    Horn and Jimmy Taylor, running right and left, while blocking effectively for each other is a helluva lot more exciting football than some of today's pass festivals that I see on the tube.
    KYP, you forgot the "ung" on Hornung. Don't want the younguns confusing him with Don Horn!
    Now you see what I mean, Patler, about the younguns here? You make your comment among a group of old-timers and they'd look at you like you were a moron! How the hell could anybody confuse Don Horn and the Golden Boy?

    But, yeah, you're right. You got to spell it out for these whippersnappers!
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

      The biggest change in offense came from a defensive rule in '74 or so. The Bengals had been throttled in a play-off game. Their opponents beat the bejabbers out of star WR Isaac Curtis. Paul Brown was on the competitive committee and got a rule passed that said it was illegal to touch the receiver after 5 yards. That rule change has morphed into the hands off after 5 game we have today. The NFL became a passing league over time due to this change.
      I have heard of a rule (I thought it was the 5 yard bump zone) called the Mel Blount rule. Is this the same rule KY? Blount would have faced Issac Curtis twice a year and was drafted and played in 1970. Or are there two named for AFC Central Players?

      Notable: Mel Blount was 6' 3" and 205 pounds. That would hurt.
      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

        Yeah, same rule.

        Steeler fans called it the Mel Blount rule right away. It did take away some of Mel's trick bag, but he was so good, no ruling could take him out of the game.
