Dittos to that!!! And has there ever been a better Off. backfield than Bart Starr, Paul Hornung and Jimmy Taylor when they were at full throttle? (In a mix of the years 1957-1966 so). They get my vote as the best!!

I have never seen a running back who could run over people like Jimmy Taylor.

Back then the Quarterback called the plays on the field. Third down and inches to go. Bart would drop back and throw a bomb to Boyd Dowler when everyone on the defense was expecting a run up the middle.

Elijah Pitts was another good one. He seemed to have the same cat like style as Hornung.
