Defensive Tackle
No. 74
New Mexico State
"Schmiesing started 11 games at defensive right tackle after being acquired on waivers from Baltimore just prior to the season opener. He had the type of size that Charley Winner wanted at that time. Joe had one sack and one assist on a sack during the season.
Joe began his career as a 4th round pick of the Cardinals under Winner in 1968 and went to Detroit in a trade in 1972. He played one year for the Lions as a backup end and tackle before going to Baltimore for a draft choice in 1973. He started 11 games for Baltimore (six at end, five at tackle) in '73.
Schmiesing majored in history and works in the off-season raising beef and dairy farming. He pronounces his name 'Schmeez-ing' and his hometown is Sauk Centre, Minnesota."
