I caught myself thinking a bit poorly of Eddings as I watched this but then I realized that I would cry to even step out on that field to play a game in the NFL. I'm glad that even for a week, Eddings must have felt like THE MAN. Even though his career was short lived, that's something that I'll never get to experience and that brings a smile to my face because rarely does the average NFL player stand out at all.
Cardinals had a similar player in the mid 90's named LeShon Johnson. He gained 214 yards against the Saints in 1996 but otherwise never has a 100 yard game and his career total was a little over 700 yards. Then, of course, there was Timmy Smith. 204 yards in the Super Bowl and was basically never heard from again.
The wide receivers on the 1982 Giants should have been practicing holding their hands sideways in front of their faces, as they had a bad habit of getting poked in the eye. I guess they weren't huge fans of the Three Stooges.
You know your NFL career is pretty uneventful when one of the highlights JaguarGator9 uses is a catch and run that was called back for a penalty (at 11:17)
I remember Pisarcik. I was just a little kid then, and not even a NY Giants fan, but thought 'Off-Broadway Joe' wasn't all bad....but it sounds like your memory of the Giants is way better than mine.
The '82 Giants had some solid offensive players: Butch Woolfolk, Rob Carpenter, Earnest Gray, Leon Bright. And Brunner was 16th among qualified NFL QBs with 73.9 rating. Not great, but Jim Plunkett was 14th with 77.0 rating. Of course he had Marcus Allen.
Eh, Larry Brown was a competent starter for several seasons before his Super Bowl performance. Smith was an unknown before his big game, but he did start most of the next season. David Tyree was a Pro Bowl special-teamer before the Helmet Catch. You want a true one-game wonder? How about Percy Howard?
I'm not a cowboy fan but I can tell you don't know football because Larry Brown was a starting quarterback on the 92, 93, 94 and 95 Dallas Cowboys. So he wasn't a one-hit wonder because he actually was a starter unlike Timmy Smith 🤦🏿
@@pp3k3jamail - Timmy Smith was the Redskins’ top running back in the 1988 season. It didn’t go well, but he was a starter for awhile after his big moment.
This was an interesting season for the Giants. Floyd Eddings did well the first time he touched the ball, while Fullback Leon Perry fumbled the last time he touched the ball, and the Falcons returned it for a touchdown. This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about Perry’s fumble. Also, why was there a two-year gap in Eddings’ Cal career?
I remember after this game my other Giants fan friends and I kept repeating his name in school. I remember Eddings distinctly, but the funny thing is that if this was the 1:00 game on Saturday I wouldn't have even seen him play.
I’m surprised that you didn’t even mention your Earnest Gray video like you had done in multiple occasions (including that you did this twice in this video alone.)
Oh great,Scott Brunner highlights 😂 Think about the fact that Simms threw for 37,000 yards in a run first offense and his best receiver was Mark Bavaro,a Tight End.
Rob Carpenter got screwed,he was a good back and they let him go after 85,but Morris had to be the #1 back,and Carthon was a beast as a blocker after running for 1,000 yards with Herschel on the USFL Generals
STILL I think that the New York Giants are BETTER OFF SPIKING the BALL into the ground on EVERY single OFFENSIVE play!!!! They will ALWAYS be 39.6 to ME!!!!
Eddings had anuther big vs the Chargers w/ Dan Fouts in 82. lt was a rainy day at Giant St.They could not have won w/o him. Lots of big catches, chk. da tape .

Man, that ad read sounded so natural for you (seriously, they gave you the least natural script when compared to Thrive Fantasy)
Eddings' game against the Eagles is the only NFL regular season game i've attended.
Who were you rooting for?

I love that you mentioned Rick Updog.

Very interesting video. That was a fantastic recap of a story. Great job, as always
There would have been a huge rush at the fantasy waiver wire for Eddings after his game against Philadelphia...

Wow, stories that nobody knows!!!! Great one!!!
Great show, enjoy your channel and these short anecdotes..

5:40 to 6:00 20 seconds of unreal tackling #28 for Washington literally does his best Superman impression on the Giants receiver 😳
Jonas Gray says hello.
FYI Scott Brunner was an absolutely awful NFL QB, though he was slightly better than Joe Pisarcik

@@67marlins LOL "Off Broadway Joe"

@@NJGuy1973 Agreed, Brunner had an average 1982 season, but definitely an outlier statistically compared to his 1980-81 and 1983 seasons
@@misterresister8271 Yeah, and it fooled the Giants into thinking he could be a starter.
If you like one shot wonders. You need to check out Quentin McCord. Week 15 of 2002, 7-182-1td. 42% of his career yardage is that one game.
Great channel
If you're gonna be a one game wonder, be Timmy Smith or Larry Brown.
Eh, Larry Brown was a competent starter for several seasons before his Super Bowl performance.
Smith was an unknown before his big game, but he did start most of the next season.
David Tyree was a Pro Bowl special-teamer before the Helmet Catch.
You want a true one-game wonder? How about Percy Howard?
Best one game wonder was Clint Longley.
I could tell you don't know football cuz Larry Brown was a starting cornerback on the 1992-93 '94 and 95 Cowboys.
I'm not a cowboy fan but I can tell you don't know football because Larry Brown was a starting quarterback on the 92, 93, 94 and 95 Dallas Cowboys.

I dig it when they spike it like RU did at 00:46.
Loved this one
Dude used all his prime years in one game.

This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about Perry’s fumble.
Also, why was there a two-year gap in Eddings’ Cal career?
He played in 1980 as well, took a redshirt in 1979 due to injury
He also spiked the ball into the ground in order to have a higher rating.
Do a video on the Draft day trade between Eli Manning and Phillip Rivers
I remember after this game my other Giants fan friends and I kept repeating his name in school. I remember Eddings distinctly, but the funny thing is that if this was the 1:00 game on Saturday I wouldn't have even seen him play.
We could really use that o line we had!!
I’m surprised that you didn’t even mention your Earnest Gray video like you had done in multiple occasions (including that you did this twice in this video alone.)
I see him burning Everson Walls, Darrell Green and a few more.
Oh great,Scott Brunner highlights 😂

Can you do Kevin Olgelltree Wr for the Dallas Cowboys
I feel bad for Eddings....if I'm the QB, I throw to him often and let his speed take over.
So is first guy Jaguar talks about Upchurch's dad?
STILL I think that the New York Giants are BETTER OFF SPIKING the BALL into the ground on EVERY single OFFENSIVE play!!!! They will ALWAYS be 39.6 to ME!!!!
39 Years Ago
Jonas Gray? Anybody?
