I'd love to see the league average for YPC over the years and whether or not the passing rules have had any impact. I have no idea where to find it though.

It was totally different game, which is why if you didn't have an amazing running back (if not a Hall of Famer), you likely weren't going to the Super Bowl, let alone, win it. |

http://www.pro-football-reference.co...FL/rushing.htm In the 70s you could expect YPC to be around 4.0 YPC. 80s - largely the same story. The 90's looked to vacillate a little more, but YPC do have a downward trend; 3.9 seems pretty fair and by Tomlinson's 'peak' years it had come up to about 4.1 YPC. We're talking percentage points here and there; in any given 'era' you're looking about a variation of about 2-4%. He's right that it's gotten a little easier, but not by that much and certainly not when you compare it to the guys in the 70s and 80s.

Kevin Greene has more sacks than Andre Tippet, Chris Doleman and Howie Long and they are all in the Hall of Fame but he isn't
makes sense. |

As a pass rushing specialist, he was valuable. Against the run? Not so much. |

1. Derrick Brooks 140 2. Marvin Harrison 124 3. Michael Strahan 121 4. Will Shields 113 5. Aeneas Williams 106 Just missing the cut were a couple of Raiders, Tim Brown and Steve Wisniewski at 104.

If Coryell doesn't get into the HOF, it's a travesty. None of the offenses putting up video game numbers today that Goodell and the owners love so much would have been possible without him.
But he only won 3 playoff games, so I guess he's not "transcendent" enough for the Hall. ![]()

Put David Tyree in the Hall of Fame! He has a ring and had that amazing helmet catch, that means he's "transcendent!" /Dane
