Allan there was a brief time when the bolts had kelcher, big hands johnson and fred dean on the d line… nice…
too bad they had a secondary with guys like elvis patterson and vincie glenn… [/quote]
SDR: Yeah, that was definitely a suspect secondary. We had Raiders seasons tickets back then, and the Raiders – Chargers game in Oakland was my favorite. Stabler versus Fouts and whichever team had the ball last, won.
I remember watching that 1981 Chargers – Dolphins AFC Divisional game with my dad and I was sure that the Chargers would be in the Superbowl that year. Dan Fouts is arguably one of the best QBs to never go to the Superbowl. Of course, I have a soft spot in my heart for old Dan, him being a former 49ers ball boy and St. Ignatius HS (San Francisco) alumnus. His dad, Bob Fouts, was the voice of the 49ers for years.
