[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 913423, member: 10086"] Maybe just rose colored glasses. But I’m old enough to remember all but Horning and Taylor. Actually Lacy and Starks was formidable also. What we are witnessing is a combination of factors that should conceivably give this RB duo an edge. 1. Scheme. MLF relies heavily on setting up the pass with a sound rushing attack. 2. Situational. If Rodgers is out, MLF highly likely puts extra emphasis on the Running game. His primary motivation will be to slow the game down and control the flow by winning TOP and playing Field position to offset a reduction from the previous seasons high scoring attack (keeping his Defense rested). 3. Fit. These 2 RB’s are not only good individually, but they are near polar opposites. This is ideal for a “change of pace” philosophy RB duo. 4. After witnessing what the Offense did in 2020 and looking at the strength of OL? These guys were selected as a healthy balance to defend the pass Rush. But moreso I see some great veteran run blockers and more run blocking specialists out of college. Good top tier player examples. The best statistical season for Taylor and Hornung was 1961 from a pure yards per carry at 1904 yards in 370 carries for [B]5.14/per[/B]. That’s exceptional production even looking across the league and beats most career bests. Let’s keep in mind these are both very good players [B]in the HOF. [/B]They also both played together for longer than we will see AJ and AJ, so we’re obviously talking a 1 season best duo. To be fair. I would always compare pace rates per carry and 12+ games is a plenty good sample size for [B]per Rush. [/B]Meaning I’m not going to unfairly use total yards here. Let’s watch and see how they handle their job at 5.14 as a barometer for one of, if not the, most formidable [B]RB duo’[/B]s in 100 Packer seasons The outlier is this: IF Love is playing expect to see a high proportion of stacked boxes and blitzes compared to Rodgers. If these 2 are able to meet at 5.14 ypa with a green Rookie QB?? In that case “double AJ” wins by default in a tie. [/QUOTE]
