Roger Wehrli: Hall of Famer


Congratulations to former St. Louis Cardinal Roger Wehrli, who was inducted into the Football Hall of Fame yesterday in Canton, Ohio. He was one of the few bright spots on those dismal Cardinals teams that I lived and died with every week in the late 70's and early 80's. I think they finished 5-11 for about ten years in a row. Wherli was probably one of the last white guys that could competently cover wide receivers. Brothers are just too fast for that now. Hell, even Jason Seyhorn in his absolute prime probably couldn't even cover me; I would have juked him out of his draws.
