds in his game?

Lol.

 

[BulldogCard]

Max Williams had over 100 yards earlier this season

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Maxx Williams had over 100 yards earlier this season

The closest he came was 7 catches for 94 yards vs. the Vikings.

This whole thread is full of misinformation (including mine - I have zero recollection of novacek playing for the cards in az- likely bc I didn’t get to see many cards games in college in Boston back then).

 

[Syracusecards]

I feel like Housler came close, didn’t he?

Jay played here in 88 and 89.

Yes that’s exactly what I was referring to in saying I posted misinformation. I thought that was obvious.

Yes it was obvious. Just going from memory. At my age I do that first and then check later. Sorry.
