Blast from the past...1979

[DreadedSteeler]

This is a complete roster file of the 1979 season. The steel curtain, doomsday defense, the orange crush, air coryell, luv ya blue, and those cardiac kids are all here!

This roster includes completed depth charts (although i couldn't find info on punt and kick returners for all the teams), equipment from back in the day, correct heights, weights, schools, PBP names, ect.

As for the teams that didn't exist Jaguars, Panthers, Ravens, and Texans, i thought it best just to reduce their ratings and give them fake names...didn't want to see Jamaal Lewis or Fred Taylor in the league leaders in 1979. Basically those teams are gimme wins if there on your schedule.

This is the file i've wanted to do forever now, so a big thanks to Finn for making it possible. Took me at least a couple of months to complete this, but it was really worth it...takes me back to my youth

Enjoy.

Thanks...it was definately the toughest and most time consuming file i've ever done, but i do plan at least one more.

Some more notes for this file...

There were at least four teams that that ran a 3-4 defense...the Dolphins, Chiefs, Bucs, and Bills.

Franco Harris and William Andrews were listed as fullbacks, but i put them at halfback since they also lined up there and were the primary backs. Other fullbacks like Riggins and Sam Cunningham can still get plenty of carries by selecting the Bucs playbook.

Downloading songs like the Oilers fight song helps too
