(S4) - Weekend PT #2 - Old School Football - RedCydranth - 11-06-2017
Marc Spector, if he was in the 70s era of football would have fit right in with the Steel Curtain in Pittsburgh. While they were the linemen, Spector would have brought the pain when their poor QB tried to throw the ball in desperation. He and Mel Blount would have crushed it every single week out there. I can guarantee without a shadow of a doubt that in the 1976 AFC Championship Game against the Oakland Raiders that they would have won and gone on to defeat the Vikings in Pasedena, California. No coincidence that the location of that big game was in the same region that Spector now dominates in each and every single week. If he had played then, he would have been inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame and would have his name enshrined at Heinz Field along the wall with such greats as Terry Bradshaw, Lynn Swan, Mean Joe Greene, Franco Harris and John Stallworth. But that is a bygone era and Spector lives in modern day America, where the level of competition and talent is far greater, and the competitive advantages are a vastly different landscape. It's less about being more physically dominant and more about knowing schemes and cerebrally being in your opponent's heads. Back in that era, if you could out muscle your foe, you won. That's why those teams like the Raiders, Vikings and Steelers were so great, they had the biggest dudes. Spector is a physically tough specimen and would have fit right in.
