No sir!! These guys tore their ligaments usually just played through it.... different times different men different game! Legends
At this point, what isn't?Your threads are boring.
According to Eagles fans that was the hit that started the rivalry
"On Dec. 10, 1967, Jordan delivered an elbow and forearm to the face of Eagles running back Timmy Brown, a hit naked and vicious and unforgettable for the man who suffered it - or for anyone who witnessed it. Newspaper reports at the time said it cost Brown four teeth. Brown said recently that the actual number was nine."
"No opponent inspires the same visceral dislike that Dallas does, and the genesis of the Cowboys' status as the Eagles' bête-noir can be traced to that single moment, when Jordan shattered the veneer of civility between the two teams in the same instant he shattered Brown's jaw."
"That," Brown said in a phone interview, "started the rivalry."

Dude they knocked the snot out of one another way before those guys. Ever heard of a close line? How about a crack back block? They used to decimate the qb's in a long bygone era. Threw em around like rag dolls, all legal. All the players you mentioned were ferocious hitters in their era as well but the hard hitting started long before they ever stepped on a nfl field.who cares about the field,
football where D.Woodson, Lott, and Rod Woodson type safetys and a lot of LBs could actually hit, tackle, decleat and make an offensive player scared to come over the middle..that was football.. heck no more cleats because of fake fields takes the name decleat out..lol
imagine the career Roy Williams could have had if he was drafted say even 5 years earlier then he was..dude was an enforcer in the wrong era..
Doesn't half the NFL have natural grass? Or close to it?
