[QUOTE="nephron, post: 704798, member: 23759"] Good one, D :thumb: Sure? If it is true, IMO, the body size in football has gone over the top. When's the last time you saw a really fast and frightening linebacker? Ray Lewis? No. LT? Yeah--that was the last really great one, IMO. Today, LB's are bulky, Terminatoresque bodies that fill up the holes and do a reasonable job. In the heyday, guys like Youngblood (the outside guy--can't remember if it's Jack, or who) , Ted Hendrix (Oakland ;) ), Jack Lambert (probably the best that ever lived, damn him)--those guys were frighteningly fast, awesome players slashing through the line and sacking quarterbacks. Today, the down linemen are so freakin' juicy, an LB couldn't get through even if they wanted to. And they don't try. Seems the blitz is carried by the free safety and 1 corner now, more than anything else. Why? Speed? :think: The ultimate false economy--a corner, safety and linebacker? Or Jack Lambert? Back to the 'Sure?' A farmer here (in Lakin) was a former Armwrestling champ (@ what level, I don't know), known to have the biggest hands and fingers. Just huge. Forearms like treetrunks. He met Tatum @ Vegas, and Tatum gave him his superbowl ring to try on. Needless to say, the ring was floating on all sides. Point? Tatum was huge, big-handed, and probably (still is) stronger than current linebackers, let alone safeties. ;) [/QUOTE]
