The Packers because of the versatile blocking of their line and TE were able to counter with trap plays up the middle and off tackle. So it was hard to key on that. Starr was one who was adept at changing the play even then. Today, most QBs are very agile and are a weapon in themselves. I am surprised still to see how teams in shotgun with a single back run so well up the middle. The RPO forces defenses to look in several places whether it be an outside run or between the tackles using either the QB or the RB. Or they can pull it down and throw it. As defenses started to try and beat offenses to the outside faster, quicker backs evolved who could cut back which added another dimension to the sweep.</p></blockquote><p></p>
