He hasn't been talked about very often these days but he was an important cog in the offense.

Those were the days when we had a great offensivive line. Forest Greg, Fuzzy Thurston (Valparaiso), Ken Bowman, Jerry Kramer and Bob.

Remember when we let go of Jim Taylor and Paul Hornung, and to put two unknown running back’s in there....we did just fine.

I wonder if our front office, and our fans, have forgotten about the fact that in the glory days, our offensive and defensive lines were the strength of our team.

I haven’t forgotten. Those lines were big reasons we won back then.

Offensive and defensive schemes were also much less complex back then, and defensive players weren't nearly as fast as they are today. Looking at the overall dismal level of offensive line play leaguewide these days, I often wonder if offensive linemen aren't simply overtaxed due to the fast pace of today's game. Maybe they are the class of players that is most struggling to adapt to the modern style of football.

I wonder if they were playing in today’s game, what kind of player would they be? Would they even make it in the NFL? If they did, would they be elite like they were back then? Interesting to think about.

Lack of practice time allowed in the new cba is why the oline ducks nowadays

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

If you gave the old-time guys the same benefits of weight training and nutritional knowledge that the current players have, I bet many of them would’ve stood out and outperformed the current players.
