1966 Giants Offensive Line Profiles

BOB SCHOLTZ
Center
No. 55
Notre Dame
"Bob played the pivot spot in Detroit with Earl Morrall calling the signals. This combination has had much experience, which was of great help to the Giants in 1965. With Greg Larson injured, Bob took over and worked with his old teammate."

BOOKIE BOLIN AND PETE CASE
"If Earl Morrall stabilized the Giant offense last year, a big assist goes to Bookie Bolin and Pete Case, who gave him the vital pass blocking he needed. Bolin, swiftly moving up as one of the league's better guards, does equally well at pulling out of the line to lead a running play. But it was Case who had fight his way into a regular job, after being traded to the Giants by the Eagles last year. He moved in ahead of Davey O'Brien shortly after the season began and simply got better every week. Pete played his college football at Georgia."

-Jack Zanger, Pro Football 1966

BOOKIE BOLIN
Guard
No. 63
Mississippi
Whether providing pass protection for quarterback Earl Morrall or pulling out of the line to lead the way for one of the young Giant running backs, Bookie is a stalwart of New York's rebuilding offensive line. He served on the kickoff and punt return teams as a rookie while also filling at guard, but he's been a dependable regular ever since.
Bookie played in both the Sugar Bowl and the Cotton Bowl during his days at Ole Miss.

PETE CASE
Guard
No. 65
Georgia
Pete played all 14 games last year and was a vital cog in the new Giant offensive line. His speed was most useful for both running and passing plays.
As a collegian, Pete was widely considered Georgia's best all-around tackle since Marion Campbell. His impressive speed for a lineman made him a star of the 1959 Orange Bowl.
Pete majored in business administration.


ROOSEVELT BROWN
Offensive Tackle
No. 79
Morgan State
"Rosey was a 27th round draft choice in 1953. Since then, he has been a perennial All-Pro selection, nine-time Pro Bowl choice and Lineman of the Year in 1956.
This great blocker will go down as one of the best offensive linemen in NFL history."

GREG LARSON
Offensive Tackle
No. 53
Minnesota
"Since his rookie year in 1961, Greg has played tackle, guard and center for the Giants. Although surgery for torn ligaments sidelined him for part of the '64 and '65 seasons, Greg has made a good recovery and is ready for 1966."
