(S4) - Weekend PT #2 - Old School Football

[HENDRIX]

If Kurt Hendrix played in an older era of football, he would dominate even harder than he currently does. Players of older generations aren't as big, strong, athletic, or skilled as the modern day players are. Over the years the natural progression of football has weeded out small, weak, unathletic, and unskilled players. Imagine a 6'2" 250 pound offensive linemen trying to block the athletic 300 pound Hendrix. He would be on top of the quarter back before he finished his three step drop. In all sports there is always those debate how modern Team X would fair against older Team Y, the correct answer is always the same, the modern era team would smash the older era team. The undefeated '72 Dolphins would get dominated by most of the DSFL and NFL's teams. Sure, those old time players might be tougher by playing their careers with antiquated helmets and pads, and having less rules, but they wouldn't be able to keep up with the skill and athleticism of modern players. Kurt Hendrix, a 300lb DE, would be more athletic than probably every offensive player on the field with him. It would be a complete mismatch, and end with plenty of pain and suffering for the old schoolers. (208)
