The difference in the amount of youth is the biggest thing I see. A first line with two guys over 30 compare to a 20 and a 21 year old. A team in 2004 that relied on tenacity, cageyness and toughness. A team today that relies on tenacity, speed and skill. Similar positions but really they are very different teams.
