1969 Jets Super Bowl Running Play: Ewbank's Key Strategy with Namath
The page from the 1969 Football Stars publication details a key running play employed by the New York Jets during their Super Bowl victory over the Baltimore Colts. The play, designed by head coach Weeb Ewbank, features fullback Matt Snell receiving a handoff from quarterback Joe Namath. Snell has two options: to run inside between the weakside tackle and guard or to break outside, utilizing the block from Emerson Boozer, who is designated to block the linebacker. The illustration shows the formation, including players such as Sauer, Hill, Tallmanui, Schmitt, Rasmussen, Herman, Lam Mons, and Maynard, each playing specific positions critical to the execution of the play.
