@GBev2K You are so right. Imagine if Ndamukong Suh,Ray Lewis,Demarcus Ware, Troy Polamalu,Jared Allen,Peppers, Clay Matthews, Harringson,etc were allowed to launch themselves,clotheline,grab and yank facemasks,take out knees,chop block,trip,etc. Whew! It'll be pretty nasty.
@1thepner My point is...if the stronger and faster players of today were allowed to hit like the Jack Tatums and Ronnie Lotts of the old days you would see deaths on the field. I'm not talking about who is tougher between now and then. A tough guy can get hit by a bicycle and be fine, but if he gets hit by a truck it doesn't matter how tough he is.
@GBev2K fast and strong, yes. Tougher? No. If a player today got hit over and over like back then, the crying would never stop. They wouldn't die because they would be too intimidated to go back out on the field.
@hitek9wittafulclip Agreed. Today's players aren't soft. It's today's rules that don't allow them to do the dirty things you could do in the past. Also, I am disgusted by the "hitting a defenseless receiver" penalty. Seriously... if the receiver holds onto the ball, it's a great legal hit, but if it flies off his hands or the hit causes him to drop it, it's often a flag. Give me a break! Go out there and keep hitting. don't worry about the flag!
@hitek9wittafullclip meant to say if today way bigger,stronger,faster,athletic in a much faster game played with those rules,the players would die on the field. My fault
Is it just me, or is it weird that they did not mention his hit on Darryl Stingley in this clip?

The NFL was the best sport in America before all those bullshit rules started.

Tatum should be #1, his hits are different from anyone else- you can almost feel it just watchin it.

When I play APF2k8 I use Dick Butkus and Jack Tatum. It's brutal even in the video game!
