Put it this way. The Patriots owned the single season team rushing record for 40+ years with a great team and a lot of his help. Teams knew they were going to run it and it didn’t matter. They were that good. I give the Ratbirds credit for breaking it but it was a gimmick. Pats flatout just handed the ball off and ran over you.
I can’t imagine how good he would be with todays surgical advances, nutrition and training.
Also I'm assuming this is when defenses were built to stop the run far more than they are today, making it that much more impressive.
