They would run over you and tackle somebody often the ball carrier.

I can only imagine what it was like staring down Deacon Jones let alone getting hit by him. I can only imagine the dread players had of an upcoming game facing those guys.

I had a friend of mine tell me I was the hardest hit he ever experienced. He said it almost knocked him out of the game.

Problem was, he was on my team.
He got between me and the guy with the ball.

Should not get off the Olsen topic but I will.

Have had many tell me you never wanted to tackle Gene Stalling (coach of many teams) You could do it but the second time you thought about it.
