Football has changed

Post by jim »

I was a big Dolphin fan as a kid, I found some of the their games on youtube and have been watching the 1973 AFC Championship game

Crazy how much different it is today. The Dolphins were like a HS team that never had to throw. Just pounded the ball, 4-5 yards at a time. Really basic formations too, a FB and a HB, two WR with not much variation. I formation, Pro, Pro-R/L ... Kind of cool to see the old power sweep - two guards pulling. They announced the sizes of the DLine for the Dolphins - 245, 255, 270 ... TE sizes today.

Kind of cool to go back and watch stuff like this. Football in 1973 looks alot different than baseball in 1973, I'll tell you that much.
