Ask George

18 September 1967

 

Dolphin fans are invited to ask questions of Coach George Wilson during any Miami game, home or away. Just call either 350-2400 or 350-2453 and your question will be relayed to him, or else write to "Hey, George," care of The Miami Herald, One Herald Plaza, Miami, Fla., 83101. Remember, call only when a game is in progress.

Do you think Bob Griese and Rick Norton can carry the team at quarterback the rest of the season? — Larry Michelson, 6035 SW 64th PI.

We will try to pick up a third quarterback immediately. However, I thought Bob Griese did a fine job for us. He’s a smart boy and not afraid to work

What did you think of safetyman Tom Beier's first game as a starter? — Dave Teddschi, 3600 NW Ninth St.

Beier played darned well, made some key tackles and a big interception. I like his attitude and he has a good football mind.

With two fine runners like Abner Haynes and Joe Auer, why do you alternate them and use Sam Price, who is virtually a rookie, at fullback? — Glenn Tulk. 3415 SW 13th St.

Price is just now coming into his own as a power runner. You must also realize that he is a tremendous blocker on those pitchouts from our quarterback to either Auer or Haynes. We think Haynes and Auer are more effective when they can be alternated, because that way they also can run back punts and kickoffs.
