[@RoarOfWolverine]

This was smash-mouth football at it’s best. So many rule changes protecting QBs has made it much easier to pass, so you don’t see this kind of football anymore. Back in these days you had guys like John Riggins, Christian Okoye, Earl Campbell, Larry Csonka and at the tail end, Mike Alstott. You don’t really see these hard hitting full backs that took three or four defenders to bring down anymore. I loved that kind of mud and dirt football and miss it a bit. You can see here that John Riggins had very deceptive speed for a man his size. He was quite explosive coming at the line. It also helps when you have the “Hogs” blocking for you. Doc Walker and later, Don Warren were real beasts as lead blockers, clearing holes even when the line was stacked. Riggins was the kind of back that the defense knew was coming and still couldn’t stop him. John picked up the tough yards, up the middle, carrying the ball 30 or more times a game and picking up first downs three or four yards at a time. I don’t know how his body took such punishment? Another secret to his success was pulling tackle Joe Jacoby. At 6’ 7” and nearly 300 lbs., Joe could clear out a hole a semi could drive through. In fact, Jacoby was like a semi coming through that line. Riggins just needed to find number 66 and ride it to the promise land. The fact that Jacoby is not in the Hall Of Fame shows that linemen get little respect when it comes to HOF inductions. At least Russ Grimm was inducted in 2010, but Jacoby was just as important to the Hogs as Grimm and played in all four Super Bowls Washington made between 1982 and 1992, winning 3 out of 4 during the Joe Gibbs dynasty.

It's kind of hard to argue that Joe Gibbs is the greatest coach in the history of the modern NFL (Post-merger). Up until Brady left New England for Tampa Bay, there was one Hell of a case for Bellicheck--but it looks more and more like he had the benefit of the greatest QB in the history of the sport. Gibbs won three titles with 3 different starting QBs and a trio of different tailbacks. The "Fun bunch" was different from "The Pose" too. But what proves it to me is that he had not one single former assistant have success as a Head Coach at any level.
