[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 129591, member: 1640"] I too remember those old blocking rules. Was told by teammates that some teams even had little straps sewn on jerseys for offensive player to grab hold of to help him keep his arms in and elbows out. One of my all time favorite football games was (I know some of you have heard me say this before) was the 1966 Sugar Bowl game between Nebraska and Alabama. Nebraska's line outweighed Alabama on both sides of the ball from 25-35 pounds a player. Alabama even had an All American guard who only weighed 195. Coach Bryant was asked how his team was going to be able to stay on the same field with Nebraska and he famously replied, "We're going to out quick them." Indeed they did, 34-7. Point was, different blocking rules in those days and quickness was more valuable than it is today. [/QUOTE]
