Everyone talks about the old timers playing in todays NFL but how would the modern player do back in the 50 or 60. They would have no one to come out in put a bandad on thier scratch. No face mask to protect those pretty faces. They may be faster, taller, heaver, but they are no where near as tough. It might not be such of a stroll in the park if they could go back in time. The old timers would take them out the night before the game and get them trashed so they were all hung over the next day. That would level the playing field some and then they would kick, hit, scrach, bite, spit (Taylor could play with the old guys) rack, etc.. until they just gave up.
