It’s interesting to me, but the game seems a lot more ballistic than it was when I played. I don’t know if it’s just plain bigger, faster more athletic guys (could be a piece of it), or a more aggressive style in terms of the contact. Obviously tackles are still wrapped and everything like that, but there just seems to be more emphasis on sticking guys today than there once was? Maybe I’m just making that up though?

The game has changed. The game is really about owning the contact zone and setting it before the gain line (if you are without the ball). It is about being dominate in your tackle and physically bitching the ball carrier.
