Charles Martin

Today would have been Charles Martin’s 58^th birthday, but the wild man former nose tackle died in 2005 at age 45 from a kidney condition. In high school, Martin was known as “Too Mean,” and he lived up to that nickname as a Green Bay Packer.  He went to tiny Livingston College and played with Birmingham in the USFL before joining Forrest Gregg’s first Packer team in 1984.  Gregg’s teams were short on talent, and he tried to make up for that by having them play aggressively, especially against the hated Bears.  For some reason, there was very bad blood between Gregg and Bear Coach Mike Ditka, probably going back to their playing days in the 1960s.  Ditka had a vast advantage in talented players and that allowed him to beat the Packers at will.  With Gregg, his foe, as the opposing coach, Ditka took to rubbing Forrest’s nose in it.  In their 1985 championship season, the Bears won both games against the Packers so easily that they had 300-pound defensive tackle William “Refrigerator” Perry score a touchdown in each game, one came on a run and one on a pass reception off of play action.

The 6’2″ and 285 pound Martin compensated for his modicum of talent with an abundance of belligerence. He was known for frequenting bars and becoming extremely antagonistic after having a few drinks.  A few years later, he would check into an alcohol treatment center.  Some teammates also suspected that he used steroids.  As an example of his troubled behavior, there was a sexual incident in a bar in 1986 that got Charles a two-game suspension by the team.  The first game against the Bears that year was very hard-hitting.  Mark Lee was thrown out of the game for tussling with Walter Payton on the Packers second possession.  On the next possession, Martin dropped Walter Payton on running play.  The whistle blew, and safety Ken Stills came charging in and drilled Bear fullback Matt Suhey from behind as he was walking back to the huddle.  The Packers were penalized and defensive coach Dick Modzelewski began yelling at Stills from the sideline, but Gregg told Modzelewski to lay off.  He liked the aggressive attitude. The Bears went on to win again 26-12.

The 1986 rematch at Soldier Field was Charles Martin’s moment.  That day he wore a towel at his waist with five Bear uniform numbers he was gunning for: Jim McMahon, Payton, Dennis Gentry, Willie Gault, and Jay Hilgenberg.  In the second quarter, McMahon threw a pass that was picked off by Mark Lee.  Following the interception, Martin headed right for McMahon. However, instead of blocking him as was his right, Martin grabbed McMahon from the blind side, picked him up off the ground, and body-slammed him onto the hard ground as if the two were in a World Wrestling Federation grudge match.  McMahon landed on his shoulder and would be out the rest of the year. Martin was thrown out of the game and came off the field getting high fives from some teammates; he would be suspended by the league for two games.  Once again, the Bears pulled out a 12-10 win in the fourth quarter.

It was an embarrassing moment to be a Packer fan.  Second-year linebacker Brian Noble to his credit went over to the Bears locker room after the game and apologized personally to Ditka for his teammates’ actions.  Martin apologized through the media and unsuccessfully appealed the suspension.

Charles Martin was involved in another bar incident in 1987 — this time involving a bouncer and was waived from the Packers.  He was picked up by the Oilers and spent a year there and a year in Atlanta before drifting out of the league.  His violent take down along with other sacks not quite as heinous led to 1987 rule changes outlawing body slams and the taking of more than one step toward the passer after the ball has been thrown.

1946 All-Time Packer Teams

On November 5, 1946, the Green Bay Press-Gazette announced they were conducting a poll to determine the Packers’ All-Time team in commemoration of the Packers’ 25^th anniversary in the NFL. Fans were instructed to not just pick two ends tackles and guards, but a left end and right end and so forth. The article included Curly Lambeau’s selections, and they are listed below. Curly noted that if the team were running the “quick opening” style offense from the 1920s, Dunn would be the passer at quarterback and Lewellen the left half, but if the offense was the Notre Dame Box, then Larry Craig would be the blocking quarterback and Cecil Isbell the passing halfback.

The poll ran for two weeks, with daily vote totals featured during the voting. On November 19, the paper announced the results denoted below. I included the vote totals as well as a second team based on that measure (not broken down by left/right). While Arnie Herber’s total at quarterback is the lowest winning vote, it should be noted that he also garnered 383 votes as a left halfback for an overall total of 1,364 votes. While Herber was neglected by Lambeau’s selections, it was Isbell who was deserted by the fans with just 338 votes at both quarterback and halfback.

The fans reversed the positions of Hubbard and Buck from what Lambeau had and gave fewer than 20 votes each to such standouts as Tony Canadeo, Curly Lambeau, Bob Monnett, Hank Bruder, Lon Evans, Pete Tinsley and Bill Lee. They also gave one vote for Hutson at guard and Isbell at tackle. The biggest surprise to me in the votes is Elmer “Red” Sleight finishing fourth at tackle ahead of Baby Ray and others. Sleight only spent two years with the Packers. It was no surprise that Don Hutson garnered the most votes of all.

POS	First Team	Votes	Second Team	Votes	Curly’s Picks
LE	Don Hutson	1798	Tom Nash	44	Don Hutson

Game Notes: Redskins vs. Packers 10/19/47

In 1947, Curly Lambeau finally acquired a quarterback and instituted the T formation in Green Bay. During the War, half the league followed the Bears example and converted to the T: Philadelphia in 1941, Washington in 1944, and the Cardinals and Rams in 1945. In 1947, the Packers were joined by the Lions and Boston Yanks in switching. A year later, the Giants would join the majority, but the Steelers hold out with the Single Wing until 1952.

The man Lambeau obtained to usher in the new era was Jack Jacobs who had previously played for the Cleveland Rams and the Redskins. Curly sent halfback Bob Nussbaumer to Washington for Jacobs. Jack was no Luckman or Baugh, but had his finest year for Green Bay in 1947, throwing for 16 touchdowns and 17 interceptions.

On this day, the 2-1 Redskins travelled to Milwaukee to face the 2-1 Packers. Washington received the kickoff and lined up with Baugh in the T, while Green Bay set up in a 5-3 defense. After a punt, Jacobs led the Packer offense onto the field against his old mates. Sometimes the Packers would line one halfback wide as a flanker, sometimes as a wingback or H back and sometimes in a fullhouse backfield. On the second play, the Packers demonstrated Lambeau’s main twist to the T: Jacobs lined up behind center, but the snap went deep to halfback Bruce Smith instead.

On film, it appears that Jacobs is standing a bit off kilter, and Brock centers the ball next to his leg, but it’s hard to tell. In Boston, Coach Herb Kopf was running what he called the “Q-T formation” in which the snap would sometimes go between the quarterback’s legs directly to a halfback, so that could be what Green Bay was doing.

At any rate, Jacobs’ passes to ends Luhn and Goodnight drove the team right down the field, and Ted Fritsch punched in the TD from the two. Ward Cuff added the extra point. Following more sharp passing by Jacobs later in the quarter, Cuff converted a 14-yard field goal to extend the first quarter score to 10-0 Packers. A 50-yard interception return by Washington’s Dick Todd led to a six-yard Baugh TD pass to John Lookabaugh in the second quarter to bring the halftime score to 10-7.

In the third quarter, the Redskins evened the game on a Dick Poillon 18-yard field goal after a fumble by Packer fullback Walt Schlinkman. However, a roughing the punter penalty against the Redskins at the end of the quarter extended a Green Bay drive, and the Packers retook the lead 17-10 on the second play of the fourth quarter on a 26-yard halfback option pass from Tony Canadeo to Nolan Luhn.

The last stanza was all Packers. Ted Fritsch booted 49-yard field goal – most likely the longest of his career to extend the lead to 20-10. On the ensuing Redskin drive, defensive end Don Wells grabbed Baugh who flipped an ill-advised pass into the flat that linebacker Bob Forte picked off and ran back 68 yards for the closing touchdown of the 27-10 Packer victory.

Jacobs ended up completing 12 of 23 passes, while Baugh connected on 19 of 39. Green Bay would go on to post a 6-5-1 record and finish third in the West for the season; Washington sank to fourth in the East with a 4-8 tally.  A year later, the bottom would fall out for the Packers, Lambeau and Jacobs, who would drop to five TD passes and 21 interceptions in 1948.

Cobb Turns 27

Randall Cobb is short at just 5’10” but solid at 190 pounds, and he is second to no one in toughness. Cobb began his tenure at the University of Kentucky as a quarterback. Although primarily a wide receiver in Lexington, he continued to play significant snaps at quarterback in the Wildcat formation for the Cats in his college career. He has continued that versatility in Green Bay as a kick and punt returner, starting wide receiver and even a sometime-running back in Coach Mike McCarthy’s offense.

After being taken by Green Bay in the second round of the 2011 draft, Cobb began his pro career in spectacular fashion by scoring two touchdowns on opening day – one on a record-setting 108-yard kickoff return and the other on a 32-yard pass reception. He became a starting slotback receiver in 2012 and caught 80 balls for 954 yards and eight touchdowns. The following season, Cobb broke his leg in week five, but returned for the season finale to catch two touchdown passes against the Bears, including the 48-yard game-winner on fourth down with 38 seconds to play, to clinch the playoffs for the Packers. Continuing to improve, Cobb caught 91 passes for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2014. However, he fell off from there, particularly in 2015 when forced to assume the mantle of number one receiver once Jordy Nelson got hurt. Cobb battled injuries in 2016. In both years his average yards per catch and touchdown catches were way down.

As a player, Cobb is quick and elusive, but also fearless in going over the middle. Perhaps because of his own quarterbacking background, he is particularly attentive in making himself a target to Aaron Rodgers when the quarterback is forced to scramble. Cobb cheered Packer fans in 2015 when he re-signed with the team as a free agent, stating that, “I want to win championships.” He added, “I think Aaron’s going to go down as the greatest quarterback in the history of the game. To be able to play with him four more years, I know it’s a blessing.”

Ken Ruettgers

Ken Ruettgers is 55 today. In Greg Koch’s last year, the Packers made a draft day trade to move up seven slots and select Ruettgers from USC with the seventh overall pick of the 1985 draft. At USC, he played both right and left tackle and even played some guard at times. In Green Bay, Ruettgers was a left tackle and a good one. Upon drafting Ken, Forrest Gregg said, “The thing I like about Ken over the other [available linemen] is probably his intensity.”

Ron Wolf tells the story in The Packer Way that when he evaluated the Packers’ roster as a consultant in 1987, the only star on the team was Ken; four years later when he was hired as Packer GM, the cupboard was still bare, with Ruettgers and Sterling Sharpe the only star players in 1991. For over a decade, the 6’6” 295 pounder maintained the blind side of a series of mostly forgettable quarterbacks before Brett Favre’s arrival in 1992. Unfortunately, by the time Wolf had built the squad into a championship one, Ruettgers’ balky left knee rendered him unable to play even after the fifth surgery of his career during the 1996 training camp. He tried to come back in November, but the pain was too great.

As a tackle, Ruettgers was a fundamentally sound technician who relied on film study to maintain a notebook on his defensive opponents. He was smart, big and worked hard, especially in the weight room. Generally better in pass protection, he was a decent run blocker as well. Even though he was forced out of the game just as the team reached the pinnacle, he is remembered fondly as a very sturdy building block on which that team was built.

Hutson’s Positioning

For the last several weeks, I’ve been writing up game notes for a number of games I’ve watched on film from the 1940s. One thing I’ve taken note of in particular is how Don Hutson was positioned on the line on offense, since most ends at the time lined up in-tight with the rest of the line. Giants’’ Coach Steve Owen wrote in his autobiography My Kind of Football in 1952 that “Don Hutson, greatest of all the ends, was in single wing formation with the Packers, but Curly Lambeau used him in T style, set out clear so that he had the space to outfox blockers.”

From the small sample of seven games that I watched, Owen’s observation rings true. In those games, the Packers had 450 offensive plays, of which 440 were on the films I watched. Of those 440 plays, Hutson was on the field for 299 and lined up wide or flexed out at least three to four yards on 192 of them (64.2%). On the 141 other Packer offensive plays, only 20 times was one of the other Packer ends lined up wide (14.2%). On rare occasions, Lambeau lined up one of his halfbacks wide as a flanker, but Hutson was the man Curly truly wanted to shake free.

Rookie of the Decades(s)

1920s: Curly Lambeau

The best homegrown player of the decade, Verne Lewellen, was used more sparingly in his first year. Curly was the team’s backbone right from the start.

1930s: Clarke Hinkle

This decade was arguably the greatest for rookies in team history. Backs Arnie Herber, Hank Bruder, Clarke Hinkle, Bob Monnett, Joe Laws, Ed Jankowski and Cecil Isbell all came to Green Bay in the 1930s…not to mention ends Don Hutson and Milt Gantenbein and linemen Lon Evans, Russ Letlow and Charlie Brock. Hutson would be the obvious choice, but he was just getting warmed up with 18 catches in 1935. Cecil Isbell led the team in rushing and threw eight touchdown passes. Best of all, Clarke Hinkle led the team in rushing for his first three seasons, played devastating defense at linebacker and was a team leader right from the jump.

1940s: Ted Fritsch

The War decade was a time of dwindling resources for the Packers. The team’s best freshmen came in the first three seasons. While Tony Canadeo was clearly the player of the decade and demonstrated his wide range of talents in his first season, Ted Fritsch had a more impressive rookie season. Ted replaced the retired Clarke Hinkle at fullback/linebacker and led the team in rushing while converting four of five field goal attempts to lead in that category as well.

1950s: Billy Howton

The Packers spent this lost decade collecting a lot of talent, most of which would bloom in the following decade. The two rookies who shown brightest at the start were center/linebacker Clayton Tonnemaker who received All-Pro notice and receiver Billy Howton. Howton led the league in receiving yards with 1,231 and set an NFL rookie record for TD catches with 13 that would stand for 46 years. He also drew All-Pro notice in his first season.

1960s: Lionel Aldridge

The biggest stars developed in the 1960s were Herb Adderley, Dave Robinson and Gale Gillingham. However, all three were part of the supporting cast as rookies. Lionel Aldridge became one of just three Lombardi Era rookies to start in his first season, along with Boyd Dowler and Ken Bowman. Only Aldridge started for his entire rookie season, though, and he recorded five sacks. A case could be made for the impact of kick returner Travis Williams, but essentially that boiled down to four games.

1970s: John Brockington

A grim decade on the field, but some truly great rookies in John Brockington, Willie Buchanon and James Lofton, not to mention Chester Marcol, Johnnie Gray and Mike McCoy. Lofton had a very promising rookie year, but Buchanon and Brockington were defensive and offensive rookies of the year respectively. Since Brockington was second in the NFL in rushing and averaged 5.2 yards per carry, I give him a slight edge.

1980s: Brian Noble

Tom Flynn had nine interceptions and made the All-Rookie team, but was always slow. Tim Harris had eight sacks as a rookie, but was a part-time player. Tim Lewis had five interceptions and would get better. Sterling Sharpe showed great potential with 55 catches. Brian Noble moved right in and was a run-stopping wall at inside linebacker.

1990s: Vonnie Holliday

The greatest player to emerge as a rookie in this decade was Leroy Butler, and he had a good rookie year, as did Darren Sharper and Mike McKenzie later in the decade. Vonnie Holliday had the best season of his long career as a rookie opposite Reggie White with eight sacks in 12 games.

2000s: Ryan Grant

A very good decade for rookies starting with bookend tackles Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher in 2000, linebacker Nick Barnett in 2003, defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins in 2004 and receivers Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson in 2006 and 2008 respectively. The three big names, though, were safety Nick Collins in 2005, runner Ryan Grant in 2007 and linebacker Clay Matthews in 2009. Both Collins and Matthews made the All-Rookie team. Grant came out of nowhere to give the surging Packers a running attack that helped carry them to the conference championship game for the first time in a decade.

2010s: Bryan Bulaga

With three seasons left in the current decade, Bryan Bulaga, Eddie Lacy and Corey Linsley have had the best rookie seasons thus far. Lisnley surprisingly filled a hole at center, and Lacy was Offensive Rookie of the Year with 1,178 yards rushing, but Bulaga stepped in and stepped up at left tackle for the team’s last Super Bowl year in 2010.

Game Notes: Packers vs. Detroit Lions 12/2/1945

The Packers 1945 season finale on December 2 at Briggs Stadium would also prove to be Don Hutson’s final NFL game. Hutson had been retiring annually since 1941, but this one finally stuck. Unfortunately, the game was a downbeat lead-in to the team’s future without its biggest star.

Tulsa rookies Clyde Goodnight and Nolan Luhn opened the game at the ends for the Packers. After an exchange of punts, Don Hutson came in as a substitute the second time the Packers got the ball and caught a pass as the team drove down the field. On a jet-sweep-style end-around Hutson gained 15 yards down to the Lions five. However, two plays later, the same play resulted in a Hutson fumble and a turnover.

In the second quarter, a short Green Bay drive propelled by a Joe Laws 20-yard burst up the middle lead to a 15-yard field goal by Hutson and a 3-0 Green Bay lead. The next Packer drive featured a couple of sweeps by Bruce Smith to reach the Red Zone, but the Pack turned the ball over on downs at the end of the half.

Things deteriorated in the third quarter. Detroit featured the short punt formation in this game and accumulated 249 yards passing. The first Lion possession of the half was driven by passes, including a very odd two-handed basketball pass from blocking back Bill Callihan to end Jack Matheson for 15 yards over the middle. A Bob Westfall one-yard touchdown plunge culminated that drive to give Detroit the lead 7-3. On the Lions’ next chance, another two-handed basketball chest pass from Callihan to Matheson helped move the team to the Packer 25 where tailback Chuck Fenenbock hit wingback Andy Farkas for a 25-yard touchdown to end the scoring, 14-3. Two more Packer drives in the fourth quarter ended abruptly by turning the ball over on downs and by interception. On Green Bay’s last gasp, Hutson caught the last two passes of his career from Irv Comp in the closing minutes.

As to Hutson’s positioning, Don lined up for 36 plays on offense. On 23 of them, he was split wide or flexed away from the interior line. On the 27 offensive plays when Hutson was not on the field, neither Packer end was spread wide even once.

The Lions’ win was the first time they had beaten the Packers in 11 games and allowed Detroit to slip past Green Bay into second place in the West for the year. The first time the two teams played in 1945, the Packers pounded the Lions 57-21, with Hutson catching four touchdown passes and kicking five PATs in the second quarter to set a league record of 29 points in one quarter. That would have been the game on which to go out.
