Vintage Seattle Player O The Week award goes to Seahawks punter Rick Engles. In 1976, the Hawks used two third-round picks on Engles and kicker Don Bitterlich. During college he was 2nd in the nation with a 46.6 average punt at the University of Tulsa. Though he only lasted three seasons in the NFL, he was known for his cannon-foot and could really launch the ball. As you can see from his 1977 Topps card, he also had a pretty nice mustache. These days, Engles can be found back in Tulsa as president of Machinery Resources, Inc. Click on the image for higher-res.

He was fine but, of course, there’s only one punter worth mentioning in that glorious year of 1977 - Ray Guy. That guy (ha) was awesome. RAY FREAKIN’ GUY.
