Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 3933511, member: 289"] I look at vintage film and see all the plays we run now. Everything in a sport is invented early in it's history. After that it's all about how you package it and how often you do it. As I've pointed out several times, the sport is more cyclical than evolutionary. Yes, there's more passing now than before but it's just passing. I recall seeing a show from the 1950's where Bud Wilkinson discusses 'spread' offenses. I just think that it matters that a defense doesn't know who is going to get the ball on a pass play and it also matters on a running play. Today's running same seems so predictable compared to what I see in the old films. If you don't have a dominant line or a dazzling passing game, (which also requires a strong line), it goes nowhere.
