...Concrete Charlie. My only guesses are Chuck Bednarik or Charlie Connerly.
The rest I'm pretty sure of.
1. The Decatur Staleys are now known as: Bears
2. What is a flanker? A receiver that we now call "the slot"
3. What is a red dog? An early version of the blitz, where a linebacker makes a delayed rush
4. Right end and left end are now called? Wide receivers
5. Who were the Monsters of the Midway? The Bears
6: Who was Concrete Charlie? See my wild guess above
7. Who was slinging QB number 9 for the team formerly called the Redskins? Sonny Jurgensen (A little iffy on this one)
8. Who was the "Mad Bomber"? Daryl Lamonica (often throwing long to Warren Wells)
9. What franchise started the Thanksgiving Day game: Detroit
10. What Redskins QB lead the league in passing and
punting? Sammy Baugh
11. Who was nicknamed "Snake"? Ken Stabler
12: Was the "tuck rule" play a fumble or a tuck? Officially it was a tuck, though anybody who saw it thinks he fumbled that ball.

You're absolutely right on the tuck rule, it was a fumble. This from a Raider fan.
