Yeah tell Jimmy Brown, Dick Butkus, Ray Nietzche, Bronco Nagursky and Doug Atkins about that. The only difference is the players are bigger and stronger. Teams still have intricate plays and the NFL is trying to control smash-mouth.

The players above would be banned today.

There are qbs today far more talented than any Oiler or Cowboy qbs except maybe Roger Staubach who actually started the Running qb concept.

Your post was and is full of crap showing you know nothing about the history of the game.

Another poster tried to give you a hint by mentioning the days, Lily White, where the injuries were so out of hand that he threatened to ban it. The Flying Wedge was pure precision, wasn’t it?

10-4, dickhead. What I’m trying to impart is the NFL wasn’t always about defensive injuries to keep the scores low. Remember college ball running up 50-60pts because nobody’s paycheck was earned by injuries?
