[QUOTE="PackersRS, post: 276561, member: 1429"] No doubt about that. But the preparation and the medicine of nowadays are miles ahead of that time, so it's not simply saying "that player was 250 and in today's game he wouldn't play". You have to translate the player into the context. Those players didn't have the same preparation since junior high that kids nowadays have. The only thing that to me is different is frame. Some amazing players from then simply wouldn't be able to put that much weight without losing all of their mobility... But it's a nearly impossible task to determine which one would be able to and which wouldn't. Anyway, fact is if there were such propaganda back then, Olsen would be bigger than Warren Sapp. Deacon already gets his rep. Though I still consider Reggie to be better than Deacon, due to his ability to play every single position on the DL, and excel at everyone. Reggie had the greatest combination of power, speed, motor and inteligence ever seen in a DLineman... [/QUOTE]
