European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - December 9, 1994, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 3s the stars and stripes sports Friday december 9,1994 a Vav is Aby Hal Bock Hempstead . Apr sometime on saturday Art Monk of the new York jets will catch a pass for the 178th consecutive game and own one of the a Fly a most prestigious records. Take it from Monk though. It will be strictly temporary. Just like it was temporary for Steve Largent who had the record at 177. Just like it was temporary for Harold Carmichael who had it before Largent. A i done to consider it my record a Monk said after practice wednesday a a in a just borrowing it for a time. In a taking it from Largent. Others will come along and take it from  v a \ a Monk a Low key Veteran in his 15th nil season is the Antithesis of the trash talking hotshots who operate around the league these Days. He prefers to go about his business quietly. This record has caught his attention though. A a in a excited about it a he said. Quot in a not the kind of Guy who shows emotion. In a emotional within. A it Means a lot because of who in a taking it from. Largent was a great athlete and a great wide receiver who accomplished a lot. He was a Man of character a Man of integrity a Man who did no to get caught up in the things of this world. We share those things in  r Monk sounds like the Campaign chairman for Largent soon to be a freshman congressman from Oklahoma. The jets Are arranging to have him at the game against Detroit for the record breaker. Monk said he was proudest of the consistency that the record represents. A a in be been blessed and fortunate to play in a system geared to get me the Ball a he said. Sometimes the system took its time about  Monk talks with reporters about his Streak. A year ago in his final season with Washington Monk thought the record might be in jeopardy in a game against the los Angeles rams. A we got into the fourth Quarter a he said. A i was Al tempting with another wide receiver. It looked dim for getting me the  eventually a Little 5-Yard pattern got the Job done. In two other games last season at Tampa Bay and at Dallas Monk was limited to a single catch. At age 36, the redskins were phasing him out. If there is anything that bothers him about the record it is that he no longer plays for Washington where he spent 14 seasons. During the off season he signed As a free agent with the jets and has been a vital part of their offence with 41 catches for 535 Yards and three ads. He has dropped one pass All year a the first one Boomer Esia son threw to him in the season opener. Monk recognizes there is always the Chance he might not catch a pass against the Lions and the Streak could end at 177. A that possibility has crossed my mind a he said. A a in be thought How i would handle it. In a not going into this game with the idea of breaking a record. I want to help this team win. I put the team first. That a my main goal and concern. A whatever Ball i catch i want it to be part of the Normal game plan something that would happen record or not. Just a natural play like any other play Call. That would make it More  the last time Monk failed to catch a pass in a game was the 1982 season finale against the St. Louis cardinals when he broke his foot an injury that kept him out of the super bowl. He sat out the first three games the following season with a knee injury and then started the Streak oct. 2, 1983 with three catches against the los Angeles raiders. There have been 807 catches from 12 quarterbacks and one wide receiver since. Monk celebrated his 37th birthday monday. That a a Chancy age for a pro football player. At the moment he thinks head like to play one More year. But that could change in the off season. He was asked How head like to be remembered. A that i did no to take anything for granted a he said. A that i was a Guy who worked hard did his Job and helped others when he  team by team schedules results Arizona 12 at los Angeles ram 20 new Yolk giants 0 at Cleveland.
